    V.VALE AND MARIAN WALLACE

    We’re honored to host the hardcore of SF’s RE/Search publishing project, V. Vale and Marian Wallace, for an evening of rare—and new–underground films, videos, and books! Marian introduces 8 of her experimental shorts, including Project Y (offering glimpses of Kurt Kren at the legendary SOMA punk venue A-Hole Gallery), Drowned World (her JG Ballard riff), plus Words of Wisdom and Human Condition (“cut-up” homages to William S. Burroughs). Complementing her post-Beat cinema is Search & Destroy, Vale‘s copiously illustrated lecture-demo on punk publishing. Plus his—and Jerry Casale‘s–”classical” interpretation of DEVO‘s Mongoloid, and the premiere of a hybrid live-music performance—with Josephine Torio on vocals, Vale on mod synth, and all new visuals—providing the evening’s climax…with RE/Search books on display, including brand new hardback re-issues of both Burroughs and Ballard! $9
