Artpop Talk

This Artpop Talk is all about the British Royals! Starting with The Crown Jewels and Poltimore Tiara, we examine and discuss the whereabouts of these royal objects. Taking it back to King Henry the VIII we look at the evolution of royal power and propaganda portraits to the transparent and intimate nature of photography in various images of Princess Margaret. Keep listening for a discussion on the royalist of all pop-culture topics, Netflix’s The Crown!

We are taking a BITE out of Bianca’s thesis on Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party. We define Ornamental Theory, discuss the debated topic of the use of biological essentialism, and address the agency that decorative objects possess. We end with a talk about John Singer Sargent's The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit.

Howdy Y’all! This week we have an Artpop Talk with artist Dan Lynh Pham! Join us as we discuss Pham’s work, which focuses on her ongoing fascination with her identity, socialization, and the construction of culture. She aims to redefine what it means to be an Asian American woman.

In art news this week we also talk about the two-year closure of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and the firing of of 27 employees from the National Gallery.

In this week's episode we talk about some history of protest art! We start with the 1968 "I Am a Man" protest signs that were used during the Memphis sanitation strike. How have similar signs and the same phrase been used by contemporary artists and activists? We then talk about the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, in relation to the work of Tulsa artist Crystal Z Campbell. Finally we look at the protest and street art of Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, an artist originally from Oklahoma who has recently done work on Spike Lee's Netflix series, "She's Gotta Have It."

In this week's episode we sit down with two certified nerds to talk about all things nerd culture, and how that ties into art history. We ask them what it means for "nerdy things" to enter mainstream spaces, what does cancel culture look like in nerdy content, and what does character design mean for promoting a certain type of visual trope? You can listen to their podcast here! Find them at Wooper and Nebula's Nerdtastic Galaxy.
