Raymond Pettibon
Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore
Featuring a cast that includes Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore, Mike Watt of the legendary hardcore band Minutemen, and Pettibon himself, this deadpan narrative pays dubious homage to the 1960's radical underground. In this crudely rendered home video of a commune of stoned revolutionaries, the cameras are hand-held, the edits in-camera, and the dialogue is wryly on-target. Pettibon's band of outsiders reenacts a countercultural moment defined by rock music, drugs, and ideological paradox — and in so doing, captures their own late-80's West Coast grunge milieu as well.

Raymond Pettibon
An unprecedented look at the prolific and elusive Raymond Pettibon shows the artist as he toils day and night in his Venice Beach studio on dozens of unfinished drawings, and ruminates on the risks involved in creating works of such stinging satire, erudition, and tenderness.
