This is an interesting video that was sent to me by
Bonnie Brooks
recenty. Remember her? She's one of my favorites. I'll let you watch the video without comment, except to say that S.C.U.M. is based on a manifesto written by Valerie Solanas, the female assassin of Andy Warhol. Her work has since been adapted in various media. Despite the fact that the video is clearly staged, several people are apparently up in arms over its message. What do you think?
Interesting video. Andy wasn't assassinated by Solanas. Even though he was shot four or five times he survived. Perhaps unsurprisingly he kept women at distance after that!
Reply DeleteThe story is superbly told in the film I Shot Andy Warhol.
