Buh-bye Erik...you sore loser.
So, things got interesting last night on Bravo TV’s Work Of Art. A team challenge. Team challenges always go awry at some point, and personalities and conflicts intensify. I’ve got mixed feelings about a team art project - how often do they really happen in real life outside of a sought-after collaboration?

This is one of my other favorite pieces (there are four total) called Plan Block B by malaysian artist Chris Chong Chan Fui.
In “BLOCK B,” (2008), a motionless camera watches night and day as dramas unfold on the various floors of a massive apartment complex in Malaysia. Chong captures this home to Indian expatriates working on temporary contracts, as if it is a documentary, with no...
