Mingering Mike - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jun 26, 2010
DESCRIPTION:
A documentary about outsider artist Mingering Mike, as part of "The Record Contemporary Art and Vinyl," at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University.

Mingering Mike was born in Washington, D.C., in 1950 and continues to live and work there. From 1968 to 1977, Mingering Mike "released" more than 50 fictive albums, managed several of his own record labels, and played for imaginary sold-out concerts all over the world. The public first heard of him in 2003, when record collectors Dori Hadar and Frank Beylotte stumbled upon Mingering Mike's work in a flea market in Washington, D.C. It was soon discovered that Mingering Mike's career took place solely in his imagination and in the vast collection of intricately handcrafted cardboard records that he obsessed over for close to a decade.
