Spill The Art Tea 🎨🍵 ft. Stuart Semple 🗣️ Tate’s Tactics, €1m Potato & Mould Mayhem!

t’s Episode 47 and we’re celebrating in style with super special guest Stuart Semple (@stuartsemple / @culturehustle) — artist, activist, and all-round icon. We chat first-hand about his ongoing legal battle with the Klein estate, his upcoming immersive installation in Jersey Zoo, and why creative freedom still matters.
 
PLUS, we serve up this week’s art stories with a side of sass:
– 🎂 Tate Modern turns 25… but has it swapped depth for dopamine?
– 🖼️ Art fairs reveal a widening price gap — is blue-chip dominance slipping?
– 🥔 A €1 million photo of a potato… and yes, it’s kind of amazing
– 🗽 A Black woman superhero lands in Times Square, and trolls can’t cope
– 🧫 Mould invades museums — it’s bad for art and worse for people

Spill The Art Tea 🎨🍵 ft. Tess Martin 🗣️ ET for Sale, Museum Time Limits & Free Art Access?

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.
 
💬 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for your weekly art world tea — served hot, with a splash of sass and a pinch of purpose.
