Made-Up with Danny Volk
Tender conceptual artist Danny Volk interviews artists while they paint his face. The camera tracks the interview’s subject with a final reveal of their makeup concoctions on their host-conversant’s face at the end of each episode. Volk’s engrossing interviews in artists’ studios sit pleasantly at a crossroads between art criticism and something campy like gracefully aging club kid James St. James’ cosmetics-themed web channel “Transformations.”
