Absurd stories mix with wordplay in the early video works of William Wegman. Product demonstrations, application of household appliance on videotape, stomach hummings. Copyright reminiscing. Man Ray chews the microphone... A selection from the hours of short performances Wegman recorded in his studio from 1970-1978. Selected Video Works includes Two Dogs And Ball (silent), Used Car Salesman, Dog Biscuit In Glass Jar.
Willam Wegman brings together his famous family of weimaraners to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas in a witty and delightful festival of decorating, crafts, cooking, gift wrapping, fruitcake, and more. Watch as Batty, Crooky, Chundo and Fay celebrate the season as only they can.
A series of short, single-take anecdotes that introduce his idiosyncratic approach to video and humor, these technically raw-edged vignettes use understated means to create conceptual sight gags and absurdist one-liners. Wegman's deadpan spoken delivery of his monologues, and his ingenious use of everyday objects, subvert the viewer's expectations and transform the ordinary into the surreal.
