Hello, 911? A gallery in the Hamptons is selling artwork made from Justin Timberlake's recent mugshot! In this episode, we cover the nasty (bad) history of mugshots, why publishing them is an exploitative practice that is as uniquely American as a festering bag of garbage on a New York City street corner. We look at the recent work inspired by Timberlake's Driving While Idiot arrest plus historical and contemporary work created with mugshots by Andy Warhol, Paolo Cirio, and Jesse Krimes, and some work by noted “appropriation artist” Richard Prince.
