AM Book Table at Weekend with Charles Atlas

Time
4-7pm

Art Metropole is pleased to participate in Pleasure Dome’s first ever Toronto retrospective of film and video works by NYC-based artist Charles Atlas. This special two-day event will feature screenings, a career-spanning multimedia talk, and a book launch for the recent release of Prestel Publishing monograph Charles Atlas, featuring writings by Stuart Comer, Douglas Crimp, Douglas Dunn, Johanna Fateman, and Lia Gangitano.

This two-part video program will feature early dance for camera collaborations as well as narrative driven experimental film from the 1980’s and ‘90’s that take on death, love, lust and violence through humor, eroticism and pathos.

Curated by Kevin Hegge and Jaime Sin.
