“Ever since man first put on pants and called himself civilized, the first thing he did was make art justifying the killing of his neighbors who didn’t wear pants.” His History of Art centers on a sitcom-style video series, starring artist Jayson Musson, as he endeavors to educate his skeptical puppet sidekick Ollie on the relevance of art. Jay and Ollie journey across a three-episode arc from prehistoric art through the present, encountering figures as varied as Pablo Picasso and a larger-than-life Venus of Willendorf along the way. The series orbits art history and all the fun to be had dancing on the minefield of the past. The series was commissioned by the Fabric Workshop Museum.
