In this episode of Art Smack, Hilde grapples with their own artistic identity while offering a vivid commentary on the rapidly changing art world. Struggling with doubts about continuing their podcast, they discuss an upcoming episode featuring Taylor Morrison, whom they liken to a compassionate, insightful contemporary art critic. The host emphasizes the transformative power of genuine engagement with art, contrasting it with the commodification and market-driven aspects prevalent today. As they critically reflect on industry shifts, such as Tim Blum closing his gallery due to disillusionment, they predict a future where the dematerialization of art and experiential engagements dominate. All of this unfolds during a rambling thrift store adventure in Georgia, peppered with personal anecdotes and reflections on the commercialization, accessibility, and the future of art.
