This three-minute video consists of images of the Andy Warhol show at the Whitney Museum in May 1971. It also includes a George Maciunas dumpling party on 80 Wooster Street, Soho, on June 29, 1971. George Maciunas, Andy Warhol, John Lennon, and Yoko Ono are pictured, and Jonas Mekas, often referred to as the godfather of American avant-garde cinema, comments on the relationship between Warhol and Maciunas, and Pop and Fluxus. For more information about Jonas Mekas, whose solo show is at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne until 1 March 2009, visit www.jonasmekas.com.
