Art and Film critic David D’Arcy flexes both his critical muscles in his GreenCine interview with the artist filmmaker John Waters on the occasion of his new art show, Unwatchable at New York City’s Marianne Boesky Gallery. Waters explains the show title and explicates the contradictory relationship between the way art and cinema deal with images:
It’s called Unwatchable, which is the meanest thing you can say in the movie business. But images that you can’t watch in a movie theater – in an art gallery, you don’t watch them, you see them. So I think the show is the difference between the two worlds I’m in, watching and seeing, which you do in both worlds, and separately, and it’s also – hopefully – insider humor about the art business and the movie business put together.
