On the days we have the pleasure of visiting a new gallery, we tend to do an excellent impression of someone who “gets” art – pausing thoughtfully, nodding slowly – while secretly wondering why a tin of old soup has been given its own security guard.
In this week’s episode of The Workshop podcast, Alain and John admit the truth most of us hide: art is often vague and deeply elusive. They ask the question we’re usually too shy to pose out loud: what is art actually for?
This short conversation offers a new way to think about art - away from appearances and towards using it as a tool to repair the frailties of our minds.
