Episode 500 | One State at a Time

Join two FIU students on a thought-provoking podcast as they dive deep into the artistic
world of Pittsburgh, focusing on the remarkable contributions of renowned artist Alexander
Calder and his iconic Mobile collections. In the episode, they explore Calder's artistic journey,
the significance of his Mobiles, and their impact on Pittsburgh's cultural art scene.Through
engaging discussions, they tackle conflicting topics surrounding art's ethical, moral, and
religious attributions to society. Here, they address whether art should be valued solely based
on its aesthetic presence or if its historical and societal impact should also be considered. The
students explore how Calder's Mobiles, including the notable installation at the airport, spark
conversations about the intersection of art and its conflicting values.
