On Thu 11 June at 20 h we are presenting “What’s Underground About Marshmallows? Texts by and about Jack Smith” (Alexander Verlag Berlin) edited by Marc Siegel.
Marc Siegel will present the book along with a screening Birgit Hein’s KINO ’74 – JACK SMITH (1974) and Jack Smith’s NO PRESIDENT (1967).
The bilingual book brings together a selection of writings by the pathbreaking US q***r artist for the first time in German. The book contains essays by such key Smith commentators as Stefan Brecht, J. Hoberman, Jonas Mekas and Susan Sontag and numerous illustrations of Smith’s performances and projects in West Germany in the 1970s and ‘80s.
