A Line Around Your Thoughts is a weekly podcast that takes its name from a quote attributed to the painter Gustav Klimt:
“Art is a line around your thoughts.”
Whether Klimt actually said it or not, the statement captures a certain truth about the experience of encountering a creative work—a play, a sculpture, a poem, a novel, a film, a classical symphony, a punk song—that somehow resonates with you. Suddenly the nebulous, fragmented ideas that might have been knocking about in your head have shape and focus.
ALAYT centers on conversations with the people who make, analyze and advocate for those creative works in the Inland Northwest. The hope is that, through those conversations, we can trace our thought lines in bolder ink.
The audio version of ALAYT is available through Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Its video counterpart is available on YouTube.
A Line Around Your Thoughts is hosted by E.J. Iannelli.
