How The Art World Works Karen Atkinson & Megan Flanders

Karen scheduled a “secret guest” to swing by our place and introduce themselves while we were in NYC earlier this year. This week’s guest is a “blue chip gallery artist” and a real-ass homie. They’re being honored with a retrospective at the ICA-LA opening September 29th, 2019 called “No Wrong Holes: Thirty Years of Nayland Blake”.

We kick off season two with our very dear friend Dominique Moody as she invites Karen and Megan into her home-slash-art on this remote-location episode. Learn about Dominique’s work and check out the next location of the NOMAD at: www.dominiquemoody.com

Our music is brought to us by Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra, you can check him out on spotify, pandora, and the internet at large. Thanks, Shawn.

A very special thank you to the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution for allowing us to use the audio of wonderful artist Jay De Feo. While you’re waiting for this week’s full episode, please enjoy this short story Jay shared during her oral history interviews now preserved at the Archives. She was working 3 sucky jobs and getting nowhere, that’s all you need to know to jump in to her wonderful story.

Mark Golden sits down with our favorite duo to explain how he's not a made-up marketing figure like the paper towel guy.
