where ART we now

Follow Elizabeth and Ivy as they navigate the art world through International Klein Blue tinted glasses. Both have taken unusual paths that led them to art and each other. Their conversations end up far from where they began, hence the title where ART we now. Despite living in an academic setting that insists on analyzing paintings of soup cans with SAT vocab, they say “like” as much as they want to. Season one includes interviews with artists, industry professionals, and general sh*t talking about the art that winds up in lobbies of corporate buildings around NYC.

    ep #6: one normal year is nine social media years

    Ivy and Elizabeth grew up with social media, but social media grew up without them. In this episode the girls analyze how the various social media platforms took shape in their formative years as young adults. Upon their reflection, existing on social media as a child is incredibly embarrassing. As it turns out, this is a more universal experience than we expected. What started as an innocent and cringe email address ended with subtweets.

    ep #4: “you know that’s why they call it the cockpit, right?”

    Did 2017 shape feminism or did feminism shape 2017? We’re talking pink cat hats, the first Women’s March, and Wonder Woman. In this episode Elizabeth and Ivy critique Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel. They question whether superhero girlies are exempt from the caretaker role that women play in films (and in life!). Superheroes are sexy, but are female heroes more sexualized than their male counterparts? Who is wearing the pants if none of them are wearing pants…?

    ep #2: emrata and our internalized misogyny

Beyond discussing the accessibility of the book and its writing style, the pair come to their own realizations about their relationship with how the image and physical bodies of women are perceived.
