The Bad Art Show
The Champagne of Beers of Art Shows
Three Days. Three Events.
Night 1: Gallery opening, judging, talent-less show
Day 2: Gallery tours by local improv comedians
Night 3: Performance showcase and live art auction.
What makes art “bad”? What happens when we try to make the worst art possible?
These are the foundational questions of The Bad Art Show. I came up with the concept then, with a small team of collaborators, created, marketed, coordinated, produced, and executed a three-day celebration of our worst effort. This is the most fun I’ve ever had on a project; it is truly my ugly baby. I learned a lot, I accomplished a lot, I fell down in front of a crowd of people while performing a roller-dance to “Jump” by Van Halen.
I can’t believe I’m putting these videos in my portfolio. Hire me?
Can artists be friends? They did. #Part1
Make BANNED art? This post got removed from Instagram and is arguably the least offensive one we made.
In the exciting conclusion of the Bad Art Saga, our heroes take their work to @thirdspace_collective to turn it in before the June 7th deadline. This is assuming they already filled out an entry form online or got one in-person and filled it out in a deleted scene. And sometimes it's the adventures we have along the way.
