Elaine A. King: Art Critic & Curator - Epi. 98, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Art expert and critic Elaine A. King found her way to the Podcast studio, mask and all. This was filmed during the coronavirus pandemic with social distancing, shortly after Arizona governor Ducey issued a stay at home order. Elaine's story as a professor, historian, critic, and curator was enlighting. King was a tenured Professor at  Carnegie-Mellon University in Art History & Theory and has curated over 50 art exhibitions. We had a lively discussion on the nuances of what it means to be an art critic and curator; a field  I didn't really understand fully until our podcast.  It was freeing to discuss art in such a trying time as a lockdown pandemic as art holds importance in our culture, listeners and in my own life. This art podcast was a deep dive into contemporary art, and I hope you' find it as interesting as I did.
