Since 1981 downtown New York City’s Paper Tiger Television, on Lafayette Street, has pioneered experimental, innovative and truly alternative community media and was an early innovator in video art and public access television of the early 80s.
Next Wednesday on July 28, at 92YTribeca, Paper Tiger Television and Red Channels are presenting a program of three Paper Tiger tapes; two from 1991’s Gulf Crisis project and one of their most recent productions together. For example, U.S. Defense Department Contracts is a live performance piece taped at Manhattan Neighborhood Network Studios in which Paper Tiger reads and responds to the United States Department of Defense Contracts for July 2nd, 2010. These contracts, valued $5 million or more, are announced each business day at 5 pm on the Department of Defense website.
Tickets to the performance can be purchased here.
Upcoming film events at 92YTribeca include Wong Kar-Wai Double Feature: Happy Together and Fallen Angels (July 22): The Other Network (July 23,24); and Meet the Lady: Brett Somers! (July 29).
