Marilyn Minter’s spit slurping film “Green Pink Caviar” will make its West Coast debut when it starts playing on Sunset Boulevard and at several other LA locales this weekend. Hype or Die feels like this is “a little like sloppy seconds to NY’s inaugural viewing,” but it’s actually worse: every Madonna fan in Europe has already seen the salacious display. |Hype or Die|

Madonna and artist Marilyn Minter are “planning a collaboration” according to the Daily News, but nobody knows what it is. Minter guesses the 50-year-old pop star wants to be photographed or videotaped, presumably with a face full of slobber and jelly similar to the “Green Pink Caviar” video she bought as a backdrop to her “Sticky and Sweet” tour.
After it’s two month run in Times Square, Marilyn Minter’s saliva slurping film “Green Pink Caviar” will go on display in Madonna’s upcoming tour. Minter was surprised by the request, and initially wondered, “Wow, how much does she want me to pay her?.” But Madonna, a collector of Minter’s photos, paid a lot of loot and sent tickets to see the video on display at her next concert in London.

While her film “Green Pink Caviar” is on display in Times Square, artist Marilyn Minter recently opened an exhibition by the same name at Salon 94 in Freeman’s alley, displaying enormous photorealistic paintings of models swilling a sticky mixture of candy and saliva. “Pop Rocks” by Marilyn Minter via Salon 94
Starting tomorrow and running through April, a salacious new video installation will give Times Square tourists something other than the Naked Cowboy to gawk at. Chewing Color, a selection of video art curated by Marilyn Minter, will show films that “strike a delicate balance between beauty and disgust.” The hourly video program includes Patty Chang’s “Fan Dance,” Kate Gilmore’s “Star Bright, Star Might,” along with Minter’s own “Green Pink Caviar,” for which the trailer is included above. The program was curated for 44 1/2, Creative Time’s video art presentation on MTV’s outdoor screen between 44th and 45th street in Times Square.
