A Reality Televsion About Serious Art & such

Since "Real World" debuted on MTV, Reality television has becoming a common phenomenon of the entertainment world. To many young people who crave for attention, reality televisions can provide them with instant fame, publicity and scandal that even promote more fame. As you probably know, Bravo TV has had a successful trail of reality television series:

"Top Chef"

“The Real Housewives of New York City,”“The Real Housewives of New Jersey”(no need for pictures, you've figured)

... Now, their latest product
"Work of art"

"Work of art" is a reality television that gathers today's "finest" and "most creative" hip, young artist in all colors, making them compete with each other and ultimately, create a winner. The winner gets access to "opportunities" to jobs and media exposure, which will be crucial to he/she's future success. The series is hosted by China Chow ,(see her bio here, accuracy not guaranteed ). China gets the main legislative right to select and deselect who is going on to the next show or not. Her criteria of being a art critic? None. She is an model/actress though. Having had no actual experience in art (I'm sure she's very good at judging), China Chow is merely a pretty face on the show with little or no content. You might think that I am being biased again these artist. No, I am totally biased against the Cable Network (in this case, Bravo)who recruited these artist. First of all, the show is for rating, and rating= Ad time = money. Second, "Art" is a vast term that includes old mater art, contemporary art and modern art. In modern art, "idea" and "theoretical contemplation" are major part of the work, not necessarily the creative process or the finished product . Modern art is a statement of self expression, thus no one can critic based upon a uniformed system. YOU CAN NOT SAY THIS PERSON'S ABSTRACT PAINTING IS BETTER THAN THAT PERSON'S ABSTRACT PAINTING. Because there is no answer to how to express one's feeling. Of course, we all have something we favor over other things--for instance, I like the works by Jackson Pollock, I also enjoy the works by Georgia o'keefe. Woluld I paint like them? Maybe if I am drunk and high one day. Nonetheless, the Bravo show is not serious about art, because they have no respect for art nor regard for artists. They pick this category only because it hasn't been overly cultivated like the "house wives". I can't bare watching one episode of "Work of art", my eyes tear seeing these young artist being misdirected, manipulated and judged by Bravo, given high hope then get kicked out because of some "televised art committee" and a model host. LEAVE THESE ARTISTS ALONE!!
