New Museum Generational: Younger than Jesus

I was expecting to be underwhelmed by this show but it was fantastic, in particular the videos and photographs. My favorite video was by Frenchman Cyprien Gaillard. Titled Desniansky Raion, the video features a soundtrack by French musician Koudlam and merges footage of rival fight club gangs in the suburbs of St. Petersburg meeting in a desolate public housing parking lot to pummel each other to bloody messes with video of another disquieting spectacle: that of the destruction of a failed Parisian housing block complete with disney-style light show cheeze. Finally we see illegal aerial footage of a housing project in the suburbs of Kiev. I am still thinking about the video three days later.
