Rosebud Pettet stopped by the Hotel recently to let us know about an upcoming screening at the Anthology Film Archives. Rosebud was the "spiritual wife" of former Chelsea Hotel resident and the great experimental filmmaker Harry Smith. She is also close friends with many notable artists and Chelsea Hotel residents past and present. Oddly, the hotel denied Pettet's request to leave a few postcards for the event in the lobby. I thought the new Hotel management wanted to help promote the work of the artists connected with the Chelsea.
AN EVENING OF EXPERIMENTAL ANIMATIONS: KAMouflage Films are the work of artist/filmmaker Kirt Markle and his collaborator, Rosebud Pettet. These films have been described as “Dazzling…reminiscent of the later work of Harry Smith.” Rosebud, Smith’s close companion for 27 years, says, “Harry would have loved these…” All films are from 2007/2008, and will be screened on video. Saturday, September 13, 7:00 p.m., 32 Second Avenue, NYC. Admission: $8.00
