Displacement ft. Runo Lagomarsino (#60)

Displacement is the title of the show today, and the Swedish artist Runo Lagomarsino is our distinguished guest. The name comes of course from our talk, and it relates to something dear to the heart, to home, and to something important in art. His story and family history are very interesting, and they are very much reflected in his work and perhaps more importantly, in his life. Join us to hear about the role of politics in art, being displaced, and inviting your father to throw eggs at a sculpture of Christopher Columbus.

Here is a selection of works by Runo. Please visit his site for detailed information about works.
