Art Club

The Sisters Perry are back baby! This week we discuss the color authority that is Pantone and how they streamlined color which is kind of a big deal. The sisters look back at the history of PMS, introduce our good friend Roy G. Biv, and get down with some color psychology. Take aways this week are that 1. you don't mess with Adobe and 2. Miranda Priestly was right. Find images and links to what we discussed at artclubpodcast.com

It is history time!! But it's super relevant and fun. This week Art Club is talking about Persian carpets and they're (we're sure) outrageous shipping costs! The sisters discuss the history and motifs of Persian carpets (especially the Persian pickle) as well as their modern-day influence. We find many cousins, learn about the spring sheer and discover that Ann pronounces everything weird always.

It's the remix, Intaglio 2: The Streets! This week we wanted to throw it way back and give our first episode another try (since we have improved since day one) so we are looking at the little baby printing method of intaglio. The sisters talk cash money, discuss how much intaglio needs to be coddled and rock on with our ephemeral selves. And as always with printmaking it is process, process and more process!

This week, Art Club is visiting Jerusalem 2.0 aka the Churches at Lalibela in Ethiopia! It's one city with 11 legendary rock cut churches that were built by angels (probably) and may or may not have held the Arc of the Covenant (whom is quite dramatic). The sisters discuss the history and restoration issues at Lalibela and decide that the Old Testament is the best testament. Oh and the name means "the bees recognize your sovereignty" so original Queen Bee over here.

You're getting paid by the hour, so make it detailed as hell! This week Art Club is going old school with some rock-cut architecture (a la Abu Simbel, the ancient city of Petra and more). The Sisters Perry use all parts of the buffalo, create a new radio host dubbed The King of Kush and decide that the WHS (World Heritage Site, duh) is the new VIP. Oh and all the names are wonderful.

Welcome to the stage the incomparable, the always topical, #1 tire manufacturer in the world....Lego! For the sisters Perry, Lego feels like Christmas which makes it our perfect holiday treat (after Cricket on the Hearth). This week, we're going deep into Lego's plastic use and we learn that Legos have been to space. But really that we just want everything in miniature. Also, apparently, Laura does a mean elevator pitch which we will hopefully hear soon.

If you didn't learn in the Faberge Egg episode, we LOVE Russian royalty and that's what we're talking about this week! We discuss the sorted history of The Winter Palace (which is now the Hermitage Museum) located in St. Petersburg. The sisters learn some common knowledge, Russian monarchs tax everything you love and there are many cats. Ann learns a fun fact about the London Bridge and that, honestly, being a Tsar is hard.

Art Club is coming to ya live-ish! Never heard of optical dot art? Cool, cause we just made it up! This week we're making our own category of art in which the brain goes "ehh close enough" (including Pointillism, stippling, Ben-Day dots and then some). The sisters discuss Willy Wonka and meet our new favorite super villain extraordinaire Polka-Dot Man.

So get your ghost sounds going and carve a jack o' lantern to protect your house from the undead!  Find more Art Club at artclubpodcast.com

Get ready to conga to the coffin cause this week we're talking about death and art! If art has taught us anything, it is that humans are obsessed with death (always have been and probably always will be). The sisters discuss bubbles as omens of death, death photography and mourning jewelry (which is possibly Laura's least favorite thing ever) among other forms of momento mori art. But seriously, this episode gets creepy so be warned!!

This week Art Club is going hella metal and looking at some Viking art! We are taking a dive into runestones which are either the OG war memorials or very large obituaries. The sisters spoil the show "Vikings" and discover the ultimate pantie-dropper name: Runemaster Bloodaxe. But remember that while runestones are about a dead person, they're really about who made them.

Art Club would like to introduce the oldest (and coolest) known textile: felt! This week we're going on a journey where we learn that felt is a big big deal from its origins to its many varied uses by modern-day artists. Ann sees camels in a whole new light and Laura promises that she knows the difference between felt and foam (seriously, she does). But the biggest take-away this week is that you can light anything on fire if you want it enough.

Knots or nothing baby! This week Art Club is checking out knot art from macrame to forensic knotting. The sisters plan a macrame themed Met Gala, meet zombi William III, reminisce about friendship bracelets and heavily discuss sailor macrame circles. Ann gets very impressed with Laura's writing and we get a little deep. Also there are many many puns, it's just too easy. Why knot!

You don't find grit son, you earn it!! We are Art Club and this week, we're looking at another method of printmaking: lithography (aka stone mark)! The sisters make a brief stop at the Moulin Rouge, pick their mascot (welcome the Art Club Levigators) and decided that printmaking is most definitely not an art form for the procrastinator. Also, Ann has found the new Spice Girls and Laura becomes a 1940's detective. Get ready for the most fun you've ever had in your life!

Robins! Paint! Stat! Art Club's second minisode is a follow-up to our Coloring Books episode (so check them both out). We learn about the paint-by-numbers craze which was inspired by THE Leonardo Da Vinci and was a part of the first colored picture of Mars. Laura and Ann go on a small EDM DJ tangent but mostly we just want to let the people paint and have a good time damn it! Check out our website for more Art Club at artclubpodcast.com

Prepare yourselves for some sassy, saucy adult coloring books on Art Club. This week, the sisters Perry explore coloring books from their strict start to their political teen years and finally to the relaxation of old age. Ann and Laura begin in the 80's (the 1680's duh), discover that there is no room for fun in early coloring books and have a philosophical debate on whether kids should even be allowed coloring books (it gets real). Color for your health and always find a way to sneak "doth" into your vocabulary.

It's our first episode about food and sadly no, sweetbreads are not what you think they are. We're discussing the traditions of weddings cakes from ancient Rome to now but mostly focusing on how much we love food. Ann and Laura ask the big questions like where is the 4th tier of Queen Elizabeth's wedding cake? What does "full of eggs" really mean? Is there an open bar? And what are your feelings on a chrome-themed wedding? Remember, the world is your pet oyster!
