Amos Poe is an American New York City-based director and screenwriter, described by The New York Times as a "pioneering indie filmmaker". Amos Poe is one of the first punk filmmakers and his film The Blank Generation[2] (1976)—co-directed with Ivan Král— is one of the earliest punk films. The film features performances by Richard Hell, Talking Heads, Television, Patti Smith, and Wayne County. Rolling Stone named it number 6 on its list of 25 Greatest Punk Rock Movies of All Time.[3] He is also associated with the birth of No Wave Cinema due to films such as The Foreigner (1978), featuring Eric Mitchell, Debbie Harry, Anya Phillips; and Subway Riders (1981),[4] starring Susan Tyrrell, Robbie Coltrane, and Cookie Mueller.[5] During this time he was also the director of the public-access television cable TV show TV Party hosted by Glenn O'Brien and Chris Stein.

Jonathan Herbert (b. 1952, New York City) explores the nonverbal relationship between cosmology and consciousness. He creates unique, intuitive formulations of water-based paint using acrylic and urethane media made on the spot, mid-process. He explores the nonverbal nature of creative inspiration via intuition. These works examine the richness of the present moment while simultaneously referring to a concurrent interest in the expression of the past, of his traumatic experiences and resulting emotions. Much of his work has been informed by his extremely abusive childhood and the unsurprisingly drug- and alcohol-ridden years of his life prior to 1986. His experiences as a night shift cab driver in bankrupt New York inspired the years-long body of work, Views from a Yellow Cab. He drove a quarter-million miles over the course of five years. An important and interesting and uncommon view of humankind, as evidenced in the movie Taxi Driver. Herbert received his diploma from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1977. He continued his studies, via an Independent Study Award from the Museum School, for more than a year in Antwerp, Belgium. He began exhibiting in 1978 in Soho and the East Village and has garnered several solo exhibitions. Many of his group shows have been in New York City, including tagging subways and walls in the East Village of the 1970s. In New York in the mid-eighties, shortly after MacPaint had first been released, Herbert was one of the founders of the Digital Art Movement. During his digital years, Silicon Graphics decorated their entire Seybold booth with his work, flew him to San Francisco and asked him to demonstrate his process during the convention. His digital work has been featured internationally. Herbert for years labored lovingly over the creation of digital medical drawings for pharmaceutical books and journals, continuously expanding his education, which fed his fascination with medicine. His work as a digital artist even led to being interviewed on network TV. Herbert's bibliography begins in December 1982, in the regular Cookie Mueller column “Art and About” in Warhol's Details Magazine. There is also a Jonathan Herbert entry in the Cookie Mueller Encyclopedia. He has appeared in and been reviewed in many publications. Portraits of Herbert are in both Nightline by Peter Donahoe and Taxi: The Social History of the New York City Cab Driver. Herbert's work is in the collection of the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the Brooklyn Art Library, Pfizer Incorporated, the law firm Kirkland and Ellis, and The Kinsey Institute in Bloomington, Indiana. Herbert currently lives and works in Sarasota, Florida, where, every day, he struggles to live fully in the face of multiple invisible disabilities including lymphoma, PTSD, and cognitive impairment, most of which result from 9/11 survivorship.

Grattis säger vi till John Waters kontroversiella film Pink Flamingos som i år fyller 50. Den har kallats för en de mest avskyvärda, korkade och motbjudande filmer som gjorts, men också den roligaste. I slutet av förra året valdes Pink Flamingos in till National Film Registry vilket inte är vilket filmregister som helst, utan en lista över filmer som Library of Congress i USA (landets nationalbibliotek) betraktar som kulturellt, historiskt eller estetiskt betydelsefulla". Lite oväntat kanske.I korthet handlar Pink Flamingos om en strid för att erövra titeln The The Filthiest People Alive, det vill säga att vara världens mest snuskigt avskyvärda människor. På den ena sidan finns det kriminellt belastade Babs Johnson, spelad av den magnifika Divine, på den andra ett avundsjukt och publicitetshungrigt par, Connie och Raymond Marble.I programmet undersöker vi vad det kan ge publiken att se så kallad experimentfilm. Vi berättar också historien av om en John Waters skådespelare, Cookie Mueller. Och så dyker in i den inom skönhetsindustrin ofta bortglömda med ack så viktiga fotvården.Gäst i studion är Petter Wallenberg.

