The Arts, Art and Science

When we told a few people we were doing a podcast on museum ethics, we got some funny looks. And some interesting guesswork about museum ethics. One wondered whether it involved  people who deface works of art and cultural treasures: sticking their gum on Mona Lisa's nose. Another ventured that museum ethics included famous museum heists, which are "all inside jobs," such as the recent disappearance of  masterpieces by Picasso and Matisse from the walls of the Paris Museum of Modern Art.

Last week, we initiated our local Superheroes podcast series. Like most Superheroes, Tamara Real, the President of The Arts Alliance, was uneasy with the status a2ethics.org had assigned her. She neither sought the cape nor wished for the prestige and the praise Superheroes are given by their communities. No worries, we told her. You have accomplished so much for the arts and for artists in the region.

An hour-long mind-blowing revolutionary no-holds-barred assault on society. Bart and Jeanine begin by preparing a presentation for the Board, and wind up discussing Ethics in Art, the subtle dangers of language through the ages, superheroes, local festivals, and how to perform public ethical acts.
