You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. Auburn University, Alabama University, Florida State University, Iowa University, Arizona State University, fine institutions, all five, Auburn, Alabama, Florida State, Iowa, Arizona, Arizona State, In fact, five top universities in the country, I would say. And they also topped the list of the top five universities with the highest STDs. So, just a thought. If you're thinking about going to a university, there may be a reason that those universities are the highest STDs universities. Good luck.

God bless. Hi, how are you? Welcome to the program. 888-90333 is the phone number if you'd like to participate live. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. I'm the Blaze Radio Network. Coming to a gallery, an art gallery, near you soon. Because it's happening in Australia right now.

Yes, naked art. Now we've all seen paintings, pictures of naked people. everywhere. And all the time we hear it's art. It's just art. Well, now, the National Gallery

in Australia has commissioned artist Stuart Ringhold since they're doing the exhibition from James Terrell a retrospective. They want Ringhold to host three nude tours

of the exhibit. it all sold out in one day. It's not viewing naked art. It's viewing art naked. Huh? Come on. Come on. Now, it's not the, you know, it's not the first time that they've done that.

But he claims, look, look. Terrell is an American artist known for works that manipulate light and space as his preferred media, and according to Ringhold, creates works that's better viewed without clothing. Of course it is. The term sky-clad is used within nature's and nudist communities as a term for being without clothes. Terrell is interested in light perception, spatial experience, the sun and the moon and all things celestial. He's well known for his sky spaces which bring the sky closer to and upon the viewer. He's commented, we are light eaters and skin drinks in light in the form of vitamin D.

His work is minimal and reductive. The nude audience is reductive. It seems an appropriate pairing, virtuality squared. The audience under the effects of changing light conditions, I anticipate that it will morph from resembling a marble sculpture to a character from science fiction. Nunity frees the spirit. It promotes positive body images and opportunity to accept one's body, not despise it. It is educational, education through feeling.

We consider the notion we are less sexualized with our clothes off than on. You know what that nasty clothing does? It engages the imagination and sparks the lust drive. Without the material registers of clothing, the nude body de-sexualizes. Being nude is fun and promotes happiness. Whenever we are nude, whether it's taking a bath, skinny dipping in the ocean, or making love. We are generally at our happiest. So true, James.

So true. So I'm thinking, why do you think we experience the show? Maybe we have a naked Saturday. Kind of, you know, experience the show naked. You know, hashtag naked, naked show. And I'll take your word for it. Or, you know, maybe you could hashtag it with a selfie. You know, just let me see the shoulders or something or the feet or whatever.

I don't need the whole nude shot. So maybe we'll do that in the future. Maybe we'll have a special, uh, Hashtag naked show. And I'll take your word for it. You can take my word for it. I'll join in because it's part of the whole experience. You know, in the words of the words of the great James Terrell.

I put you in a situation where you feel the physicality of light. I want to address the light we see in dreams and the spaces that seem to come from those dreams. I'm interested in this new landscape without horizon. My art is about your seeing like the wordless thought that comes from looking into the fire. Light is not so much something that reveals as it is itself revelation. For me, it's using light as a material to influence or affect the medium of perception. Hi, I'm James Terrell. I spent years doing a lot of LSD, smoking a lot of marijuana in the desert.

And I believe light and perception, our body soaks it in. And it is art. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. So much to get to on the broadcast today. My gosh, we're going to have to, you know, we'll have to address a little bit of the a little bit of the pizza deal because it's unbelievably agonizing.

I went off a little bit last night at the house. You were not fortunate enough to be a part of that. So I've calmed down a little bit from that. It's a little frustrating because we've come together. Look across America. In fact, look around the globe and you'll see that we've come together

like, well, like a James Terrell's naked art gallery show. We really have. Everyone is in love with each other. Actually, maybe we do need a little bit more James Terrell with some naked art shows because the rest of the world, the rest of the world seems to be going to hell in a handbasket. And since it is Easter weekend, I wonder if that handbasket is going to have some chocolate.
