I'm sure Bravo is clambering for new material since one of their most successful shows (PRunway) is going to Lifetime. But I'm not so convinced that the reality show format + artwork = success. Yes, you can argue that fashion is art, but there are some really objective ways to, at the very least, weed out the designs that don't work - for example, fit on the model, quality of workmanship (stitching, etc.). And with Top Design, you can at least say that a living area is ugly and uncomfortable. But some art is SUPPOSED to make you uncomfortable, and can't really be judged on aesthetics alone.
So, anyway. What say you? :shrug:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i1da5db18eb0203bb77a874ce0dc791a4Sarah Jessica Parker's art competition reality show has found a home at Bravo.
The network has picked up "American Artist," from Parker's Pretty Matches production company and wunderkin producers Magical Elves, as part of its development slate. Bravo is expected to announce the deal Sunday at the Television Critics Assn. press tour.
The hourlong show has been described by the Elves team of Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz as a "Project Runway"-style competition series that takes on the art world. Aspiring artists compete to produce various styles of artwork (painting, sculpting, etc.), which is then judged by a panel of experts. The network declined to comment.
