For this episode, Art Ranger performs a written work by the recently departed Claes Oldenburg. What Beat Poets were doing for the word and the freeing of spirits, Oldenburg and his visual artist contemporaries were embracing a shift toward everyday encounters, away from rarefied and toward a plug or a clothespin. "I am for an art ..." conveys this unmuseum (art is everywhere) enthusiasm that the Art Ranger relishes and interprets for the listener.
