“It was a time of William Burroughs and Andy Warhol; CBGBs and the Mudd club; Punks, Rappers and Semiotext(e); ‘Downtown ’81’ and TV Party. And although I may be the protagonist in this exhibition, these photos are more about that time.” —Walter Steding

Walter Steding, an avant-garde musician and visual artist who became Andy Warhol’s painting assistant during the 80s, took hundreds of photographs during his time at Warhol’s Factory, and of the adjacent Downtown scene of New York. Tonight’s photo exhibition includes a print of Andy Warhol’s Haircut #1, and a live performance by Walter Steding at 7pm. The performance starts with music from the days of Marty Thau’s Red Star Records through to Walter’s present work with the band Crazy Mary.

Frederick Wiseman: Law and Order (1969) at Union Docs

September 21, 2014 By WG News + Arts Leave a Comment

law and order screening film union docs“Against a backdrop of American cities riven by racial injustice and class inequality, soaring crime rates and unemployment, and a volatile mistrust of cops and judges, Wiseman made this thoughtful, measured, and often surprising film about the police department in Kansas City, Missouri. Weighing difficult questions of morality and justice, Wiseman goes beyond simplistic depictions of the police as an abusive authoritarian force. Though he does not gloss over scenes of racism and police brutality, his nuanced portrait of law enforcement also offers moments of compassion, comfort, and helplessness.” — Museum of Modern Art

USA | Format: 16mm | 81 minutes
