The Re-Education of Eddy Rogo

About The Re-Education of Eddy Rogo

Eddy Rogo is a wheeler and dealer in the world of art and antiques. So what happens when Eddy ventures outside his comfort zone and into the studios of young, idealistic, emerging artists? Find out in this CBC Arts digital original series.

Eddy Rogo, star of The Re-Education of Eddy Rogo, is a wheeler and dealer in the world of art and antiques. He moves millions of dollars in art every year, doing business with some of the world's most recognized and wealthiest collectors. When Eddy sees art, he sees the price tag first. So what happens when Eddy ventures away from the museum pieces he values with a practiced eye, and into the studios of young, idealistic, emerging artists?

In this CBC Arts digital production, produced by Whalley Abbey Media, Eddy will meet eight Canadian visual artists, from a sculptor who makes art out of real grenades, to an artist whose coffee spills onto her canvases, on purpose, to a taxidermist whose quirky dioramas incorporate road kill.
