ALFRED LESLIE 

From October 16-December 22, the Allan Stone Gallery, 113 East 90th St., New York, will present the exhibition Alfred Leslie 1951-1962: Expressing the Zeitgeist.

The exhibition will include the only two films by Alfred Leslie not destroyed in a studio fire in 1966 -- Pull My Daisy (1959), co-directed by Robert Frank and featuring Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Peter Orlovsky and Delphine Seyrig, with narration by Jack Kerouac, and The Last Clean Shirt (1964), with quirky dialogue by writer/poet Frank O'Hara -- as well as Leslie's abstract paintings from the period, including 11 large oil paintings and 27 small collages and mixed media works.

The gallery will also screen The Cedar Bar (2002), Leslie's first feature, which he says, "tells the truth about the war between people who make art and the people who write about it." According to an exhibition press release, The Cedar Bar, which premiered at the London Film Festival in 2002, is "pieced together from assorted film clips and remembered conversations at the infamous Greenwich Village artist hangout, The Cedar Tavern. Leslie creates a colorful collage that includes artists' opinions and critical commentary, shedding satirical light on the often contentious relationships between artists and critics."
