Thots on Art thotsonart

And just like that, Amir and Przemek are back with food and drink banter, New York gallery comings and goings, Brice Marden’s passing, a questionable list of Painters to Watch Born in the 2000s, and even more questionable collector blacklist drama. Buckle up and turn up the volume, because things are only getting bleaker! 

Fresh from the Las Vegas strip, Amir reports back on the MSG Sphere and the salacious Sin City vibe, while Przemek fills us in on rural Germany’s Whole Festival. The th0ts then discuss Barbenheimer, MoMA’s internal rot, the New Yorker’s juicy 56-page long Larry Gagosian profile, and more!

After a brief 23-week-long hiatus, and a series of major life-changing events - the boys are back, and yet, not much has changed. The th0ts touch base on the latest highs and lows in pop culture, Przemek's pan-Baltic odyssey, the next Venice Biennale theme, and more. Meanwhile, Amir gives us a Gen-Z vibe report live from a Sky Ferriera concert, and we hear about Funny Girl, Bob Thompson at 52 Walker, It's Pablo-matic at the Brooklyn Museum, and The Sassoons at the Jewish Museum.

After much listener demand, we've packed our palettes with non-stop art coverage. This week, we take a look at the Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton collaboration, Beyoncé's controversial performance, Sotheby's The Now auction, Old Masters vs. Contemporary Art, Henry Taylor at LA MOCA, The Embrace by Hank Willis Thomas, and more!

After nearly getting trapped in the NYC Marathon, Amir froggers his way through to the studio for yet another spicy episode! We digitally preview Alex Katz: Gathering at the Guggenheim, and then swing by Qatar for a report on the unscrupulous arts and culture crowd hitting up the peninsula’s pre-World Cup festivities.
