Insurrection ft. Andres Serrano and Andy Grundberg

For 20 years, CulturalDC has been making space for art. That includes physical places like galleries, theaters and affordable housing for artists. But it also includes making space in the conversation for art. 

In this brand new episode of the Cultural DC podcast, we sit with two influential artists to discuss their latest works and reflect on CulturalDC’s latest film collaboration, Insurrection by Andres Serrano presented by a/political. 

Joining our podcast today are artist Andres Serrano and Art Curator Andy Grundberg to discuss Serrano’s new book The Game : All Things Trump and Grundberg’s latest work How Photography Became Contemporary Art. 

Andres Serrano was born in 1950 in New York City and later attended the Brooklyn Museum Art School from 1967 to 1969, where he studied painting and sculpture. Andres Serrano is an internationally acclaimed American artist whose work has been shown in major institutions in the United States and abroad. His photography work is featured in numerous museums and public collections.

Andy Grundberg was the photography critic of the New York Times from 1981 to 1991. He later served as the director of the Ansel Adams Center for Photography in San Francisco and as chair of the photography department and dean of the Corcoran College of Art and Design. Grundberg is an authority in the photography industry and writes eloquently about photography’s “boom years,” chronicling the medium’s increasing role within the most important art movements of our time.
