    Mieke Marple talks about her ongoing art project LIVE, LAUGH, LUBE

    Live, Laugh, Lube is an ongoing art project by artist and former art dealer Mieke Marple, probing in the superficial depths of social media with fellow clowns, comedians, and fools.  A kind of "exquisite corpse” project in which comedians provide language that Mieke creates a painting with, then both create a video together for IG explaining the collaboration. Mieke then gifts the painting to the participant, who must recommend two other comedians as the next participants (one with more visibility and one with less), and the cycle repeats ad infinitum. She’s so far worked with the likes of actress and comedian Melinda Hill, The Simpsons writers Dan Greaney and Broti Gupta, head writer and executive producer of The Office and King of the Hill, Brent Forrester, writer, actor, and comedian Obehi Janice, and others.  Hosted on Acast.

    Charlie Wells on his new book WHAT HAPPENED TO MILLENNIALS: In Defense of a Generation

    Author and journalist Charlie Wells discusses his new book, What Happened to Millennials: In Defense of a Generation. At the birth of America’s largest living generation, the outlook was strong: unparalleled economic growth, the emerging Internet, the rise of the cell phone, and a geopolitics that had allegedly reached “the end of history” all set expectations exceedingly high for a cohort entering adulthood at the dawn of the new millennium. That adulthood—a work in progress for more than a quarter century—has been disrupted by war, recession, pandemic, and a sharp turn toward cultural and economic polarization. It has also been endlessly critiqued by others as immature, lazy, weak, incomplete, selfish, and supposedly riddled with failure. Now, 25 years after the first millennials began turning 18, Bloomberg News reporter Charlie Wells comes to the generation’s defense with a cultural history of an adulthood disrupted. Drawing on hundreds of hours of intimate interviews with five millennials from across the country, he explores how the biggest events, ideas, and transformations of the century played out in private lives.

    Dan Alvarado talks PANDORA'S SWIPE - his solo show satirizing the dating app dystopia

    Artist Dan Alvarado discusses his solo exhibition PANDORA'S SWIPE, a satirical take on the temptation, overstimulation, and hypersexualization of online dating apps. Opening on September 5 and running through September 22 at Bushwick, Brooklyn's Botanica Grove, Alvarado’s paintings, composed of digitally altered and collaged dating profiles, become a landscape of portraits across the ether. Complimentary bright, colorful emojis accentuate the sexual stimulation and dopamine that dating profiles promote, and comment on how human society interacts and flirts with one another. To create a feeling of overstimulation, the profile images and emojis are screen-printed in vibrant colors before being hand-painted for their final touches, resulting in portraits with a more playful take on profiles users would see on dating apps. Significant events in the first half of this decade, such as the COVID pandemic and the correlation of ramped-up usage of dating apps during this time, inspired Alvarado to explore creating works on this particular topic.​ With dating app companies like Hinge, Tinder, and even Facebook promoting the idea that you can find love, many individuals are persuaded to take the leap and rely on these digital platforms to find their partners or significant others.

    Robin Givhan discusses her new book Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh

    Pulitzer Prize–winning culture critic Robin Givhan discusses her new book about fashion icon Virgil Abloh. She profiles Abloh’s legendary work and impact, revealing how the son of Ghanaian immigrants was able to infiltrate all aspects of our culture and inspire millions. Not only a remarkable biography of his singular creative force, the book is a powerful meditation on fashion and race, taste and exclusivity, genius and luxury. With access to Abloh’s family, friends, collaborators, and contemporaries, and featuring a cast of fascinating characters ranging from groundbreaking Black designers like Ozwald Boateng, to Abloh’s mercurial but critical employer and mentor Kanye West, Givhan tells a captivating, great American story of how a young man’s rise amid this cultural moment would upend a century’s worth of ideas about luxury and taste.
