CUCKOO O’CLOCK: Exclusive documentary screening

This event will take place IN PERSON.

CUCKOO O’CLOCK: Overview of Mr. Underground Jeffrey Cyphers Wright Poet, Artist, Impresario

You are cordially invited to a sneak preview of the first in a series of films highlighting East Village artists and writers. This inagural film focuses on Jeffrey Cyphers Wright and the creative community he is part of. 

From Allen Ginsberg to John Sex. From Cover Mag to Live Mag! From the gardens to the poetry bars. From La Mama to Howl! Romance, lyricism, grafitti, tall tales… please join us for this intimate, informative, and amusing portrait of a quintessential East Village resident.

Filmmaker Luigi Cazzaniga rejoins Wright (Cazzaniga was Cover Mag’s art director and fashion editor and photographer) to create a humorous and historic portrayal. Fast paced and cram-packed with EV lore, this is haute entertainment dressed up in rowdy downtown style. 

Running time: 29 minutes, 51 seconds.

A brief panel discussion  will take audience questions and comments.

LIMITED SEATING!

Reservations suggested.

The documentary is a part of the Creative Visions Inside the Lower East Side project: 

We visit artists’ interior spaces to see where they work and create, and we learn about their inspirations and aesthetic allegiances.

Hopefully this visual experience will provide greater insight into the creative process and artistic culture of the neighborhood.
