Classic GalleryBeat Television – Gramercy Art Fair, Cathy Speaks Frankly

Paul H-O — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:55:22 +0000

Episode 75 Part 1 of 3 (First time we meet Tracey Emin, empty room, unknown, chilly dealer bloke, can’t take a joke) lol
Same copy.

A long time ago, in the distant year 1994, medium-sized New York art dealers Pat Hearn, Colin De Land, and Lisa Spellman started an art fair in the the historically seedy Gramercy Hotel, famous for housing rock bands on tour and for it’s piano bar. It was also located right across the street from very tony Gramercy Park, exclusive to the residents of said park, and you still need a key to enter it. This was the beginning of the contemporary art fair in the U.S., and would ultimately become one of the most lucrative trade fairs for art on earth, The Armory Show. I used to look forward to hitting the Gramercy Art Fair, with it’s funky rooms turned into funkier New York and international galleries. Almost everyone had a bathroom show, and there were plenty of galleries we would never see again on the planet. Basically, it was a home-made art fair, on the cheap and using all the creativity artist and dealer could drum up for a 3 day run of fun, and maybe a sale or two.

Flesh of the Machine > Artist Sono Osato

Sono Osato, artist. This is a short studio visit and taping I did during the 2011 Dumbo Festival in late September. It’s fascinating to see the array of old manual typewriters and calculators that are gutted to create buoyant metal core mixed media assemblage, along with new paintings that incorporate some metal elements but conveys her deep involvement with the roots of visual language in a passionate freeform style that I would describe as “beautifully beyond”. It’s the here and now but the history of how visual language can seem like a slow volcanic eruption. Sono has shown her work extensively on the West Coast and is represented by The Brian Gross Gallery in San Francisco. Also in the clips – photographer Jung Nam Lee and at the end is a clip from the GalleryBeat Talk Show at the The Brooklyn Museum with Lisa Levy and Pat Daughtery. Music by Ben Neill and GB opening edited by Garett Holden.

Note: Sono Osato is part of the GalleryBeat production team, a loose knit group of creative volunteers I naturally am supportive of, because friendship and community make what I do possible.

Cooking with GalleryBeat @ Pierogi 2000 Show #2 with Oliver Wasow

Paul H-O — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 01:08:10 +0000

CWGB Talk@Piergo 2000 Show #2 -Facebook phenom Oliver Wasow is an acclaimed photography-based artist who also ran one of the best East Village art galleries in the 1980’s: C.A.S.H Newhouse. Not only is his work in international collections, it has also graced the covers of Popular Mechanics and Visonaire. We, on the other hand, had noticed that he had garnered a huge following on Fb for his amazingly funny found photographs. He was working on a major book of found photographs. It was quite an interview that began on an easy pace, but like a sentence that scrunches down to tiny letters at the end – you could say that’s what happened – he needed an hour and we only had 20 minutes. He was great, but never said a word to me since. I guess we could have added actual images but got sidetracked or I got lazy. Check out his site though, wonderful work.

Correction – the gallery is named Pierogi 2000 is now corrected on the headline – sorry!

Odd Nerdum Thrown in Joint for Tax Jam

Paul H-O — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 20:12:04 +0000

From Artinfodotcom via News from Norway
August 19, 2011

Odd Nerdrum, the Norwegian artist sentenced to two years in jail for tax evasion, won’t be allowed to keep painting in prison. He’s appealing his sentence, but if it stands, the 67-year-old Nerdrum will have to leave his brushes and easels behind.

Newspaper Aftenposten reported that the Justice Ministry has stressed that convicted prisoners aren’t allowed to continue their business activities while held in custody. For someone like Nerdrum, who has lived off income from sales of his artwork, his passion for painting will thus conflict with regulations governing prison terms.

It’s different for other convicts, who have been allowed to paint, read or conduct approved hobbies as a means of passing the time in jail. Aftenposten noted that convicted robber Johnny Thendrup, for example, sentenced to 13 years in prison for the commando-style NOKAS heist in 2004, took up his old hobby of painting while his case was pending. He has since continued to paint while incarcerated at the Ila prison for high-risk criminals outside Oslo.

Nerdrum, however, won’t be able to do the same since his painting falls under the “business activity” category.

Nerdrum faces a tough appeal, since the court ruling against him was so strong and made clear that the court didn’t believe Nerdrum’s explanation for millions in undeclared income. Legal analysts continued this week to marvel over how tough the ruling and Nerdrum’s sentence were, and his own defense attorney seemed to agree.

“I have the impression that the court didn’t believe Nerdrum was credible,” Staff told Aftenposten. “Therefore he must prove his innocence.”

It was just earlier this year that another Norwegian artist, Vebjørn Sand, was proposing that Nerdrum beawarded the right to live in Norway’s state-funded honorary home for leading artists called Grotten. Now it appears the state may wind up covering his living expenses after all, but under vastly different circumstances. Nerdrum has repaid taxes and fines owed and maintains his innocence, saying he wouldn’t have been able to paint if he had paid any more attention to numbers. The court seemed to believe that Nerdrum knew exactly what he was doing when he failed to report proceeds from art sales.

