Gerard Malanga, Andy Warhol: Screen Tests / A Diary (1967)
Filed under artist publishing | Tags: · film, photography, poetry
“The 54 stills of Screen Tests/A Diary–which picture actors and poets, socialites and thieves, models, consumers of amphetamine, painters, filmmakers, and musicians–are frame enlargements from short black-and-white silent-film portraits made between 1964 and 1966 by Andy Warhol with the assistance of Gerard Malanga and/or Billy Linich, also known as Billy Name, who lived at the Factory. Each still consists of one or two entire frames from the film footage, and part of either one or two additional frames.” (source).
The stills featuring Salvador Dali, Allen Ginsberg, Jane Holzer, Jonas Mekas, Paul Morrissey, Nico, Lou Reed, Edie Sedgwick, and many others, are accompanied by Malanga’s poetry.

“This collection of essays by leading photographic and film theorists considers the changing relationship between the still and moving image in contemporary culture. The photograph has traditionally been seen as a quintessentially still image. Its ability to freeze and hold a moment in time has been the source of its peculiar fascination and the foundation of much of the theoretical discussion about it. New technological developments in digital media, however, have fundamentally altered the ways in which we think about photography, in particular forcing us to reconsider our assumptions about the still and the moving image and their relationships to differing conceptions of time. Amongst the topics addressed in these essays are: the work of artists who extend the still image in time through the use of video or narrative sequencing; the aesthetic and philosophical analyses of stasis; the place of the pose and tableau in contemporary photography and film; the iconography of photography in cinema; the notion of the cinematic fragment and cultural memory.”
With essays by Victor Burgin, David Campany, Mary Ann Doane, Jonathan Friday, David Green, Yve Lomax, Joanna Lowry, Laura Mulvey, Kaja Silverman, Garrett Stewart, and John Stezaker.
