In viral essays and beyond, those who bemoan the dominance of identity politics in museums often reveal more of their own biases than of the art world's

The latest A brush with… is a conversation with Jeff Wall. Among the other works we discuss is one of his “hallucinations”, The Flooded Grave, 1998-2000. So great to talk to this great artist. Listen and subscribe:

Time to start posting, then… New series of A brush with… begins today with a stellar artist: Goshka Macuga. She speaks brilliantly about everything from the transformative effect of encountering Christo in an art mag to the subversive metaphors of Stanislaw Lem.
