PIRATE PARTY | PAUL MCCARTHY

NEON presents Paul McCarthy’s and his son Damon McCarthy’s, Pirate Party within the context of the En Lefko Film Festival.

Paul McCarthy’s 4-part projection Pirate Party, 2005, is a visual phantasmagoria of a debauched, grotesque orgy involving blood-like ketchup, human limb prosthetics and very weird going-ons…Its protagonists include such caricatured figures as Osama Bin Laden and George Bush carrying out strange acts of captivity and dismemberment in a bloody and gory stage. Not for the faint-hearted, it is a rampant explosion of chaotic creativity set in a world that has gone horribly awry.

Our warmest thanks to the D.Daskalopoulos Collection for the generous loan of the artwork.
