Here's a description of "Looking for Lovborg":
"By exploding an isolated moment from the end of Act II of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, Zoe Aja Moore and her collaborators mine the play's latent themes of celebrity and mythology. Four actors explore the character of Lovborg and his inevitable crash into sober reality through a fragmented mash-up of text, video, gesture and the music of the Shangri-Las."

Some HD frame grabs (Canon 7D) from this past Saturday's (October 29, 2011) U-N-M-A-R-K-E-D event @ Highways. 4.5 hours of loudly perverse, chaotically sleazy, just plain Wrong Performance, Music, Installation, Video, Drinking, Smoking, Brawling... all evoking the mood of that period in film 1975-1985, when grindhouse became video nasty.

Stay tuned for more pics + a featurette about the event.

GGW review on Tiny Mix Tapes

from a review of the new Captain Ahab video "Girls Gone Wild" on the site TINY MIX TAPES: 

"the track’s video, by Patrick Kennelly, is a textbook case of mincing and blending, going savage with visual cues and our music video expectations ... The result: a PCP-fueled rampage? A mind so wrecked it’s left with little more than static-distorted images of pornography and exploitation? Yes, please!"

Captain Ahab's "Girls Gone Wild" Video Premiere

Released online October 25 is the video I created for my good friends Captain Ahab's 6-year old! single "Girls Gone Wild."  Originally a tour projection, I repackaged it as a quickie stand-alone.

Captain Ahab tours Europe throughout November.  For dates, visit here.

And here's a backhanded compliment on Impose TV.