Get ready for this ride into John Waters' classic film, "Pink Flamingos." This is a wild one, so get prepared as Andy and Lucas open this one up! Notorious Baltimore criminal and underground figure Divine goes up against a sleazy married couple who make a passionate attempt to humiliate her and seize her tabloid-given title as "The Filthiest Person Alive". Sleaze queen Divine lives in a caravan with her mad hippie son Crackers and her 250-pound mother Mama Edie, trying to rest quietly on their laurels as 'the filthiest people alive'. But competition is brewing in the form of Connie and Raymond Marble, who sell heroin to schoolchildren and kidnap and impregnate female hitchhikers, selling the babies to lesbian couples. Finally, they challenge Divine directly, and battle commences... Written by Michael Brooke. Special thanks to Ash St. John for the theme music.

Punk Avenue: The New York City Underground 1972-1982 is an intimate look at author Paris-born Phil Marcade’s first ten years in the United States where drifted from Boston to the West Coast and back, before winding up in New York City and becoming immersed in the early punk rock scene. From backrooms of Max’s and CBGB’s to the Tropicana Hotel in Los Angeles and back, Punk Avenue is a tour de force of stories from someone at the heart of the era. With brilliant, often hilarious prose, Marcade relays first-hand tales about spending a Provincetown summer with photographer Nan Goldin and actor-writer Cookie Mueller, having the Ramones play their very first gig at his party, working with Blondie’s Debbie Harry on French lyrics for her songs, enjoying Thanksgiving with Johnny Thunders’ mother, and starting the beloved NYC punk-blues band The Senders. Along the way, he smokes a joint with Bob Marley, falls down a mountain, gets attacked by Nancy Spungen’s junkie cat, become a junkie himself, adopts a dog who eats his pot, opens for The Clash at Bond’s Casino, opens a store named Rebop on Seventh Avenue, throws up in some girl’s mouth, talks about vacuum cleaners with Sid Vicious, lives thru the Blackout of 1977, gets glue in his eye, gets mugged at knife point, plays drums with Johnny Thunders’ band Gang War, sets some guy’s attache-case on fire, listens to pre-famous Madonna singing in the rehearsal studio next to his, gets mugged at gun point, O.D.s on heroin, gets saved by a gentle giant named Bill, lives at night? Never sleeps?
Under rubriken bohem kan man sortera in det mesta - glamour och genier, excesser och excentriker, smärta, svärta och sexuella eskapader, en oändlig mängd plagg sydda av krossad sammet - och en hel del tänjande på befintliga regler och normer. I veckans STIL ska vi ta en titt på den stilbildande bohemen - som idag kanske istället kan kallas för queer. Har vi måhända bara bytt ord på samma fenomen? För det finns en hel del beröringspunkter. Båda uttrycken uppstod, och fick framförallt fäste, i tider som utmärks av snabb förändring. Bohem blev ett populärt uttryck under mitten av 1800-talet, när industrialismen – och massproduktionen – vände upp och ner på ett samhälle som tidigare gått fram i maklig takt. Bohemen fick representera det nya och avvikande, det normbrytande. Drygt hundrafemtio år senare har queer-begreppet kommit att representera ungefär samma sak. I dagens digitaliserade värld har ”queer” blivit ett enormt spritt och populärt uttryck som inte bara används för att beskriva någon som bryter mot den heteronormen, utan mot normer i största allmänhet. Många anser att begreppet därmed vattnats ur, men vilka är vinsterna vi gjort genom att så många av oss idag självklart sätter på oss queer-brillorna? Det tar vi upp i programmet. Bohemerna rättade sig inte i leden, utan utforskade nya sätt att leva och arbeta på, och inte alltid med framgång. Men de följdes ofta med stort intresse från allmänheten. Att beskåda självförbrännande stjärnor är med andra ord inget nytt fenomen. Men det var under 1800-talet som det blev möjligt för fler än de närmast sörjande, att kunna följa dem – ner i fördärvet. I programmet berättar vi om en samtida bohem (eller kanske kan hon bättre beskrivas som queer) – den amerikanska skribenten och färgstarka personen Cookie Mueller, musa till både fotografen Nan Goldin och filmregissören John Waters. I dagarna kommer det ut en ny bok om Cookie Mueller: Edgewise - a picture of Cookie Mueller. Bakom boken står den kanadensiska konstnären och regissören Chloé Griffin. Henne har vi talat med. Vi har även träffat några svenska gränstänjare, som konstnären och musikern Paulina Olsson Wallenberg. Hon har skapat en fiktiv befolkning som hon kallar “New Population”. Och så har vi talat med formgivarna Brita Lindvall och Alexandra Falagara som tillsammans driver Bastion Lab. Det är de som ligger bakom den nya designen av den feministiska kulturtidskriften Bang, bland annat. Veckans gäst är Fanny Ambjörnsson, forskare och lärare i genusvetenskap vid Stockholms universitet.
