Sometimes all it takes is a few words. Or an hour, even if it’s filled with 140-character communications, and they wind up being smart, provocative, and playful.
Last evening I hopped on Twitter, restlessly, after a long day. I was well aware that the pleasure of pondering and writing about contemporary art – my usual, on [...]

Friday the 13th?
No – I’m not going to tackle slasher movies, and I’m not going to write about superstitions!
But with the proverbial places to go and people to see (as alliteration ambles along my edges), how about 13 possible posts for your perusal – in honor of Friday the 13th?
…
Up for art?
Red, [...]

We sneered. We jeered. We cheered.
No, it wasn’t a sporting event. It was Reality TV – with fourteen artists at the starting line, three down to the wire, and one who took home the prize. Who would have thought that Work of Art would spark so much interest?
Who would have imagined that Abdi Farah would [...]

Paint me surprised. And impressed. And surprised. But more on my thoughts – and why – tomorrow. For now, I’m much too aware of my duo of martinis, enjoyed while watching the show. And I’d like to know what you think of Season 1’s winner on Work of Art.
You got it! Abdi comes from [...]

Mix the martinis! Prepare the popcorn!
It’s hard to believe – but Bravo TV’s Work of Art is coming to a close tonight, with three artists vying for pop culture’s first “Next Great Artist” title. Despite the controversy over this show, plenty of people are planning on gathering round to see Abdi, Peregrine and Miles strut [...]

Miles wonders what sort of dad Captain Crunch might make. Jaclyn is cranky when she catches cold. Nicole is the MacGyver of the Connecticut woods. What else did we learn on Work of Art Episode 9?
Certainly very little about guest judge Michele Oka Doner. And why are we offered guest judges again? Might it be [...]

They’re tired. They’re stressed. They’re young.
Work of Art Episode 8, “Opposites Attract,” offers a reasonable challenge balancing specificity and free reign – in itself a fitting representation of the parameters of this week’s project. The remaining six artists are paired in teams, and tasked with collaborating on dualities: male and female, Heaven and Hell, [...]

It came to me in my sleep. Oh, it was hardly a revelation. But it was some sort of clarity. Hmm. Sleeping. Was I channeling Miles?
Work of Art Episode 7 may have been titled Child’s Play, but it should have been called Infancy. And that’s the perfect metaphor to address this show in its current [...]

Buzz over a celebrity engagement. Buzz over bad behavior. Buzz over a new gadget, or political scandal. Hello Levi and Bristol? Mel Gibson? The iPhone4? Mark Sanford, or maybe even Al and Tipper Gore?
Buzz over our favorite television shows, like reality TV. Buzz over Erik and Miles, name calling on Work of Art.
Controversy causes buzz; [...]

The other evening’s episode of Work of Art has been rolling around in my mind since I saw it. And for more reasons than trying to figure out what would make the series both entertaining (ratings, ratings, ratings – to keep it on the air) and more reasonable. Let’s face it – (so-called) fine artists [...]
