Art Dad Doesn't Like

Have you ever wandered around a museum with someone whose appreciation of art stops in 1900, who walks disdainfully past every piece of modern art, and who continually says things like ‘That is not a picture of anything’ or ‘I wouldn’t hang that in my house’? Join us as Lizzie provokes Dad (a.k.a Dr Harris) as she tries to broaden his artistic taste, in the hope that he will learn to like something other than a 1600 oil on canvas landscape.

44: A Rose by Any Other Name

Can peeling a potato be a work of art? Planting a tree? Putting roses in bottles in a brutalist gallery space? This week we discuss Michael Sailstorfer's installation 'To the People' at the Penman Foundation in Tehran and the artist's claims that his work harkens back to the inimitable Joseph Beuys' concept of social sculpture. Are Sailstorfer's claims legitimate, or does the emperor simply have no clothes? We discuss Greek mythology, the language of flowers, and Dad's forays into landscaping to reveal the meaning(lessness?) of this work. See images here!
