Customer Reviews
Outstanding
I have enjoyed all the episodes so far but the conversation between David Levi Strauss and Michael Taussig is really wonderful for anyone with an interest in how images operate. To be able to listen to discussions about art at this level is an absolute privilege.
Great series
Have listened to a few of these on my way in to work...the Hilton Als and Thelma Golden discussion on James Baldwin, in particular, was very inspiring
