I woke up to this message from the Half Gallery, who’s owner was a judge on Work of Art: the Next Great Artist, that the 3rd place winner from the show is having an exhibition there. I have read comments that this should have been the grand prize—a gallery exhibition in New York—instead of a Museum exhibition. Maybe it doesn’t matter, maybe no one cares, and no one could predict that the Brooklyn Museum would take such flack for presenting a long format game show (a more fitting title for this brand of “reality show”) contest’s winner an exhibition—except when put in these terms. Anyway, the one contestant that seemed to be playing the game (correctly for the format) is having a show starting next Tuesday.
