ArtStars* host Nadja Sayej

Tired of ArtSpeak* pyramids and post-modern mummies? Join the club.There are 7 Unsolved Mysteries of the Art World and ArtStars* unveils them all this summer.

The ArtStars* Odyssey is a new world tour that will bluster through the map to expose what is obsolete in the art world and why you should stay tuned for the Toronto vlog you love to hate.

Stick around after for an ArtStars* pop quiz with prizes! How hardcore a fan are you?

Nadja Sayej is against pretentious ArtSpeak* as well as long and complicated bios. She is the host of ArtStars* – “TMZ for the art scene” – a legendary You Tube reality TV show which has garnered a cult following for her Gonzo, balls-out approach to the white box. Nadja has been called “Jeannie Beker of the art world,” by Eye Weekly, “a gonzo skewering of sanctified art pretense” by the Toronto Star and “center stage in Toronto” by Art in America.

A pioneer of the internet TV revolution, Nadja has stuck the ArtStars* mic in the famous faces of Douglas Coupland, Bruce La Bruce, Peaches, Robert Gober and even got naked for Richard Kern (but didn’t get paid for it). Redefining the role of the art critic, her reporting and criticism has blazed through the pages of the Globe and Mail and The New York Times, C magazine, artUS and Border Crossings but still can’t find post-modernism in the dictionary.