While many in Norway support relatively stiff prison terms for tax evasion, Nerdrum has won support and sympathy in artistic circles. Editor and publisher Anders Heger, for example, said he’s long worried that authors and artists, many of whom earn very little and don’t have the funds to spend on lawyers and accountants, are expected to file tax returns like those of large businesses. Heger noted how author Agnar Mykle also landed in major tax battles with the authorities, and he thinks tax issues in general are problematic for artists.

So does art professor Øivind Storm Bjerke. “There of course shouldn’t be exceptions for geniuses,” Bjerke toldAftenposten. “Artist Edvard Munch also had long discussions with the tax authorities.” But he called Nedrum’s prison term “strict,” and several others think there should be separate tax systems for business and cultural pursuits.

The Dark Arts Edition: Anglo-Filing! Murdoch’s News of the World Spins Out of Control Brings Down British PM and Hundreds More

Paul H-O — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 22:36:19 +0000

Magnolia Treet – The Opinions Expressed Are Not Yours or His – a new column

First off, I would like to say welcome and thank you for reading my new column. GalleryBeat Media, as Mr. H-O likes to call it, has been quiet and rather dusty as he chases after documentary film subjects while letting this perfectly nice piece of real estate right here lay fallow. I told Mr. H-O that I would be happy to take care of his little estate in return for room, board and cultural opinion/enlightenment in his squalid little guest house.

I have been intrigued by the arrest of Dominique Straus-Kahn here in New York and what a mess it’s become because it was about sex. We don’t know what kind of sex took place but if the news reports are nominally factual it would seem that Mons. Straus-Kahn left his manly signature splashed about his posh hotel room. Even discounting the maid’s contention of rape to say, half rape, it’s still a mess and if you don’t know who DSK is then you may have to search International Monetary Fund ex-chairman and likely-dashed-hope-future president of France. Now the accuser has brought suit against Rupert Murdoch’s NY Post for calling her a prostitute on the front page.

What has this to do with Paris or London or art?

It’s not as disconnected as you would think, though it has scant connection to the business of art, which is the staple of the professional participants of masterful deception cloaked in academic palaver. Deception is the key, history plays a role, sex and subterfuge mark the twists that bring down the house on both sides of the Channel, or the Atlantic Ocean. (for the art connection see Paris for Perverts, Slate.com)

Since the French are relaxed about sexual escapades then it’s interesting that it may have derailed DSK from the presidency, and the British are historically shaking with unquenched sexual desire yet seem to have no problem with parliament and tabloids snogging over their Pimm’s cups at polo matches. Until now. (The Americans are hysterical about everything, almost all the time)

The speed at which things are unraveling is breathtaking. The Murdochs are back paddling like mad and even killing off their tabloids may not suffice. It’s like a fairy tale.

On July the 4th, just the other day; Nick Davies, the dogged reporter for the Guardian, reported the extremely poor treatment by Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World had hacked the cellular phone of a murdered 13 year old girl named Milly Dowler. The case had been going on for years, but the new allegations are so damning, it may very well bring down David Cameron, the current Prime Minister of England. Murdoch’s NoW “Hackergate” has roiled the readership and beyond, the People want blood. Now the houses of Parliament are screaming because they had been hacked just as badly as the celebrities or Royals. It just goes into the sewer, and then the tabloids go to press.

I think it’s interesting that movie star Hugh Grant had declared back in May 2011 that all the Fleet Street tabloids should be out of business, the sooner the better. Mr. Grant had been the victim of NoW’s cellular hacking, his PIN #s, his banking information, his relative’s private information and now the police have said that thousands of people had been hacked, not just celebrities or royals that hadn’t got much public sympathy until now. That the police were hacked along with terror victims families from 7/7, so that doesn’t help Dr. NoW’s cause very much either.

Since today is 7/7.

Thank you!

Serendipity, cohesion, and conceptual width. Until May 28 at Elga Wimmer PCC 526 West 26th Street #310 New York, NY 10001 ARTISTS: Gabriel Barcia-Colombo, Melanie Bonajo, T.R. Ericsson, Faith Holland, Yeji Jun, Lisa Levy, Sono Osato, Carrie Mae Rose, Jason Swift, Jil Weinstock
http://www3.fitnyc.edu/artmarket/pieceofmind/pr.html What happens when a fresh faced group of twelve F.I.T. graduate student curators spend a year combing the New York art base from galleries to studios? Not only do they come up with ten artists, two of whom are GalleryBeat artists that work with us on production, but their professor is John Post Lee of Bravin Lee Projects. Seredipity, cohesion, and conceptual width. What I like about this particular set of artists and curators is happy enthusiasm, even from veteran artists who catch the bubbly vibe of the F.I.T. tribe right down to a guy as cranky as me, and their teacher, John Lee.

