For Art's Sake: An Art History And Museum Podcast

Happy New Year! In honor of New Years Eve and all the fireworks, I decided to take a look at the controversy around a painting titled Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket and the artist who created it. I hope that you enjoyed this week's episode and that you have a good new year! Things are still going to be hard, but hopefully we can get through January. Thanks for listening!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This week I have a loosely themed episode around the act of giving items/donating items to a museum, but really it's a ramble about my own personal experiences! This is a super casual episode because let's be honest, the days before Christmas are very hectic! If you want a specific story about my personal experience working at the Maryland Center for History and Culture, then this is the type of episode for you! You can follow the podcast for updates at @forartspodcast on instagram. Let me know if there are any issues with the audio as I have had issues with Anchor previously, which occurred after editing and re-listening to the podcast.

Edited to add: hi folks, it turns out something happened to the audio after the podcast was uploaded. Hopefully the audio is now fixed. Hello! I'm kinda sorta over having covid, so maybe things will be a little normal? This week I'm going into the AIDS Memorial Quilt and NAGPRA. I know these don't really go together but I am trying to salvage this podcast, ok? Plus this episode features a guest appearance by a spam caller, which proves I need to make sure I silence my phone when recording. You can follow the podcast for updates on the instagram @forartspodcast. You can also shoot me an email [email protected] Take care!

This week I'm talking about some haunted collections, and if you have haunted collections you probably have a haunted museum. I'm briefly covering the Warren's Occult Museum, Robert the Doll, And Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum. This was a pretty brief episode, though not far off from what I usually do, because I didn't feel well this week. Please send your responses to the weekly question by emailing me at [email protected]!
