Art Dirt: The Andy Warhol Diaries & jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy

William Sarradet and Brandon Zech discuss the similarities and differences between two new Netflix documentary series. "Andy Warhol did kind of invent the persona as a brand, but at the time he pioneered it, there was no pride to his persona. With Kanye West, his brand is 98% pride."

Billy Hassell is well-known for his depictions of Texas flora and fauna, often emphasizing the need for conservation of these species. This exhibition will focus on works from Hassell’s oeuvre that depict animals and plants that are local to Southeast Texas communities, as well as extinct animals once native to the area.
