Art without meaning: optimistic nihilism with Tilman Phleger
Manage episode 363922488 series 3412747
In this week's episode of Just Friends, Jude and Lula are joined by fellow Yalie, Tilman Phleger, for a deep-dive into the intricacies of art and… philosophy? They tackle the academic incentives behind the art major, critique culture, art’s therapeutic role in coping with trauma, and the paradoxically liberating and haunting aspects of optimistic nihilism. Plus, Tilman explains why crafting art that mirrors — and not mimics — the artist is the key to survival in the world of art.
Check out Tilman and his work!!
