Intimate, Tied, Lonesome

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen and performance artist Karen Finley talk about how art gets into our minds and under our skin. Listen to Lonesome Gal, one of the first sultry voiced sirens of the airwaves. And hear about two artists who tied themselves together for a year, then spent the next twenty getting over it. Plus, virtuoso musicians hit the high seas and New York Times art critic Michael Kimmelman talks about his new book The Accidental Masterpiece.
