    Episode 14: Pam Glick

    In this Episode, Brooke talks with internationally renowned artist Pam Glick.  Glick's abstractions, with their signature, repeating loops were recently described by Artforum's Andrew Hunt as "no-holds-barred acts of endurance, a performance that lends the works a life-affirming dynamism and verve." The conversation delves into the development of abstraction throughout Pam's career, as well as her connection to Buffalo as a significant influence on much of her work.

    Episode 13: John Massier

    Join us for a conversation with legendary curator, John Masssier. John, an integral part of Buffalo's visual arts scene for over twenty years, talks with The Art Dome about how our city's art scene has evolved, the new AKG expansion and the state of arts writing. We even delve into the culinary world as John comprares art appreciation to food appreciation, in an attempt to demystify the art viewing process. And the phrase "cultural charcuterie" is used (perhaps for the very first time!) to describe Buffalo's expansive selection of visual arts offerings.

    Episode 12: Joan Linder

    Artist Joan Linder is known of late for highly detailed pen and ink drawings of interior space, mundane objects, wild flowers and more. Yet her latest show at Rivalry Projects (on view through February 23) showws some of Joan's earlier paintings; highly realistic oil paintings of male bellies. Join host Brooke Leboeuf as she talks with Joan, Owner and Founder of Rivalry Projects, Ryan Arthurs and Director of Rivalry Projects, Liv McManus about what inspired Joan to paint these images. They are as relevant today as they were twenty years ago, maybe even more so and the conversation addresses gender politics, body image, the male vs female gaze, as well as the place of figurative art in today's art market.
