NOTA BENE: This Week in the Art World

Come for the party reporting, stay for the discourse. On this episode the cultural critic and Spike Magazine New York Editor Dean Kissick joins Nate and Benjamin to fill them in on his early take on Cecilia Alemani's  THE MILK OF DREAMS, otherwise known as the 59th Biennale Arte. Dean and Nate are calling in from Venice to brief a (STILL) Covid positive Benjamin on everything he is missing, art party and fashion wise.  They cover the big show (of course), the vibe, the dearth of nightlife, Raf Simmons and so much more on THE ONLY ART PODCAST.

Oh no! A covid positive (and borderline despondent) Benjamin is stuck in NY while Nate phones it in from La Serenissima to tell us about everything he's seen (and eaten) in Venice.  Mary Weatherford, Stanley Whitney, Georg Baselitz and Anslem Kiefer are among the many offsite projects we cover PLUS the Biennale itself. This is the first installment of the wall-to-wall coverage of Venice that will happen this week on the ONLY ART PODCAST.

All this on the ONLY ART PODCAST.
