Ready for an Artpop RANT?! In this episode we’re ranting about some of the art that we actually don’t like so much. From Gilmore Girls and Kiki Smith to Italian Futurism and their “original” movement. We’re asking questions like: why aren’t we allowed to say we don’t like a work of art? What are the benefits of art historical critique? And how could art education benefit from embracing hating on some art?

Welcome back to Artpop Talk! This episode is all things Olympic! Starting with chariot racing competitions in the Byzantine Empire, history will lend itself well when looking at the politicization of sports entertainment and athletes, both past and present. Diving into the visuals from our current Olympic season, we talk about clothing contacts from Skims to Ralph Lauren, Olympic architecture, and its repercussions on human displacement.

This week's Artpop BARK comes with a very esteemed guest, Dr. Elisabeth Green! Dr. Green is a veterinarian working in emergency medicine, and happens to be Bianca’s bestie. Elisa sits down with Bianca to discuss all things animal! We look at the history of animal portraiture, and how the pop-visual culture of animals impacts those working in a scientific field.

This week, we're talking “Performative Pride!” While LGBTQ+ programming in museums is essential, sometimes artistic spaces fall into the same trap of performative Pride--similar to what we see in many commercial Pride campaigns. We play a little game inspired by a TikTok that critiques this year’s pride merch and then discuss museums’ role in Pride.
