#276 – Alex Schaefer on Painting Burning Banks, Creativity, and Modern Art As A CIA Psy-Op

Alex Schaefer became famous online for his involvement in the Occupy Wall Street movement and his series of paintings of burning banks. He has been arrested for drawing in chalk on the pavement outside of banks and been visited by the police for his paintings of burning banks. 

Alex had some really interesting stuff to say about the financial system, painting, creativity and how modern art was a CIA psy-op. I tried to convince him to paint a picture of Citadel Securities on fire as the Apes would love it – I was able to educate him a little on GameStop and Ken Griffin!
