INTRODUCING GREEN PINK CAVIAR!
Marilyn Minter continues her interest in blurring the boundaries between fine and commercial art. Co-opting advertising genres and related spaces, she takes a new platform to direct her first video. Green Pink Caviar (2009) is a lush and sensual voyeuristic hallucination. Filmed with macro lenses, she captures the most minute movements of female mouths licking candy and cake decoration. Driven by her fascination with the body, Minter's film sets the stage for chance to happen.
BONUS FEATURE: '100 FOOD PORN'
In 1989, Marilyn Minter bought 30-second advertising spots during the David Letterman and Arsenio Hall shows as well as a Nightline with Ted Koppel, to show her 100 Food Porn commercial. At the same time, Minter was exhibiting her 100 Food Porn painting series at Simon Watson Gallery in NYC. As she would do nearly twenty years later with her Creative Time billboard project, and now with her 'Green Pink Caviar' trailer, Minter with this television advertisement, used a public, commercial medium both as an outlet for her art and also as a new original art form.
