About this episode
Episode eleven of Conversations Late at Night. In this episode we question whether the country we grew up in is the same now as it was back then, "The Poet's Death", how the art world might respond to the pandemic and what it means to share your last packet of noodles atop a mountain.
As Marcus Aurelius writes: "The pain which is intolerable carries us off; but that which lasts a long time is tolerable; and the mind maintains its own tranquility by retiring into itself, and the ruling faculty is not made worse. But the parts which are harmed by pain, let them, if they can, give their opinion about it." That is what we call art.
