Published on the occasion of the exhibition ' Flaming Creature' in P.S. 1 Museum, N.Y. 1997. Creator of the notorious film Flaming Creatures, Jack Smith astonished an international audience with his work in film, photography, theater, performance and the written word. Example and antagonist to generations of artists and performers—revered by Robert Wilson, denounced by Kenneth Anger, imitated by Andy Warhol—Jack Smith is ready for his close-up, on location in the streets and ruins of the world. This volume recognizes Smith’s seminal contributions and the need for a significant rethinking of the history of the American avant-garde.
