Be Kind Rewind @ Deitch Projects

BeKindRewindShots.jpg

I stopped by the Deitch Projects gallery in Soho this past weekend, and found dozens of people being loud, laughing and generally having a really good time...not your normal Manahattan art gallery behavior. Did I stumble upon some private hipster bash I had no right being at? Was ecstacy being handed out at the door? Nope, this was a new exhibit by an artist named Michel Gondry called Be Kind Rewind, based on the film of the same name.

If you're not familiar, Be Kind Rewind is the flick in which Jack Black and Mos Def recrete scenes from dozens of famous films. Well, the exhibit is basically an interactive tribute to the movie, with a bunch of makeshift movie sets, props and costumes, and all visitors are encouraged to shoot their own videos.

Is it art? Who knows? Actually, no...I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's not art. But it did look like alot of fun. So if you're in Manhattan, or coming soon for a visit, stop by Deitch Projects and take some very cool home movies.

I took over the dr's office set for about seven minutes. Can't post it here, though.

I said it wasn't art. But everyone was having a really good time (hipsters are people too!)

Don't worry, I'll be posting later about the trash at Rockefeller Center that Deitch is responsible for.
