The bus departs at 10:00 am for a trip to the Currier Museum of Art to see the exhibit: Warhol Screen Tests. In the mid-1960s, Andy Warhol made hundreds of short films of friends who visited his studio. These silent, black and white films have a hypnotic quality because they are unscripted and are played in slow motion. The films take their name from Hollywood screen tests, although Warhol also referred to them as film portraits or “stillies.” Warhol shot over 400 screen tests, each made on a 100-foot roll of film. This exhibition features 20 films shown across four largescale projections each looping five Screen Tests. The digital transfers have been provided by the Andy Warhol Museum. Approximate return: 3:00 pm. Fee: $33 for transportation and admission. Lunch is on your own at the museum’s Winter Garden Café. If interested, sign up at the Front Desk under “Trips.”
