  1. Art Dirt: Interdimensional: Meow Wolf Houston

    1 DAY AGO

    Art Dirt: Interdimensional: Meow Wolf Houston

    Brandon Zech and Gabriel Martinez discuss their experience visiting "Radio Tave," the new Houston branch of the Meow Wolf franchise. "One of the things about Meow Wolf and about the individual, but ultimately collective, authorship is that in someone's room, it doesn't say who the artist is, with a little plaque on the wall. It's about the experience — it's about the feeling that the room creates."

  2. Art Dirt - Christian Cruz on the Challenges of Performance Art

    OCT 19

    Art Dirt - Christian Cruz on the Challenges of Performance Art

    Jessica Fuentes talks with Christian Cruz about the challenges of performance work and the difficulties of its documentation. "I'm interested in investigating invisible labor, as opposed to any physical labor. Lately my work has been closer to what I call pink collar instead of blue collar which means it is the work of those that are caretakers." See related readings here: https://glasstire.com/2024/10/20/art-dirt-christian-cruz-on-the-challenges-of-performance-art Today’s podcast is supported in part by the Art Museum of Southeast Texas, which is now showing the work of Texas-born artist Harry Ahysen. Ahysen's works explore themes of identity, memory, and cultural heritage, and draw from his personal travel experiences. His use of vibrant colors, layered textures, and dynamic compositions creates a sense of movement and emotional depth in his pieces. Ahysen’s art is celebrated for its ability to evoke reflection on the complexities of human experience, and his influence continues to grow within the contemporary art scene. "Devices for Study" is the first museum exhibition of Ahysen's work since his passing in 2006.

This is a movement that spanned great distances across the world."

    Art Dirt: Robert Boyd On The Art Of Underground Comics

    Gabriel Martinez talks with Robert Boyd about Charles Burns, Gary Panter, and the art of underground comics.  "The publishing industry doesn't work the way the art industry does. You have a royalty system. Whereas if you resell a painting, unless you're in California, the artist doesn't get anything."

    Art Dirt: Summer Exhibition Roundup

    Jessica Fuentes and Gabriel Martinez discuss this summer's group exhibitions and upcoming fall shows. "Altering photographs has always been a possibility and a practice. I think sometimes people forget that or only think about the seemingly limitless possibilities now in the digital age and with AI, but photographers since the beginning of the camera have been altering images in different ways.

    Art Dirt: History And Sci-Fi - Summer Reading Roundup

    William Sarradet and Gabriel Martinez discuss the links between a critical history of Latin America, a fictionalized account of a military coup, and our robotic future as depicted in animated sci-fi cinema. "Short War is a bildungsroman with the setting of the dissolution of a political regime. It's funny and charming and sweet and dramatic."

    JUL 28

    Art Dirt: Eat, Sleep, Work: Talking About Art Residencies

    Leslie Moody Castro and Gabriel Martinez discuss the growing number of residencies in Texas and beyond. "It's important to see how other people are solving similar problems in the studio. We learn by example and by seeing people's thought processes and studio techniques. Some of the most rewarding parts of residencies are spending time with people and making connections."
