Tosh Berman is the author of the wonderful memoir TOSH : Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World. Tosh is the son of Shirley and Wallace Berman, central figures of the underground Beat-era art scene in Los Angeles from the 1950s thru 1970s. Wallace was a well-respected experimental artist whose friends included many famous artists, musicians, actors and poets of that time including Allen Ginsberg, the Rolling Stones, Dennis Hopper, Ramblin'Jack Elliot, Dean Stockwell and the list goes on. So young Tosh grew up around all these famous characters of the LA arts scene and his book shows that world thru the eyes of a child and teenager. It was great to talk with Tosh about his book and about life in L.A. then and now. We discovered that Tosh is also an actor who co-starred in several experimental art films with the GoGos drummer Gina Schock. He also hosted a tv talk show in the late 1980s called Tea with Tosh interviewing various artists and musicians, most notably composer Philip Glass. More recently he puts out a video series called Tosh Talks where he discusses literature, music and culture. In addition to his TOSH memoir, he has also published a book of his poetry called The Plum in Mr. Blum's Pudding, and a memoir of his experiences following the band Sparks in London and Paris called Sparks-Tastic. Tosh is an editor and publisher as well. His publishing house TamTam Books focuses on 20th century international literature, specializing in the works of Boris Vian, Serge Gainsbourg, Jacques Mesrine, and Sparks.

“L'image et son double“au Centre Pompidou, galerie de photographies, Parisdu 15 septembre au 13 décembre 2021Interview de Julie Jones, conservatrice au cabinet de la photographie – Centre Pompidou et commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 14 septembre 2021, durée 17'36.© FranceFineArt.Communiqué de presseCommissaire : Julie Jones, conservatrice au cabinet de la photographie, Centre PompidouL'exposition collective « L'image et son double » au Centre Pompidou rassemble des oeuvres nées d'une réflexion sur une des propriétés principales – sinon la première – de la photographie : la reproduction. Faisant dialoguer des oeuvres photographiques historiques et contemporaines, cette exposition offre un éclairage sur la nature même de la photographie, ses spécificités, et ses liens fondamentaux avec les autres disciplines artistiques.« L'image et son double » présente une soixantaine d'oeuvres issues de la collection du Centre Pompidou, et regroupe une vingtaine d'artistes internationaux, parmi eux : Pierre Boucher, Man Ray, Raoul Ubac, Constantin Brancusi, Berenice Abbott, Hirofumi Isoya, Miklos Erdely, Timm Ulrichs, Paolo Gioli, Sara Cwynar, Kanji Wakae, Wallace Berman, Bruno Munari, Pati Hill, Eric Rondepierre, Susan Meiselas, Claudia Angelmeier ou encore Philipp Goldbach. Plusieurs des oeuvres présentées ont été acquises récemment, notamment grâce au Groupe d'Acquisition pour la Photographie (GAP) du Centre Pompidou.Empreinte du réel, la photographie reproduit, mécaniquement et chimiquement, ce qu'elle a devant elle. Grâce au négatif et aux techniques numériques, elle peut être démultipliée à l'infini. Fascinés par le principe, les mécanismes, et les conséquences de la reproduction photographique, certains artistes ont placé cette notion au coeur même de leurs oeuvres. La reproduction devient alors le sujet de l'oeuvre. Au moyen de dispositifs divers, ces artistes contestent, chacun à leur manière, l'apparente simplicité de cette action de reproduction. Conscients des enjeux liés à la multiplication des représentations visuelles – renforcée depuis l'avènement du numérique – , ils dévoilent les utopies comme les dysfonctionnements des processus de répétition et de copie. Interroger la reproduction, c'est aussi, dès lors, repenser l'identité de l'auteur et son autorité.Cette fascination pour l'idée comme pour l'esthétique formelle de la reproduction révèle aussi, parfois, un rapport obsessionnel au réel, et à sa possession, fantasmée, par l'image. Accumulations, collections, mais aussi morcellements photographiques des objets et des corps permettent de satisfaire, un temps, cette frénésie.

EPISODE: 1  THE INTERVIEWTosh Berman—poet, publisher, bookstorebuyer, record store clerk, son of artistsWallace and Shirley Berman—discusses hismemoir, entitled simply Tosh (CityLights). The subtitle says it all: “Growingup in Wallace Berman’s world.”THE READING  Tosh reads from Tosh, his memoir.Credit: Music by Thelonious Monk   

Tosh Berman chats with Hole in the Air's Gabrielle Neuman, Paul M. Neuman and Renee Nahum about his book, Tosh: Growing up in Wallace Berman's World, as well as about many other famous and not so famous folks, music, L.A.,and even the TV Show The Rifleman.

Tosh Berman, the son of the artist Wallace Berman, describes his childhood surrounded by the revolutionary artists of the Beat movement.

Writer and avant-garde publisher Tosh Berman discusses growing up in postwar California, hipster sexism, the hippie horrors of Topanga canyon, his impressions of family friends like Cameron and Brian Jones, and his charming new memoir Tosh, about growing up with his father, the remarkable underground California artist Wallace Berman.  

