Artist and writer Lily Scherlis presents Pool Party, a performance lecture about friendship and swimming pools, and about how friendship does and doesn’t live up to its idealizations in contemporary capitalism. It features material from the television show BoJack Horseman, recent in-depth interviews conducted by the artist, stock imagery and original animations.
