Chapter two of Ways of Looking leads us to several questions about art that aims to be entertaining:  Can a work of art can be worthwhile if you could get the same experience at a children’s playground? When curators assess contemporary artworks, are they really just assessing their monetary value? Is it enough for works of art merely to suggest questions, without giving the hint of an answer? Artworks discussed in this episode include Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Untitled (1982), Carsten Höller’s Test Site (2006-07), and Roman Ondak’s Good Feelings in Good Times (2003).  (Intro: Traveling in Your Mind (edited) by Loyalty Freak Music, from The Free Music Archive, CC0 1.0 Universal License.
