Maggie Dunlap and Metalabel present Jackass: The Movie

A compilation of absurd and obscene self-injurious pranks, stunts, and skits performed by Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Wee-Man, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Ehren McGhehey.

In celebration of her recent Male Fantasies hoodie release on Metalabel, Artist Maggie Dunlap introduces Jackass: The Movie as an illustration of self-injurious entertainment as performance art akin to the work of artists like Chris Burden, Vito Acconci, and Marina Abromovic.

Transgressive not just for its scatological tendencies or occasional gushes of blood, but for the gleeful self-efface-and-defacement of oft naked men performing absurdist pranks and dangerous stunts which subvert and skewer “masculinity.”

Dunlap presents Jackass as a joyous counterpart to the sadomasochism, violence, and homoeroticism Klaus Theweleit writes about in Male Fantasies. Hoodies will be available for purchase at The Roxy Cinema on 6/22 courtesy of Metalabel.
