Carter, Erased James Franco, 2008 (excerpt)
3:03
From YouTube: "Carter directs the American actor, James Franco in a film that has him 're-enact' every television and film performance from his entire career, creating a new narrative from these re-visited performances. As the film unfolds, Franco also plays the part of Julianne Moore in the Todd Haynes film, Safe (1995) as well as Rock Hudson in the John Frankenheimer film, Seconds (1966). The result is a schizophrenic, daunting and poetic performance that has Franco not only playing 'himself as himself' but also the roll of a celebrated, 'leading lady' (Moore) and one of Hollywood's charismatic 'sex symbols' (Hudson)."

Johan Grimonprez, Double Take ("But It Is 1962")
2:31
Double Take—"But It Is 1962"

From YouTube:
"If you meet your double, you should kill him.

In his new film DOUBLE TAKE, acclaimed director Johan Grimonprez
(dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y) casts Alfred Hitchcock as a paranoid history professor, unwittingly caught up in a double take on the cold war period. The master says all the wrong things at all the wrong times while politicians on both sides desperately clamor to say the right things, live on TV.

DOUBLE TAKE targets the global rise of fear-as-a-commodity, in a tale of odd couples and hilarious double deals. As television hijacks cinema, and the Khrushchev and Nixon kitchen debate rattles on, sexual politics quietly take off and Alfred himself emerges in a dandy new role on the TV, blackmailing housewives with brands they can't refuse.

Bestselling novelist Tom McCarthy (Remainder, Tintin and the Secret of Literature) writes a plot of personal paranoia to mirror the political intrigue in which Hitchcock and his elusive double increasingly obsess over the perfect murder of each other! Subverting a meticulous array of TV footage, Grimonprez traces catastrophe culture's relentless assault on the home, from the inception of televised images to our present day zapping neurosis.

DOUBLE TAKE is edited by Tyler Hubby (The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Welcome to Death Row) and Dieter Diependaele."

"The Generational: Younger Than Jesus"
April 8 - June 5, 2009

For Younger Than Jesus, the first edition of The Generational, the New Museums new signature triennial, fifty artists from twenty-five countries will be presented. The only exhibition of its kind in the United States, The Generational: Younger Than Jesus will offer a rich, intricate, multidisciplinary exploration of the work being produced by a new generation of artists born after 1976. Known to demographers, marketers, sociologists, and pundits variously as the Millennials, Generation Y, iGeneration, and Generation Me, this age group has yet to be described in any way beyond their habits of consumption. Younger Than Jesus will begin to examine the visual culture this generation has created to date.
