The work of artist Stefan Bruggemann is conceptual and provocative, but also aesthetically pleasing. Imagine lashings of gold leaf daubed onto red wood, collaged with poetic text that evokes the dark days of the Covid pandemic. Through his art, Stefan likes to pose existential questions, challenging us to reflect on themes such as freedom, individualism and capitalism.
In this podcast series, the Chicago Booth School of Business explores the themes portrayed in the art on view at its London campus. Taking a pioneering approach, the school uses art as a tool to inspire curiosity in its MBA students and to stimulate discussion around global issues.
Join presenter Emma Clark as she interviews curators and artists to unpack the complexities in their work and explore how art deals with globalisation, racial identity, gender, the role of media and so much more.
