"Rest in Pieces: A Portrait of Joe Coleman"
1997
Directed by Robert-Adrian Pejo

An interesting expose on New York City-based painter/performance artist Joe Coleman, who channels apocalyptic messages of death, disease, perversion and moral corruption into controversial and often disturbing works of art. A wholly original thinker working outside of traditional artistic circles, Coleman responds to the political, social, psychic and physical ills plaguing mankind through grotesque paintings and bizarre performances, one of which involved Coleman wiring himself to explosives and biting the heads off live mice. Includes interviews with Jim Jarmusch, Hasil Adkins, Asia Argento, Coleman's wife, photographer Whitney Ward, and more.  112 minutes.
