Hello everyone!
IFC network released a new trailer for Documentary Now! episode “Waiting for the artist” starring Cate Blanchett and Fred Armisen.
Waiting for the Artist” is a parody of “Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present” written by Seth Meyers and has Cate playing an artist called Izabella Barta. According to a recent Vox article:
In Documentary Now!’s version, which airs on March 6, Cate Blanchett plays an Abramovic-like character named Izabella Barta, and the result is as close to straight-up satire as the show ever gets, probably because the contemporary art world presents plenty to satirize. Instead of sticking to the confines of the original film, Documentary Now! constructs a winking acknowledgment of the complicated gender roles in the art world, with Armisen playing Barta’s “bad boy” ex-partner, who gets his due.

Episode is set to air next week, March 06, Wed 11 pm on IFC. Stay tuned!!
