Scorpio
Rising box sets
Kenneth Anger is a legendary figure in the world of film
as a result of having produced a string of outrageous cult classics, such
as Scorpio Rising, Inauguration
of the Pleasure Dome, and Kustom Kar Kommandos. The mythology that he
happily cultivated in his more active days has many sources, most famously
his involvement with the occult, but also in the Swinging 60s world of
Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull. Yet at the heart of all of his shenanigans
has always been a unique filmmaker of prodigious talent who’s often
name-checked by the likes of David Lynch, John Waters and Martin Scorcese.
The Magick Lantern Cycle (BFI/18) is a
two-disc collection of ten of Anger’s short films, and is available
on Blu-ray (£24.99) and DVD (£22.99)
We've five sets of the DVDs to give away. To enter email info@
nudemagazine.co.uk with your name and address in the body of the email
and ‘Magick Lantern’ as the subject line. Closing date for
entries is 1 July 2009.

Charles
Lutz Andy Warhol Skateboard
When
you think of places that have inspired great art, large cultural melting
pots such as New York or Paris generally spring to mind. But there must
also be something in the water in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as that was
the small town in which Andy Warhol was born and bred.
Fellow Pittsburghian artist Charles Lutz has been following in the footsteps
of his predecessor, creating consciously Warholesque artwork and packaging
it together in his recent ‘Warhol: Denied, Stacked and Sold’
series.
The story behind the image featured here, and which also decorates a number
of limited edition skate decks is intriguing. Lutz was back in his home
town when he passed an antique store. He explains that, ‘For some
reason, my gut told me to turn around and go in. Once I walked in, I had
a strange feeling like I should be looking for something. Then I saw a
box of old photos. I remember consciously looking for Warhol in the photos,
like someone was telling me that he was there to be found. When my eyes
saw that photo I nearly passed out. I took the photo to the cashier and
paid. When I walked out I knew something truly strange had happened.’
It had indeed. Studies of the architecture and timing of the photograph
leave little doubt that this is a school photo of young Andrew Warhola
himself. 
The Warhola skate decks by Charles Lutz
are signed, numbered and titled in an edition of 100 and cost £170
each. However, we are offering one of these amazing pieces of art as a
competition prize!

as the subject line. The closing date for entries is 30 July
