Marie Losier @ Luxe Gallery

Masked wrestlers with curly mustaches and pink pirouetting tutu's are a few of Marie Losier's favorite things. In "Marie Losier OUTTAKES", a portrait of British cult icon, Genesis P-orridge (Psychic TV), we experience her vision through a music video on a '60s Scopitone (video machine) and peephole box. As a filmmaker who's collaborated with the likes of Tony Conrad and Guy Maddin, Losier's work is a remarkable a step into the avant-garde, invoking playful elements of silent cinema in a colorfully youthful tribute to the vibrant P-orridge, whose husky but sensual exterior remains striking.

Losier’s new documentary about P-orridge will premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2009. Losier has also shown at the 2006 Whitney Biennial and New York’s P.S.1; among her films are a child-like stream-of-consciousness portrait of Conrad, plus a film called “Manuelle Labor,” in which Losier “miraculously” gives birth to a pair of Maddin’s hands. “OUTTAKES” is Losier’s first solo show in New York and is on view at the Lower East Side’s Luxe Gallery through October 8.
