I have no idea what happens to the images submitted with applications, but I'm sure no one has the time to go through them all. Thanks for linking to her site. She has a lot of good work. It really is too bad more artists couldn't be chosen. Anyway, I wrote about my experience at the Chicago auditions, and you can read about it here: <a href="http://tiffanygholar.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-untitled-art-project-audition.html" rel="nofollow">http://tiffanygholar.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-untitled-art-project-audition.html</a>Tiffany Gholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979768952670661700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523424069910039090.post-66482384873293944702009-07-19T11:00:45.480-05:002009-07-19T11:00:45.480-05:00My mom went to the casting yesterday in Manhattan....My mom went to the casting yesterday in Manhattan. I didn’t want her to really do this that contract they have had a lot of conditions that I felt were not in her best interest, but she had to do what she had to do for her dream. I asked her when she came back what happened, said she tried to engage the person looking at her portfolio, and he didn’t have any questions or really speak with her. She was a bit frustrated because she didn’t know what they were looking for, but I know she tried her best. If you meet her she is a very bubbly positive person, and always has a good time speaking about her art and thoughts. She said they didn’t read the application she filled out, and I know that she took her time and answered her questions thoroughly, especially since she has no formal training. I am a bit disappointed that they have the cd of her images. Will they be looking through all the people cd’s who tried out? Will they read through their answers? Is there a chance that someone in the art world will see anyone’s work that they felt wasn’t’ good enough for their show? I don’t know but I support my moms dream, and if you would like to see her works check out her web site www.taylourmishel.com<br />Thanks and good luck to all the artist who are out there making their dream happen!kwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803396884735234153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523424069910039090.post-15499105797633484102009-07-18T19:51:57.451-05:002009-07-18T19:51:57.451-05:00Dana, thanks for posting your link to your account...<b>Dana</b>, thanks for posting your link to your account of your experience on my blog. It sucks that they acted uninterested and interrupted you while you were talking. I'm glad that the reviewer I met was actually polite and acted interested, even though I was not selected either. (I was #384.) I agree with you, it will be interesting to see what the show will really look like. I might actually watch this show when it finally airs.Tiffany Gholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979768952670661700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523424069910039090.post-40671509277670754992009-07-18T15:35:00.833-05:002009-07-18T15:35:00.833-05:00Hey, I was #138 at the Chicago audition.

It's reality TV so you need to pack more than technical skill you need personality to boot. I'm sorry for your wasted time but honestly with the holier than thou tude you deserve to get shot down. Sorry reality stinks at times and pobviously you all stink at reality TV. I will shoot you a note back once I get on the show.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946353270216768209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523424069910039090.post-89970128577915822212009-07-14T14:11:49.799-05:002009-07-14T14:11:49.799-05:00I also went to the audition in L.A. both days. If...I also went to the audition in L.A. both days. If you are a serious artist, DON'T GO!<br /><br />It was a complete waste of gas and time. The 250 people they saw each day left with broken hearts and dreams of leaving their life for 3 to 5 weeks and possibly becoming an overnight success.<br /><br />The draw of having to have a passport because you know they are going someplace overseas is not enough to give away your best work to these slimy dogs. They will have access to your work for the rest of your natural life and even beyond.<br /><br />Do not give away your art! This reality show has the markings of a failure, to me. I think that SJP and her company are on a fishing expedition, matching up anyone beautiful. After all, her company has the word "pretty" in it, doesn't it? If you don't have the "look" you aren't going to be chosen. If you are over the age of 28, you will not be chosen. If you dont' have "tagging" as part of your portfolio, you will not be chosen. They DO NOT WANT ANY REPRESENTATIVE ART!!!<br /><br />In L.A. taggers are typically gang members. Why would someone want to glorify that? There may be a subculture in N.Y. where tagging is interesting. What I saw the judges choose was tired, 1940's or 50's abstract crap. What will be interesting about a show that has all men and no women? And they only have a one note, not any breadth or range of work?<br /><br />I think the whole thing was a terrific waste of time. They are on a fishing expedition and don't really care about saleable art.<br /><br />My art lives across the street from singer Neil Young. The Southeby's auctioneer told me my piece was the best at auction. They ask you in the questionaire the highest price you have sold work. Mine was $8,500. Not a lot of artists can say that. <br /><br />I have a piece that is on permanent display and is a tribute to 9/11 at the L.A County Fairgrounds. You can't get any more provenence than being on public display for something that shook the nation.<br /><br />I think the whole thing is a terrible waste of time.artist2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01403383485999630094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523424069910039090.post-22440571435317991792009-07-14T12:59:57.079-05:002009-07-14T12:59:57.079-05:00Anonymous #1: Thanks for the warning about the sho...<b>Anonymous #1</b>: Thanks for the warning about the show owning all the art you make while you're on it. I read the fine print and it did basically say that. Actually, the fine print is pretty darn scary. You are basically signing your life away. Reality TV contracts are almost Faustian.<br /><br /><b>Anonymous #2</b>: Bring it on!<br /><br /><b>Jesse</b>: Thanks for sharing your experience. From what you said, I'm really not sure now what they are looking for. They say they want emerging artists, that they want to see samples of work, and it sounds like it would have been a great chance for you to share your great talent with the world, but then they turn you away. However, I'm not sure if having raw, undeveloped talent makes a person a "loser," as you put it. Still, I'm sorry the audition didn't go the way you hoped it would.Tiffany Gholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979768952670661700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523424069910039090.post-49105095117813174752009-07-14T11:33:58.177-05:002009-07-14T11:33:58.177-05:00i auditioned in LA on sunday...

I have the same concerns as you (and also I'm a little concerned that some forgotten person in my life with a grudge would publically talk about some forgotten thing that I did in my youth) but I can't help but be intrigued. I'll probably just audition and see what happens. I assume you can always turn them down... Gotta read that application carefully.<br /><br />Also, be aware that, like Project Runway, the show will own all the art you make while there (although not the art you use for the audition)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
