Welcome to Episode 41 of Spill the Art Tea – your weekly dose of unfiltered art world commentary.
🎙️ This week, we’re joined by the brilliant Tess Martin, an internationally celebrated animator known for her hand-crafted and experimental storytelling. Tess spills all on her creative process, the fluidity of working across borders, and why animation deserves a permanent seat at the high-art table.
📰 The week’s hottest art stories, including:
✨ E.T. phones Sotheby’s – Spielberg’s iconic animatronic alien is going under the hammer for millions. Is pop culture officially museum-worthy?
⏳ Rome limits your art time – The Galleria Borghese now gives you just 60 minutes to soak up centuries of art. Is this smart preservation or tourist tyranny?
🏛️ Should museums in the US be free? – With some institutions spending over $60 per visitor, new data fuels the debate on making art accessible for all.
🎨 Flannery O’Connor’s hidden art – The famed author turns out to have been a closet painter too. We love a multidisciplinary queen!
🎪 Art market or circus act? – One wine critic draws hilarious (and maybe accurate?) parallels between auction houses and big-top drama.
