Taylor Mead will present a rare screening of Andy Warhol’s finest ‘60s underground narrative: a hilarious, wise, and thoroughly peculiar take on Hollywood’s most popular film genre, starring Taylor Mead and Viva plus Warhol’s usual stable of pretty boys. The evening also includes a poetry reading by Mead, selections from his home movies, and a free-for-all Q&A. Always quirky, always unpredictable, always funny, Mead was one of the prominent stars of the ‘60s underground film scene, starring in several films for Warhol, Ron Rice, and others. A true original, Taylor Mead seemed to effortlessly combine a charming waif-like playfulness with a poignant sense of life’s often cruel ironies. Since that period, he has worked in theatre with John Cassavetes and Al Pacino; made TV appearances on the Carson show and Saturday Night Live; read his poetry internationally; and is currently working on his fourth volume entitled “Son of Andy Warhol.” — Notes by Michael Wallin
