Locust Radio Ep 4.5 - The Cookie Monster Who Flew Into Space from Peoria, Illinois

For the second half of episode four -- which first aired for Locust patrons on December 29, 2020 -- Tish Turl and Adam Ray Adkins share more of their work. Adam Turl, Tish Turl, and Alex Billet also talk with Omnia Sol and Adam Ray Adkins about Ilya and Emilia Kabakov and narrative conceptual art, and why the Peoria Cookie Monster mural is so much more interesting than those stupid fucking monoliths that have been appearing lately.

Some additional material we reference in the second half of the show: Ilya and Emilia Kabakov's The Man Who Flew Into Space from His Apartment; Adam Turl, “Interrupting Disbelief: Narrative Conceptualism and Anti-Capitalist Studio Art,” Red Wedge (February 18, 2015); the Peoria Cookie Monster mural controversy.
