Jackleg Testament comes to PAFA
The Jackleg Testament is the creation of artist and musician Jay Bolotin. This surreal and engaging “woodcut motion picture” has been touring galleries and museums since 2006. Yes, it is made entirely of relief prints that were animated and set to an original score.
We in philadelphia are lucky enough to have the piece travel to the Morris Gallery of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where it will be free and on view until May 12th. The rest of you unfortunates can still experience it here via the Youtube. I don’t pretend to know how to put into words the scope of this operatic project, but if you have the time it’s really worth the watching.
