Episode 66: MONA: A Museum Or Something
Sometimes we talk about some of the most interesting artists. And sometimes we discuss captivating architecture. But today, my friends, we’re doing something... Different. We’re looking at both of these things as if we didn’t care about these things. And, doubly so, we’re going to do our first museum deep dive! Join us as we talk about the Museum of Old and New Art! Join us as we discuss the unique experience of rating art in terms of “love” or “hate”, contemplate betting on horse races to get rich quick, listen to Elene be horrified at the idea of a man’s job being living artwork, and celebrate accessible art to local communities.
