March
8 - April 6, 2003
Curated
by Geralyn Huxley, and shown in collaboration with the Andy
Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
Andy Warhol’s early film and video works cover an enormous
range of projects and subjects. Some, such as Chelsea Girls
and Sleep, became famous in their own time, while others, such
as the works in this exhibition, are only now emerging for public
view.
Outer and Inner Space is a double-screen projection that includes
within it what is believed to be the first-ever video made by
an artist. Screen Tests, of which we will show approximately
twenty (out of 500 shot), are short, and very intimate, silent
film portraits of people who passed through the Factory in the
1960s.
