COLLECTABLE SPECTACLE “Mark Bellomo” 16 of 18

Collectable Spectacle is an eighteen part documentary series about toy and comic collector Mark Bellomo. Mark is the author of many Toy Collectible Guides ( The Ultimate Guide to GIJOE 1982-1994, Transformers Identification and Price Guide) and has amassed an immense toy and comic collection over the last several decades. His knowledge of nearly every toy line introduced to store shelves over the last 30 years is amazing. I met Mark through the www.yojoe.com forums and decided to fly across the continent to film him as he prepared to photograph toys for his 2nd edition of The Ultimate Guide to GIJOE. What followed was five intense days of toys, toys, and more toys. I hope the inner child in anyone watching these 18 episodes can feel young again. This was a non-profit documentary series made for the toy fan community. All travel and equipment expenses were paid out of pocket by me. If anyone enjoys these videos and would like to offer a small gratuity “thank you” for all the work put into it, please feel free to Paypal any donation to flophousefilms@shaw.ca I appreciate any support, it could lead to future series like this. Enjoy. Episode Breakdown: Episode 1 – Mark visits his two favorite comic and collectible haunts where he talks shop with the owners. Episodes 2-6 – Mark and I visit one of his storage lockers and spend hours reliving Christmas morning with every new box opening. Star Wars, He Man, Transformers, Justice League, Smurfs, theyre all there. Episode 7 Mark …

Mark Wallinger Ecce Homo theEYE

For his show as Britain’s representative at the 2001 Venice Biennale, Mark Wallinger brought together a typically eclectic group of sculptures, videos and installations. Like Ecce Homo, his much-loved life-size statue of Christ created for Trafalgar Square, the exhibition provoked and challenged and moved many of those who experienced it. Mark Wallinger’s art is often witty and immediately accessible yet at the same time it engages with some of the traditional grand themes, including religion, spirituality and death. His recent works include the ambitious environment Prometheus, centred around a wall-mounted electric chair, and Threshold to the Kingdom which counterpoints the arrival of passengers at an international airport (and perhaps also in Heaven) with Allegri’s beautiful music for the Miserere. In this film profile Wallinger considers the meanings and motivations of his art. He also reflects on his earlier explorations of class and identity, most especially in the series of paintings, photographs and videos about the world of racing which culminated in him owning and running the horse A Real Work of Art. theEYE is an excellent introduction to contemporary artists and their works and provides an ideal resource for a wide range of audiences, including galleries, museums and colleges, as well as individual art-lover.
