Well you're probably not bored, but if you are looking for something to do, the Luhring Augustine gallery is having this great show which opens Saturday featuring the photos of Larry Clark. Yes, that Larry Clark.
This exhibition will mark the sixth solo exhibition by the artist at Luhring Augustine since the survey in 1990 of photographs from Clark's Tulsa and Teenage Lust series. His latest photographs are entitled Los Angeles 2003-2006 and reflects the artist's life-long interest in the subject of today's youth within a marginalized urban environment.
There is an opening reception tomorrow night which you can probably crash. Everyone from Jon Waters and Robert DeNiro to Martin Scorcese, Yoko Ono and even Liv Tyler are supposed to be stopping by to get a look at Larry's new work and to see a monolith of his past works.
To celebrate some of the work he's done in the past, there is going to be reunion of sorts of many cast members from Larry Clark's films such as Kids, Bully, Ken Park and Wassup Rockers.
Combining all the members of those casts into one room, and providing them an audience and booze should be fun. Not really fun for the whole family, but fun for anyone not in a family or if you are in a family, but didn't bring them along. I also heard that Quentin Tarantino may be there with his "wife" Tiffany Limos and trying to capture some of the evening on film.
Whatever happens, you know that an evening with Larry Clark is never boring.
Why doesn't someone ever arrest Larry Clark for child porn? Seriously, the man is obsessed with naked teenagers!
ReplyDeleteNo way.he's shining a big friggin light on the youth of today and i think everyone with kids should see the movie Kids- it was amazing and so damn real i felt unconfortable watching some stuff.
ReplyDeleteA real eyeopener for todays parent.
Kudos Larry.
I'm on the fence. I think Larry's work is disturbing, but it's a reality of what's going on between these days. He's the modern John Hughes.
ReplyDeleteInstead of presenting teens as sweet and syrupy and confused he presents them a realistic light — people with raging hormones who make bad choices in order to grow.
I think some parents just aren't comfortable seeing the reality of what kids are up to.
It is quite shocking some of the things that go on!
ReplyDeleteLarry Clark was my guess for Timmy.
