Microscope welcomes Nick Zedd back to the gallery for an approximately 60-minute screening program of 17 new and recent video works, most of which are world premieres. The legendary former Lower East Side underground artist is visiting from Mexico City where he has lived for the past 7 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the works making their debut are more than a handful of music videos, a new form for the artist who is best known for his loose narratives often involving amateur actors, transgressive subject matter and complex dialogues. These include \u201cDeathless\u201d (2017), which features Frambuesa Trip and Tim Gendron from The Greys (NYC) and incorporates footage shot inside and outside by a drone camera of the Hotel Virreyes, where Nick Zedd and his family recently became the last holdouts in a showdown with their landlord, who evicted the residents in order to transform the building into a luxury hotel.\u00a0Musicians featured in other works are Vente al Diablo, Natalia Ibanez Laria, and #laBAE.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the exception of \u201cThe Death of Muffinhead\u201d (2016) – starring New York artist Muffinhead and Anais Djin in all the roles and shot and edited in Brooklyn, NY – all the works were filmed in various locations in Mexico including\u00a0Mexico City,\u00a0Sir Francis James\u2019 surrealist gardens in Xochitla, and\u00a0the remote village of\u00a0Icatepec in\u00a0Guerrero.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zedd\u2019s early films were screened earlier this year in “New York Film and Video: No Wave-Transgressive\u201d at MoMA in conjunction with the museum’s current exhibition \u201cClub 57: Film, Performance, and Art in East Village 1978-1983”.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nNick Zedd<\/strong>\u00a0is a film-maker, painter, writer, actor, political satirist, and a leading figure of the Lower East Side cinematic revolution, the\u00a0Cinema of Transgression\u00a0\u2013 a term he coined in a manifesto proclaiming \u201ca new generation of filmmakers daring to rip off the stifling straight jackets of film theory in a direct attack on every value system known to man.\u201d Zedd\u2019s films are screened regularly worldwide including and are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). His paintings have exhibited at Microscope Gallery, ADA Gallery, and Pendu Gallery among others.<\/span><\/p>\n
