COMING UP:

Season 2 Episode 5: NY Times
November 12 @ 5e/2p

The artists are invited to see where one of the most recognized and respected publications in the world is created, the Old Gray Lady herself, The New York Times! For their next challenge, the artists must rummage through the bins of newspaper to find a headline or human-interest story that strikes a cord with them. They must then create a piece that tells the story that they chose. Further, the piece must also incorporate some physical elements of the iconic New York Times paper. For their efforts, the winning artist will have their piece hung at the NY Times and instead of immunity they'll receive $25,000!

Season 2 Episode 6: Street Dealerss
November 19 @ 5e/2p

The artists see a Brooklyn street artist installing a massive image on the side of the building! China and the artists explain the history of street art starting with graffiti in NYC in the 1970s and now reaching all the way to a curated show at the MoCA in LA. The artists' next challenge involves leaving their mark on the city with a piece of art that embodies the subversion of street art. Each artist will grab spray cans that will pair them up into teams of two and they decide amongst public spaces in DUMBO where they'll make their mark. The teams work through the day and install their art under the cover of night to be revealed to the public and the judges at dawn.

Season 2 Episode 3: Pop Icons

The artists discover a line of soup cans which leads them to the holy grail of POP ART... Warhol's Campbell's soup painting! It's time for: POP ART. Warhol summed up a generation of consumerism and launched the POP art movement with a painting of a Campbell's soup can. For this challenge, the artists must create a piece of POP art that captures the popular culture of our time, as affectively as Andy Warhol. Tackling celebrity culture, music, or reality TV are all fair game. The winner of this challenge will get their artwork featured in a full page spread in Entertainment Weekly along with an interview, but sadly two people will be going home.

Episode 4: Back to School

The artists' studio has been transformed into a kids' art classroom. Confused, artists walk over to their stations and introduce themselves to the mini artists. As the artists bond with their kids, they are surprised with a visit from Sarah Jessica Parker. SJP explains that she's on the President's Committee of the Arts and Humanities, whose goal is to put art in the hands of young kids to help build their creativity and academic potential. In the spirit of youthful imagination, artists are challenged to create a piece inspired by the kid's original artwork. The artwork will then be displayed the following day next to the original child's art that inspired it.
