A Belated Christmas Special


The McCaffery Christmas Special from Ethan H. Minsker on Vimeo.

The McCaffery Christmas Special is something I did every year. Just me filming and no one else ever saw it, until now! Now you can't unsee it. I will say sorry for the rape joke. I don't think rape is funny. I do like that fact the rapist dies in the puppet show. If you have any questions or comments leave it below. 

Filmed in Glover-park Washington, DC in 1983 on a Betamax.

Russian News Service


RUSSIAN NEWS SERVICE from Ethan H. Minsker on Vimeo.

When I was a kid I remember watching Kentucky Fried Movie and there being a scene like this. I was 14 years old. It was 1984. But we still hate the Russians? I can't keep up.

Ghost Gun


Ghost Gun from Ethan H. Minsker on Vimeo.

This is a test for an art installation.
These guns move with the whim of a slight breeze, pointing in all directions reflecting the randomness of being targeted and killed. This is meant to be a memorial for the victims of gun violence. I have personally lost friends, and with mass murders and killings in the news looping over and over this project reflects on this subject. Each gun is meant to represent one person killed by a gun. The viewer adds the name. I will make 300 guns for the installation. In the center of the room will be a white box where the viewer can wright the name and what happened to someone they lost to a gun. I will then make a fanzine with selected text from the box. The space behind the box will have the guns hanging and I will place a mark on the floor where people can take a photo selfie and ask them to hashtag #Ghostgun.

I have no clue where I would show this.

ART TALK: Dima Drjuchin

One of our favorite Antagonist artists had a show at the Cotton Candy Machine back in August. We had a chat with him about it on opening night! Cute kids make appearances, and there is some pretty rad art as well. And maybe a bicycle crash. I dunno, you have to watch.

Sadly, the show is now over, but you can still find Dima's stuff on his website!
