What's with the dead bodies? Yes, that's an actual question from the New York fairs.

This week on the podcast, I invited the artist William Powhida on to the show ostensibly to discuss what we saw last week.

The discussion, though, ended up going far deeper. On the podcast, we talk about:

What we want from art in an increasingly tumultuous world

What landscapes, florals, and a dead body trend at the fair say about the world.

The shifting landscape of art, which includes many new faces and names

Plus, we talk about all the work in the shows that sparked thought!
