While art month might be (thankfully) over at AT, for those of you who have the Sundance channel we suggest checking out their series called Iconoclasts.
Last night we saw ex-Gucci heartthrob Tom Ford interview the controversial artist Jeff Koons in his NYC studio (when did he get so old?!).
We are not really fans of Koons, per se, but it is a fascinating watch. Koons clearly embodies all of the ideas of the conceptual artist. Watching him explain his art is a real treat and to be honest, seeing all of his work does impress... okay, we do love those huge balloon dogs made of steel.
BTY, Nothing to do with design, but while your at Sundance channel check out Kath and Kim, a wickedly funny show from Australia. Hysterical. the funniest show we've seen in forever.

Koons. Not. But Ford could interview a dead flower and I'd enjoy it. Sorry, but whatever "it" is, he has it.
I think I caught the tail end of this one day. Koon's studio consists of a bunch of artists who he basically assigns to create the work he "conceptualizes" right?
I'm sorry, but I don't call that art...I call that delegation. If he did that stuff HIMSELF, then maybe I'll take it seriously. But by employing young artists to do it for him, I find that incredibly lame.
