EPISODE 11: Yodeling in the Dark with Virginia Lee Montgomery

Artist Virginia Lee Montgomery grew up in the Bayou and now has a pretty weird day gig that takes her all over the country. (No spoilers, though). Recent work includes a collaboration with the Dark Matter lab at Yale, an installation of what she calls subversive currency at Sculpture Center, and a solo exhibition at Meyohas Gallery (both in New York). More topics: Rodeo, Michael Smith, horse wigs. Amy talked to Virginia Lee Montgomery in her tiny studio in Bushwick last June.
