REVOLUTION OF LOVE: THE ART FILMS OF MADONNA with NEIL GOLDBERG!

“A revolution of love is needed now more than ever.” – Madonna Grab your berets (French or otherwise) roll some clove cigarettes and get ready to start a revolution because in this episode we’re looking at Madonna in the context that suits her best: the art film. From whispered manifestos to high-fashion martyrdom, we dive into Madonna’s visual projects: Madonna x Steven Klein - X-STaTIC Pro=CeSS, SecretProjectRevolution, The Hire: Star. Her-Story, Madonna X Vanity Fair, and Funeral Rites.  It’s Madonna, so we know it’s high fashion. But is it art? Is it deep? Is it camp? Is it all those things? Is it more? We discuss. Joining us is visual artist and professor NEIL GOLDBERG, who helps us unpack the imagery, the intention, and the meaning (or lack thereof) behind these striking, divisive works.
