Hello Frameworkers: For those of you in the Northeast in driving range of Bennington College <https://vimeo.com/126450118>, come check out a new 30-year Luther Price retrospective exhibition. *Meat, Chapter 3: The Maggots Will Find You is on display until Tuesday, 5/12/15*. Luther says it's the biggest and most comprehensive show of his life so far... up here at this tiny little school. I've made a few video teasers of the exhibition below. The school also maintains a website/blog with gallery information here <http://usdan.bennington.edu/>. The school's official press release (with some minor inaccuracies) is here <http://www.bennington.edu/NewsEvents/NewsFullStory/2015/04/16/continuation-of-renowned-artist-luther-price-s-meat-series-to-open-at-bennington>.

Here's the description copied and pasted from the wall text of the gallery: *MEAT, Chapter 3: The Maggots Will Find You* Since the mid 1980’s, Boston-based visual artist Luther Price has been known for his deeply personal, and at times disturbing, Super-8mm films and live performances. In recent years, Price has moved from the Super 8mm format to recycled, distressed, and hand-painted 16mm films and 35mm slides. His 35mm slide work has garnered much attention since their critically acclaimed debut at The Whitney Biennial in 2012. This exhibition follows Price’s *Meat* series, inspired by a violent incident in Nicaragua in 1985 when Price was shot with a high-powered rifle in his abdomen. This traumatic experience symbolically killed the trauma of Price’s childhood. The ghosts of his traumatic childhood, the death of his mother, father, and sister in the late 90s, and the remnants of his gunshot wound are recurring examinations in Luther’s body and his body of work. This exhibition marks the 30-year anniversary of Price’s shooting, death, and subsequent rebirth. It features a brand-new series of handmade 35mm slides, the second exhibition in 30 years of Price’s little-seen sculpture work from the 1980s, and a series of 60 photographs from the 80s by photographer and collaborator, Russell Scholl. A mini-retrospective of Luther Price’s moving-image works accompanies this exhibition. *When Tom Rhoads Died: Early Transitional Works by Luther Price* titles included in this program: *Warm Broth* (1986) by Tom Rhoads, Super 8mm, color, sound, 30min (courtesy of Canyon Cinema) *Clown* (1991) by Luther Price color, sound, 30min (courtesy of Anthology Film Archives) *Sodom* (1989) by Luther Price, Super 8mm, color, sound, 21min *House* (1990) by Luther Price, Super 8mm color, silent, 3min *The Cancers Made Ghosts: A Conversation with Luther Price* titles included in this program: *Home* (1999)*, *Super 8mm, b&w, sound, 13min (courtesy of Anthology Film Archives) *Recitations* (1999) Super 8mm, color, sound, 10min *Home Slides *(2012-2013) 35mm slides, 5min *Door # 2-37* (1997) Super 8mm, color, sound, 13min *Fancy* (2006) 16mm, color, sound, 12min *Kittens Grow Up* (2007) 16mm, color, sound, 29min *Embryo* (2015) 16mm, color, sound, 8min
