In this episode we summarize what art is in a 3 part description in this way -

Art is 1) intelligent communication that 2) functions by association or metaphor and is 3) necessarily incarnational.

In this episode the guy take this description and exegete it you could say. They work through each point and explain how and why they think this is an apt description for art now. Many times art is relative and subjective but often it can have a solid and concrete meaning, and that is what they try to do in this episode.

They talk about an untitled painting by Donald Judd who was an American artist associated with minimalism. In his work, Judd sought autonomy and clarity for the constructed object and the space created by it, ultimately achieving a rigorously democratic presentation without compositional hierarchy.

In talking about this painting Cody quickly associates it to himself because of the clothes he wears to work on a daily basis. Roy points out that this is what we do when we view art, there is some sort of associating that we do, it communicates to us in the associational or metaphorical way of something incarnations. 

Outro Music: “Always Ready, Always There”
