My Favourite Elliott Smith Song

S3 Ep10: Bunny Rogers

Listen Later
Joining us today is the visual artist, Bunny Rogers.

Bunny is a contemporary American artist that creates installation, video and sculptural works. She told us that Elliott Smith has been a big inspiration in a number of her works, sometimes consciously and other times subconsciously.

Bunny has exhibited her work at many significant art museums and organisations all around the world, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY, The Marciano Art Foundation, Los Angeles, Societe, Berlin, Louisiana Museum of Art, Denmark, Art Basel and most recently at Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria.

Excited to bring you a different take on Elliott Smith than we have done before and to cover a track we've been wanting to discuss for a while.
