Host Betsy Kim discussed culture wars and arts funding, in the context of current theatre. Guests included Garth Evans, a British sculptor with an international reputation, whose work is in the collections of major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, Tate Gallery, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. He also has had solo exhibitions at museums such at the Yale Center for British Art, and has taught art at the Royal College and Yale University. On the phone, John Van Ness Philip and JC Sullivan, actors in New York City, joined the conversation. They are performing a play written by Garth Evans and Leila Philip about a sculpture Evans created, made from recordings of people’s reactions to this sculpture.
