Show and Tell


Michel Simon shows Dita Parlo one or two things. I love
L'Atalante
(1934). Just this clip's density of ideas gives an
indication of the
nourishment offered by a full 89 minutes'
duration. Please wait for and note the tattoo.One of only
four
films made by Jean Vigo; he died of tuberculosis I
think the year this
was released.


Martha Rosler's Semiotics of the Kitchen (1975).


Sue Tompkins, performing Grease (2006) at the Tate.


Saw her concretish text pieces at the ICA last year (this piece via the Drawing Room).


And Raoul de Keyser, in his studio.
