She looks like she’s levitating.
Hey hey hey, ‘Gasmii! Welcome to the Work of Art minicap for this week. That intro there? That was my moment of pop culture for the week. If you aren’t down with What’s Happening!!, you aren’t right in my book.
This week, Bayete has immunity, and he’s pleased as punch that he redeemed himself from the awfulness of week one. Don’t worry, he’s not destined for the winner’s circle for long! Michelle is worried about having been on top the past two weeks–is she destined for a fall?
Destiny or no, the artists are tasked this week with creating their own version of iconic pop culture, a la Andy Warhol. There’s the ubiquitous Campbell’s soup can, the Marilyn heads, and whatever else. I don’t know, I saw the movies and visited the museum, I just don’t remember. It’s late and I got my ass kicked at the gym. Anyway, the contestants need to do their own pop art thang.
Oh, and the winner gets a two-page spread in Entertainment Weekly magazine. Shrug, whatever. (Just kidding, they all freak out, because to an artist, exposure is everything. And an 11-million strong readership is BIG potatoes.)
Oh! And! It’s a double-elimination week. Time to shit your pants, kids!
They make art. Simon comes by to advise along the way. To some he’s like, “Cool.” To some he’s like, “Uh oh.” Some take his advice. Some don’t. Some let their art sway in the breeze of spilled paint!
Then TWO people go home, and honestly, I’m shocked (a little) at both of ‘em. The one more than the other, I guess, but still, it was a tough call. (Like many of you probably do, I determinedly state my opinion as fact when it’s time to announce winners and losers. Tonight, I was wrong. Both times.) Oh, and someone won! And here’s a hint, it wasn’t the boob shot.
So, come back in a few days when I’ve got the whole thing hashed out for ya. We’ll talk!

There were so many shots of boobs this week, and they only blurred them out at the very beginning when they were filming her taking the pics. Boobs in picture form are apparently okay, but not if they’re moving and talking. I like that piece though, and not just because I like boobs. That chick is starting to look like one to watch out for.
The winner was ‘Meh’ but the other good pieces wouldn’t have made a good feature in EW. Especially if there were boobies. I’m not upset that he won, but I don’t think he deserved it. I actually think The Sucklord had my favorite piece this week, and I haven’t been impressed by him up until now. His was fun.
When I look at the entries made by the bottom four I think they sent home the two better ones. NONE of those were good, but the two that survived were terrible. I’m really surprised by who went home because they were two of the better artists on the show. Their pieces sucked this week, but I’m still surprised.
I think the 2nd place one was pretty good. Yeah I didn’t get why they blurred the actual boobies but the picture of the boobies was OK to show. They aired enough disclaimers. I think looking at poop would be more distressing. But anyway, I think she didn’t win because I’m not sure EW would show pics of boobies either.
And I was sad to see the male loser. He was a sweetheart and had done good work. I didn’t really see what was so bad with his piece. I was like “Seriously?!” about one of the pieces that survived. Simon’s crit of it in his little roam around the workroom was, “Huh?” and it didn’t get much better when the artist revised it. That dude should have gone home IMO. At least no one cried last night. I agree Sucklord’s was pretty darn original.
Warhol actually painted 32 versions of the Campbell Soup Can, not just the one. MOCA in LA exhibited them this past summer, and when it’s just the Tomato Soup can but when they’re all lined up in a row it’s kind of hilarious and really gets to the heart of what Warhol’s genius because he cuts to the heart of consumerism and advertising at a time when there was a whole lot less of it.
And I agree with you, themiki, on basically everything. I thought of the top two that boob girl should have won but wouldn’t because of her boobs and that Sucklord should have been in the top 2 with her, but EW wouldn’t take that chance.
After last season, it was just so great to have someone take a picture of their boobs without being all dramatic about it and never saying the phrase “the male gaze”! They’re her tits, she took a picture of them, and kept on working. Brava!
