Art imitates reality TV


Recommended Posts

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Three authors are living in boxes in a New York art gallery for a month, on display to the public as they each try to write a novel in what has been likened to the publishing world's equivalent of reality TV.

The art project called "Novel: A Living Installation" is a 30 day literary experiment that The New York Times has already denounced for "trivializing the nature of writing."

Morgan Meis who devised the project freely admits "there's a gimmicky side" to it, but he says there's no shame in being compared to reality television. "There's a certain attitude of art to popular culture that's pretty adversarial and I don't take it that way," he said.
