Season 1, Episode 6: Post Modern

When the thirteen year old  son of a potential client challenges Jim to explain the meaning and importance of Post-Modern art, Jim explains fatalistic, idiosyncratic, post-apocolyptic malaise… alien glitter ironic… oatmeal existentialism.  In other words, if your mom buys it? There’s $10 in it for you!

    Jim,
    Keep ‘em coming! Each segment is as humorous as the one before.
    I’m curious; have you changed the cord on your headset?

    We don’t have to teach kids anything… we are all the same from the beginning to
    the end. That was priceless, at any price.

    hysterical, laughed at all episodes, laughed all night, wrote emails to our gallery staff and told everyone they had to watch. Maybe you don’t have to be an art dealer to think these are so darn great…..but we can really appreciate the absurdity. susan

    Someone like Bravo needs to pick this up and turn it into a series. Really funny.

    Brilliant! Best thing I have come across in awhile. So nice to find a light hearted humorous take on the sometimes ridiculous Art world. I can’t get enough and agree with previous post this could easily be a cable series. Don’t stop, and don’t change a thing!
