Saturday, March 29th, 2008Degrassi clips
Friday, March 28th, 2008
We had a long conversation the other day explaining to my friend Craig the revolutionary series that changed teen drama forever. Before Beverly Hills: 90210, before Saved By The Bell there was Degrassi. I just learned through the intercow that there was even an elementary school version of the show.
From Wikipedia:
The Degrassi series is a Canadian drama that follows the lives of a group of teenagers who lived on or near De Grassi Street in Toronto, Ontario. The three main series were The Kids of Degrassi Street, Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High.
I’ve compiled some clips to tribute the original after school special:

Thursday, March 27th, 2008Ryan Trecartin “A Family Finds Entertainment”
Friday, March 21st, 2008This hallucinating clip. From the video art of Ryan Trecartin, brought to you by the Saatchi Gallery, squished through Youtube, and delivered straight to your seratonin…
Enjoy.
Ryan Trecartin’s film A Family Finds Entertainment is a camp extravaganza of epic proportions. Starring Trecartin’s family and friends, and the artist himself in a plethora of outrageous roles, A Family Finds Entertainment chronicles the story of mixed up teenager Skippy and his adventures in ‘coming out’. In this over the top celebration of queerness, Trecartin’s film mines the bizarre and endearing in an unabashed pastiche of ‘bad tv’ tropes. Cheesy video special effects, dress-up chess costumes, desperate scripts, and ‘after school special’ melodrama combine in the fluency of youth-culture lingo, reflecting a generation both damaged and affirmed by media consumption.

From Moto Boy’s Myspace
“Vamped up in high heels and makeup, with a nasty black metalguitar and a stunning high-pitched and baryton-deep voice he´s spectacular in his very own way, combining many beautiful things into one”
