Herzog's School

The Rogue Film School is not for the faint-hearted; it is for those who have travelled on foot, who have worked as a bouncer in a sex club or as wardens in a lunatic asylum, for those who are willing to learn about lockpicking or forging shooting permits in countries not favoring their projects. In short: for those who have a sense for poetry. For those who can tell a story to four year old children and hold their attention. For those who have a fire burning within.

For those who have a dream.http://www.roguefilmschool.com/default.asp

Steve Martin is "The Great Flydini"


Steve Martin at Disneyland

When he was a teenager, Steve Martin worked at Merlin's Magic Shop in Fantasyland. Here, comedian Steve Martin performs his "amazing illusions" in 1992 on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. I would highly recommend his book "Born Standing Up" for any performer.

Tracey Emin


In 1996, Tracey Emin lived in a locked room in a gallery for fourteen days, with nothing but a lot of empty canvases and art materials, in an attempt to reconcile herself with paintings. Viewed through a series of wide-angle lenses embedded in the walls, Emin could be watched, stark naked, shaking off her painting demons. Starting by making images like the artists she really admired (i.e. Egon Schiele, Edvard Munch, Yves Klein), Emin’s two-week art-therapy session resulted in a massive outpouring of autobiographical images, and the discovery of a style all her own. The room was extracted in its entirety, and now exists as an installation work.
