Michele Maccarone: Is Porn Art?
Today's guest is the curator of Pornhub-produced fine art exhibit "The Pleasure Principle" - the legendary Michele Maccarone of The Maccarone Gallery! Is it possible to be in the art space without being a "brand?" What are the logistics of running an art gallery? Who (or what) puts the pricetag on a piece of art? What determines whether or not something is valuable? Is porn art? And if so - is all porn art? If an artist does something horrible, is it ok to continue to support their art? Are kids now learning about sex from porn? What would porn be if it weren't taboo? AND: How can an artist get picked up or noticed by a gallery? "The Pleasure Principle" is happening NOW in Los Angeles at the Maccarone Gallery at 300 S Mission st! Go check it out!
