For the final episode of season 1, Zach shares artist Jeffrey Gibson who creates a multidisciplinary and multidimensional exhibition called, "The Space In Which To Place Me," for the United States pavillion at the 60th Venice Biennale Art Exhibition this year.

Zach had the chance to see the exhibition in person, a celebration of traditional indigenous materials and culture with a modern twist. As an indigenous and queer artist, Gibson incorporates themes of identity, democracy, tradition, and what it means to evolve as a culture and people through time.

On display through November 24th, 2024, if you can make it to Venice, it's worth the trip! If not, check out our Instagram for more - and the official exhibition website for detailed images and descriptions.

Thanks for joining us for season 1! You've been everything a great audience could be. See you around the corner.

Zach heads to Venice for the Biennale and an epic art tour, Claire talks about the Order of the Third Bird, and season 1 starts to wind down with our final espisode coming up!

This episode’s work of art was Claire’s pick, by her perhaps all-time favorite artist, Sandy Skoglund, called "Fox Games" (1989). Skoglund is an American born installation artist and photographer, currently teaching at Rutgers University while actively creating and exhibiting around the world.

Her Installation Art delights lovers of Pop Art and Surrealism with colorful and clever commentary. Creatures and treats invade the mundane worlds as if a brightly colored plague has infected the space. We are left wondering if this abundance is a delight, or a threat! One thing the viewer knows for sure: you simply can't look away.

Some favorite Installations discussed in the podcast include "Radiactive Cats," 1980, "Fox Games," 1989, "The Wild Inside" (1989), and "Cocktail Party," 1992.
