Jonas Mekas & Johan Kugelberg (eds): WAIT FOR ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL
1st 2013 100pp Boo-Hooray large folio paperback. Illustrated including colour. NM in NM dustwrapper.
Catalogue for the exhibition staged at Boo-Hooray from Valentine's Day until March 10th, 2013. Artwork, ephemera and photography, spanning Smith’s entire career. “At once primitive and sophisticated, hilarious and poignant, spontaneous and studied, frenzied and languid, crude and delicate, avant and nostalgic, gritty and fanciful, fresh and faded, innocent and jaded, high and low, raw and cooked, underground and camp, black and white and white-on-white, composed and decomposed, richly perverse and gloriously impoverished, Flaming Creatures was something new under the sun. Had Jack Smith produced nothing other than this amazing artifact, he would still rank among the great visionaries of American film” - J. Hoberman.
