26 REDS & A BOTTLE OF WINE

My friend Jed Parker has just finished well, I'll let him say it. I'll add my two cents after the jump!

Dear Friends:
I ,Jed, have edited another movie recently and I am damn proud of it. Its
called Who Gets To Call It Art? It is a full length documentary about The
curator Henry Geldzahler and his romp through the art world of the 60s which I
worked toward turning into a romp for all the people of today to enjoy.

it has a 2 week run at the Film Forum. So here is a chance for you all to see
a 35mm print of the film!!!! Golly

For all dates between February 1 and 13 you can purchase tickets at
www.filmforum.org starting January 25.

So I don't really have much to add other than to say that I find the period that Mr. Geldzahler worked for the MET to be interesting. Maybe the last truely interesting period of American Art. I never really considered the Warhol lead movement of the late seventies and early eighties little more then the over selfindulgence on a horny faggot.

It seems a normal happening to me now but consider that when Mr. Geldzahler took his post at the MET as it Contemporary Arts Director it was a post that didn't exist. The MET scaresly acknowledged the existence of a living artist, much less exhibited one. Mr. Geldzahler was largely responsible of the legitimizing of artists like Daddy-Fagbottoms (my pet name for Warhol) and Hockney.

This film has been getting good press.
