Saatchi’s School Of Art

Posted by Ian Watt on November 22nd, 2009

After a week of diverse art programmes on BBC4, More 4 and Channel 4, we see a new type of art programme start tomorrow (Monday 23rd November).

BBC2 broadcasts at 9pm Saatchi’s School of Art – “the BBC and Charles Saatchi launch a nationwide search to discover the next generation of artistic talent.”

According to the BBC’s press office, http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2009/01_january/25/saatchi.shtml, “Following a selection process, just six people will be selected to attend an Art School established uniquely for them where they will develop their work under the tutelage of some of the most innovative names in the art world today.”

This reality TV show for the cultured set will be a four-part series and “is part of The Modern Beauty Season, a range of programmes coming to BBC Two and BBC Four which look at the concept of beauty in modern art.”
