Doesn't it seem like everyone is talking about crappy things are lately? This starts with the state of politics and extends all the way through to culture. Is culture in stasis? And if not, why does it feel like it is to so many people?

On this episode of Art Problems, the artist William Powhida and I discuss the following articles:

“Why has culture come to a standstill,” Jason Farago, The New York times

"The Painted Protest, How Politics Destroyed Contemporary Art", Dean Kissick, Harper's Magazine.

“The One Word That Describes Art Now” Ben Davis and scholar Anna Kornbluh, Artnet's Art Angle Podcast

You'll get more understanding of where culture is moving forward and where it isn't from this episode than any other podcast I've done. Consider this a must-listen.
