My chat with Eric Shiner of the AndyWarhol Museum about the Andy Warhol | Ai Wei Wei exhibit

Episode 11: I spoke with Eric Shiner of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh about the Andy Warhol, Ai Weiwei exhibition that is going on June 4 through August 28, 2016. I was really nervous, but shouldn’t have been. Eric was super-nice!

This exhibit is basically his brainchild. He & Ai Wei Wei both collaborated on it. This is a pair that I wouldn’t have thought to put together, but the exhibit is a meeting of two artists that have more similarities and connections than meets the eye.
