Art Judgement Show

The Art Judgement Show is a television talk show that asks the question: How does one judge art? Modeling himself on chat-show hosts like Oprah and Rickie Lake, art historian Boris Groys discusses with a group of students whether art still has any relevance today, whether it is significantly different from commercial pursuits such as advertising, design and popular music, and what criteria should be used to evaluate it. Although the issues raised, relating to language, taste, art discourse, and philosophy, are often relegated to a purely academic field, TV lends itself well to such culturally relevant questions. Just as Socrates did in the market square, Groys brings fascinating philosophical conversation in an accessible form to the general public.Groys, Boris is the author of 'Art Judgement Show', published 2003 under ISBN 9789071122019 and ISBN 9071122018.
