This week on Spill The Art Tea, Katherine Klimitas joins us for a lineup that swings from true-crime cinema to textile history to conceptual fruit nonsense and a fish species that has apparently been ignoring men for 100,000 years.

We’re talking about the Louvre jewel robbery getting the film treatment with Romain Gavras, Frank Stella’s collection of Diné textiles going on public display, claims around lithium and Alzheimer’s prevention, the latest theft of Maurizio Cattelan’s banana at the Centre Pompidou-Metz, and the Amazon molly — an all-female fish whose genetics keep baffling scientists. It’s crime, craft, brain chemistry, conceptual art, and accidental feminist marine mythology in one episode.  

Stories this week include:
