    Hey, I recognize that ornate square with Arabic text in the background!! It's an interview/menu from Pittsburgh's Conflict Kitchen! From the Iran menu, if memory serves me well. They were a fantastic concept restaurant with incredible food. Each season, they'd feature a small menu from a country the US currently is or has been in conflict with. And they'd hand out these large square transcripts of interviews they'd conduct with people from that country about their food and culture, with pretty designs on the back, and the country name written in the local language. Also, the Iran season had some especially banging food!

Who knows whether I would have related to them as profoundly as I do now, but I can't help but think they would have made one heck of a difference. I am going to very much find a great print and post them nearby. Thank you for another great show and the great introduction to Kent! I really dig her use of text in her prints, there's a vibrancy and cross-mind (text and image, perception and reading, amorphous and rigid) aspect that's really entrancing. :)

    Love this. Love discovering your channel. Actually, after having watched 'The truth of the tortured artist', I have a question. It was a reference to Jeff Koons that inspired the question. I believe Koons has teams of workers to help produce the work, as has, for instance, Anselm Keifer, Damian Hurst, and any number of other artists - I'm pretty sure the same is true of Anish Kapoor. Anyway, the questions are, to what extent are the workers acknowledged? How are they treated? Is this a contractual setup, like an employer, employee relation? Are these workers really artists themselves, and are they the 'dirty' secret of art production? In my view, all art is collaborative, even it if is in the single artist's relation with the society in which she lives. And, I also think we need to bring to light those actual worker-artists who are kept invisible or not spoken of openly. We need to examine the conditions in which they work too. We need this to both demonstrate the necessity of collaboration, and to rid us once and for all of the myth of great work being the sole product of some auteur genius. Hope you might do a video on this question some time. Thanks. :)

    Sister Corita was never a nun. Sisters make vows to follow the Evangelical Counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. They live in convents and are governed by a mother superior. Roman Catholic *nuns* make vows and follow those three Counsels, as well as a vow of stability, i.e. to remain in an enclosure (monastery) except under extreme circumstances, including a missive by their Abbess to go out and establish a new monastery. Too many sisters, along with the lay people of the Roman Catholic church, thought and/or think that sisters are nuns, when sisters do not take on perhaps the most difficult of paths, i.e. the enclosed monastic life. This is not to say that monastics are better than sisters. Rather, they live in Christ according to their own gifts and lights.

    First, you do such a great job. (I don't throw out compliments lightly.) Anyway, I first heard the expression about "We have no art..." in 1968 on the Marshall McLuhan's record, "The Medium is the Message." He says it's an "old Balinese" expression. Here's a link speculating that Corita Kent may have read it in his earlier book, "Understanding Media." austinkleon.com/2017/11/27/we-have-no-art/
