Item Description
This is for a very scarce VHS entitled "An Evening
of Blaster Al," produced by Art Maggots/Popular Reality Productions.
This features Stephen Sleaze Steele "live at Crowbar Manor Oct 4, 1995" -
Crowbar Manor is just someone's living room, btw... In this - Sleaze
Steele performs "the following Blaster Al Ackerman stories: The Ecstasy
of Macaroni, The Autobiography of a Flea or Little Women, I Remember
Spine Weakly, The True Reality, The Man in the Green Nightshirt, and
Glunk!" The VHS also features two short films by Sleaze Steele of
Blaster Al stories: I, The Stallion and Kangaroo Island. Please note
that this is not footage of Blaster Al, but rather a collaborator of
his, Stephen Sleaze Steele.
Blaster Al Ackerman is a well-known mail artist and author who has
produced a massive amount of work (much of it focusing on madness and
weird phenomena), and the text from one of his letters was even used as a
Throbbing Gristle song (Hamburger's Lady). Richard Kern used to
publish Blaster Al material in his zine, and has influenced a vast
number of performance artists. Googling "Blaster Al Ackerman" as well
as "Mail artist" can provide you with a lot of info on both the man and
the mail artist movement that he has been a key figure in.
This VHS is extremely rare, and was only available via mail order. This
copy might be a bit glitchy at the start? However, it is also highly
likely those "glitches" are intentional, so... I'm not exactly sure.
Video quality is on the poor side, and that IS definitely as originally
issued.
The cover is paper with xeroxed graphics and info, neatly folded and
taped around a blank VHS box. Presumably the VHS tape purchased to make
this copy. The tape is not labeled in anyway. Pictures are of actual
item, and definitely not stock photos (stock photos don't actually exist
of this product...)
