Introduction by Jean-Paul KellyThis program includes Simon Fujiwara’s acclaimed and personal Studio Pietà , Jean-Paul Kelly’s sharp and critical Service of the Goods, and two works by Ming Wong that absurdly and touchingly engage with the legacy of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Eat Fear and Learn German with Petra von Kant.
