Untitled Art Project Try outs New York Part II

James Kalm returns to Greenwich Villages White Columns on Horatio Street to wrap up this investigative report on Untitled Art Project. Just what is the reality of reality TV? Hundreds of artists from across North America waited in the late July heat for their chance at fifteen minutes of fame. Viewers are treated with glimpses of works varying from straight oil paintings to wind up miniature sculptures and rustic furniture made from maple-root and sandstone. These artists represent an eclectic cross section of Americas creative grass roots.

Chantel was lovely but why were most of the zombies in line so vacant? and who says you can't film what you want on the streets of new york? go james!

I am sure Warhol would have stood in that line...

the total and final enslavement of the art media:) Exploiting the poor starving artist's and making gimmicks out of the last thing that hasn't been fully controlled and exploited yet.

gee, James is in love with the red-head art-girl...

Yeah, I was on the line......thanks for the video, this helps put the experience in perspective. I think most of the artists were misguided thinking that somehow a television audience would get their work, like the young woman with the sculpture.....this work is sensitive and subtle, which I think precludes a mass audience appeal. I thought we all should just have an outdoor art show right there, funny how we all seemed to forget why we were making art just to be "selected"
