Happy belated Valentine's Day! This week I dive into the life and work of one of my favorite artists, Felix Gonzalez-Torres.  If you are able to, please consider giving money to Texas Mutual Aid groups to help folks who are struggling during this crisis.  You can donate to help inmates giving money to the Texas Bail Project, Houston Bail Fund, and the Community Bail Fund of North Texas. Try to help offset the costs of motel rooms for houseless folks in Texas by giving money to The Net FW. You can donate money to mutual aid funds like @feedthepeopledallas, @mutualaidhou, @austinmutualaidhotels, and @pmgmutualaid. This is a serious issue and is not a joke. Marginalized people do not deserve to die just because of where they live.

I can't believe we're at 20 episodes! This week I talk about The Black Vintage Market's video on Black Material Culture (more like geek out), and the three large objects in the Smithsonian's African American Museum of History and Culture that can only be removed if the entire museum is demolished. As always you can contact the podcast through email at [email protected], on facebook, or on instagram!

Sorry about the late episode! This week I take a look at the Library of Congress' National Film Registry.

Hi there! I decided to post another episode this week/for next week to make up for skipping yet another week. In this episode I take a look at how conservators tackle paintings and the various damage and treatments that can occur. I used lecture and class notes from when I was in college and because of this I have notes on other various art history/art professions so feel free to let me know if you'd like some more intro episodes.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/forartssakepod/support

Last week was not great, so please accept my offering of a late episode/no episode for last week. Anyway! This episode I begin my hopefully ongoing discussion of museum representation in video games and other media. I wanted to finally talk about video games and art, and I thought this would be a good starting point. I do talk about the other Animal Crossing games but my focus is on New Horizons with good reason.
