Hello Ken:
I curated a video show and toured it some time ago called, Language and Disorder. It included Mindy Faber, Delirium, Gary Hill, Incidence of Catatrophe, Charl. Palestine, Nina Sobel, Hey Chicky Baby, Elisabeth Subrin, Swallow and as well as my collaborative work, Corpse and Mirror, with Tony Allard. Corpse and Mirror has toured widely. I didn't take the approach of artist as mentally ill or mad, but the work in which madness is represented.

There are a variety of animated documentaries which confront, and attempt to
represent, various mental conditions. Some are simple PSAs. There are a
few at a website, I think Channel 4, but I can't find the address right now.

The Oscar winning animated short last year, "Ryan," by Chris Landreth, is
another.

The House by Vivienne Jones

Also check out "in the Realm of the Unreal" by Jessica Yu.

Best regards,

Adam
