One of the highlights of the 58th Venice Biennale for the chART squad was the Danishpavilion, which featured the art exhibition Heirloom, by Larissa Sansour. Seeing how itleft an impression on all of us, it is only fair we devote this episode entirely to her work.If you are a sci-fi nerd and hold Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) as thegreatest piece of filmmaking ever made (like Mara), you will most definitely loveLarissa Sansour’s work. If you don’t, fear not, for she offers smart and punchy politicalcommentary about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Wanna learn more about how sheuses sci-fi elements as allegories of real world problems and situations? Then tune inand find out!

In today’s episode, the chART squad jumps into the artsy TARDIS to travel all the way back to 1503, or perhaps 1513; definitely not after 1517. It may not be entirely clear when Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci finished working on Mona Lisa, but one thing is for certain: it is his best-known work, as well as one of the most mysterious in the history of art. Is it a portrait of Italian noblewoman woman Lisa Gherardini, or a self-portrait of a young Da Vinci? Is she smiling, is she not? And most importantly… Are her missing eyebrows the clue we need to find the location of the Holy Grail? Tune in if you want to find out!

In today’s episode, the chART squad is posing the question of whether celebrities can becontemporary artists. Don’t you dare laugh; this is an extremely serious question. Therefore, thecase study through which we will tackle this convoluted conundrum is no other than the mightyPrincess of Pop. In 2017, Britney Spears sold her first painting for 10,000 USD, which werethen donated to victims of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. The controversy was instantaneous.While her army of fans and some critics praised the piece, linking it to motifs such as familyand feminism, many others called it a childish doodle rather than an artwork. So where do youstand on this debate? Tune in and let us know!

Today, the chART squad travels back in time to one of the most tragic chapters in recenthistory. The HIV/AIDS epidemic that has swept through the globe ever since the mid-20 thcentury has been the cause of millions of deaths, and many of which were artists that had toinevitably reflect on it. From raw photographed and painted effigies of the macabre toll that thevirus takes on a human being to upbeat and sarcastic artworks that stand as a brave challenge todeath itself. Out of the many works centered on HIV/AIDS, we have selected two to discuss inthis episode: Peter Hujar’s Orgasmic Man (1969) and Robert Mapplethorpe’s Self Portrait(1988). Want to know more about how these artists tackled the subject of the virus thateventually ended their lives? Then tune in.

Today, the chART squad is torn in two by internal conflict. The reason? The latest artwork on the Fourth Plinth. The End, by Heather Phillipson, is definitely not what you would picture standing next to a commemoration of Admiral Nelson’s victories. It would be perfect if the central column in Trafalgar Square was a monument to Willy Wonka, though. Finn and Kristy argue that its shocking size and aesthetics are just what a piece of monumental art needs to leave a lasting impression in the passerby. Mara and Javier think that it brings nothing new to the table and, on top of that, it is criminally ugly. So now the question is, what side are you on?

Today, the chART squad is tasked with going through the work of the woman that turned your usual student dorm mess into a Turner Prize-winning artwork with My Bed (1999). Tracey Emin is known for taking confessional and autobiographical art to a whole new level, earning the honour of being regarded as the enfant terrible of the Young British Artists. Painting, drawing, sculpture, film, neon… you name it, she’s done it. Wanna know more about this Renaissance woman out of a Tim Burton movie? Tune into this week’s episode!

Félix González-Torres was only thirty-eight years of age when hepassed away from AIDS, but in his tragically cut short life he became an immensely influentialcontemporary artists. A member of New York-based Group Material since 1987, his minimalinstallations and sculptures tackled the consequences of the AIDS pandemic through subtle andpoetic metaphors that veiled a heartbreaking testimony about the fragility of mortality. If youwant to learn more about this visionary mind, tune in with us to take a closer look at three of hisbest works. You can’t miss it!
