In the third in this series Mike Watson talks to Max Ryynänen asking if  the Frankfurt School are too Bourgeois.  

Max is a tenured Professor at Aalto University in Helsinki and theorist  of Aesthetics, where he focuses on excluded and outsider practices. He published On the Philosophy of Central European Art (2020), in which he  proposes Nobrow art production as a response to the dichotomy between High and Low brow and the way in which the former co-opts the latter.
