In today's episode, we are recapping the 2021 Golden Globes. We're working through some thoughts on the latest award ceremony, talking less about analyzing skits and celebrity cameos...and more about the corruption within the organization that gives the Golden Globe awards and what that means for film and art history. We also go over a lot of pop and art news, from Emmanuel Acho hosting the Bachelor's After the Final Rose to a new inscription found on Edvard Munch’s famous Scream.

This week,  we are asking the question “could your kid do that?” in the hopes of challenging the phrase... “my kid could do that.” Gianna offers her perspective as a museum educator as to why this comment persists within a misunderstood art world and how it can be detrimental when trying to foster creativity and artful engagement for our young people. We discuss the perpetuated stigma around this well-known comment when it comes to works from the ab-ex, dada, and minimalist movements and use this topic to critique the public’s suspicion behind North West’s landscape painting.

After copious amounts of Bernie memes were created on Inauguration Day, we thought it was time to dive into art and the internet. This week, we're talking about the origins of memes, GIFs, and TikToks, and how all three mediums have direct ties to art history. Were artists like Duchamp and Man Ray the original meme makers? And do artists like Jenner Holzer and Barbara Kruger work in memes? After the GameStop news broke, we're also discussing the implications big money has on small creators.

This week we discuss the history of previous plague art versus contemporary works and experiences we are seeing in the midst of the Covid pandemic.

In this week’s artpop talk, we sit down with Olivia Huffstetter, a doctoral candidate in art education. We talk about how Olivia is integrating art history and technology in the classroom, and how educators can make use of social media to teach visual culture and social justice.
