Join hosts Michelle and Isobel for a news round-up episode of ‘Crimes Against Art’ that they like to call ‘Artful Shenanigans’. Listen in as Michelle discussions the latest movements of artworks as restitution and theft takes these masterpieces around the world. Isobel gives a run down on recent developments in art institutions, including the continued debate on the purpose of museums. They also cover Isobel’s least favourite topic, KAWS, and Michelle’s new favourite artist, an Australian who throws pickles on the ceiling. Just one of the many shenanigans from the art world can’t seem to stop creating.
