frances and syd have a mid-career crisis

It's the first episode of Season 2! Over the break, we had a chance to reflect. That reflection showed a couple of withered husks who no longer qualify for emerging artist grants. We have been forced to admit that, after 4 years, the window of acceptability for sucking at our university's shapely tit is now closed. That we are now just a couple of dudes in their 30s who keep hanging around their old high school to relive the glory days. That the drum of time continues to beat out its relentless tune, as we shuffle closer and closer to the grave. But anyway how have you been? This episode's Two Minute Google is a discussion on fan art, wherein Syd is exposed as a Twilight fanatic. Title theme by Blast Rhombus Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Two Minute Googles: Hyperrealism

We would like to formally apologise to hyperrealism. For many years we were like "JuSt TaKe A pHoTo MaTe!", but then we googled it for two minutes and realised that there is more to it than just being technically impressive. Content warning for this episode, Sydelle uses the phrase "bussin".

Two Minute Googles: Sublime!

This episode of Barely Emerging we give the word "Sublime" a quick Google and talk about what we found. Mainly, a lot of seascapes and long-dead artists with too many names. But also, we uncovered a rich catalogue of artists from throughout history who have sought to give face to their feelings of awe and inadequacy when confronted with the stupendousness of the natural world. Who have attempted to capture on canvas the feeling of overwhelm and wonderment that comes from pondering ones place in the vast and unknowable universe, and realising that they are but one diminutive cog in a machine that can, and will, survive long after they have ceased to be a part of it. Or, who have sought to understand and share the breathless love and quiet terror of existing under the weight of heaven. You know, fun little things like that.

Two Minute Googles: Kitsch on the Cob

On this highly informative episode of Barely Emerging, we learn that 'Kitsch' is derived from the German word for trash, and if you say it enough times on a podcast episode it loses all meaning. We also discuss contemporary artists who work within the kitsch aesthetic, and debate whether or not these artists can truly be considered kitsch or not. Artists mentioned include Paul Yore, Jeff Koons, Mab Graves, Troy-Anthony Baylis and Margaret Keane.

Art Conspiracies

This episode, Riley O'Keeffe joins us for a paranoid rant about the conspiracies that have plagued the art world. Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" may be eyeroll-inducing, but what about rumours that Marina Abramovic is a cult leader? Or that the CIA assassinated Mary Pinchot Meyer? From Abstract Expressionism being Anti-Soviet propaganda, to the bizarre death of Mark Lombardi, we bunk and debunk some of the art world's most easily Google-able conspiracies. A trigger warning for this episode, some of the discussions include mentions of suicide, domestic violence, sexual assault, drugs and murder. Links: Da Vinci Conspiracies Marina Abramovic's Cult Walter Sickert Is Jack The Ripper Mary Pinchot Meyer Carl Andre and Ana Mendieta Abstract Expressionism and the Cold War Mark Lombardi LombardiNetworks.net Our Website YouTube Instagram Barely Emerging Hosted on Acast.

Two Minute Googles: Controversial Art

This episode we discuss artworks that have caused controversy both in and out of the art world. We talk about Ai Weiwei's 1995 triptych Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn, that pissed off people who saw it as nothing more than a brazen act of destruction. And Santiago Sierra's Union Flag, proposed as an inclusion in 2021's Dark Mofo festival in Hobart. It caused so much outrage that not only was it scrapped, but Dark Mofo itself felt the need to sanitise its 2022 exhibition line up in order to avoid any more negative publicity.
