gay in PS1

I've been told you can't say "that is so gay!" anymore. {'THAT is sooooooo gay!'}
Is offensive.
Not that I ever said it.
But when I saw the big Jonathan Horrowitz show at PS1, that was pretty much all that went through my head. Without really knowing what it means.
But these are the ingredients from horrowitz's show; Lots of Celebrities, brands, wit & humor, sparkles & glitter, aids-politics, Elisabeth Taylor, media gossip & the pope.
Let's say; it's good light entertainment.


Also gay, but more interesting and now with a first museum show in
US is the master of underground movie Kenneth Anger (wiki)

The whole show is wrapped in some red blood rubber like plastic.
Floor, walls and ceiling. Very hot & horny.
Looks quite amazing.

I don't think theirs more famous underground filmmakers then Kenneth Anger(1927). Famous & underground;Yes; he could have made the crossed over to art-house by now. Like john waters, Jarmush, etc. It's strange because his stuff is not that experimental. It's not Jonas Mekas or Stan Brakhage. Off course there's nothing wrong with this. But his stuff is so good & still so fresh, that it's a shame that people don't get to see it.
Some of his movies from 1946 (!!) look like they're made now for MTV
Was discovered by Jean Cocteau when he was 19. Worked then with a wide range of people such the likes as; Jean Genet, François Truffeau, Alfred Kinsey (wiki), Rolling stones, etc, etc
You don't have to go to Queens; There's a lot of his movies online..
