While we're on the theme of fine art on television, here's some other programme almost art. The Exhibitionists is an fine art programme which those of us who alive exterior Wales volition non accept seen. (As amongst yesterday - some of the links below are accessible to anybody anywhere inwards the footing - fifty-fifty if y'all can't access iPlayer)
I came upon it accidentally when researching for the previous post Show Me the Monet - X constituent for Artists?. The programme is solely beingness broadcast inwards BBC Wales but is available for all to encounter on iPlayer (if y'all tin laissez passer the axe access iPlayer!)
The programme is the consequence of a collaboration betwixt BBC Wales together with The National Museum of Art inwards Wales, inwards Cardiff.
The programme is really odd. If yesterday was "The X Factor" for Artists, hence The Exhibitionists appears to survive "The Apprentice" for non-artists (these are the contestants)
I intend what's kickoff to draw of piece of occupation me is that the BBC is "dumbing down" fine art past times making it into a game exhibit activeness amongst all the silliness together with wasting of fourth dimension which could survive given over to existent content that this involves.
This is Phillip Moss, the Commissioning Executive for BBC Wales, explaining how The Exhibitionists came about.
The basic aims behind the programmes of opening upward the Museum of Wales inwards Cardiff, making it less intimidating together with getting novel people though its doors are all absolutely fine.
The query is - bottom draw - does it truly accept to survive a reality/game exhibit format which makes fine art to a greater extent than accessible? Are the BBC seriously maxim they lack the imagination together with inventiveness to come upward up amongst novel ways of doing that - together with accept to rely on what are becoming quite tired formats which run ameliorate inwards other spheres of interest. Just because it mightiness run for cake-baking doesn't hateful that it volition brand people rush out to fine art galleries.
I'm every bit good really puzzled, if the aim is to brand the fine art to a greater extent than accessible, why hence piddling endeavor is seat into promoting the associated websites which opened upward up the reach of fine art inwards Wales to those who picket the programme or access the programme via iPlayer. These are only non highlighted plenty on the iPlayer website.
Interestingly the tasks involved amongst the episodes to appointment are truly interesting together with a existent challenge. They assistance people sympathise to a greater extent than almost what's involved inwards exhibiting fine art to the public.
For me this is a programme which is mightiness good accept a house inwards the schedules - but solely if equal fourth dimension is devoted to a to a greater extent than in-depth together with educational approach to art.
Here are the links to the episodes on iPlayer. The OTT "blurb" comes from the BBC non me

We wanted to pick out a reality format to a programme almost art, amongst our 'Exhibitionists' beingness whittled downwards each calendar week inwards a agency that would survive really familiar to viewers of Masterchef or The Apprentice.This mightiness survive OK is in that place was surfeit of fine art on the BBC - but in that place isn't. Why doesn't he explicate why a reality exhibit format was judged to survive the best format for making fine art accessible? Just because something is pop doesn't necessarily cash inwards one's chips far appropriate. Are nosotros going to larn "Angry Birds practise Art" next?
