I love my wife
Interview excerpt from artist Zody Burke and interviewer Michael Farley, question omitted for alt text char length restrictions.

A:
Yeah, this is something that I think about kind of constantly but maybe in a more passive way… synthesizing cultural touch points that feel extremely contemporary, thinking about what they mean and why they're important right now, because there's always a reason. It's never really as simple as ‘oh, denim is popular again because of Y2K nostalgia’ — that's obviously a relevant variable, but there's so much more going on that you can dig up. My personal interest in denim has a lot to do with the post-Soviet context. In Estonia, denim was used as a currency on the black market for a while, as a symbol of a Western freedom ideology that felt very far away and unattainable at the time. But yeah, I don't know. I think it's easy to be critical of artists and art that make use of ‘buzzy’ iconography. But I think ultimately people who are critical of this are operating in sort of a neophobic fear, or at worst a totally exhausted anti-feminism… which is like, really boring. Disingenuous, too. My art has been called ‘instagrammable’ in a derogatory way. I resent the implication that these sort of girl-coded tools are inherently flippant because they are being activated by artists like me, who are making work while being aware of being perceived. Sometimes Europeans have really shocked me with their unwillingness to give young, feminine artists the benefit of agency or possession of critical thought. It's like, you're in the labyrinth too, jackass. Where was “Ways of Seeing” while you were studying? People are simultaneously afraid of and dismissive of sexiness, even in 2025. It's like being scared of teenage girls, and I put it in the same category of lazy misogyny. It's like, obviously these things have power. That's why they're trending. That's why they're buzzy. Why aren't you curious about that power at all?

While Rail Baltic HSR is still under construction, the Baltic States have meanwhile harmonized their commuter rail and you can now take a comfortable day trip from Tallinn to Vilnius for 39€ one way.

Beautiful fresco portrait of Hermaphroditus from Pompeii, hidden in the Naples archeology museum.
Beautiful half nude figure with breasts and an erect member reclines in a seat in front of a satyr, with a servant holding a chalice to their left.  Rendered in colorful painted plaster with cracks and patches of age, but colors are well preserved.
