"Artists Commercials (David Maroto)" by Trong G. Nguyen

"Artists Commercials" is a series of video commercials depicting real artists in their studios promoting themselves, as in actual television spots. Directed and scripted by Nguyen, the artists deliver irreverent and sarcastic monologues that toe the line between truth and fiction, serving as a colorful analysis of the economy, art market, identity, party politics, and all else under the sun.

Like Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists, Nguyens commercials are his own embellished, historical accounts of the art and artists of his time.
