This week on the Forrcast, Forrest gets to have a chat with painter Gina Altadonna. We talk about representing the masks we wear in a subtle yet gruesome way, near death experiences, and the age of social media. It's a really great conversation that is definitely deserving of a part two somewhere in the future!

The 15 minute this week begins with a bit of a bummer as right after we praised Jasper Johns and his new career retrospective, he's run into a bit of a plagiarism scandal. There's also a big art story making its rounds. It's apparently an activist piece, yet it's two blank canvases, so... that may be a bit of a stretch. But let's chat about it. The primary source articles are linked below.
