I was on Mark Kostabi’s Game show “Title-This”
Posted on May 15, 2008Mark Kostobi doesn’t just make paintings. He also has a public access TV Game show dedicated to naming them called Title This.
Watching at home I had now idea what to name these pantings, but once I was on the show getting 20 dollars per tittle I was 100 percent focused on the task.
Game shows are fun. Give a points system to something and people get more engaged. A miniature version of real life. So weird.
A giant cash register blows money all over the studio audience at the end. I admit, the second time this happened I couldn’t help but leap up and grab for the money. But it felt really wrong and I started using the paddles to swat at the dollar bills in the air.
It is not often that we see “produced” media as relaxed and ordinary as our everyday life. Though this show seems strange, it is so only in the way that all of what in reality always is. Haha. I commend you for always being part of what is unmistakably remarkable, while also walking the thin line of trendy and just plain weird.
Yep, I love this show, I caught it on Blip for the first time last year - so freeform, and I think a natural extension of Kostabi’s work.Great job on being a star panellist!
