You better work, work!

You better work, work!

How some people store their work in an air conditioned scam in Livingston, NJ and others a pre-Civil War building, plus more ideas for their future award show. Also, how they handle giving critiques, the penchant for hating the Art World while being a part of it, Jack Whitten and recent heartbreaking Art World deaths.

'Are you not Entertained?' (Rip them to shreds!)

Tim and Gina discuss Tim’s recent travels in Italy, the criticism panel at ‘The Gallery’, the folly of keeping up with the Billionaires, how and why an Artist might criticize another Artist’s work and whether Unstretched should host an award show where the prize is pieces of canvas tossed at the winner.
