Screen Tests (After Warhol), by Canadian artist Shari Hatt, takes its name from the faux screen tests filmed by Pop Art master Andy Warhol between 1964 and 1966. Rather than performing, Warhol’s celebrity “actors,” including film star Edie Sedgewick, musician Bob Dylan, and artist Salvador Dalí, among others, simply stare blankly out at the viewer. In this 2012 video, Hatt transforms ordinary pet dogs into stars, with eleven comic Chihuahuas breaking the “fourth wall” to beguile people passing by.
