assunto: Kiss, Andy Warhol, da Filipa
Dear all,
I am thinking of organising a screening of Andy Warhol's film Kiss in
several different locations on the same day, which is the 14th of
February, normally known as Saint Valentine's day. It has become an
awful event, crowded with silly red and pink hearts that invade the
shops and the streets of almost every Ocidental town. However, it is a
beautiful event, celebrating love in its most simple and immediate
form.
What I am trying to do is to purpose to some people that I consider
dear friends, and with whom I have worked before, to develop this
project together with me, in a way that this screening could be done
in several different cities on the same day.
I think it is something quite simple to organise and that it can
become a really nice event, not only because most of the people talk a
lot about Warhol's films but very few has had the chance to actually
see them, but also because it is an incredibly touching piece that
analyses the act of kissing in a very conceptual and modern way,
without destroying its romantic and emotional side.
Please let me know what do you think of this idea and if you are
interested in being part of it.
Hope all of you are well and that the new year has started in the best
possible way!
Love (and Kisses!) Filipa
E vai ser assim:
Kiss consists of a series of short, silent, black and white films in
which 13 couples kiss each other. Andy Warhol took more than one year
to shoot the film, between August 1963 and the end of 1964, in several
different locations.
Kiss signs the start of some long term relationships between Warhol
and some of the members of the cast. Such is the case of Naomi Levine
(Warhol's "first female superstar") or Gerard Malanga (who became the
artist's manager during the second half of the 1960's); others include
the art critic Pierre Restany, Ed Sanders (lead singer of the Fugs),
Rufus Collins (a member of the experimental group of the Living
Theatre), the Venezuelan artist Marisol and the American painter
Charlotte Gilbertson.
Several segments of Warhol's Kiss film(s) were shot in Naomi Levine's
apartment. In fact, the first Kiss scenes (that included Naomi kissing
Ed Sanders, Rufus Collins and Gerard Malanga ) were originally known
as the 'Andy Warhol Serial' and were first shown at the Grammercy
Arts Theater in September 1963.
According to the Village Voice's critic Bob Colacello, the idea for
Kiss came as a reaction to The Production Code (an American
regulation, in force from 1930 to 1967, that enumerated the decent
general principles for movies), which stated that films could not show
actors kissing for more than 3 seconds.
Independently of its history, Kiss is a fantastic example of Warhol's
early movies, in which he uses his 16mm Bolex camera to create films
that explore length and stillness, though a hard process of editing
all the short movies.
At the same time, its minimalist and conceptual depicting of the
romantic and deep act of kissing creates a work that gives us a
constant tension between a cold perception of the couple's act of
kissing and an unavoidable feeling of involvement.
