Episode 11: Mr. Walcott and Landscaping

Mr. Raul Walcott, who is from Guyana and works as a landscaper, talks to Resident Philosopher Andrew Rubner about how the process of making something beautiful is a kind of art. The conversation in many ways is about the definition of art, but it also becomes a conversation about the function of art. Interestingly, it returns several times to the point, evident in landscape architecture, but perhaps more hidden in other kinds of that, that art is taking chaos and making order out of it. In Raul’s words, “You come into a situation that is not good, and then make it good.” Support the showWebsite: talkpopc.orgInstagram: @talkpopcEmail: [email protected]
