Iggy Pop has a story for you. Pop is the first of a selection of artists—including Black Thought of The Roots, David Byrne, Michael Stipe of R.E.M., and more—set to take part in the new digital art project Bedtime Stories.
The latest from Maurizio Cattelan, notorious for duct-taping a banana to a wall at last year’s Art Basel in Miami, arrives via New York’s New Museum. He explains the work as “a way of staying together during these days of isolation.” The project features each participating artist reading a passage from their favorite book, whatever it may be. Iggy Pop exercised that freedom by offering up a tribute to his late dog, Tromba. Pop speaks fondly of the animal, who he says hated New York City “and those little fluffy dogs on Tompkins Square.”
Listen to Iggy Pop’s love letter to Tromba below. Bedtime Stories will offer up new stories every day through the end of June. Among the additional artists slated to participate are Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Raymond Pettibon, Marilyn Minter, Rashid Johnson, Jordan Wolfson, and Maya Lin.
