Make a film about me??? No Means No, H-O!

For anyone like myself, who is absolutely fascinated by the NYC artworld scene from the mid 80’s to the nineties, ‘Guest of Cindy Sherman’ is a nice treat. You get an inside peek in the life of a fairly reclusive artist, from the perspective of her ex-boyfriend, Paul H-O. I must say the doc does jump around a bit. At first, it’s about Paul Ho and the start of Gallery Beat, a NYC public access show that profiled artists and galleries within the scene. You could appreciate the DYI aesthetic and guerilla-style approach to this show. This contrasted nicely with the amount of money that was being thrown at artists, making rockstars out of people like Jean Michel Basquiat and Julian Schnabel.
