The artist Jonas Mekas has been a
fixture on the New York art scene for over sixty years, rubbing
shoulders with the likes of Andy Warhol, Stan Brakhage, and FLUXUS
founder, George Maciunas, This program features works made in response
to an ongoing law suit against an unscrupulous art dealer who has been
retaining and selling Mekas' works while refusing to pay the artist his
share. In the five years this struggle has endured, the artist has
received scores of profain e-mails from the "Gallerist". Texts from
these e-mails have gone into the series of Xerox collages titled
"Outlaw: Letters from the gallerist to the artist". If one of the
highest forms of creativity is the ability to make art from diversity,
then Mekas shows why, for over half a century, he's been considered a
master.
