Hi y'all! Here is part two where I talk about the other artists included who had smaller controversy or none at all! Unfortunately I couldn't discuss everyone due to the lack of information I could find on certain artists. Also, this is 100% a Damien Hirst Hate Podcast and I live by that.

Happy belated Valentine's Day! This week I dive into the life and work of one of my favorite artists, Felix Gonzalez-Torres. If you are able to, please consider giving money to Texas Mutual Aid groups to help folks who are struggling during this crisis. You can donate to help inmates giving money to the Texas Bail Project, Houston Bail Fund, and the Community Bail Fund of North Texas. Try to help offset the costs of motel rooms for houseless folks in Texas by giving money to The Net FW. You can donate money to mutual aid funds like @feedthepeopledallas, @mutualaidhou, @austinmutualaidhotels, and @pmgmutualaid. This is a serious issue and is not a joke. Marginalized people do not deserve to die just because of where they live.

Last week was not great, so please accept my offering of a late episode/no episode for last week. Anyway! This episode I begin my hopefully ongoing discussion of museum representation in video games and other media. I wanted to finally talk about video games and art, and I thought this would be a good starting point. I do talk about the other Animal Crossing games but my focus is on New Horizons with good reason. You can email me at forartssakepodcast@gmail.com or follow me on instagram @forartspodcast

Edited to add: hi folks, it turns out something happened to the audio after the podcast was uploaded. Hopefully the audio is now fixed. Hello! I'm kinda sorta over having covid, so maybe things will be a little normal? This week I'm going into the AIDS Memorial Quilt and NAGPRA. I know these don't really go together but I am trying to salvage this podcast, ok? Plus this episode features a guest appearance by a spam caller, which proves I need to make sure I silence my phone when recording.
