    A Study in Burnt Orange (Part 3)

    In this episode, we hear from quite a few Cologne celebrities — even if they're no longer, um, hanging around... Also, a major synchronicity pops up — making for a pretty cool surprise... And if you're not sure what a synchronicity is — I've got a pretty good definition you can easily grok, without having to read Carl Jung's 100 page treatise on it... you'll find a full transcript of the episode along with links, credits and a few surprises at kristo.art: right here awesome sound credits: sound of diving board and splash courtesy of patchen This work is licensed under the Attribution License.

    A Study in Burnt Orange (Part 2)

    in this episode, we finally take a look at the wall placard to learn the name of the artist (Rosemarie Trockel) and the title she gave the work (Wasser : Water)... kristo also lets you know why it's better to avoid looking for the name of the artist and the title of the piece until AFTER you've had a chance to think about the work... you can find the transcripts for this episode along with show notes, credits and a few fun surprises right here ... awesome sound credits: Thorn & Shout: “Farewell” "Farewell" by Thorn & Shout is licensed under a Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.

    a Really Romantic Portrait of Mao (part 1)

    this portrait of Mao is pretty enigmatic, and it had me wondering why anyone would feel the need to paint it...let alone want to buy it... I spend some time describing the painting and wondering aloud about what it might mean... listen in and get my take on what I call AngryArt... I also interview an otherwise innocent bystander to hear what he thinks... I'm glad I did... but that doesn't come until the next episode, which will be part 2 of this 2 part look at this very stormy painting of Mao...
