On this month's edition of "Specific Objects: Talks on Art in the Catskills," host Miriam Atkin speaks with Athens and NYC-based interdisciplinary artist Patrick Costello. We discuss some of Patrick's recent projects (My Pizza, My Idea!, And Eat It Too, and Privy Privy), as well as his experiments in collective art-making and ecological horticulture on 10 acres of raw land in Greene County.
