The AFC Work of Art Supplementary Program Guide

by Art Fag City on June 8, 2010 · 86 comments



Who’s excited about the premiere of Bravo’s newest reality show Work of Art? The contest pits 15 artists against one another for a prize of $100,000 and a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum. It airs tomorrow at 11, and here at AFC we can’t wait!

Naturally we’ve been doing a bit of research on the contestants, and have found Bravo’s art bios aren’t answering all our questions. What is the pre-existing art world credibility of their contestants? How good is their art? How will their personalities effect the show? We can only speculate on the latter, but we’ve put together our own custom biographies evaluating each contestants “cred” by providing work evaluations, career highlights, character assessments, and of course typecast names. Click on the images below for each contestant’s write up!

Miles Mendenhall - Token OCD Guy Judith Braun – The Sage Ryan Shultz – Hipster Lifestyle Artist
Mark Velasquez – Mr. Creepy Nice Guy Nao Bustamante - The Provocateur Erik Johnson – The Untrained Artist
Jaime Lynn Henderson – The Boyfriend Obsessed Christian Peregrine Honig – The New Age Consumer Trong Nguyen – The Robot
Jaclyn Santos – Post Feminist Wanna-be John Parot – Token Gay Guy Amanda Williams – The Professor
Abdi Farah – The Christian Nicole Nadeau – The Girl Who Starts Random Dance Parties at Bars

    After viewing tonight’s episode, I can assure everyone that it will provide much-needed comic relief for the art world—and if you can’t figure out who’s the first to get bum-rushed off the island in say, two minutes, I heartily recommend a trip to Lenscrafters. Also, found this YouTube of the babelicious, if post-feminist, Ms Santos endorsing her dentist. As they say, let a smile be your umbrella: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryOD9zCNut0

    Come on, this PONGRATZ, this was way more entertaining than Celebrity Apprentice. Clown Palette on Easel Guy could very well be the next Bob Ross.

    There is a typo. “Losing site” should be “losing sight”

    I do that one all the time… too much talking about websights.

    Get excited for episode 2 tonight at 10 EST! The drama WILL begin to unfold. I can say that, after seeing myself reduced to about three pitiful soundbites last episode, my HOPE is that the editing will begin to showcase the many thoughtful conversations we had amongst each other both with the judges and with each other. This show will be a blast to watch as long as all of you remember first and foremost: it is a REALITY TV SHOW first…an art-ish show second. It is extremely edited to tell specific, easy-to-digest, cookie-cutter stories about each of us. Of course we all KNOW that…but we often forget what a miniscule snippet we’re seeing about a contestant. For a full length of my reaction to Episode 1, please visit http://jaimelynnhenderson.com/#/blog/4541630472. Have fun tonight! Remember, it starts at 10 instead of 11!
