2. About Art

Duration of issues: about 10 minutes.

A podcast by Maria Eidelman, who seeks to overcome the stereotype that art is only for art critics. The author adores museums and believes that the most valuable thing in them is not the exhibits, but the stories that, along with the ancient objects, fell under the glass.

For example, Maria tells why Moscow rich men of the XIX-XX centuries ordered mostly practical utensils from jewelers, and the St. Petersburg elite needed things that were not just useful, but refined and refined - like products made of thin "Lace". You will also find out what the paintings are sick with and who heals them, why museums hide a significant part of their fund from visitors and where valuable exhibits come from in general.

3. Not a fountain

Duration of issues: 20-40 minutes.

Audio show about contemporary art, its representatives and main examples. The author and presenter Ksenia Puzikova did not accidentally choose this name. His story is connected with the French artist Marcel Duchamp, who once ran into a plumbing store, bought a urinal and signed it "Fountain". That is, Duchamp considered art not a specific object, but an idea embedded in it. The author of the podcast fully agrees with the artist and, using similar examples, introduces the audience to the world of contemporary art. If you want to know how many Salvador were in the Dali family, this is an audio show for you.
