ultra is interested in the overlaps and intersections between worlds of art, design, performance, fashion, and no one personifies that ground zero better than Andy Warhol. Tonight the Northwest Film Center is showing Andy Warhol, a documentary by Ric Burns, narrated by Laurie Anderson with the voice of Warhol being provided by Jeff Koons (don’t get us started on Koons). See it tonight, September 19 at 6:30 PM at the Northwest Film Center’s Whitsell Auditorium at the Portland Art Museum (1219 SW Park Ave). Be warned, it’s a four hour documentary, but hey, that’s not nearly as long as “Empire” and have you ever seen the tome that is the Andy Warhol Diaries? [ASIDE: did you read Peter Schjeldahl on "Empire" in his piece on the show at MoMA?] The Warhol documentary is also being shown on PBS coming up.
