Hugh Cox Gets the Pink Slip to Play Kenny Scharf’s Cosmic Cavern

Sister Sylvester will present Matt Wilson’s Hugh Cox Gets the Pink Slip, at Kenny Scharf’s Cosmic Cavern, August 18-28. Kathryn Hamilton will direct.

The story begins when legendary adult film star, Hugh Cox, is murdered on the set of his latest film, and the ensuing investigation of his death that unfolds is the bastard child of a 1960s happening and an episode of Law & Order.

The production will feature video design by Peter Clough, costumes by Marina Porter, lighting by Bruce Steinberg, and scenic elements/sculptural pieces by a collective of different contributing artists.

After a sold-out workshop reading at Dixon Place Brooklyn-based artist Kenny Scharf invited the company to create the piece in his Cosmic Cavern, an ongoing installation that he began in his and flat-mate Keith Haring’s closet, and which has been exhibited at PS1 and the Whitney.
