April 19, 2024 - Week in Review: the Biennale, Faith Ringgold, and Billy Joel
About The Episode
Coming up: Our arts and culture week in review.
First up, the Venice Biennale — Artist Jeffrey Gibson, with his riot of color, is the first ever Indigenous artist selected to represent the United States; At the Israeli pavilion, artist Ruth Patir, won’t open her show until “a cease-fire and hostage release agreement is reached; And the German Pavilion, which has been described as creepy and enchanting is a hit for its freak out factor.
Then we remember groundbreaking artist Faith Ringgold who stitched together stories of Black life.
From there, it’s a Coachella catch-all, as the music festival enters another weekend. AND Piano Man Billy Joel tries to sing us a song but his CBS concert special went off the air for The Longest Time.
That and more (yes, Taylor too) is next on The Culture Show.
