Paul McCarthy
Selected Video Works (1970-2025)
Thursday 9 July 2026, 7 pm
Rio Cinema, London, UK
Seminal American visual artist Paul McCarthy introduces a selection of his pioneering video performance works from the early Black and White Tapes to the UK premiere of a new episode from the ongoing A&E project with Lilith Stangenberg.
Conceived as both a survey and a point of entry, this one-night event offers a rare opportunity to encounter the groundbreaking video practice of one of the most influential and provocative artists of our time in a focused cinema setting.
As part of a wider programme of art and music, the Rio screening will be followed by a three-night residency at nearby Café Oto, the internationally renowned experimental music venue, where McCarthy will be joined by long-time colleagues from Extended Organ and the Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS).
Presented by I-D.A Projects in association with McCarthy Studios
