Flash Art — Slater Bradley by Carrie Paterson

Flash Art — Slater Bradley by Carrie Paterson

Slater Bradley’s show stopper is a funny short video called The Abandonments, which recreates Gene Kelly’s performance of Singin’ in the Rain — including tap dancing — at an abandoned insane asylum on Roosevelt Island off Manhattan. 


Throughout the piece an animated rain cloud shadow our protagonist like a cartoon thought bubble with its own mind. The darkening force is a comic mirror of the dandy’s sunny disposition — feinting right, feinting left, ‘pissing down rain’ when the Kelly-double emerges from a port-a-potty.
