Season 2

For this month’s episode, still circling the question “what makes great art?”, Lauren Wetmore enters into a searching conversation with Irish curator and writer Francis McKee. McKee is the Director of the Centre for Contemporary Art Glasgow, teaches at the Glasgow School of Art, writes books, and curates in other capacities, as well. He speaks with Wetmore about maintaining a relationship to the real world, and to the peripheries, in art.

This episode is supported by EXPO Chicago and Momenta Biennale de l’image.

Momus: The Podcast is edited by Jacob Irish, with production assistance from Mitra Shreeram, and original music by Kyle McCrea.
