Malanga photographs incestuous pop culture of the 60's
Once a superstar in several "Harlot," Gerard Malanga has
Andy Warhol films, including now brought to Rice his photo-
"Chelsea Girls", "Couch" and graphic record of a very unique
Andy Warhol. From the Media Center showing.
t*erald malanga
phenomenon in American cul-
ture: the pop culture of the
Sixties. The rock and roll stars,
the high fashion models, -the
Factory personalities, artists,
poets and Superstars are all
on display in an exhibition in
the Media Center.
Malanga's lack of originality
is completely made up for by
his engaging cast of subjects,
all drawn from the avante-
garde art world of New York,
San Francisco, England and
other places. The cleverly light-
ed photograph of Alice Cooper
and her/his snake, and the bril-
liantly executed beach scene of
Taylor Mead are the only tech-
nical standout. The rest are
basically good, solid, attractive
renderings of popular personali-
ties, including Viva, Mick Jag-
g'er of the Rolling Stones, Jimi
Hendrix and Warhol himself.
Other featured members of
the exhibition include Joe D'Al-
lesandro, Jane Forth and Holly
Woodlawn, recently featured in
Warhol's TRASH. The Cock-
ettes, a drag theatrical troupe
from San Francisco, are rep-
resented by Pristine Condition,
radical activists by Abby Hoff-
man, freaky composers by
Moondog and masochist-exhibi-
tionists by Iggy Stooge. ZAB-
KISKIE POINT'S two young
co-stars, Mark Frechette and
Daria Halprin, are also there,

Solomon's Rumanian trip risky?
By DEAN ORNISH
Harold Solomon leaves this
week for Rumania with the
U.S. Davis Cup team for the
finals of the Davis Cup match.
Unfortunately, Harold Solo-
mon may not be leaving for
Rumania this week. Internation-
al tensions may prevent the
match from being played. Solo-
'mon is in a particularly bad
situation, for not only is he
American but also Jewish,
which could have a tendency to
draw Arab terrorism as well as
the general anti-American ter-
rorist activities. Nevertheless,
it appears likely that the match
will be played, with the aid of
CIA protection and security; ef-
forts to change the site of the
match have been unsuccessful,
largely due to the U.S.L.T.A.
Solomon had a summer some-
what more exciting than most
Rice students. He played in
some of the world's most pre-
stigious tournaments, and did
very well in many of them.
Solomon turned professional
last spring after playing two
years with the Rice tennis team.
He b*3gan his professional ca-
reer the first week in May at a
tournament in Brussels, Belg-
ium, where he progressed to
the semi-finals, and won $1600.
From there he went to Paris for
the French Open, lost in the
quarter-finals, and won $2000.
He played Davis Cup matches
in a variety of countries, be-
ginning with Mexico City and
including Spain and Chile. In
Chile, the team was threatened
not to come to the courts "or
your lives will be in danger."
They played nevertheless, and
with the help of armed body-
guards with submachine guns,
won 5-0.
Solomon played other tourna-
ments at Wimbledon, the U.S.
Open in Forest Hills, and a few
other smaller tournaments.
The Davis Cup team consists
of four players, including Stan
Smith, who is ranked number
one in the world. Solomon was
ranked number ten in the Un-
ited States, and will probably
be ranked third this year, and
somewhere around number thir-
ty in world ranking.
The U.S. has won the Davis
Cup for the past four years,
but Rumania is slightly favored
to win this year ... if the
match is played at all.

There is a strange incestu-
ous nature involved in the con-
nections that make up the world
of Malanga's photos: the sub-
jects share apartments,
thoughts, poetry, tapes and pho-
tos. All are connected to each
other by location, intention and
ambience. Increasingly, Malan-
ga has equated his photos with
poetry, and is incorporating
them into books. The exhibit
runs through October 28 at the
Media Center.
