Show Notes
Coming up: Our arts and culture week in review.
First up, the Venice Biennale– Artist Jeffrey Gibson, with his riot of color, is the first ever Indigenous artist selected to represent the United States; At the Israeli pavilion, artist Ruth Patir, won’t open her show until “a cease-fire and hostage release agreement is reached; And the German Pavilion, which has been described as creepy and enchanting is a hit for its freak out factor.
Then we remember groundbreaking artist Faith Ringgold who stitched together stories of Black life.
From there, it’s a Coachella catch-all, as the music festival enters another weekend. AND Piano Man Billy Joel tries to sing us a song but his CBS concert special went off the air for The Longest Time.
That and more (yes, Taylor too) is next on The Culture Show.