THE ROCK POSTERS MILLIONS HAVE SEEN, FEW KNOW ABOUT, AND EVEN LESS POSSESS

Paul H-O — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 17:43:14 +0000

JIM Evans DECODED Video Trailer V5…

Statement – The Process and Honing a Video Until It’s Finally Imperfect…

The ongoing epic video platforms about the graphic art of underground comics, rock, and movie posters by Jim Evans, Evans discusses his early influences , his work with R, Crumb, Rick Griffin, the creation of TAZ, and Division13. U2, Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters, Blur, L7, Soundgarden, Fugazi, Smashing Pumpkins were just a few of the bands that changed the sound of rock in the ’90’s. Evans had drawn a new kind of poster. It didn’t get pasted on a wall, it was the created LTD edition for the bands, in a humorous, cartoonish dark irony, and the musicians freely discussed graphic ideas that Evans and TAZ would posit. Though the avant-punk movement had moved the poster bar to surreal abjection, Evans and TAZ moved the context one step further – you couldn’t find the face of a musician gracing the composition, reflecting a brief moment in rock history where the music superseded celebrity image neediness. The result was a new style of imagery that reached stadium proportions for the infamous early Lollopalooza festivals. Paul H-O 2011 NYC

Guest of Cindy Sherman – the RAW first monologue by Paul H-O (trailer)

Paul H-O — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 03:00:25 +0000

Before the film had a shape or content I wrote a story script titled GUEST OF CINDY SHERMAN. I then invited a group of of friends and filmmakers to the studio, threw out the script and delivered a monologue about living with Cindy and forgetting what I was doing. Then we made the film and it only took five years. Taped in front of a live audience at Filmlike Studio, Tribeca NY, in 2003.

GalleryBeat Media Report: GO SEE THE SHOW OPEN UNTIL MARCH 5

Curated by Eric Doeringer, this artist manque group show (look it up) delivers a number of blows against the Empire. Exhibited in the less spacious gallery it inhabited in Chelsea, even the non-profit Elizabeth Foundation in it’s present space serves as a gritty reminder that all is not well in the art world masked in image maintenance. They could use some shades, that would help. The show itself is hilarious and informative while exhibiting an excellent skill set of art that dares to critique artist and the establishment the artist so dearly wants to be part of, maybe.

Danny DeVito Takes Down Filmmakers in Sweatfest

Paul H-O — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 03:39:12 +0000

DVD is out – buy it from the Guest of Cindy Sherman site! Out takes from the film interview with megastar Danny DeVito. Co-director Paul H-O introduces the clip for his Facebook friends (3 minutes) and makes it seem even longer. It was the unfounded understanding that Mr. DeVito is something of an art collector, and during the course of interviewing Mr. DeVito the directors Tom Donahue and Paul find that the art collecting reputation was more of a rumor, and that Mr. DeVito does not have much material interest in art or photography. This leaves the directors, especially Paul, in an awkward position, which the experienced raconteur Devito picks up on and uses that realization to reduce H-O to a stammering boob. We still plow on and get the funniest soundbites in the film, so it was worth every bead of sweat. Danny DeVito, good man.

Jim Evans: Artist Decoded Trailer

Paul H-O — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 21:16:54 +0000

In the covert world of rock posters and the artists that create them, there is a hierachy of trend setters that rarely come out behind the wall of graphics. Jim Evans can trace his vector from working with Rick Griffin and the psychedelic era, to working with Nirvana, Fugazi, U2 – from grunge to designing the entire backdrop for the first Lollapalooza events. Keeping the edge Jim Evans has moved quietly from the explosive glare of stadium rock to working with Dreamworks and Paramount, while maintaining a low profile behind a pair of dark glasses and a black Yankees cap.
We bring him out in the open and find out what makes Jim tick, which gets more interesting as we peel back some layers from the archeology of visual rock. Edited by Paul H-O.

Dandelion Man: The DVD release

Paul H-O — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 20:55:37 +0000

Here we go: Peter Bolte is a good all-around filmmaker and good pal and he wants to release his newest feature film on DVD. Excellent chance to become a micro-producer. Hit “more” to see Peter’s links and info about the project:

“In Peter Bolte’s gritty feature film debut Dandelion Man, we follow John Harper on a downward spiral as he drifts through life self-absorbed and unaware of the emotional damage he inflicts on those close to him. That is, however, until he is forced to come to terms with his own past and crippling baggage. This harrowing journey is shadowed by a haunting score by Trevor Dunn.

Three years after its theatrical premiere, Dandelion Man is going to be self-distributed on DVD. It has been a long time in the works.

Currently we are clearing up paperwork with the Screen Actors Guild, designing the DVD artwork and compiling a small handful of special features that will be included on the DVD.

And that is why we are here — We are seeking the final funds to execute the DVD manufacturing for release in winter of 2011. All of the money pledged will go to the final production and release costs.

Please take a few moments to view our Facebook page, website and trailer to consider helping us get this project out to the public.”

Most likely not, and clearly only the assembly of very short clips could be used were an entire documentary film created. But film work is a process of assembly, and the creation of many bits and pieces of things are eventually bolted into place.
