Jason Barr (Enhanced Podcast)

(Enhanced Podcast)

Jason Barr is a Kansas based artist and podcaster. His podcast ADD on BarrHeaven is one of my favorite podcasts. He interviews top notch visual artist and musicians from all over the spectrum. This is my half of a podcast exchange we did. We also talked about some controversy about some of Jason’s paintings.

We discussed a bunch of different topics that I’m just going to list:Twitter Requests Kansas City Lawrence KS KU Printmaking Painting Art Stardom ADD Etching Water Colors Process and Permanence Drips and Drops Something more than design Interns off of Twitter Women are Better than Men Artists at 30 Jeff Koons Wonderfair Asteroid heads Field trip Publishing Professional Artist Community Collaboration Growing up Christian Hippies $800 Houses Hipsters

Michael X. Rose (Mp3)

Today we speak with Hudson Valley artist Michael X. Rose. I met Michael at his booth at the Fountain Art Fair just a few weeks ago and I was totally impressed with his work. I knew I wanted to have him come on to talk about his work, and he was very generous with his time.

Michael paints historical events, mythology, and folk tales and paints them using traditional Renaissance techniques. Though his work seems to take inspiration from folk art, his figures are highly modeled, very detailed, and live in very richly painted landscapes. I love how his work was a mix of folk history and the sublime.

The image in this post is the cover of the full color zine I bought at the fair. It depicts a whole bunch of battles between good and evil throughout historical and religious texts. It is also available for sail along with other work by Michael on his website MichaelXRose.com.

NewMediator.org: Public Displays of Affection

Public Displays of Affection:
Jeffrey Augustine Songco
January 7 – Feb 18, 2012

Jeffrey Augustine Songco risks being accused of massive over-sharing with his first solo exhibition, Public Displays of Affection. Displaying extraordinary powers of negative capability, Songco constructs a world in which his two great passions, Queerdom and the Catholic Church, not only peacefully coexist but thrive on each other. Songco constructs his art from objects and images that go both ways, as it were, such as Peace Poles, spears of wood with uplifting slogans that began to show up in the yards of liberal churches in the 1980s.

Update: Dino Eli Found

{Mp3}

In turns out that Dino is alive and well in NY. I should have realized that Dino Eli actually never went missing. I’m glad that Dino is okay and that he is addressing his own personal demon.

From what I gather Dino skipped out to try to drum up some buzz and to take a break from the stress of the gallery. He is trying to handle his personal issues and get back to work. I was definitely annoyed when I found out I was worried about nothing, but now I’m just concerned about my friend. I’m just trying to pretend he was doing some kind of Vito Acconci impression. I hope he gets what he needs.

From Dino’s facebook Status:

hello everyone this is dino eli of the orchard windows and dino eli galleries I dont know where to begin except from the start This is not easy for me but it is long over due for the truth not only to all of you but to myself The last 14 mos of my life has been the closest experience ill probably ever get in my life that im so proud of the closest to all my dreams ever coming true maybe just maybe i still have a chance or maybe not or maybe im stalling my only excuse the pressure of running both galleries alone and the threat of losing the orchard windows im working everyday every single day the constant shows the expenses anyway i think you get it its too much for one man i knew i was headed for a nervous breakdown so i began to escape my problems by using drugs. i was never at the hospital during nancy oliveris show i missed 3 days of elom bowmans show the last and worse incident i myself cannot believe ive been in a cloud of drugs and alcohol and denial there was no escape and when it cleared too late oh god all those artist what is today what i did it again and in my mind at the time there was only one way out you see ive been very depressed more then ever i lost hope the Jerry saltz thing destroyed me emotionally i binged i died i thought lets come up with a plan and maybe get some press out of it and i still can but i no longer want it i want to own up to the truth finally the truth no more lies no more trying to escape no more fear of losing your galleries dino please forgive me nancy oliveri mr oliveri elom bowman jerry salt

Dino Eli Gallery

Still preparing for the Thunk Tank Art Show.

Saturday, Dec. 3 from 6-9 PM This episode we discuss the upcoming artshow Thunk Tank: Corpus Absurdum and my experiments with Etsy. Thunk Tank: Corpus Absurdum opens Saturday December 3rd from 6-9pm at the Dino Eli Gallery.

I included an exerpt from Thunk Tank of an interview with the owner and curator at the Dino Eli Gallery, Dino Eli. It was a great interview, and I’m even more excited to be part of the show. Later on Thunk Tank I was informed by Bronwyn that Dino wanted me to be listed as the “guest curator”. So when ever you hear me say curator, say to yourself “guest curator”.

I also talked about my experiments with Etsy. I talk about how I am using etsy promotions, Twitter, and facebook to promote my artwork.

Dave LaMorte talks about the upcoming Thunk Tank artshow a the Dino Eli Gallery and about OWS. The artshow is coming together nicely as we approach the opening on December 3rd. We even have some audio from WFMU where we talk about the show. If you are looking for an alternative to big businesses on Black Friday, check us out on our Etsy site. Put your cash in the pocket of an independent artist and artisan. {Links: Thunk Tank Kickstarter Dave LaMorte’s Etsy WFMU {Mp3 Link}
