The Last Time I Saw Ron: Tribute to Ron VawterElectronic Arts Intermix is pleased to present an evening honoring the legacy of Ron Vawter, a leading presence in downtown theater, as well as film and video, from the mid-1970s until his premature death from AIDS-related causes in 1994. Held on the 30th anniversary of his passing, the program will highlight Vawter’s collaborations with artists in video, featuring works by Joan Jonas, Ken Kobland, Leslie Thornton, and The Wooster Group. Following the program, there will be a discussion with Ken Kobland and Leslie Thornton. An online, closed-captioned version of this program will be accessible for a limited time in May.This screening accompanies a weekend tribute to Vawter at Anthology Film Archives from April 19-21, dedicated to the stage and screen versions of the artist’s masterwork, Roy Cohn/Jack Smith, and Free Fall, a documentary portrait of Vawter shot behind-the-scenes during a live performance. From April 19-26, Le Cinéma Club will stream Bruce and Norman Yonemoto’s Made in Hollywood (1989), in which Vawter stars opposite Patricia Arquette.
