#123 Why Art Matters - a podcast by James Cary & Barry Cooper

from 2021-12-16T04:00

Cooper and Cary have words with fine artist Alastair Gordon about why art matters, and why that would need explaining to us. We also ask: what should Christians make of the artist Tracy Emin? Or religious icons? And what does this have to do with Ferris Bueller?
