Artworld Reality Show
I have very mixed feelings about the idea that Sarah Jessica Parker has for a new reality show: artists make pieces of art to be judged. On the one hand, I hate reality shows. Very few of them ever do anything at all except repeat the premise of all the other shows with a slight (and sometimes no) twist. On the other, any show that is about the art world (and I mean real contemporary art, not Thomas Kincaid) is worth a shot.
Art Attack with Lee Sanstead was a recent show about art that was good. It was on Travel Channel. They ran a week of test shows and people voted to see which show they'd pick up. Apparently you can still comment on it(I can't find the voting section). If you want to see some of the graphics used, check this out. Yes the show is over the top, but it is designed to entertain people who aren't part of the art world. I hope they keep the show so maybe I can show my family why I love art so much!
