K' Road Stories - Put Your Hands Together, Please

Jane Sherning Warren’s satirical portrait of the artist as a young woman was one of a series of short films exploring life on the colourful K Road strip. Jaded Arlette (Morgan Albrecht) endures a barrage of art-speak as her posse saunters from her Artspace exhibition opening to Verona Cafe. When the ridiculous art theory of her partner leaves truth far behind, she challenges his cred, and a chase ensues. A drag queen with a pool cue comes to her rescue, and she (and the audience) get an unexpected lesson in how people's identity is a performance.

Nearly everything about Put Your Hands Together, Please is true. Every statement made by the hipsters in the opening sequences is a genuine quote from a real artist, alive or dead (some of them hugely famous) — a little masssaged sometimes to make the whole thing feel like a conversation.
