    BONUS: Talking Butts from Art History with Museum Bums

    Jack Shoulder and Mark Small of Museum Bums fame take us on a curvy tour of Art Historical Gluteal Clefts!

    If you’d rather watch - you can do so here: https://youtu.be/1mCpKG4nuoU

    Topics include counting museum rumps, apotropaic blessings from Goddesses heinies, Kappa Yokai looking for soul spheres in your rear…

    We’re all still stumped about what was up with Hieronymus Bosch’s… erhm… interest in butts.  

    And of course, the coded queerness hiding just between the cheeks of artists like Michelangelo and Henry Scott Tuke. 

    For your daily dose of bum - follow @museumbums on social, and while you’re at it pick up Museum Bums: A Cheeky Look at Butts in Art from (preferably) your local bookstore.

    The featured song was S t o c k M u s i c from Anonymous420's album STARTUP NATION

    Purple w/ Caldwell Tanner - Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory & Color Studies

    Want to watch instead of listen? Do so here: https://youtu.be/Qw4YLLwleD0

    For its SEVENTH installment, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies brings you the extra-spectral, enigmatic (and sometimes controversial) PURPLE - and we have artist, illustrator, animator and (duncle) Caldwell Tanner of Not Another DnD Podcast (NaddPod), Drawfee, Big City Greens - on deck to help sort it out.

    Is it actually violet? Or have color manufacturers fudged the visuals? Or is purple hidden in plain sight, filling in the voids of our imaginations and our physical world?

    We get into all of this - discussing purple’s history - its ancient lineage beginning often laborious flora origins, its unwavering sense of mystery and wonder yet it’s reincarnation into pop cultural characters - as well as it's characteristics, and your color associations!

    Key moments include: Grimace (original), Qin Shi Huang, world wide mollusk milking, purple kimonos, Klasky Csupo, Cleopatra, Grimace (current day), colorful Giallo horror flicks, Harry Clarke, Lois Dodd, and what kind of pants robots could wear...

    BONUS: Among Equals - The Indigenous Group of Seven

    BONUS: Among Equals - The Indigenous Group of Seven

    We are so excited to share a new series from our Canadian podcast friends Once Upon a Time in Hollywood North

    A series about a group of artists known as the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation (PNIAI) or as they were dubbed by the press: the Indigenous Group of Seven.

    This was significant because the most famous Euro-Canadian painters then were known as the Group of Seven which put respect on their name - especially for Indigenous artists who were still thought of as less than their white counterparts as well as their work being seen more as anthropology than art…

    The PNIAI artists include:

    Daphne Odjig
    Alex Janvier
    Jackson Beardy
    Eddy Cobiness
    Norval Morrisseau
    Carl Ray
    Joseph Sanchez

    Listen to the first episode here, then go and subscribe to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood North to finish the series over the coming weeks.

    https://knockaboutmedia.com/podcasts/among-equals/

    Once the series has wrapped up we will have a bonus episode covering some of our favorite works from the series.

ShaeMcD ,

So good!

This is what I wanted to hear!
I went to a museum years ago with a friend and they knew all the backstory with the artists and also the technical stuff. It adds so much to the whole experience! Thanks for this! You guys are fun as well!

Rice Hole ,

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD!

Looking through these reviews is honestly annoying. This podcast is so good ya’ll! I love the refreshing topics, how you both play off of each other, and how you both demonstrate a clear and well thought out understanding of literally every topic you touch on. Fun ideas, eccentric funny hosts, you get it all here. Quickly has become one of my fav podcasts!!!
