Orlando (1992) with Keer Tanchak

Defy aging and death with Heyd and Erin as they discuss this gender bending movie Orlando with Keer Tanchak, a Dallas-based artist who uses historical references in her delicately textured paintings on chunky aluminum surfaces. In this film, we discuss symbolism, colonization and gendered expectations with Orlando's transition from male to female halfway through the story that spans from 1600-present day. With every wink and nod, this delicious film captured a fresh perspective on sexual ambiguity and social hierarchies and we know you will enjoy every drop from the sexually suggestive tea kettle!  Tangents include: butterfly metamorphosis, Freaky Friday, Cottagecore, G.W. Bush paintings, art school critiques, bourgeoisie ennui, gender reveal parties, orgasms and painting, Billy Zane celebrity encounter!  For more information about Keers's studio practice, check out his website http://www.keertanchak.com/news_1.html and Instagram @keertanchak Follow us on Instagram @artists.talk.movies
