Jean-Michel Basquiat

The life and work of New York artist Jean-Michel Basquiat have been marked by a long quest for identity, by his Haitian and Puerto Rican family origins and by a founding trip to Africa. To portray this major painter of the 20th century, who died in 1988 at only 27 years old, is also to evoke the place of black American artists in the conservative and racist America of the Reagan years.

Exploring the pre-fame years of the celebrated American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, and how New York City, its people, and tectonically shifting arts culture of the late 1970s and '80s shaped his vision.

팝아트 계열의 자유구상화가로서 지하철 등의 지저분한 낙서를 예술 차원으로 승화시켰다는 평가를 받는 전설적인 아티스트, 장 미셸 바스키아. 영화는 그 동안 한 번도 인터뷰에 응하지 않았던 바스키아의 두 여동생들과의 인터뷰를 통해 천재적이면서도 비극적으로 짧게 끝난 바스키아의 삶을 이야기한다. 그의 가장 가까웠던 친구, 연인, 동료 예술가들은 그가 항상 직면해야만 했던 인종차별과 마약, 그리고 돈의 유혹에 대해 밝힌다. 또한 수많은 숨은 의미와 저항정신의 시각적 표현이었던 그의 예술작품 또한 중요하게 다루어진다.

From 1978 to 1982, Glenn O'Brien hosted a New York city public access cable TV show called TV Party. Co-hosted by Chris Stein, from Blondie, and directed by filmmaker Amos Poe, the hour long show took television where it had never gone before: to the edge of civility and "sub-realism" as Glenn would put it. Walter Steding and his TV Party "Orchestra" provided a musical accompaniment to the madness at hand, and many artists and musicians, from The Clash, Nile Rodgers, Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Bryne and Arto Lindsey were regular guests. It was the cocktail party that could be a political party. With 80 hours of disintegrating 3/4 inch videotape as a starting point, we tracked down the trend setting participants still living today and found out what they remember of the period and how the show influenced their lives. This, combined with clips from the orginal show, became the documentary "TV Party.
