Concrete TV is a NYC-based public access show by Ron Rocheleau that combines sex, violence and art. STARK RAVING MANIAC WORK OF BRILLIANCE. For more information -www.concretetv.com
Ron Rocheleau has also been firmly at work with GalleryBeat on and off since the 1990's when we were both Public Access producers. Ron's lurid hypervision of a digital schizophrenia began before this could be done on a computer, so he hasn't bothered to get one at all. I think that is the sign of the artist, at least the compulsory type that works more like a writer, and doesn't draw on everything that doesn't move. He talks a lot. He makes me nuts. He also makes moving pictures into deep streams of neurological wonder. The new box set will put you away for good.

| Most of the major museums of the US have signed petitions calling for the release of artist/dissident Ai WeiWei, believed to be incarcerated by the Chinese Government. Who knows? The Chinese have proven to be snowblind to any human rights other than to produce and purchase consumer materials - otherwise all bets are off. The Warhol Foundation is a bit late to the Free Ai Wei Wei groove in releasing their printed actions, but there it is. It's a bit of a no-brainer to take a stand on Wei Wei but it does serve of a reminder that yesterday's hot topics don't go away just because the mainstream media moves to the next thing - and I have to admit dispatching Bin Laden is a BIG DEAL. The following announcement is the unabridged press release from a friendly source at the Warhol Foundation. (H-O) |

RERUN - FOR THE FIRST TIME - I capture the moment that hadn't happened in New York since the 1990's - a video portrait of George Herms working on a new installation at Nyehaus to include in his show of work dating back to 1962. He is the incredible inimitable George Herms, the royal jester King of a generation of artists that began producing the found object assemblage and manufactured objects beyond ordinary recognition. George made the impossible possible, he provides material clues to the surreal manner of talking about his work.
Special appearance by artist Fred Tomaselli.
Directed by Paul H-O
Edited by Gaia Balidini
Videotaped at Nyehaus 8/10
Music by George Herms and Thelonious Monk

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 more »
