"Work of Art: The Next Great Artist" on Bravo
Anyone else watching this show? Im dying to know if anyone else is loving the shit out of this show too?!
Im really glad to see a show that is attempting to tackle a view of art and the art process even if it is done in a reality style. The thing that threw me for a loop is the whole Sara Jessica Parker thing. Really? She's the executive producer? And her giving a pep-talk to the artists? REALLY? So far, I love Abdi, Miles, Nicole, and Mark. Im not feeling Jaclyn at ALL. Her work feels cheap and the last challenge especially felt like an excuse to take (more) photos of herself. I also wasnt feeling Eric's last piece. I did dig the idea of treating it like a poster and taping it to the wall but it didnt translate well. The whole idea of doing a show on art based on a reality-show platform is just ridiculous but Im completely hooked on this show and have already DVR'd all the episodes with rabid obsession like I do with Project Runway. Dammit, Bravo!

Totally haven't checked it out yet, but your synopsis has me intrigued! Sounds like this is the kind of show that would be right up my alley. I'll look it up and be back for my review.

totally watching it. I like Miles best so far . I agree about the girl who took the naked pix of herself (bad with names) - i heard she as Jeff Koons assistant though which makes her slightly more interesting.
last episode with auto fellatio, cut off thumbs in a jar, photo depicting a "tranny" (his term) with cum on her face etc. Now that's great TV. its on my dvr. |

YAY! What did you think about the 3 little "bomb-heads" winning? I thought they were pretty good but I actually liked the weird Mickey Mouse thing that Miles did and that very disturbing panty triptych. The whole show is interesting to see what the artists were thinking as they created and how they are translating their ideas into different mediums. I fucking LOVE this show and hope it makes it several seasons

Ok, I kinda love you for seeing that lack of bravado and posturing in Miles. I do encounter a lot of people who make art for a living who are pretentious, posturing twits (and lets face it, art is an incredibly personal process for most folks) and was reading some of that in the lady - I cant remember her name - who did that terrible cover for "Pride and Prejudice" where she wrote it backwards and kinda refused to look outside of her own process. I did think that some of her previous work had been really beautiful but that particular challenge caused her work to be at a point where you could tell she had just kinda thrown up her hands and said "fuck it, Im gonna do what I want to do." And did you see where Miles had said that the younger dark-haired girl was incredibly attractive but said that (and now I think her name was Judith) finger-paint lady was also incredibly attractive. I fell in a little bit of love with him for not being ageist <3 I still cant believe that they got to see the actual "Piss Christ" and have the artist judge their work!!! What an honor!

Judith was stuck on her idea of "fine art" vs commercial. Since this was a book cover - she couldn't be bothered. Bent - Yes watch it! |

Ok just finished watching this week's episode....****SPOILER ALERT***** for those who haven't watched yet, skip reading this if you don't want to know who won the challenge!
Jaclyn won....and I recognize that she has changed her view from taking pics of herself to taking pics of people LOOKING at her...but sorry, I am still not feeling her work at all! I thought Miles deserved the win...I LOVED his piece!

Glad that bland boring girl got booted. cheese central. Although mr. cool needs to get it together and stop with the self portraits. Unless that's his thing, then he should do a series or something. love miles. |

Im with you both on the winner:
SPOLIER: DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: So, Im beginning to think that Jacklyn's work, or at least all of them so far, have been a study in narcissism. Although I do have to say that I liked her work this week much, much better than anything she has done so far. The white splotches were cheesy - something that felt like a deliberate attempt to be "edgy" or...I dunno...a way to blur the faces as an attempt to hide her love of exhibitionism. Im also irritated by how many times she has asked other people to think for her about her "next step". I did like Miles's work this week but my FAVE was Abdi! That portrait of the cheeserific smiling race-car driver was so fun and bursting wit forced joy. The labels all over the outfit were pretty great. It was almost a throwback to how people will feel better about themselves based on what car they drive or what label they can wear and the smile on the portrait that Abdi painted felt like an ode to that I HATED the "rock around the clock" thing. It looked like a crazed 5th-grade art project. I also hated the collage with the half-woman, half-car thing that whats-his-name did as an ode to his girlfriend. It felt kinda flat or something, a little too myspacey. I was glad to see the other guy who usually does photography step out of his box this week but agreed that his map-portrait looked like art in a hotel room. I hope he doesnt go home next because I think he is talented.

Yeah the photographers' "map" was bad. maybe with different colors and a more kinetic feel it could have worked, maybe. but as it was. no. |

Dang - I saw somewhere online that they had given the go-ahead for a second season and I wish they'd hurry up! I LOVE this show!

I saw that there was a new post in the thread and got all excited because I thought that maybe someone had heard if a new season was starting or not. Sigh...I wish they'd hurry up too!
