Presented with an introduction from Lizzi Bougatsos

Formed in 1994, Bernadette Corporation is a multi-hyphenate, international, and anonymous art collective whose feverish output resists categorization. The group has spanned a wide range of cultural production including nightlife promotion, fashion, the magazine Made In USA, the collectively-authored novel Reena Spaulings (Semiotext(e), 2005), an art gallery, and the medium of publicity itself.

Metrograph's screening evening pairs two key video works, which embody their spirit of détournement and defiant self-effacement: Hell Frozen Over (2000), described by the group as "a fashion film about the poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé and the color white,” and Get Rid of Yourself (2002), an “anti-documentary” fusing footage of the G8 summit protests in Genoa, Italy with appearances by actress Chloë Sevigny and artist-philosopher Werner von Delmont.
