On Goingness

Elan Rodman is a fashion professional with a flair for the past. He founded the @thelostandfoundmuseum on Instagram, a space that connects sportswear history with design and cultural histories. While a graduate student at Parsons School of Design in their M.A Fashion Studies program, he explored the possibilities of connecting fashion history with art and theory as a way to understand the effects fashion has on society. His interest in vintage clothing became a focal point, as his thesis focused on the history of taboo, seen through vintage t-shirt graphics and phraseology.

Today, he is the Footwear & Packaging Specialist for the Reebok Archive in Boston, Massachusetts, where he combines his passion for footwear fashion history to help maintain Reebok’s rich legacy in sporting culture. 

In this episode, Elan and I talk about his genuine and unconventional path to building a career in fashion, how he got started as a vintage dealer and the importance of pushing through rocky terrain to pursue your dreams.

Adam Trunell⁠ is an LA-based filmmaker. In the past, Adam's been a writer, producer, and editor, depending on the job. Eventually, by necessity, he had to do all those things at once, including camera. That, plus the need to make anything into something, is where you end up with "filmmaker." In this conversation we focus on Adam's feature documentary The Row that he shot and produced on his own in Skid Row, Los Angeles during Covid-19. We chat about unraveling typical expectations of community and the nonprofit harm reduction organization called ⁠The Sidewalk Project⁠. Below is Adam's written bio for this project:

"The first time I heard someone cry on the streets of Skid Row, I was stunned, realizing it was only the first time.

The sound should be an anthem in a place like this, its chorus rising every night with the moon. Instead it sang unremarkably among the silent, sleeping bodies curled on the sidewalk—impossible in repose—falling like a whisper on deaf ears.  

That was my first year in Skid Row; eight since and I know better. Tears come at the breaking point, and if you’re already here, you’re past broke. By the here and now, you found a way to deal and people to deal with. 

We co-exist in Skid Row, home of the eccentric, troubled, corrupted, enlightened, exemplary, and unhinged. It cuts a complicated beauty whose diversity is unknown in any modern city, anywhere. I keep friends who have roofs and walls and friends without; friends with addiction disorders and friends without; friends who make victims and those who’d been one. 

None of us got the same story; all of us share the same space."

Christine Mai Nguyen (b. 1988 Fountain Valley, CA) is an artist living and working in Los Angeles. With a background in film studies and new media, Christine has been creating journalistic video diaries for the past 15 years. At the recommendation of a therapist she picked up clay in an effort to find peace in a tactile, off screen pursuit. She found comfort in the beginner’s mind of a new medium. 

I’ve been following and loving her soothing video content on YouTube for 10+ years, and was excited she agreed to pop on for an episode. In this one, we discuss how she got started on Youtube, how she’s maintained it all of these years, her start to DJ’ing and ceramics, how creativity can spring from both organic and structured spaces, and how switching mediums to avoid burnout is often a good idea. 

You can see her show "On Returning" on view until September 1st at Umico Gallery.

Laura Splan is a transdisciplinary artist working at the intersections of science, technology, and culture.

Torkil Stavdal (b. 1974) is a Norwegian photographer and curator currently residing in New York. At the age of 12, Torkil's grandmother gifted him a Kodak Instamatic 126, and he has not stopped taking photos since. In the mid-90's, after studying photography more formally in Copenhagen, he continued his education by assisting iconic photographers such as Knut Bry, Johan Wildhagen and Massimo Leardini, amongst others. Originally based out of Oslo, Norway, he started his studio "Konfekt" in the early 2000s with Lars Pettersen, Catarina Caprino and Tove Sivertsen. In 2009, Torkil moved to NYC and worked with a number of editorial and commercial clients, including: the New York Times, Elle, Dwell, Apple, VW, Bollinger Motors and Pollack Associates. In 2011, he added motion to his repertoire, and has since worked on shows and movies with Netflix, Lionsgate, BBC, the History Channel and several others. Torkil appreciates the unspoken in a photograph; that there is a story that the spectator gets to finish.

In this episode, Torkil and I chat about nature taking back human occupied spaces, the functionality and use of objects (or lack thereof), the photo as a conversation starter, finding your play space, and keeping his art practice going. You can find the gate photo Torkil references in our conversation on our instagram page ⁠here.

