This week's show is top notch, grade A stuff, Jack, and you sure don't want to miss it. Art, religion, smurfs, Dungeons and Dragons, Duncan rattling on like an old man about how kids today just don't understand punk rock, AND the show closes with Richard's favorite music cue in the entire run of the program, a little pop diddy on Marx and Mao. A show with something for everyone. Duncan and Terri talk to James Elkins and David Morgan about the forthcoming roundtable… On April 17, SAIC professor and critic James Elkins reignites the discussion with the provocative Re-Enchantment Roundtable. The roundtable and associated events gather together secular and religious thinkers who rarely share discourse: artists, scholars and art critics—and religionists interested in art. Panelists will include Thierry de Duve, Gregg Bordowitz, David Morgan, Kajri Jain, Tomoko Masuzawa, and Wendy Doniger. The day long discussion is intended to span the full diversity of opinions, from those who think contemporary art is already "religious,? to those who believe art should have nothing to do with religious faith. Duncan and Edmar discuss the Lumpen Juggernaut's new building project and HQ, the Version festival, art madness on the river and Half-Elves that are chaotic good. Hot damn.
