Artpop Talk

Get ready to FEAST on some Artpop Talk knowledge about radical hospitality and futurist cuisine! In this episode, we are wining and dining the tartlets with the bounty of still lives and the ornamentation of the dinner table. We will question how and where we share meals and who we get to share those meals with. Considering your place at the table as a viewer and participant in the holiday, stick around to listen to our discussion on “The Last Thanks” by artist Wendy Red Star.

When I was a young boy…. I stuffed my face with turkey and watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! This episode is all things parade, starting with victory marches and Triumphal Arches and the Panathenaic Procession. Pop Culture will lend itself to parade commercialism, floats, bands, balloons, and angsty teenager fandom.

In celebration of Día de los Muertos we are joined by Dr. Cristina Cruz González to talk about the visual legacy of the holiday and the importance of the spectral within visual cultural. This episode is a haunting reminder that even though the spooky season is coming to an end, we are constantly engaging with ghosts.

In this finale of Artloween, we are joined by the very best Final Girl a horror film could ask for. Lyn Broyles is a writer and academic whose focuses include the intersection of gender and horror in film. She talks with us about the inherent queerness within the horror genre and the trope of the final girl.

Here on APT we’ve talked about fandom and we’ve talked about cults, so in this episode we’re inviting you to... come up to our lab and see what’s on the slab! This marks our second discussion in this year’s Artloween series, and we are diving into Halloween cult and camp. What makes a film a cult classic and how some of our most cherished haunted films, have a certain campiness about them? From Rocky Horror, to Jennifer’s Body we don't want to leave you in antici….pation…..!

This week we are talking about the visual history of Drag, and more specifically, our everyday consumption of it! From makeup tutorials to slang, to even a particular Disney Villain. Drag may hold a larger presence in pop than you realize. And in the complete opposite direction of drag, we’re jumping into a metaphorical pile of leaves with some fall themed art news.

This week we are throwing some white suburban woman energy into art history…(we know you all just LOVE that) because we are discussing the artist behind the Rae Dunn brand - the thing Live/Laugh/Love sign collectors can’t get enough of. We also give an updated assessment to some of last week's Met Gala looks. And in Art News, we're talking about the shimmering wrapping of Paris' Arc de Triomphe.

Did you watch The Met Gala!? We've been waiting for art history and pop-culture's biggest night for some time now... This episode is all things “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion!” Thanks to an Artpop Tart, we're also diving into the works of Anna Marie Tendler in Art News.
