Episode No. 688 features artist Sayre Gomez and curator Anna Katz. Gomez is included in two of the season's major contemporary group shows: "The Living End: Painting and Other Technologies, 1970-2000," at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and "Ordinary People: Photorealism and the Work of Art since 1968" at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Gomez is a Los Angeles-based painter whose work uses hyperrealism to address current events and representation and visuality in US society. Katz is the curator of "Ordinary People," which is at MOCA through May 4. The exhibition's fine catalogue was published by the museum and DelMonico Books. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $65. "The Living End" was curated by Jamillah James, who discussed her exhibition on Episode No. 683. It is on view through March 16. The exhibition catalogue is available from the MCA for under $20.
