By far the most clamorous reception I encountered was at the home and studio of William Wegman, from his three Weimaraners — Candy, Bobbin, and Flo. Wegman is widely known for the photographs, films, and videos he stages of his gray-furred clan. This three-decade story began with Wegman’s legendary Man Ray. Fay Ray succeeded his reign in 1986, as later did her offspring, and theirs in turn. Flo, pictured here, arrived in March of 2011, and Topper in May, shortly after my visit. Appearances over the years have included The Tonight Show and Late Night With David Letterman, and Wegman has created film and video works for Saturday Night Live, Nickelodeon, and Sesame Street. Wegman has also produced a series of children’s books (including Little Red Riding Hood, Mother Goose, and Chip Wants a Dog) and many others for adult readership. “I was so excited to see that chair,” Wegman said...

Analia Saban lives and works in a studio with a legendary past. Before she took over the space on Main Street in Santa Monica, it belonged to John Baldessari and, prior to him, William Wegman. Saban is a conceptual artist who reconfigures traditional media, particularly painting. For example, The Painting Ball (48 Abstract, 42 Landscapes, 23 Still Lives, 11 Portraits, 2 Religious and 1 Nude) (2005) is a 26-inch-wide ball of the enumerated paintings ripped in thin shreds and wound like yarn. For Cotton Canvas Thread from a 7.5 ft-wide Landscape Painting, (2005), a one-eighth-inch-wide strip cut horizontally from a landscape painting was framed and mounted on the wall.Saban still uses the darkroom built by Wegman in the early 1970s. “Everything is the same, even though I’ve been here for three years.” Candid photos of Baldessari’s life, including images of his children, remained on the walls of the kitchen area. Baldessari, after vacating...

Dean Tavoularis was the production designer on the one and only film I worked on, Farewell My Lovely. Aside from Dean, the entire crew from The Godfather was on this film, produced by Elliott Kastner (stepfather of Cassian Elwes and his illustrious brothers), associate produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, with a cameo of the new upcoming heartthrob Sylvester Stallone, and starring truly stellar actors Charlotte Rampling and Robert Mitchum. It's hard to believe that 1975 was 37 years ago!
And now, the 40th Telluride Film Festival (August 29 – September 2, 2013), presented by National Film Preserve Ltd., proudly announces Oscar-winning production designer Dean Tavoularis as its 2013 poster artist. Tavoularis will attend the 40th Telluride Film Festival over Labor Day weekend to present his poster design to the public and hold a poster signing for festival guests.
As a student, Dean Tavoularis studied painting and architecture at different art schools and went on to work at Disney Studios as an in-betweener in the animation department where he worked on the 1955 film Lady and the Tramp. He then transitioned to the live-action department where he worked on the 1954 film 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. His career as a production designer began in 1967 when filmmaker Arthur Penn asked him to lead the artistic direction for Bonny And Clyde. Three years later, he and Penn teamed up again on Little Big Man. He began working with Francis Ford Coppola in 1972 on The Godfather, which was the beginning of much collaboration including the latter two films in The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now.
Tavoularis has spent the last ten years focusing on his work as a painter. His return to film came in 2012 when he was the production designer on Roman Polanski’s Carnage. He has worked on over thirty films spanning four decades, landing five Academy-Award nominations and one win for The Godfather Part II. Tavoularis lives in Paris and Los Angeles with his wife, actress Aurore Clément.
“We are thrilled Dean agreed to do the poster art for the 40th anniversary,” said Executive Director Julie Huntsinger. “The 40th edition will be a remarkable celebration of Tff’s past and present, and Dean’s work with Telluride is a wonderful parallel. He was a part of Telluride in its very early years when he designed a poster for a Tff celebration called the ‘Spirit of Zoetrope.’ We are excited to have him back and to present his vision for this special year. ”
Tavoularis remarks, “When I was asked by Tom Luddy and Julie Huntsinger if I would design the poster for the 40th Telluride Film Festival, I was first flattered and then thoughtful of being part of the Telluride film history. In my own way I pondered Telluride’s past and in fact all film festivals. Like the word implies, a festival is a fair; people gathering to show their films. It just as well could be their tomatoes. It’s an exchange. I wanted a poster that was simple and joyful, that looked homemade with pure colors in shapes that symbolize a 1:85 screen and an audience. One cannot exist without the other. I am very happy to be a small part of Telluride’s history.”
Dean Tavoularis joins a prestigious list of artists who have shared their talents with Telluride Film Festival. Past poster artists include Ed Ruscha, John Mansfield, Julian Schnabel, Dottie Attie, Doug and Mike Starn, David Lance Goines, Chuck Jones, David Salle, Alexis Smith, Jim Dine, Seymour Chwast, Frederic Amat, Francesco Clemente, Dave McKean, Gary Larson, Chip Kidd, John Canemaker, Mark Stock, Laurie Anderson, William Wegman, Ralph Eggleston, Maira Kalman and Dave Eggers.

