As part of thir current exhibition, Lines of Distribution, on view at The Kitchen at Westbeth, The Kitchen partners with Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) to present a screening of Two Moon July (1986)—a made-for-television “arts and entertainment special” directed by Tom Bowes and produced for The Kitchen by Carlota Schoolman. Lines of Distribution examines a subset of The Kitchen’s programmatic initiatives from the 1970s and 1980s—including television productions—that extended beyond the institution’s New York space to distribute the art forms it supported throughout the United States and abroad. The exhibition features a section of archival materials related to Two Moon July, alongside a new video work by artist Wong Kit Yi, which draws inspiration from the television special.


This public program marks a collaboration between two organizations with longstanding investments in artists’ television. It combines a screening of Two Moon July with a panel discussion on the broader field of artistic experiments with broadcast platforms in the 1980s, featuring artists Judith Barry and Kit Fitzgerald, along with writer and musician Johanna Fateman. The event celebrates the life and practice of Tom Bowes (1948–2024), who was on staff at The Kitchen for over five years before directing Two Moon July.
