This is the first installment of The John Waters Collection from New Line, which includes Pecker and Hairspray. But his new fame comes with a price, as he now has trouble getting new photos and as for his family, they’re none too pleased with his progress. He soon starts to display his photos at his work, where someone discovers his work and soon enough, Pecker has become a star photographer. In Pecker, we see Pecker (Edward Furlong) and his ever present camera, as they traverse his town looking for unique shots.
One person who is taken back by Tracy’s ideas is fellow dancer Amber (Colleen Fitzpatrick), who wants to squash Tracy and her talks to integration and as soon as possible. She then begins to use her newfound fame for good, as she tries to advance integration and other issues, which causes some tension with some folks. But with her massive hairdo, huge toothy smile, and perky persona, Tracy manages to score a slot on the show and becomes an overnight sensation, just as she had dreamed.
She wants to be a regular on a local television dance show, but it seems like a long shot to be sure. In Hairspray, we watch as plump teenager Tracy Turnblad (Ricki Lake) chase her dreams, as well as try to make the world a better place. The exhibition will include approximately 90 paintings, sculptures, photographs, and prints by Diane Arbus, Nan Goldin, Mike Kelley, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, Gary Simmons, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, Christopher Wool, Erwin Wurm, and Betsy the Chimpanzee, among others.Ī brochure featuring portraits of the artworks across Waters’ homes in Baltimore, New York City, and San Francisco will accompany the exhibition.Plot: What’s it about? Video: How does it look? Audio: How does it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? Plot: What’s it about? To showcase this provocative gift, queer photographers Catherine Opie and Jack Pierson are guest curating highlights from the collection for the BMA’s Nancy Dorman and Stanley Mazaroff Center for the Study of Prints, Drawings and Photographs. Waters favors works that are visually witty, abstract, and often refer to the absurdities of the art world. John Waters’ bequest of 372 works by 125 artists brings a particular cutting-edge articulation of American individualism to the BMA’s collection, particularly as it relates to queer identity and freedom of expression.
