Very nice video! Who is the artist at 5:23?? James actually say the name but I couldnt get it!

[jameskalm]

@leomatosuk It's Leslie Vance.

[claureic]

Thanks James. I liked Charles Ray's paintings very much. Piort Ulanski's piece at the beginning looks like a blown-up Eva Hesse...

[FattodArte]

dear james thank you for showing things that we can't see in person. So what is the reaction to Bonami work? Waiting the continuos...

[d1artbob]

Thank you for the video. I can't see the show in person. And, I like to hear your comments, to place them among the others I read--it helps with perspective.

[f0rTyLeGz]

Thanks so much James... I love your videos.

[jameskalm]

Dear viewers,

please stay tuned for parts two and three, coming to a computer  screen near you soon.

[MrWowforever]

Better than 2008 from what I see.

[StevenChandlerArtist]

maybe it's not the number of women painting, but the number of man haters that are selecting artist for these shows-haha

[DvonKron]

Great video James! (as always). When did you get the new camera?

[jameskalm]

Hey DvonKron,

I got the new camera in September, but didn't have the computer power to start editing in HD till last month. Huge files!

Loren - No longer half-assed productions. Great job!

[kidluna]

Hurray! Apparently even J Saltz liked it!

[TomHendricksMusea]

Modern art is neither - modern or art ! But seriously it is time to get art out of the NYC IVory Tower and get back to basics.

JK, you need to cover the snake oil video - conceptual art that attacks all conceptual art! Thanks.

[MrWowforever]

@TomHendricksMusea Seriously, quit treating success like a club. All of these artists worked HARD to get here. It may not appeal to you, but quit being a salesman. Nobody cares. The crap your pushing doesn't belong HERE. The 'ivory tower' is a metaphor for everyone who is simply too lazy to try what success DEMANDS. GO AWAY, please :)

[TomHendricksMusea]

No they did not work hard. They tried to fit in instead of stand out. They tried to slide by with trendy stuff instead of real solid art, and art work. There was nothing new or outstanding here. No innovation. The new Post Modern Art, that should replace this derivative art, has at least 10 reasons why this is not good art in one of its manifestos. Check out my video series - five doors to the art revolution.

@TomHendricksMusea spam

[IzzyIsou]

You're the epitome of the modern art lover: too scared to even believe that much of modern art is complete crap. You're scared to face truths - and that's something art should NOT be about. You want to accept everything, but in doing so you accept much that is crap. P.T. Barnum was right.

[MrWowforever]

yawn

[IzzyIsou]

Yawn? Yep, exactly my reaction to so much of your beloved "post-modern" ironic art. Duchamp must be rolling in his grave.

[MrWowforever]

you seem overly concerned with something you obviously despise.....yawn

[calebengler]

Lots of people "worked hard" to produce and distribute the new Lindsay Lohan album. Lots of people "worked hard" to put George W. Bush into office. Working hard doesnt mean that something of value will automatically come out of it. Watch "Hearts of Darkness", a documentary that explores what Coppola was willing to do to make "Apocalypse Now". Then tell me, would any of the artists in this Biennial be willing to die for their art?

[MrWowforever]

were talking museums, its hard to get in. this is not a film site.Lindsay Lohan is not museum worthy. Nor Bush. artists want long lives like Matisse:)

[IzzyIsou]

There's more grace, beauty and introspection in that African's singer's music you filmed in the subway than in all the pretentious, sensationalist and boring "art" work that comes later.

[MrWowforever]

@IzzyIsou boo.

[MrWowforever]

@IzzyIsou Don't you think it's pretentious to dismiss the work of all these artists so gratuitously :)

[MrWowforever]

thanks mr kalm :) yay! Richard Aldrich

[Moonsabie]

did not like that first part extremely retro its nice to see classics but that looks like a university museums collection
