Piece Comment

Review of paintmixers


Besides being modern and edgy and skillfully done, the piece talks about something you're never going to hear on more mainstream radio or TV. Americans are still - after all these years! -very conscious of skin color - we pretend we're not but we are. This artist talks about it from inside her skin, in a way that forces the listener to focus on what s/he might really feel, too - and how we feel about others. A pretty worthwhile thing to reflect on over that cup of coffee or while fixing dinner or driving the car. I think the piece would need a quick context - she's an artist, she made of project of visiting these paint stores - then it's good to go. Good stimulate a good on-air discussion, too.
