November 22, 2009: Josh Gosfield Presents Gigi Gaston: The Black Flower
Josh Gosfield has assembled the definitive archive devoted to the 1960s French pop star Gigi Gaston, consisting of record art, snapshots, magazines covers, songs and films detailing the rise and fall of this controversial and elusive chanteuse. The reason for Gigi's elusiveness: She never existed! Gosfield, a prodigiously talented painter, photographer, illustrator and videographer, created an entire audiovisual history of the singer who puts the "no-no" in yé-yé!
