Democracy In America: The National Campaign

Host Zefrey Throwell with guests Anne Pasternak, President and Artistic Director of Creative Time, and Nato Thompson, Curator of Democracy In America: The National Campaign.



This is a behind the scenes peek into one of the most smoking hot button issues going today: Democracy. In all its varied plumage, people are yelling about it in the streets, slumped over the bar watching it on TV, and arguing about it at work and crying about it on Wall street. Nato Thompson and Anne Pasternak give the lowdown on Creative Time's latest hit show entitled Democracy In America: The National Campaign at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. Encompassing such artists as the Yes Men, Trevor Paglen, Martha Rosler, InCubate, Red76, Chris Sollars, and many more, this show is an in depth and piercing investigation of the state of this fine yet finicky country as it goes through yet another pang of rebirth.
