Touching the Art – Episode 1 – CATHERINE OPIE, BETTINA KOREK, JORI FINKEL

Touching the Art – Episode 2 – Postmodernism, Post-Net & the Art Market

–

There’s a new web talk show called Touching the Art which is moderated by CASEY JANE ELLISON, an American comedian and artist who becomes for the show the perfect art-world cliche – snobby, bored and falsely cool. The guests of the show (only women) discussed topics range from art and celebrity to gender politics to the art market. We’ve already caught appearances from photographer CATHERINE OPIE, artist MARY WEATHERFORD as well as New York Times critic JORI FINKEl among others.

The result is pretty funny and satirical (and yeah…entertaining), while at the same time poses actually interesting questions. Though we’re only two episodes in, but I like what I’ve seen so far.

Find out more on youtube or via http://www.ovationtv.com/touching-the-art/ (note that future episodes will coincide with and cover timely topics and events such as Miami Basel, The Armory Show, etc.).
