Episode 28
This time of the year, we are bound to see plenty of yard signs around our neighborhood. What if our favorite also-rans of years past had yard signs-- including very antiquated figures like Aaron Burr or Rufus King? Such is the nature of Nina Katchadourian's fascinating new art piece, Monument to the Unelected. In this episode we enjoy a lively discussion about art, history, and public space.
