(WEST STOCKBRIDGE, Mass.) – Multimedia artist Paul de Jong – best known as one-half of the former cult band The Books – will deliver a performance-oriented talk at No. Six Depot Gallery on Friday, June 26, 2015, from 7:30 to 9:30pm, in coordination with “Forgery,” an exhibition of de Jong’s new large screen prints and small digital prints on view at the gallery now through July 21.
De Jong’s lecture performance will illustrate the processes that lead to his music and videos by showing a selection of artful and oftentimes bizarre raw footage from selected VHS tapes and screen completed videos for his new solo album ‘IF.’ De Jong will play improvised accompaniments to video footage and perform some of the music from ‘IF’ as well.
