Artzine - Thurber Prize for American Humor
Artzine
 
 
 
We travel to NYC to cover the Thurber Prize for American Humor and meet the finalists - one who is the head writer for Late Night with David Letterman, the other the senior producer for HBO's Curb your Enthusiasm (and one of the original writing team for Saturday Night Live). We talk with them about humor writing, James Thurber and reveal the recipient of this year's award.

Cinematographer Ellen Kuras (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Blow, Swoon, Angela) discusses her art and collaborations with directors Spike Lee and Jonathan Demme - it's all a part of a conversation with the Wexner Center for the Arts' Film/Video Curator, David Filipi.

Dancing in a troupe is one challenge yet dancing all alone on stage brings in a whole new set of difficulties and rewards. We cover Columbus Dance Theater's Dancing Alone, which brings 10 different solo artists to the stage and features some of the finest dancers and choreographers in Central Ohio.

Helen Molesworth, Chief Curator of Exhibitions at the Wexner Center for the Arts gives us a personal tour of Shiny - a provocative and playful exhibition that examines our culture's love of luxury, spectacle, shiny things, and our own reflections.

And to ring in the holidays the Ohio Village Singers, the signature troupe of the Ohio Historical Society's Ohio Village, bring to life early American Christmas carols in this encore segment from 2006.
