"With three simple poems, Rene Ricard exposes us to the often strained love within class stratification, between those coming together from different worlds, whether Bowery panhandlers or street hustlers, Hollywood movie stars or the highest echelon of European aristocratic wealth. Rene Ricard writes poems that are always honest. Sometimes painfully so."
—Patrick Fox
Zoë Lund retrospective at Anthology Film Archives | July 12–18, 2024
No wonder lone killers, radicals, and zealous converts. . . run through her work. . . . In many ways, it seems like the last gasp of a form of spiritualized, politically engaged artistry that first died with Pasolini, one not destined to survive the ravages of neoliberalism.
—Peter Goldberg, Mubi Notebook, July 12, 2024
Zoë Lund retrospective has just opened in New York at Anthology Film Archives. Guest-programmed and presented by Stephanie LaCava and Manon Lutanie, in collaboration with Robert Lund.

Hot Ticket: A Film by Zoë Lund
After publishing Poems, by Zoë Lund last October, we spent a few months looking for the original reel of Hot Ticket, a two-minute 16 mm film directed by Lund on the occasion of the Rotterdam Film Festival in 1993.
The film was considered lost for thirty years, except for a very damaged version extracted from a videotape in 2002.
We eventually located the original print at the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam. After obtaining the necessary approvals, we were able to complete its restoration this past May.
The film will premiere on July 16, at Anthology Film Archives, alongside a selection of films related to Lund, in the hope of highlighting the radical nature of her work and thought.

A conversation between Gerard Malanga, Manon Lutanie and Raymond Foye, on Rene Ricard
"I met Rene probably around spring of 1965. I was working with Andy Warhol, as Andy's assistant. And I happened to be at the Factory one day, by myself, when Rene showed up. I always remember the first thing Rene said to me was: “I came to seek you out.” And I thought that was very funny. He didn't stay too long, but I was very curious about him."
Read the full conversation here.
Introduction to God with Revolver | by Raymond Foye
"In those days Rene would drop in on friends, collapse for a few hours, borrow money, and be off again. But he often would leave behind poems, scribbled in a book, on the wall, or on some painter's canvas. God with Revolver was compiled from these scraps, which I gathered up in his wake, thanks to Richard Hambleton, William Rand, Robert Hawkins, Francesco Clemente, Brice and Helen Marden, and others.
. . . The poems of the Greek Anthology were his primary model and ideal, and the verses in God with Revolver are likewise satirical, elegiac, homoerotic, epigrammatic, and by turns elegant and crude. The erotic is the door to the divine; God and lover are one, and his is not a Christian god of love. This is the subject of the title poem in this book, 'God with Revolver.'"
Raymond Foye, introduction to the reprint of God with Revolver by Rene Ricard. Full text available online here.
Afterword to God with Revolver | By Patrick Fox
"Rene Ricard was a great actress. Like Nicole Kidman, Rene’s eyes would go bloodshot before ever shedding a tear, calling upon his capillaries for emotional emphasis. . . . His pain was easily accessed, it was just below the surface, obfuscated by his whip-sharp wit, flamboyant charisma, and his above-the-fray demeanor.
. . . In this synthetic light, straining to be heard, Rene, out of nowhere, began telling me about a book of poetry he had been working on. . . . Suddenly he lashed out at me because of a misperceived slight. . . . He saw red, if he blinked, his face would be a cascade of tears, like a Pat Steir painting. But when he raised his head, he was lurid, deadpan. 'I can’t believe you don’t like it.' 'I’ll never get another book of poetry published. No one will ever publish GOD WITH REVOLVER.' End scene . . . and tear."
"God's Cruelties," by Patrick Fox, has been published as an afterword to the reprint of God with Revolver, by Rene Ricard. Full text available online here.

Introduction to Rene Ricard 1979-1980, by Rachel Valinsky
"Today, it is in part for the way Ricard’s poems have indelibly left their mark on the history, people, and literary and art worlds of New York and beyond that Rene’s work should be re-read. They continue to compellingly approach today’s reader in their immediacy, their determination to say all without compromise or reserve, in the risks they take in exposing the vulnerable, precarious, but also licentious self."

UNdocumenta | Apr. 29 - May 1, 2016 | Gwangju
Initiated by filmmaker Raya Martin and critic Antoine Thirion, UNdocumenta is a film festival revolving around lost accounts of cinema (through material destruction, acts of censorship, political, economic or human contingencies) and forgotten histories of populations (marked by repressions, displacements, emancipations, deliberate or imposed disappearances).
Inspired by the works of archivist Paolo Cherchi Usai and anthropologist James C. Scott, UNdocumenta revisits history and cinema through the blind side of their radically excluded material. If history is told by those who left the most traces of their existence, it can learn from paying attention not only to those who were misrepresented, but as well to those who ensured they weren’t leaving any traces behind by means of self-destruction or self-erasure.
UNdocumenta is based on orality, performance, and collective experiences—three elements that are likely to emancipate cinema from its industrial and spectacular ends.
A catalogue, published by Treize, Éditions Lutanie and the Asia Culture Center-Theater, has been released on this occasion, edited by Gallien Déjean.

Fabrice Langlade, in conversation with Cerise Fontaine
"For Dionysos, which is the first work of this corpus, I copied an image from a book like you did in the old days, the Dionysus in the Farnese Collection. I copied its base, its plinth. Formally, when we look at the shoring of an antique sculpture, we see a very modern dynamic. . . . Just look at the Farnese Bull: if you take out the bull, Theseus and all the rest, there’s still something pretty interesting happening there, something pretty exciting, I like that. I did a Hercule that I also borrowed from the Farnese Collection. Other sculptures are the result of pure invention, or interpretations of leitmotifs that we find recurrently in various different sculptures. I’m thinking for instance of the very beautiful leitmotif of the little boy removing a thorn from his foot, which we find in North Africa, in Italy, in Greece, in Sicily. It’s always more or less the same plinth, since the boy has to be seated. I’ve done my interpretation of this theme."

Tadashi Kawamata in conversation with Cerise Fontaine
"I always have a plan when I’m doing a project to alter the thing that we are making, to recycle it, to make it a part of something else. . . . And sometimes when I get an offer for a project they already have a plan for how they’ll use the material afterwards. Sometimes they make a small hut, maybe a garden shed, and they already have it in mind. I always need this sort of after-project, to know how the project will continue in this way. Because this is part of the project too, you know. For me, building up and building down, they aren’t so different."
Tadashi Kawamata, in conversation with Cerise Fontaine, May 2012. Read the full text here.

This collection gathers six interviews given by the American artist Gordon Matta-Clark from 1974 to 1978—the year of his death at the age of 35. In these conversations, Matta-Clark retraces his career and various artistic projects, including his famous building cut-outs, and reflects on the social concerns animating his work. This is the first time these interviews appear in a French translation.
