This second sold-out live show of The Object podcast was recorded with an enthusiastic audience at the Minneapolis Institute of Art on May 11, 2025—Salvador Dalí's birthday, with our special guest: musician and writer Dessa. Quizzes, performances, storytelling, curator conversation—it's all here, all about Dalí, Surrealism, wit in art, and of course the creation of his famous (possibly functional?) lobster phones.
A big thank you to Dessa, Mia's events and A/V teams, and Mia curators Galina Olmsted and Max Bryant. See one of the lobster phones in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and learn more about Dessa's work not involving plasticized sea creatures. Watch for more live shows to come and new regular episodes every month.
