Comments on: <i>New Brow</i> at the NWFF Closes Tonight http://thesunbreak.com/2010/01/17/new-brow-at-the-nwff-closes-tonight/ Curious Georges in a conversation with Seattle Thu, 30 Jun 2011 23:14:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Tanem http://thesunbreak.com/2010/01/17/new-brow-at-the-nwff-closes-tonight/#comment-723 Tanem Fri, 02 Apr 2010 22:27:00 +0000 /2010/01/17/new-brow-at-the-nwff-closes-tonight#comment-723 Just to clarify, we did try interviewing some "High brow gallerist" on the Low Brow community. They just didn't know enough and or care about it to be included in the documentary. Artist such as Jeff Koons/Damien Hirst come at an interview price that we couldn't afford.<br/>We tried to get any one to say anything against this genre but couldn't find any one willing because Its still such a new scene. Or they just didn't know enough about it. Perhaps in 10 or 20 years when the media labels the scene or these artist become "big".<br/><br/>Also, the film is amateurish in it's creation. I'm not afraid to admit it. But I seemed to be the only to care enough to give up my time to make it. I can tell you I did learn a lot about production value. My next films will not come across as amateur. Just to clarify, we did try interviewing some “High brow gallerist” on the Low Brow community.

I liked the documentary and the trailer that was shown on "The SunBreak I A&E I Film & TV I <i> New Brow. I read the cometary, and agreed that the film was somewhat one sided because it did not include what "the Art establishment" had to say about the Art showcased by the film. However one artist spoke the truth and said that the New York art establishment is so bent on control and money that their strategy is to ignore the new brow scene and it will just go away.<br/> I believe the artists shown in the documentary will not just go away. The artists are creating an art of self expression and the integrity of their creation connects with the intrinsic integrity of the viewers who like their work.
