Suffering from Artism

We're talking about giant metal sculptures that look like Balloon Dogs this week. What's the deal with this guy? We really can't tell if he's serious or not.

The name alone tells you this piece belongs on our podcast. It's a tiger shark in formaldehyde. We also talk a bit out A Thousand Years, where Hirst displayed a cow's head covered with maggots and flies.

Are urinals art? Maybe? That's what we're talking about this week! Marcel DuChamp's Fountain.

What is it? Who put it there? Who removed it? Why does anyone care about this hunk of metal in the Utah desert? Or California? Or Romania? It's the monolith!

Did you know Andy Warhol had some pieces where he just had people pee on canvases? Well, now you do! Today we are joined by our friends Abby and Chad. Abby is a professional watercolor artist and Chad is an LPN, which comes in handy for our new segment: Should This Person See a Doctor? 

Enjoy!

In this episode we talk about a ... sculpture? Installation? Um, whatever it is, it's a bunch of pink fabric wrapped around an entire island. Welcome to the work of Christo and Jeanne Claude!

In this episode we talk about the guy who inspired this podcast: Mark Rothko. More specifically, we talk about his color field painting Red, Yellow, Orange. What is the deal with those giant paintings that don't seem to be ... of anything?

As a side note, this one took a few tries. It was going to be our first podcast, but then we had some issues with the recording. So, here it is with some parts re-recorded. Enjoy!

In this episode we discuss the sad, bizarre life of Amedeo Modigliani and the creepy painting he made of his friend, Max Jacob. Does it involve Modigliani trying to hide his tuberculosis by partying so hard his friends wouldn't notice the difference between his hangover and TB? Yes. Yes, it does.

In this episode we discuss Piss Christ by Andres Serrano. Who would have thought dunking Jesus in a jar of urine could be offensive? It turns out that behind the obvious first impression caused by this piece is a fascinating artist and body of work that involves a lot of other ... bodily fluids. Seriously, though, there's more here than meets the eye.
