Preview of ARTSTAR at Museum of the Moving Image

The new “art-reality” TV series ARTSTAR attempts to do for the art world what other shows have done for pop singing, fashion design, and filmmaking. ARTSTAR offers an intriguing, tense, and sometimes hilarious look at what it takes to make it as an artist in New York.

Premiering June 1, 2006 on GALLERY HD, part of the VOOM collection of high-definition television channels on The Dish Network, ARTSTAR challenges eight aspiring artists to impress leading gallery owner and art impresario Jeffrey Deitch and a team of top critics, collectors, curators and artists. The ultimate goal: to be named the next ARTSTAR and be selected for a solo exhibit at Deitch's SoHo gallery.
