We’ll Triennial Anything Once

And just like that, Amir and Przemek are back with food and drink banter, New York gallery comings and goings, Brice Marden’s passing, a questionable list of Painters to Watch Born in the 2000s, and even more questionable collector blacklist drama. Buckle up and turn up the volume, because things are only getting bleaker! 

Fresh from the Las Vegas strip, Amir reports back on the MSG Sphere and the salacious Sin City vibe, while Przemek fills us in on rural Germany’s Whole Festival. The th0ts then discuss Barbenheimer, MoMA’s internal rot, the New Yorker’s juicy 56-page long Larry Gagosian profile, and more!

After a brief 23-week-long hiatus, and a series of major life-changing events - the boys are back, and yet, not much has changed. The th0ts touch base on the latest highs and lows in pop culture, Przemek's pan-Baltic odyssey, the next Venice Biennale theme, and more. Meanwhile, Amir gives us a Gen-Z vibe report live from a Sky Ferriera concert, and we hear about Funny Girl, Bob Thompson at 52 Walker, It's Pablo-matic at the Brooklyn Museum, and The Sassoons at the Jewish Museum.

After much listener demand, we've packed our palettes with non-stop art coverage. This week, we take a look at the Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton collaboration, Beyoncé's controversial performance, Sotheby's The Now auction, Old Masters vs. Contemporary Art, Henry Taylor at LA MOCA, The Embrace by Hank Willis Thomas, and more!   ---------- Mentioned in this episode: Hofnung! Hofnung! program in Switzerland Vice - Yayoi Kusama Beyoncé performing for Gadafi's Son Sotheby's The Now Evening Auction Obsessed By the Present, Who’s Got Time for Old Masters? Henry Taylor at LA MOCA  

Happy New Year! The boys fire up their new thot bot and discuss Emily in Paris, 2023 resolutions, and America’s country music capital. Later on, the autonomous listener mailbag is popped open and the th0ts discuss queer figurative painting, the Metaverse and 3D spaces, new food trends, New York’s hot museum shows, art for the masses, and more. 

After nearly getting trapped in the NYC Marathon, Amir froggers his way through to the studio for yet another spicy episode! We digitally preview Alex Katz: Gathering at the Guggenheim, and then swing by Qatar for a report on the unscrupulous arts and culture crowd hitting up the peninsula’s pre-World Cup festivities. 

Like a slightly misaligned ancient calendar, we’ve swung back around and we’re back from the brink! We catch up on the last month in our lives, and gab about our current exhibitions, chronic illnesses, travels, and more. And in a special act of biblical blasting, we preview the new Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. 

Przemek has finally flown into Winnipeg, and boy, are his arms tired! The th0ts finally get a chance to catch up and discuss Amir’s trip to Boston, Przemek’s upcoming Thot Shot appointment, The Handmaid’s Tail, and some New York summer exhibition tips. They then poke their heads into the Beyhive by reflecting on Beyoncé’s recent release. And since this episode couldn’t get any gayer, in honor of mother's 64th birthday, the th0ts discuss their favorite Madonna remixes.

It’s been a busy month, but we’re back! We’ve pulled ourselves away from family visits, fun in the sun, bomb threats, and Talmudic scholarship to crack open the New York Times’ report on Julia Stoschek’s controversial familial past. Then with a 9 EUR ticket in hand, we cram ourselves into a piping hot Deutsche Bahn regional train down to Kassel, and take a peek at the messiness going on at the current edition of Documenta. 

In our special sizzling Pride Month edition, we discuss hotties, thotties, and not-ties. Amir hits us with his review of the much-buzzed-about Hulu film, Fire Island. Meanwhile, Przemek claws his way out of a bone-dry Belgian sauna and gives us his take on this summer’s tent pole pic, Top Gun: Maverick. To close, we make a thigh-gap lap around a few notable New York exhibitions.
