Since the Bravo Channel has done so well with Top Chef and Project Runway they've decided to follow the template with the next obvious group: artists. I don't blame them, people love to watch creatives under pressure and the cool stuff they come up with and since "creatives" are the new black this year I can't say I'm surprised.
The first red flag was when I saw that Sarah Jessica Parker's production company had a hand in this. Ummmm, this reminds me in a lot of ways of the whole MTV and Behance Network thing. It's not that I won't watch it, it's just that I hate that the people at Bravo will be choosing "The Next Best American Artist" or whatever they'll call it. Also, I don't think Sarah Jessica Parker has any business with new artists (no offense to Sex and The City, that was a good fit for her).
The NEXT big red flag was when I saw some of the questions they asked on the application (via AnimalNewYork):
Have a girlfriend?
Have a boyfriend?
Do you have any rules you live by?
What are your feelings about the relationship between the commercial and art worlds? For instance, what if a branded corporation wanted to use your art in their advertising; discuss your perspective.
Describe your most embarrassing moment… (And/or describe what you wish were your most embarrassing moment.)
What makes you nervous?
I wish that people weren't trying to make The Real World out of the art world. It's too bad that these artists won't get this great opportunity by being....ahem..... a good artist.
