    Ep. 144: Artist diewiththemostlikes and Glitch Marfa Co-Founder Derek Edward Schloss

    Ep. 144: Artist diewiththemostlikes and Glitch Marfa Co-Founder Derek Edward Schloss

    A conversation with digital artist and author diewiththemostlikes, whose work consists of short creative prose and digital graphics which examine the human condition through an absurdist lens. Die’s work is filled with scenes of consumption and excess by figures oblivious of the death and decay around them. I encourage listeners to follow the links in the episode description to understand more clearly the nature of his work, especially on the platform formerly known as Twitter. Previous guest Derek Edward Schloss also joins the conversation to talk about his new gallery Glitch Marfa and the artist residency “30 Days in Marfa'' which diewiththemostlikes is currently concluding. That conclusion will culminate with an NFT drop on Art Blocks titled “Nameless Dread”.

    Ep. 143: Artist Daniel Walbidi

    A conversation with Daniel Walbidi, an extraordinary indigenous Australian artist whose work bridges the spiritual and ancient wisdom of the desert with contemporary artistic expression. The one-on-one discussion with Daniel provided the unique opportunity to connect through the common language of visual art with someone nearly 10,000 miles away. In the conversation, Daniel and I discuss his creative process, the significance of his cultural heritage, and the importance of place in his art. We also explore the meditative nature of both producing and experiencing art. Our conversation centers around his latest show, ‘Yurlupirti - Forever Without End (eternal),’ which is the inaugural exhibition at D’Lan Contemporary’s new space in New York. This exhibition features ten new paintings that delve deeper into Daniel's personal beliefs and cultural perspectives, highlighting the fusion of coastal and desert environments through a vivid and layered abstract style.

    Ep. 142: Art Collector Jordan Schnitzer "First Came a Friendship: Sidney B. Felsen and the Artists at Gemini G.E.L."

    A conversation with Jordan Schnitzer, the world's foremost collector of prints and multiples. In the conversation, we discuss Jordan’s undeniable passion for art, his thoughts on collecting, and his unwavering support for arts programming. In particular, we delve into his support of a current exhibition at The Getty titled "First Came a Friendship: Sidney B. Felsen and the Artists at Gemini G.E.L."
    For over five decades, Gemini G.E.L Co-Founder Sidney B. Felsen has documented the vibrant life and creative processes at Gemini through his love of photography. This has resulted in an unmatched historical record of some of the most influential artists of the last sixty years, including Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Ellsworth Kelly, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Gehry and Julie Mehretu. Felsen's intimate photographs which capture the collaborations and friendships that have shaped Gemini's legacy, are on view at The Getty through July 7.

    Ep. 141: Artist Jim Shaw

    A conversation with Jim Shaw, an artist known for his eclectic approach and profound commentary on contemporary culture. Jim's expansive body of work spans a variety of media, from large-scale paintings to intricate drawings, each piece offering a window into his rich and complex imagination. Throughout his career, Jim has drawn heavily on post-war popular advertising, using the familiar visuals of mid-century America as a backdrop for his exploration of society's undercurrents. In the conversation, we delve into Jim's fascination with the juxtaposition of invented religions—creating narratives that blur the lines between reality and fiction, and challenge our perceptions of belief and ideology. We also get an inside look at his inspirations and working process, revealing how historical influences and personal experiences shape his artistic vision. In addition, we discuss the work that is currently captivating audiences at several major exhibitions, including Gagosian in London, the Palazzo Diedo in Venice, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp. These shows collectively present a comprehensive view of his artistic journey and the themes that continue to drive his work.

Outstanding art critic in her field

Roberta Smith interviewed was so great! Kept it real. RS gave her personal take on her climb as art critic writer. I loved it! Already loved Jerry (her hubby) and now, love her AND a new fav podcast! RS shared her and (Jerry’s somewhat) path as writer person and talk gave me a few artist writer reading assignments. Respect. Great questions too. Thanks!

Pollock conversation

That was a fun listen about the pollocks and about the back stabbing politics of the authentication committee, but with a brief look at the website, I immediately was sure they were fakes. Pretty paintings but not at all by pollock.

Love theVibe ,

Ditto: enjoyed Conal interview.

Conal, along with his art squad buddies, was a lifesaver in the late ‘80’s-early 90’s L.A. art scene……a real clarifier, defuser, and peace promoter. Splendid interview!
