Show Notes
Today on The Culture Show co hosts Jared Bowen, Callie Crossley and Edgar B. Herwick III go over the latest arts and culture headlines on our week-in-review.
First up, Boston will host its first ever public art triennial. A year from now the city will be populated by public art from international superstars to locally renowned artists.
From there, disappointed museum goers are putting the moan in Mona Lisa. The Louvre has plans to move da Vinci’s masterpiece underground so that audiences don’t have to be dissatisfied with what is now considered an overrated work.
Plus, the Tony nominations are out, we look at the surprises, snubs and snoozers.
And, where’s the beef? Look no further than hip-hop heavyweights Kendrick Lamar and Drake. We track how their feud has escalated and ask if this modern-day rap battle is proof that when it comes to a duel, the pen is mightier than the sword.