Signs & Symbols Whitney Museum of American Art Through October 28, 2012 Saturday I woke up early, went for a run in Central Park, had breakfast at The Carlyle, and at 10 went over to the Whitney Museum to meet the artist and director Michael Lee Nirenberg (I just finished an interview with him on his new performance documentary Redacted), the actor James Franco, who Nirenberg was meeting to discuss doing the voice-over narrative for another doc, and Nirenberg's assistant Lana (who also works in the film industry, mostly punching up scripts for comedies) to catch the new exhibit Signs & Symbols, featuring the work of Adolph Gottlieb, Mark Tobey, Will Barnet, Forrest Bess, and others.
Drawn from the permanent collection, the works in the show represent a strain of graphic expressionism that was largely overshadowed in the Fifties by more painterly works, such as Jackson Pollock's spattered canvases and Mark Rothko's stained, atmospheric takes on Veronica's Veil.

Neither of us is old enough to have been fooled by the Trojan Horse (see Wikipedia). But we each have been working in public television decades enough to remember the days when distribution was handled by physically transporting bulky 2-inch videotapes from station to station -- "bicycled" was the word -- and much of the broadcast day and night was devoted to blackboard lectures, string quartets and lessons in Japanese brush painting: The old educational television versions of reality TV.
Yet it also was a time of innovation and creativity. As the system evolved we saw bold experiments like Pbl - the Public Broadcasting Laboratory and Al Perlmutter's The Great American Dream Machine, each a predecessor to the commercial TV magazine shows 60 Minutes and 20/20. The TV Lab, jointly run by David Loxton at Wnet in New York and Fred Barzyk at Wgbh in Boston, nurtured and encouraged the first generation...

Suck it, William Wegman! Your dogs are talentless hacks. What, you think you can just slip a blond wig and a pair of pearls on a Weimaraner and pass it off as Princess Di? Assuming the role of a canine version of a celebrity requires persistence, hard work, talent, and many grueling hours in smizing boot camp. That's why the good folks at Dogster have assembled a group of BAFTA-trained, canine Actors Equity members (or, alternatively, Photoshopped stock images) to present their vision of what the cast of Downton Abbey would look like if they were played by different breeds of dogs. Because I only watched about four minutes of Downton Abbey on Netflix before realizing that I was too dumb to understand what they were saying through their English accents, the humor of this list is probably lost on me. However, I'm sure if you're [...]...

The 2013 Tribeca Film Festival, presented by American Express, not only celebrates film culture but also recognizes leading artists who are part of the New York art scene. In keeping with Tff co-founder Jane Rosenthal's ambition to support all types of artists (not just filmmakers), each festival year twelve local artists donate artwork that will be awarded to festival filmmakers whose films are selected by the Tff jury as winners in their respective categories. This is an especially auspicious year for the Tribeca Film Festival Artists Awards Program, sponsored by Chanel. The participating artists include Stephen Hannock, David Kratz, Curtis Kulig, Gillian Laub, Robert Longo, Angelina Nasso, Erik Parker, Jose Parla, Joyce Pensato, Clifford Ross, William Wegman and Dustin Yellin, all of whom are among the finest contemporary artists in the world, let alone New York City. As is tradition, their works will be exhibited without charge by the ...

Zoners, don’t you all just love it when the news is more absurd than anything the Colbert & Co. could ever make up? Shark attacks in the Red Sea being instigated by Israel’s Mossad? Seriously? Stories like this have to be akin to recess for Stephen and the writers when they are reported. However, having said that, the jokes were anything but elementary, and, as usual, I was laughing so hard, I woke the house. I also really enjoyed seeing Daniel Ellsberg on the show, discussing Julian Assange. Mr. Ellsberg is such a soft-spoken man,...

The second annual Arkansas Underground Film Festival returns to Hot Springs, Ar on Aug. 13-15 for an eclectic mix of both classic and modern films and videos.
Actually, after the festival’s official website vanished from the web following their inaugural edition last year, I thought Arkuff had called it quits. But, they’ve simply moved to a new website and are apparently somehow affiliated with the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival.
It also seems to be a totally curated festival sans submissions from filmmakers. The fest mostly consists of themed short film blocks, such as first films by filmmakers like David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, Jim Henson and Guy Maddin; a night of classic avant-garde films by Bruce Conner and Kenneth Anger; a William Wegman retrospective; and a block devoted to Riot Grrrl cinema by Sadie Benning and Miranda July.

Joining a list of artists that includes Julian Schnabel, William Wegman, and Gary Larson, Pixar artist Ralph Eggleston has lent his talent to the poster for the 37th Telluride Film Festival. Eggleston — who wrote, designed, and directed the Pixar short For the Birds, along with serving as the production designer on Finding Nemo and Wall*E — was inspired by the famous hitchhiking scene from the Clark Gable-Claudette Colbert classic It Happened One Night, though “by way of a trip to the Telluride Film Festival,” said Eggleston. The Pixar vet will create a second poster to be unveiled closer to the festival,...

Jen Bekman
Founder 20x200
Coming of age during the tech boom, Jen Bekman worked her way up through the online ranks -- New York Online, Electric Minds, Netscape, Disney/Go Networks, AOL, Meetup -- only to split the scene for what seemed like career derailment: In 2003 she founded her own eponymous brick-and-mortar art gallery on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. But it was actually a percolator for her next move. In 2007 Bekman launched 20x200, an online gallery selling artist editions, with some prints starting at only $20. 20x200 has taken both the art world and the tech world by storm: Since its launch, 20x200 has sold more than 65,000 prints by both emerging and established artists, and in 2009, 20x200 received $885,000 in funding in a Series A round led by True Ventures.
