Abdi won last night. Abdi can paint pictures of himself and do sculptures of himself. The three finalists had a show down last night and Abdi "explored death" by sculpting himself dead laying on the floor and by painting a picture of a dead body covered in black plastic which made the judges cry.The favorite golden boy Miles also explored death by taking a cell phone photo of a White Castle security monitor and blowing it up into abstract digital form. Then he took a nap. He has OCD.
Peregrine, the only female artist left, molded toys in wax and took a photo of two dead fawns encased in glass that she'd bought from like, some freak show place. She also included drawings of people throwing up. She called it County Fair. She served cotton candy at her show.
Sarah Jessica Parker appeared at the show and said "Oh wow!" a lot. Because nothing says real art like SJP.
I have decided I know nothing about art. I don't care anymore after watching this whole thing and now I want a paint by number set. It will show the world my disdain for...something... and elevate my creative...something. ~Scratches head~ It's all good.

I think you knew this show was going to suck.
I guess I expected more from the people they chose to be on it. I get the concept of changing the way we look at things, but, how is making an exact mold of something someone else made..umm, art? You buy a horsey, you mold a horsey..it's still the same fucking horsey and you didn't sculpt it. I guess you have to look at it and cry..that makes it art.
I guess my checkbook is art.
This show (of the few minutes I watched of two episodes) made me laugh - at myself, because I found that I was actually feeling angry at the sheer gaul of the notion that someone could be awarded "best" in a field that is so totally subjective.
This wasn't a contest of who was the best dog groomer or best hair stylist or best chef - all subjective to the judges choice - but art is an area that shouldn't be judged. Ever.
One man's Picasso is another man's velvet Elvis.
There's no accounting for taste. The arrogance of the concept of this show was unbelievable.
Shame on them all.