Most recently, Kim co-produced and hosted the podcast, "The Invisible Seam," in partnership with Tommy Hilfiger, highlighting the underrepresented contributions Black culture has made to fashion. 

In this episode, Kim and I discuss how she became interested in the cultural contexts of dress, how she became disenchanted and then excited again by building much-needed communities and databases within the industry, on looking to fill voids within the industry, and how her journey blossoming towards an authentic career has led to invaluable conversations and communities.

Singer-songwriter Leona Naess made her name in the early 2000s on warm, radiant, lyrically-driven indie rock, earning a wide range of rave reviews. In those years, Naess was living in the historic Chelsea Hotel and had put out three records in quick succession between 2000 and 2003. Naess’ diverse musical past also includes time studying music composition and even singing onstage as a child with her then-stepmother, the legendary Diana Ross.

Midway through making her new album in 2021, Naess read an article detailing the upcoming emergence of Brood X, a family of cicadas due to emerge along the East coast of the United States for the first time since 2004—the same year she’d last released an album. The same year she met her now-husband. The same year her father passed away. And in the intervening years, Naess had lived her own life “underground,” nesting, preparing for motherhood and growing her family. After 17 years, birthed from a kit of remarkable vulnerability, honesty, and strength, Brood X (via MessyNaess Records/distributed through AWAL and co-produced by Max Cooke) is an album of rebirth, reemergence, and rediscovery.

In this episode, we discuss the emergence of a new project after years in the making, the wisdom gleaned from several years in the music industry, keeping your art and work honest, and the merging and balance of work, motherhood and real life.

Shradha Kochhar (b. Delhi, India) is a textile artist and knitwear designer based in New York, as well as the co-founder of apparel and clothing brand LOTA. Best known for her home spun and hand knitted ‘khadi’ sculptures using ‘kala cotton’ - an inherently organic cotton strain indigenous to India, her work is at an intersection of material memory, sustainability and intergenerational healing. Focusing on generating a physical archive of personal and collective south asian narratives linked to women’s work, invisible labor and grief, the work is large scale and will exist beyond whispers over generations.

The work is made from hand spinning ‘Kala cotton’ - a cotton crop indigenous to India on a portable booklet spinning wheel (charkha) and hand knitting it into textures and structures that mimic the skin on our bodies. Focusing and investigating resources lost and born out of colonization in India such as ‘Khadi’ - a self reliant and equitable practice of textile making and ‘Kala Cotton’, a miracle cotton crop that sustains completely on seasonal rainfall as solutions to climate change, water shortage, soil degradation and social inequity. Built from an ongoing library of seed bank that documents indigenous cotton strains found across the world, unraveling the intersection of words - ‘cotton’, ‘cloth’, ‘colonization’ and ‘community’. Shradha's mission is to understand the potential in soil and to establish an alternate system of textile farming and making, that discourages modern technology that feasts on the felling of forests and extraction of resources.

In this episode, we discuss regenerative resources and how we can think about materials in a more cyclical way, soft sculpture and the knitted essay, and how collaboration and the act of building community can make an art practice that much stronger.

Christina Muscatello is the Co-Founder and Director of the Memory Maker Project based in Binghamton, NY. MMP is an arts, culture and advocacy program for people experiencing memory loss and their loved ones. When I learned about this organization, I sent Christina an e-mail out of the blue asking what I could do to be a part of her work, as I had done my college undergraduate thesis on the relationship beyond memory and spent several years researching and writing about these topics. By this time, I'd written a thesis paper and organized a book project that involved over 40 artists of different mediums to interact with a piece of writing written by my grandmother, who at the time was experiencing dementia. I was lucky that Christina called me back and offered me a place as her first artist-in-residence in September 2019.  We worked together for many months and I cannot even begin to explain how much I learned from working with her and how much it humbled me as an artist and human. This is one of many conversations, but I originally interviewed her for my blog project, No Hard Feelings in 2019, which you can check out here. In this episode we chat about what it means to be a creative aging specialist and founder, the I'm Still Here Foundation, balanced business models, aging in place, and paying attention to care partners as much as the ones being cared for. As always, it's about the community and it's about the village. For me, it's sharing these kinds of projects that makes this podcast worthwhile. You can listen to Christina's podcast project, The Memory Maker Radio Hour here.
