7 Videos from Jason Villegas

In honor of the opening on Thursday, August 13, of Perspectives 167: Jason Villegas at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, I thought it’d be fun to post a few of the artist’s videos. And I think “fun” is the right choice of words here, even though “disturbing,” “cracked-out” and “my God what the fuck is that?” also would’ve sufficed. You’ll see what I mean in a minute.

This first one features Grimace. And butt sex.

 

 

This next one advertises LeTigre brand T-Germ snacks, which help starving children in developing nations overcome molecular breakdown, not to mention being ravaged by diseased tigers.

 

 

This one reminds us that lipstick looks like a dog’s penis.

 

 

No, Jason! Don’t do it! We don’t want you to go. But if you do die, can I have those awesome pillowcases after you’re gone?

 

 

Yeah, I have no idea.

 

 

This one is definitely NSFW (as if the others have been squeaky clean).

 

 

And finally we have…well, I think the description says it all: “Cosmic anuses expelling defunct electronics katamari as food product and a fat man’s reverse ejaculation.”
