The Art World: What If...?! with Pope.L


Listen Later

What if we made more mess? What if we could sit with discomfort? This time Charlotte Burns talks to one of her heroes, the artist Pope.L. Probably best known for his public performance art including his legendary crawls, Pope.L has risked his own safety for his work — and he isn't finished yet.
