Episode 5: PFI Season 1, Episode 5, William Powhida

Peter and Oliver in discussion with William Powhida

Show notes

Critique may be a tired and especially urgent term these days. It’s also the theme of this episode (with anxiety as the sub-theme). Our special guest is the scurrilous artist-provocateur, William Powhida, who for many years made it his business to critique the business of the art world. We’ll talk to Bill about his past as well as his concerns and efforts to reform the financial asymmetries and dangerous myths of his chosen profession. Can this be done? Should one just leave town for their own utopia? Can Peter get a word in in this heated and dynamic conversation? Tempers flare, torches are lit, “Matt” is almost asked for assistance, and we talk about Ridley Scott and the band Tortoise a little. Listen in on this exciting discussion where we all slowly expose our cards, investments, untarnished romanticism and belief in the value of criticality. This is one for the studio and the classroom, folks. No winners here, only questions to ponder while you sharpen your pitchfork or contemplate your cake. (Recorded on 11/20/14)

Season 1 Produced by Oliver Wasow and Peter Rostovsky
