Episode 22: (Part 2) Master-pieces
September 12th, 2023 | 58 mins 35 secs
esc, eurovision, georgia, go_a, jamala, ogae, poland, russia, solovey, stephane & 3g, ukraine, we don’t want to put in
This episode's guest is Elka Krajewska. She’s an artist, poet, and activist. I'll talk to her about her current life in Warsaw, and her previous live in New York-- where she notably ran the Salvage Art Institute. The Institute famously deals with what remains of fine art that has been seriously damaged, which in insurance circles is called salvage. We’ll talk about the Rodin and Calder sculptures semi-destroyed in the attacks on 9/11, and the fragments of a very famous balloon dog sculpture. Elka’s now working in Warsaw. We’ll talk about Eastern Europe, about where she is now. About the human experience, art, impermanence. We’ll then chat about some iconic submissions from 2020, 2016, and 2009, including Go-A, Jamala, and Stephane & 3G. I always encourage you to go to the showpage at eurovisionsongcontext.fireside.fm and watch the submissions before we talk about them.
One last note, this episode includes 3 swear words that I haven’t edited. Hide your children.

Remember the girl in the sunflower jacket who opened Eurovision 2023? Her name is Angelina, and her intro in the first three minutes of Eurovision Semifinal 1 with a little boy named Josh probably had you in tears. In this episode I talk to her about opening ESC, representing Ukraine, Verka, and how glorious Sam Ryder's hair is.
