Art Metropole and Vtape are pleased to present Your 15 Minutes Just Became Eternity, a screening taking place on Thursday May 28, 2026. This program re-screens video artworks by Genesis P-Orridge and h/er affiliates in full for the first time in over two decades. The program of five videos was originally curated by Scott Treleaven for a presentation at Lee’s Palace on November 23, 2000 that accompanied a performance by P-Orridge’s Thee Majesty. The selection of works are “cut-ups,” speaking to P-Orridge’s disgusting, glamorous and complex exploration of the limits of the human body and h/er spiritual investments in disrupting control through creative action.

This screening is a free event that will take place at the Bachir/Yerex Presentation Space at 401 Richmond Street W. As capacity is limited, we ask that you pre-register at this link.
