Eine Pinot Grigio, Bitte

Formed in 1994, the Bernadette Corporation is a creative collective based in New York and Europe and organized around revolving memberships and associations. Its artistic output has ranged from fashion to film and literature, training videos, photography, etc., consistently insisting on the idea that the re-imagined format should inform the subject and give shape to its output. Whereas the first book released by BC was reportedly written by 150 people, in an exquisite corpse format, the second novel, entitled Be Corpse, is described as a screenplay that cannot be a film or a film that can only be on paper. A drama in three acts, the text seeks to make the gap between our primordial and contemporary selves collapse on itself, revealing an instinctless body and the brain manifest as the over-stimulated observer. Above all, Eine Pinot Grigio, Bitte should be received as the continuation of BC's indirect, fiercely independent critique of our late capitalist/globalized world.
