Bowie fans mark your calendars: this is a one night only event. Bowie just gave some videos to MoMA and, in conjunction with the current Looking At Music exhibit, they're having a special one night only screening you do not want to miss!! Thurston Moore is introducing the early music videos donated by DB.

Held in celebration of the recent gift from the David Bowie Archive of music videos to the Museum, this program presents a special selection of works by the celebrated musician, actor, and producer. Bowie, who began playing the saxophone when he was thirteen years old, worked as a commercial artist before studying mime and, later, playing in bands.

In 1969 he co-founded Beckenham Arts Lab in South London, a crucible for experimentation that hosted artist studios, poetry readings, and events such as light shows, theatrical and dance performances, and puppet shows. For several of his videos, Bowie collaborated with the photographer and filmmaker Mick Rock, best known for his photos of 1970s glam and punk icons including Iggy Pop, Queen, the Ramones, Lou Reed, and the Sex Pistols. Thurston Moore, of the No Wave band Sonic Youth, provides commentary throughout the program.

There's only one catch: it's sold out! Not surprisingly. And I just looked on Craigslist and there are only two (2) requests! Not even 1 for sale yet. What's a Bowie fan to do?!?
