S7 Ep 6: Gallerist Carlye Packer!

If we told you how many jewels of knowledge Los Angeles based Gallerist Carlye Packer gives us in this episode, you would accuse us of exaggerating, but we aren't! She goes over her incredible career, from unsuspecting pop-ups and installations, to general advising, to finally setting up the eponymous space! We get into what her role is as a gallerist to her artists, how she finds artists, what she looks for in a practice and more!

S 7 Ep 4: Assistant Curator Sarah Mackay

From the hallowed halls of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Legion of Honor, Alexis and Erika are joined by the esteemed Assistant Curator of Prints, Drawings & Photographs, Sarah Mackay! After running into her at a studio visit during various trips to Los Angeles, she tells us the trajectory of her career, which started off rather differently than most: She was a classical ballet dancer! It's an incredible episode getting into the nitty gritty of hard work, dedication, being available and committing and the proof is in the pudding, it has gotten Mackay FAR!

And she's still painting?! She goes through her career, her practice, how things evolve, how her self-esteem has evolved and the amount of GENUINE GOLD she gives us is staggering.

It's impossible to find a place to start when you're trying to describe a conversation with Gabriel Kilongo - the Founder and Director of Miami's hottest gallery, Jupiter Contemporary.

Take a listen to hear this incredible journey where Kilongo reminds us that diligence, hard work, networking, good taste and perseverance can get you where you want to go - and that the experience you get along the way will serve you more than you know in your future!

Talking to Debi Wisch, we learned not only how she got into filmmaking, but what is interesting about this topic and why make this movie at all? Also, what did she learn making it (heh) and what can we learn from the swath of people they talked to - from artists like Jenna Gribbon to friend of the pod Stefan Simchowitz and internet sensation Jerry Gogosian!

Re-Release: Art trained Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) Camille Bien interview!

Alexis and Erika speak with Camille Bien. Trained as an installation artist, Camille used her arts education and became an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. We talk about the traumas of art school, the endless "why's" in crits, and how we found coping mechanisms. Which incidentally is being part of a community and sharing our feelings. This is an INCREDIBLE episode for the times but also forever. How we make our choices and how we support ourselves is so critical and Camille brings amazing insight into these processes.

So did Nathalie Quagliotto and she decided to do something about it! She started an email list (you can sign up here!) and puts together and sends out REGULARLY hundreds of opportunities, culled, curated, sifted, and color coded so everyone can see how many, where, and not a dud among them! It's an incredible service, she's an incredible human, and we are ALL VERY LUCKY that she decided to take this on for us!

Re-Release: Art Litigator Luke Nikas Interview!

ENCORE EPISODE!  We get so many questions re: legal art stuff so we thought it was a good idea to release this ep with, no joke, one of the world's preeminent art ligitagors! Don't believe us? Google him. 

Erika and Alexis speak with Luke Nikas, a partner at Quinn Emanuel's NY office and Co-Chair of the firm's Art Litigation and Disputes Practice.  He takes us through the evolution of Art Litigation over the last 20 years and why it has exploded in the way it has. Also, what is litigation? What is litigatable?* What are your rights to your images and works as an artist and how can you protect yourself before and after the creation of your work? It's an INCREDIBLY educational episode regarding the tangential legal issues that surround the art world and everyone should listen, because it's more than either of the host's knew about and you're probably more protected than you thought. Bookmark this one, because if you don't need it now, you will in the future!

*Did Alexis make up the word litigatable? The autocorrect on this typing says no, but her enthusiasm in the episode says yes!

S5 Ep 10: Co-founder of The Honey Pump Suzana Poghosyan

Heads up, a few little audio glitches but that is the price to pay for podding on the internet! Thanks for your patience and understanding! 


Suzana Poghosyan looked at the art world and thought, "some of this is broken", and instead of moving on decided to do something about it! She co-founded The Honey Pump, a visual arts agency that would connect artists with projects and they are making things happen. Trained as an artist and and arts admin (MFA during a pandemic, no bigs) and cutting her teeth in Leo Villareal's studio, who better to take on the art world? Literally no one if you ask us! Listen in for incredible inspiration and info on how to get going through struggles and taking on systemic problems head on!

Re-Release: Interview with Artist and Disability Activist Sharona Franklin!

Re-Release: Interview with Artist and Disability Activist Sharona Franklin!

Strap in guys, we have an incredible interview with multimedia artist and disability activist Sharona Franklin! We'll get it out of the way and say yes, we do talk about how she (one artist, disabled body, in Canada) is taking on Gucci! We also talk about community, support, teachers, education in general, access and a whole mess of incredible topics. When you get to the end you'll see how we had to pull the cord b/c we could keep talking to her forever. She is frank and honest and smart and candid about the realities of her life and work and I (alexis) can guarantee listening to this will galvanize something in you for the better. Honestly. Also, Sharona is moving and as you'll hear everything is more difficult for her so if you have a few bucks you could throw her way, it would be much appreciated. RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL BOATS Y'ALL!

S 5 Ep 8: Chambers Fine Art Daniel Chen Interview!

Daniel Chen, co-owner of Chambers Fine Art, spoke to Alexis and Erika about all things gallery/art/music in times of cov!d! Trained as a musician and owning a gallery gives Chen incredible insight into both sides of the art world: as a creator and the infrastructure for sales. The gallery had some interesting and productive changes and Daniel was able to have the time and space to make some great decisions about how he would be operating the gallery on the most fundamental levels going forward. Alexis may have convinced everyone to move to LA.

Re-release: Curator AJ Girard Interview!

This week we look back on our interview with curator AJ Girard! If you missed his debut exhibition Shattered Glass In LA or in Miami, don't worry! The New York Times covered it here

Alexis and Erika spoke with curator AJ Girard this week about finding a place in the art world and what that means to him and how that journey is continuing. Why is it important to him to always be a student? What does he mean when he says "your perspective is perfect"? We are people worrying about other people forgetting Rembrandt? No one is forgetting Rembrandt! Tune in and EXPAND YOUR MIND! The generosity of his journey is definitely worth your time! Heads up - Alexis swears a lot in this one and we didn't beep it out!

After a minor hiatus of Thanksgiving and NY Times hecticness - WE ARE BACK! Boy are we ever! We talk to Elise Barclay this week who not only curates a corporate collection (too cool) but also is a few hoops away from being a certified functional health coach and we get INTO IT! Alexis cries. In a good way, but like, we take it there! Our bodies and practices are all intertwined and it behooves us to treat it holistically and Elise is here to give us some tools and we are GRATEFUL!

Minutes after reading Dana Kopel's incredible article for The Baffler Against Artsploitation we knew we had to talk to her, see how she's doing, what she's learned, and if she would share with us these thoughts and we were lucky enough that she said YES!
