“The late visionary animator and painter Suzan Pitt’s eighteen-minute masterpiece ASPARAGUS (1979) is an immersive and surreal psychosexual fantasia, with an aesthetic best described by curator and writer Haden Guest as ‘thirties Deco meets fifties Googie meets Memphis-style retro-futurism.’ A heavenly fever dream, which played on a double bill for years with ERASERHEAD!” —Hillary W, social media
