Curator and art writer Micheal Do is sitting in for Daniel Browning for the next five weeks. Author Markus Zuzak takes us back to 2005, to a wintery day in Vienna where an artwork by a little known German/Austrian painter Werner Berg found and transported him. Micheal and Markus discuss art, writing and memoir - his latest book is Three Wild Dogs and The Truth. Angelica Mesiti's arresting and monumental immersive piece The Rites of When startles and entrances Micheal Do at the Tank at the Art Gallery of NSW. Poet, sculptor and painter Jason Phu presents one of his classic poetic Phu-isms  And we visit a very tidy studio in Western Melbourne where artist Darren Wardle divulges his obsession: ruination.   Images left to right: Detail from Werner Berg Vor Der Auferstehung (Before the Resurrection) (1965) Detail from screenshot of Angelica Mesiti The Rites of When (2024) Detail from Darren Wardle Slumlord (2016)
