27-year-old artist Lana Newstrom says she is the first artist in the world to create invisible "art."  In this documentary we traveled to her empty studio to learn more about Lana and her unusual  artistic process.

 

"Art is about imagination and that is what my work demands of the people interacting with it. You have to imagine a painting or sculpture is in front of you," says Newstrom. 

Paul Rooney, Lana's agent, believes she might be the greatest artist alive working today: "When she describes what you can't see, you begin to realize why one of her invisible works can fetch upwards of a million dollars." said Rooney.

 

Honestly....her agent is awesome!

Pretty sure you're right. I wasn't going to listen to the podcast, and the text was very believable with what I believe is the level of stupid we've come to expect in the world.

Just last night people in the DC Metro area paid many hundreds of thousands of dollars to gather in one place thinking they were going to watch a professional football team.

Well, strictly speaking, they did see one.

 

Just not two.

I think that's satire as well.  Surely people wouldn't really do that.

Steven Wright did this already many years ago: "I am getting into abstract painting. Real abstract -- no brush, no canvas, I just think about it."
