What would you create if you knew you were “The Last Artist”? Join host Luis Martin/ The Art Engineer in this monolog that asks  “What would you create, if this was it? What needs to come out?” Listen in as he poses a few questions and asks you to imagine your work outside of the gallery context. What role can an art practice play in the new paradigm that is slowly and painful emerging. Let’s talk about what can ease our collective vertigo and put out the flames of the world we have inherited and co-created. You are the last artist, say something!
