The first comprehensive John Waters exhibit dedicated to the cinema contributions from the “King of Filthy” opens this weekend at the Academy Museum in Hollywood.
“John Waters: Pope of Trash” will explore his process, themes, and movie-making approach, while tracing the grotesque, daring, tacky, hilarious, and salacious elements that recur throughout Waters’ 60-year career of filmmaking. The exhibit also will show how Waters, who identifies as gay and his movies have redefined independent cinema.
“This is an exciting moment to reflect on John’s career,” associate curator Dara Jaffe told Wallpaper.com. “Many of the socio-economic themes from his films, like class, taste and propriety, have undergone significant social transformation over the last several decades. A striking example is ‘Pink Flamingos,’ which faced bans in multiple countries and carried an X rating by the MPAA upon its release. In 2021, the Library of Congress inducted it into its National Film Registry.”
The John Waters exhibit will open Sunday and close Aug. 4, 2024.
Reservations are encouraged. General admission tickets range from $15 to $25.
