    Richard Kern is perhaps best known as one of the key figures in New York underground film. His darkly provocative vision is often precariously balanced between whimsical and horrific – a significant characteristic of the “Cinema of Trangression,” which Kern helped define along with Nick Zedd and Lydia Lunch in the 1980s. Kern continues to make films and videos but is more widely known these days for his erotic photographs that have appeared in numerous publications as well as books and art galleries. This program is a survey of Kern’s work presented in high definition video and is followed by a discussion with the artist.
