Paul Tschinkel, acclaimed video artist from NYC, will be screening two of his short documentaries. Each puts the spotlight on influential photographers: Cindy Sherman and Nan Goldin. The screenings, which will be presented by Tschinkel himself, will take place at a new art space on upper King St. called The Space (2417 Heriot St., Studio F), on February 6. Tschinkel is best known for his local television show Paul Tschinkel’s Inner-Tube, which ran on Manhattan’s Public Access Channel C from 1979-1983 and featured punk bands like The Heartbreakers; and for his trailblazing video magazine, ART/New York, which showcased artists like the American Neo-Expressionists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Julian Schnabel. The event is sponsored by local photographers Caroline Knopf and Mark Stetler. The doors open at 6pm.

Jean-Michel Basquiat interviewed by Dr. Mark Miller (Prof. of Art History, NYU) for Paul Tschinkel’s Inner-Tube, 1983. The 30-minute video interview was screened in Charleston at the Halsey Institute for Contemporary Art, September 5, 2018.
