  • Smart but Narrow

    Too much emphasis on money. (Who cares.) And too much emphasis on biennials and art fairs. My eyes glaze over when either of these come up. Oh yeah and spectacle is over reported as well. Get the artists back. Otherwise great!

  • Could have better range

    Significantly better on modern and contemporary art. Pre-modern? Not so much.

  • This is a great podcast on the current state of the art world — museum shows, art trends, market trends, artists both new and old. The hosts are knowledgeable, engaging and just opinionated enough. I've been listening sporadically for years and was motivated to review the podcast after the fantastic latest episode on Raphael (find it and listen). Several episode topics interest me less, but there's a big variety — just read the descriptions.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Re-Air: Arthur Jafa's Radical Theory of Readymade Art
Q: How do you view your move from cinema to the art world, and back again?
He explains that the shift wasn't a departure but a choice of contexts; the art world offered a space where his interests and methods could take root, while cinema remains a touchstone for his broader practice and future projects.
Why Are Museum Wall Texts So Bad?
Q: What do you think the structure of a label should be?
The hosts discuss using a style guide, prioritizing the artwork first, and ensuring the label supports a big idea; the conversation emphasizes a consistent, clear structure rather than diverging into lengthy artist biographies.
Here's Where the Art World Eats
Q: Maybe we start there. Let's start with Marcel because that was a huge thing at Sotheby's in the Breuer building. Talk us through that one.
Marcel represents one end of how art-adjacent dining is approached—a luxe, money-forward room designed to be a showpiece—while Oberon and Zoli push more experiential, environment-driven experiences that test how far a restaurant can operate as part of an art-institution setting.
Here's Where the Art World Eats
Q: Annie, thank you so much for coming back on The Art Angle. How are you?
I'm great and happy to be back, excited to talk about the new beat and the intersections between art and food.
Welcome to the Society of the Psyop
Q: What is the core framework that unifies your book and ideas about post-AI visual culture?
The framework centers on activation and the shift from images representing the world to images that activate or affect the world, including understanding images as machines-readable and capable of triggering real-world systems.
