"Work of Art: The Next Great Artist" on Bravo

Medusa · 07-05-2010, 06:21 AM

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

i think the bomb heads were good, would have been better with his original vision of 8 (or 9). I was rooting for the mickey mouse thing too - so cool with all the genitalia with in it, and loved that he felt to complete it he had to cum on it. without any bravado or posturing - he just knew that's what had to happen.

that panty triptych was totally creepy, loved the saturated colors. was surprised they didn't want to at least discuss it.
