On Celebrity Speeches and Platforms of Passivity
<p>Originally intended to be an episode on politics and media, your favorite hosts got derailed and decided to stick to one topic and expand upon it. This episode of postmodpod looks at cinema celebrities Bong Joon-ho, Joaquin Phoenix, and Marlon Brando, and what they did to politicize their platforms. Spoiler alert - not enough.

On Art and Capitalism
<p>Things postmodpod hates the most, the bidding starts with: "Nationalism!" "Nationalism going once!" "Conservatives!" "We've got Conservatives on the left!" "Fascists!" "It's yours! Fascism is yours, don't let them steal it from you!" "Distribution of wealth in Art Markets!" "Ah the artists stole from you, fascists. Going once, going twice! SOLD" In this episode we look at some capitalist bullshit, what's new. In this case; Art Markets. How art institutions and rich people use art for financial gain, and the problems it creates for artists and their work.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sources:</p> <ul> <li><strong>“Art and Objecthood”, Micheal Fried, 1967<br> </strong></li> <li><strong>“The Price of Everything… Perspectives on the Art Market”, Whitney Museum, 2007<br> </strong></li> <li><strong>“The Orange Balloon Dog: Bubbles, Turmoil and Avarice in the contemporary Art Market”, Don Thompson, 2017<br> </strong></li> <li><strong>“Art + Taxes = The Dirty Truth”, Art Assignment, Youtube, 2018 </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZz2PhTQJCA"><u><strong>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZz2PhTQJCA<br> </strong></u></a></li> </ul>
