SERIES DESCRIPTION
Each & Every One of You (EEOOY) is a mock TV show pilot that teaches ordinary people how to make contemporary installation art. If these words strike fear into your heart or make you cringe with memories of seeing contemporary art and wondering what the it was all about, this show is for you!
Inspired by the fifties, celebrity art instructor Jon Gnagy who taught thousands of pioneer NBC TV viewers how to draw hokie landscapes. EEOOY host Andy Jenny show how fun and easy it can be to make contemporary art using his Four Installation Art Directives™.
EEOOY is a sincere but irreverent 1980’s-cable-TV-style show written and acted by ex-art critic Don Goodes. Unlike any other show on the subject, it embraces rather than tries to sidestep a central paradox: contemporary art is simultaneously profoundly significant and completely irrelevant. The show is funny and educational. Where ever EEOOY has been shown, in art galleries, museums and on cable TV in Canada, the US and Spain, it has become a cult-classic.
Two 30 minute pilots that were co-produced at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Alberta Canada in the late nineties, as part of the Pop Sub n’Mass Culture Residency.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION
THE WEIRDNESS INSTALLATION EPISODE is a madcap creation involving a dirty old stuffed dog, the wanton scattering of lint and much more. Anne Marie (Anne Marie Léger) is there with viewer letters. As always, the critic (Caterina Pizanias) drops by to interpret Andy’s latest creation. And, as a bonus, you’ll visit the Art Shopping Channel (hosted by Lyle Ashton Harris and Anne Davis Mulford). Original soundtrack by Pierre Allard and Michel Gionet.

Ben Lewis’s new documentary ‘The Great Contemporary Art Bubble’ You can now buy this film on DVD from my website www.benlewis.tv
It investigates the reasons behind the boom and bust of contemporary art.
The Great Contemporary Art Bubble
BBC Four. Monday 18th May. 9.00pm.
The last five years have seen an unprecedented craze for contemporary art. Contemporary art prices rose by an average of 800% while works by Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon and Mark Rothko sold for record-breaking prices of £30 million plus.
Art critic and film-maker Ben Lewis spent 2008 following the contemporary art market; travelling to art fairs, auctions, museums and the offices and homes of billionaire art collectors. He spoke to dealers, auctioneers, gallery-owners, art market analysts and art collectors trying to find out the reasons behind the greatest rise in the value of art in history.
He says: I didnt like what was happening in the contemporary art marketMuch of the art was mass produced, repetitive and commercial. Collectors bought it for investment and stored vast amounts of it in warehousesAnd the special privileges our society gave to art and artists were being exploited by some of the worlds richest people to make yet more money.
Everywhere Ben went he was told the contemporary art boom would go on forever fuelled by a new passion for art from the worlds super-rich. But he found other reasons for the boom unusual market practices, speculation, secrecy and tax breaks involving the whole art world.
It all climaxed on September 15th 2008 when Damien Hirst sold over £70 million of his art in one day. On that same day Wall Street bank Lehman Brothers collapsed triggered turmoil in global financial markets. One month later the art market crashed dropping by 40% in November 2008 and 75% by February 2009. It is still falling today.
Ben says: The contemporary art market had a speculative dynamic of its own thats why it kept on going while other markets crashed. Great works of art are still being made todaybut the Great Contemporary Art Bubble will surely go down in history as the epitome of the vanity and folly of our age.
