Welcome to the Art Angle, a podcast from Artnet News that delves into the places where the art world meets the real world, bringing each weeks biggest story down to earth. Join host Andrew Goldstein every week for an in-depth look at what matters most in museums, the art market, and much more with input from our own writers and editors as well as artists, curators, and other top experts in the field.

When San Francisco-based artist Matt Furie created a zine in 2005 featuring a rag-tag group of immature adolescent animals, including a heavy-lidded frog named Pepe, he had no idea that his humble drawing would become a flashpoint for roiling cultural and political tensions across the world. The lovable frog, who likes to indulge in what feels good, man soon became Internet shorthand for a particular brand of alt-right activism, garnering attention from the likes of Richard Spencer and Alex Jones, prompting Furie to initiate a series of lawsuits to save his creation. After years as an arbiter of hate, in 2019 Hong Kong pro-democracy protestors adopted Pepe as their own mascot, this time redeeming him as a symbol of peace and hope.

A new documentary titledFeels Good Man, directed byArthur Jones and produced byGiorgio Angelini, charts the story of Matt Furie and his creation. On this weeks episode of the Art Angle, Jones and Angelini speak with Artnet Newss chief critic Ben Davis about cultural appropriation, freedom of speech, and the power of images in the digital landscape.

The story of Pepe is a story of Internet culture at its best and worstfrom beingtransformed into an innocent meme to its designation as a hate symbol is both a cautionary tale and a triumph.

Feels Good Man was awardedthe US Documentary Special Jury Award for Emerging Filmmaker at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, and is availableto watch onPBSthrough November 18, 2020 or throughthese outlets.

When Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden took the lead in Pennsylvania, several memes featuring Gritty, the official mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers, were widely shared on social mediawith Bill Russo, the deputy communications director for Biden's campaign, getting in on the act.

Gritty's image has often been used by socialist, democratic socialist and antifa groups as a meme in the U.S., and is seen by many as the left's answer to the alt-right's Pepe the Frog.

Biden's latest lead was helped by more than 31,000 newly counted votes in Philadelphia, the state's most populous city.

At the time of writing, the former vice president was reported to have 49.4 percent (3,301,245) of the vote in Pennsylvania, while Trump was just behind with 49.3 percent (3,292,378) of the vote, based on 95 percent of expected votes counted.

Biden was reported to have 253 electoral votes, while Trump lagged behind with 214, as of Friday, according to data from the National Election Pool/Edison Research. The candidate who secures 270 electoral votes wins the election.

Biden's election would be secured if he wins Pennsylvania, which has 20 electoral votes, bringing his total electoral vote count past 270.

Russo tweeted Friday: "I'm just letting everyone know that there are going to be a LOT of @GrittyNHL gifs on this account today and you are just going to have to deal with it.

"My decision to install a @GrittyNHL shrine in our office during this campaign has been vindicated," he wrote in another tweet.

Dave Temkin, the vice president of network and systems in New York City at Netflix, noted: "Bring jt [it] home, @GrittyNHL"

Parker Molloy, editor-at-large at Media Matters for America, wrote: "The new cabinet," along with an image of several Gritty mascots sitting around a conference table.

Oliver Willis, a senior writer for the American Independent, tweeted: "Bring gritty to the white house @JoeBiden."

Around 89 to 95 percent of votes in three other key battleground statesNevada, Arizona and North Carolinahave been counted. Biden was reported to be leading in Nevada and Arizona, while Trump is leading in North Carolina, as of Friday, according to Reuters.

At the time of writing, there were reported to be over 100,000 votes that have yet to be counted across a handful of key battleground states. They include over nearly 77,000 in North Carolina and nearly 44,000 votes in Arizona, according to data compiled by Edison Research for The New York Times.
