Ben Davis on Josh Gosfield‘s fake French pop star “Gigi Gaston” : The tale of Gigi the 1960′s French pop star, teen icon and tabloid celebrity.

Ah Gigi. . . I remember her well!

Or maybe not. If you scan the various album covers, photos, posters and ‘60s gossip mags that line the walls of the Steven Kasher gallery, however, you can convince yourself that “Gigi Gaston” is someone you might remember, some obscure, forgotten figure from French pop music history. There is even a convincingly weird music video supposedly by Jean-Luc Godard playing on an old TV by the door. The woman working the gallery desk when I walked through the show told me that at least one visitor had taken in all this ephemera, then turned to her and declared, “I didn’t know that Gigi was of gypsy origin!”
