<\/strong> Microscope is extremely pleased to present \u201cFears and Tremblings of an Angry Dog\u201d by Jonas Mekas, a rare performance and presentation with audience participation on the contemporary art world. The evening will also include short videos by the artist and the first and only one evening exhibition of several never publicly seen works by Joseph Cornell, from Mekas\u2019 personal archives. <\/span><\/p>\n The Angry Dog is an alter-ego Mekas first assumed for his legendary \u201cMovie Journal\u201d column which he began in 1958 and wrote until 1975 for the\u00a0Village Voice<\/em>. In his column Mekas usually championed works, but\u00a0occasionally\u00a0he informed the reader that he had run into The Angry Dog who had “this to say\u201d, followed by a harsh\u00a0critique or even outrage\u00a0about a certain work or a wider development in film, art or the wider culture.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFears and Tremblings of an Angry Dog\u201d is the 2nd performance at the gallery by Mekas following his 2013 \u201cHow to be a Crook and Succeed in the Art World\u201d for which the artist appeared costumed as a clown. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong>
