129. Tim Guthrie on Craft, Boredom, and Art as a Gateway to Critical Thinking

Tim Guthrie is a visual artist, art professor at Creighton, and
an award winning filmmaker. His work has been included in
collections at the Boise Art Museum, the Paris Gibson Square
Museum of Art, the Plemmons Collection of Contemporary Art, and
the Leigh Lane Edwards Collection of Contemporary Art. His
documentary, Missing Piece, which chronicles his own grieving
process after the death of his wife, has garnered significant
attention and awards across the globe. In conversation with Tom
Knoblauch on today's show, Guthrie discusses all of this along
with his installations Extraordinary Rendition and Nuclear
Dichotomies in his broader project of using art to both explore
his reaction to the world around him and inspire critical
thought.
