ART SAFARI 3 - COMING SOON !
Award-winning documentary-maker, internationally published art critic and all round Art Geek, Ben Lewis is heading off on safari once more to find out who’s hot and why Art Safari broke the mould of Contemporary Arts Documentary when it first launched in 2003. The original 4 x 28′ series was an instant hit with viewers delivering quality profile documentary with a fresh, quirky and inquisitive approach. Series 2 followed soon after, winning the prestigious Grimme Sonderpries Kultur and New York Festvials World Bronze in 2007.ART SAFARI has since been broadcast in over 25 countries world-wide. The DVD’s are stocked in the some of the most popular art institutions, The Tate Modern, The Serpentine Gallery, Hamburger Bahnhof, Pompidou, Palais de Toyko and scores of other Museums and galleries across the world.NOW join Ben in his new ART SAFARI adventures, where he will seek once again - sometimes energetically, sometimes Heroically, sometimes incompetently and sometimes hilariously - to explore the complicated characters and unravel the complex ideas of contemporary artists. This new series will present the big theories and latest developments in contemporary art.Art Safari 1 and 2 followed the ebullient and unstoppable rise of contemporary art, 2003-8, and introduced television audiences to its new stars and celebrities - like Matthew Barney, Takashi Murakami, Maurizio Cattelan and Santiago Sierra. While the series style remains the same, this time the post boom landscape of contemporary art is radically different. Now the contemporary art bubble has burst, a new art world is beginning to take shape. But what is the shape?That is the question. . . .THIS IS THE SERIES.