TOSH is a memoir of growing up as the son of an enigmatic, much-admired, hermetic, and ruthlessly bohemian artist during the waning years of the Beat Generation and the heyday of hippie counterculture. A critical figure in the history of postwar American culture, Tosh Berman's father, Wallace Berman, was known as the "father of assemblage art," and was the creator of the legendary mail-art publication Semina. Wallace Berman and his wife, famed beauty and artist's muse Shirley Berman, raised Tosh between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and their home life was a heady atmosphere of art, music, and literature, with local and international luminaries regularly passing through. Tosh's unconventional childhood and peculiar journey to adulthood features an array of famous characters, from George Herms and Marcel Duchamp, to Michael McClure and William S. Burroughs, to Dennis Hopper and Dean Stockwell, to the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and Toni Basil. Tosh is joined by actor, screenwriter, and musician Jason Schwartzman.

Tosh Berman's memoir, Tosh: Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World, is a depiction of culture brought into Los Angeles from the rest of the world: reinvented to be here.

Author and publisher Tosh Berman, son of the influential artist Wallace Berman discusses his upcoming memoir, Tosh, Growing Up In Wallace Berman's World. Tosh spins tales of growing up with the likes of beat poets Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, being cast as a young boy in Warhol's Tarzan movie with Taylor Mead, hanging with Elvis, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones as well as with Dennis Hopper, Neil Young and anyone else that mattered in the California art scene from the 50's to the 70's. Tosh, Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World out on January 22, 2018 on famed City Lights Press is a complete portrait not only of the time but also of Wallace Berman the artist and his continuing contribution to history. This is a lively interview for the record.

Hello everyone! I talked with Tosh Berman, an influential and beloved member of the Los Angeles literary scene, on his new book entitled, Tosh: Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World. This book is a masterful story of growing up as the son of the well-known artist Wallace Berman, who is often referred to as the creator of Assemblage Art and was a beloved figure in the early "beatnik" or hippie scene in California. Tosh recounts his unique childhood and talks openly about the cavalcade of luminaries that visited his home, his father's influence in the art world, and the impact of Wallace's untimely death on the young Tosh.  Tosh: Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World is published by City Lights books, and is a beautifully written, honest, and endearing memoir of a unique upbringing. The book will be available on Amazon and directly from the publisher. You can learn more about Tosh's book, and Tosh himself, here: http://www.citylights.com/book/?GCOI=87286100746120&fa=description Thank you, and enjoy the show!

The Plum in Mr Blum's Pudding (Penny Ante Editions) “My hours of leisure I spent in reading the best authors, ancient and modern, being always provided with a good number of books; and when I was ashore, in observing the manners and dispositions of the people, as well as learning their language; wherein I had a great facility, by the strength of my memory.” - Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels The Plum in Mr. Blum's Pudding is Los Angeles native Tosh Berman's first printed collection of poetry. In 1989, Berman left the United States behind, moving to Japan after learning his wife's (artist Lun*na Menoh) mother was ill in Kitakyushu. The Plum in Mr. Blum's Pudding was penned while both rapt and lost by this transition. Gracefully toiling between the quirky and earnest, these poems describe the liminal space of the foreigner caught between the strange and the familiar. The result is surreal and unclassifiable, a book of love poems overshadowed by isolation and underscored with curiosity and lust. Originally published in 1990 by “Cole Swift & Sons” (Japan) as a small hardcover edition of two hundred copies, this new edition acts to preserve this work and features an introduction by art critic and curator Kristine McKenna and an afterword by Ruth Bernstein. Tosh Berman is a publisher and writer. His press, TamTam Books, has published works by Boris Vian, Guy Debord, Serge Gainsbourg, Jacques Mesrine, artist Lun*na Menoh, and Ron Mael & Russell Mael (Sparks). He is the author of Sparks-tastic: 21 Nights with Sparks in London. As the son of artist Wallace Berman, Tosh has delivered talks and various essays toward furthering his late father's artistic legacy including his influential folio series, Semina (1955–1964). He resides in Los Angeles. Ruth Bernstein lives in Highland Park where she writes postcards and collects books.

An interview with MORGAN NEVILLE the director THE COOL SCHOOL - a documentary about the Ferus Gallery which from 1957 to 1966 was the catalyst of modern art in Los Angeles. Operating out of a small storefront, the gallery hosted debut exhibitions and served as a general launching point for Ed Kienholz, Ed Ruscha, Craig Kauffman, Wallace Berman, Ed Moses and Robert Irwin, among many other artists. By the time it closed in 1966, the gallery had also played a role in solidifying the careers of many of New York's brightest talents, including Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Donald Judd, Frank Stella, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns building an art scene from scratch and transforming the cultural climate of the West Coast. Neville is an award-winning documentary filmmaker who specializes in history and cultural subjects. Through a series of films on important music subjects (including The Brill Building, Sam Phillips and Sun Records, Nat King Cole, Brian Wilson, Leiber & Stoller, The Highwaymen and Burt Bacharach), Neville has documented stories of songwriters and producers who helped shape 20th-century music, including the Grammy-nominated Muddy Waters Can't Be Satisfied and the Emmy-winning Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues, both of which aired on PBS's American Masters series as well as Channel 4/UK and the BBC's Arena series. The Cool School will air on KCET Independent Lens Wednesday, June 11, at 8:00pm.
