The Circuit

Tribeca has posted a statement by artist Cindy Sherman, disavowing a doc playing at the festival.

Paul H-O (pictured above with Sherman), a figure in the New York City art world for his public access show "Gallery Beat," has a doc at the fest, "Guest of Cindy Sherman." 

H-O weaves the art boom of the '80s and '90s into his five year relationship with Sherman, the landmark contemporary art photog. 

Sherman reportedly signed off on the project, which includes footage of H-O and Sherman at home, in galleries and honorary dinners, and at work in the studio.

But on the festival site there is now this statement below the film's description:

As my name is in the title and my work and self are so abundantly represented, I would like to counter any assumption that I am or wish to be personally associated with it.  I am not a participant in any events related to the film's screenings in this festival or future presentations.
 
I apologize to all those who participated, thinking they were doing me a favor in giving interviews and otherwise assisting in the fabrication of this film.

Against my better judgment, it was clearly unwise to cooperate with the project at it's inception.
