Two ephemeral traces of cinema's secret history:
- Portable Grindhouse: The Lost Art of the VHS Box (Fantagraphics) is "a feast for exploitation cognoscenti, reprinting some of the most louche, decadent, minimo-pervo artwork to ever grace a VHS box." [via]
- This weekend at the New Museum: Brody Condon's Case is "a contemporary adaptation of the classic cyberpunk novel Neuromancer by William Gibson. Combining Gibson’s 1980s dystopian techno-fetishism with early twentieth-century abstraction, faux “virtual reality” scenes will unfold via moving Bauhaus-inspired sculptural props accompanied by the Gamelan ensemble Dharma Swara.... and the actress Sasha Grey as the street samurai Molly."
