Summary: The Artist Michael Reinsch is the guest this week as we discuss contemporary art, concepts, meaning, nihilism, and what it's like to kiss a strange man for money. Michael Reinsch's installation at the Place Gallery successfully blurred the boundary between art and life, and I was glad to get to talk to him about that distinction and the aim of his work. I'd like to thank my subscribers who donate monthly. That would be John L, Andrew M, Jacob L, and Ted F. And let people listening know you can find me on Facebook, Twitter, and at douglaslain.com. Also, I've started up writing for Thought Catalog again and I'll provide links to two essays about the philosophy of Arrested Development in this week's show notes. (Link 1. Link 2) If you're a fan of Diet Soap why not leave a review on iTunes? There are many sound clips in this episode. There are clips of Marcel Duchamp and Robert Hughes, a comedy routine from Coyle and Sharpe, Laurie Anderson's Bright Red, and Michael Reinsch himself set in C. Another conversation with Jason Horsley regarding his book Prisoner of Infinity is online this week. Check out the links to the right on his blog.
