PEL Presents PMP#138: What Are "Creatives"?

<p>Is there really a division in today's culture between those who create and the merely receptive masses? Mark gathers three artists in different media about the place of the artist in society: sci-fi author <a href="https://gerberbrothers.net/">Brian Hirt</a>, art photographer and academic <a href="https://amirzaki.net/">Amir Zaki</a>, and musician/novelist/ex-English prof <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Andrew_Fredrick">John Andrew Fredrick</a> (of <a href="https://theblackwatch.bandcamp.com/">The Black Watch</a>).</p> <p>We touch on art education, the self-understanding of artists, the relation between artist and consumer, art vs. commerce, bad art vs. non-art, and much more.</p> <p>For more, visit <a href="http://prettymuchpop.com/">prettymuchpop.com</a>.
