GEORGE HERMS - FIVE DECADES OF MADNESS

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. See GalleryBeat.net for the feature article .
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
