This Art Works! Meet Beige Cathy and make a truth bomb — a truth bath bomb, that is
Plus open your third eye through therapeutic clay-making as the world burns around you
The Head's had such a stressful week bogged down with the pressing issues of the world — good thing a few artists are here to help out! Artist Ness Lee helps him clear his head with her therapeutic clay-making process — now if only he could open his third eye. Beige Cathy shares her guide to raising awareness about the issues of the day, armed only with a smartphone and the perfect knapsack. In the meantime, Paddy Leung shows us how we can gift our offensive relatives during the holidays with explosive DIY truth bath bombs.
There are artists who make pretty pictures to hang on your mantle. This Art Works! is not about those artists. A new original series for CBC Arts, This Art Works! is a subversively surreal showcase of provocative projects by Canadian artists tackling today's most pressing and controversial issues. Using a variety of artistic methods (ball-gags, street signs, blanket forts and menstrual blood just to name a few), the artists let their imaginations run wild to make art work for social change. With a supporting cast of comedians, This Art Works! fuses the wholesomeness of children's television with an absurdist comedic bent, creating a bizarre world unlike any other.
Created by art collective Madeleine Co. and produced in partnership with OCAD University, This Art Works! is the gleeful mix of '90s nostalgia, comedy and contemporary art practice you didn't know you needed. Watch the full season online now!
