Via Jezebel:
Bravo's New Insta-Art Competition Is Not the Death of Culture.
I don't do reality television in the general case, so I'm not going to be watching this (except for, perhaps, the 'best bits' versions via YouTube), but I agree with one of the Jezebel comments in that I really, really want to hear from the people at the Brooklyn Museum about this.
Contemporary art dramarama! And much headdesking.
(I sent this link to an offline friend and she replied that it made her think of, 'Competitions for the best artistic commissions. Think baptistry doors in Florence, but with a much shorter time limit.'
...I WOULD SO WATCH THAT SHOW. Who do I have to speak to about green-lighting this?)
