🎞️ last night, we celebrated the final week of our Cameron exhibition by presenting Cameron’s first screen appearance: the black-and-white, initial cut of Kenneth Anger’s Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954), which features an astonishing score by Harry Partch. Cameron as the Scarlet Woman was no less transfixing without her legendary red hair, and the film reflected majestically on the drawings installed on the walls. This is your last chance to spend time with the show! The gallery will be open with regular hours until Saturday October 11, and then will be open by appointment.

On September 4, Craig Baldwin’s 2008 collage film Mock Up on Mu will be screened, tracing the connections between California’s postwar subcultures of rocket pioneers, Beat lifestyles, and alternative religions.
The exhibition Cameron at Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery will be on view September 2–October 11.

🥚 in 1947, Leonora Carrington painted “The Giantess (The Guardian of the Egg)” — she wrote in her memoir that the egg “is the macrocosm and the microcosm, the dividing line between the Big and the Small which makes it impossible to see the whole.” The following year, Cameron visited Mexico and met with Carrington, who had arrived there from Europe in 1942. Cameron’s “Black Egg” is a remarkable self-portrait drawing from the artist’s occult practices and the magical traditions of John Dee and Aleister Crowley. While the black eyes, black egg, and Crowley’s magic calls to mind shadowy forces, Cameron’s work could also be freewheeling and gleeful. The gouache on black paper works of dancing animal-hybrid figures are kin with Carrington’s spritely creatures.
