Wolfgang Laib. German Artist. Medical Student, but then rebelled and went into the arts. Spiritual. Maybe wears Birkenstocks. Collects insane amount of pollen. Melts Beeswax by the sun. But do NOT invite him to be part of a Nature Show. He's a sweet, humble, thoughtful man who makes quietly beautiful work. You can find images from this episode on our instagram HERE Middlebrow is hosted by Olive Moya and Lindsey Schulz-Peaslee. Please Enjoy, Wolfgang Laib!
Keith Haring. Muralist and Painter. (You can also find his work on literally any product - usually at Urban Outfitters - which means it's probably illegal). He loves to meet people. He loves kids (but not in a creepy way!). He vibed with Dada. Crack is wack! He was buddies with everyone, including Basquiat, Warhol, and Madonna. He was a voice for children, the gay community, and political causes he supported. And if you're ever feeling unsure about doing something, remember - KEITH WOULD DO IT! So settle in, it's a long one, and enjoy!
Good Times with Chris Burden. Known for his Performances, Installations and Sculptures. He crouches in lockers. Asks friends to shoot him and nail his hands to VW Bugs. Possibly throws bricks at things he doesn't like. Loves shooting guns and making people nervous. LA's iconic light installation at LACMA. He's truly amazing and makes everyone feel like their work isn't good enough. Time to get "inspired"!

Ai Weiwei. Chinese conceptual artist. Activist. Dissenting badass. We recorded on his ALLEGED birthday. Smashes Urns. Middle finger to everything (not everyone). He designed a building for the Olympics -- but then he forgot about it! Loves Blackjack and possibly cats. Middlebrow is hosted by Olive Moya and Lindsey Schulz You can find images from this episode on our instagram HERE Special thanks as always to our Autocorrector, Dayna Safferstein! (And guest autocorrector Timothy Wang).
Yayoi Kusama. Japanese artist. Dots, Pumpkins, Infinity Nets and Mirror Rooms. (Don't ask her why she paints her infinity nets though). She got ripped off by basically all famous artists. Aggressive and blatant. Smitten boys do anything for her. Kimonos and red leotards. Shame of What, Matsumoto? *Trigger Warning: we discuss Suicide and Trauma in this episode* Middlebrow is hosted by Olive Moya and Lindsey Schulz You can find images from this episode on our instagram HERE
Simone Leigh. Goddess and American artist. Mostly ceramic, bronze and raffia. Venice Biennale 2022! Zendaya. 4 Non Blondes and lots of submissive peeing. Middlebrow is hosted by Olive Moya and Lindsey Schulz You can find images from this episode on our instagram HERE
Lorna Simpson. LORNA! Photographer and Multi-media artist. Wigs. Creepers stalking people having sex in bathrooms. Film Noir. Blind Tom. Olive finally watches video art. Beautiful color palettes. Lindsey finds her soulmate. Glaciers and ice. Ebony magazine. How to tell your significant other you're done cuddling. Middlebrow is hosted by Olive Moya and Lindsey Schulz You can find images from this episode on our instagram HERE
Minisode turned into MAXI-sode, so settle in! Olive's Artist: Jammie Holmes. Painter. Good at posing for photos in his Al Green chair. Memories. Family. Lindsey's Artist: Toyin Ojih Odutola. Painter. Perfect jawline. Storyteller. Best friends with Solange. Loves Timon (no one chooses Simba except Olive). Also, we teach you about Religion and Ghosts.
