Whereas Hoops: Lyndon Barrois Jr.


Listen Later

John and Noah talk to Lyndon Barrois Jr., Assistant Professor of Art at Carnegie Mellon University and a visual artist who reconfigures the language of print, design, and popular culture in order to investigate underlying ideology, ethics, and conceptions of identity. We discuss Lyndon's "Of Color" exhibition for the 2016 Great Rivers Biennial at CAM St. Louis, what it's like to put an asphalt basketball court inside an art museum, noticing the lack of hoops in Forest Park, being an NBA fan today, and how artistic practice can function in the fight for social justice.
