Kerry Tribe: There Will Be ________

Overview

On February 16th 1929 Edward (Ned) L. Doheny Jr., son to the oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny Sr was left dead and  bloodied on the floor of the ground floor guest room of Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. His chauffeur/personal secretary (Theodore) Hugh Plunkett also  lay dead.

Scandal ensued.

There Will Be_____ is an exhibition centred around the 30 minute film Greystone, by Los Angeles based artist Kerry Tribe. Revisiting one of the 20^th century’s most shocking and mysterious society murders, this film looks into the murder/suicide/you tell me, of one of America’s highest flyers and his PA. The film and this presentation proposes a series of explanation for how both were killed – the official finding was murder suicide at the hands of Plunkett’s paranoia, but of course the theories are abundant.

Filmed on location at the scene of the murder (in the very rooms the killings took place!) and using only dialog appropriated from dozens of films that were shot within the storied estate, this film and partnered exhibition will have every sceptic swooning, and even the sanest viewers intrigued. Don’t miss it.
