  • Great information for contemporary and historical perspectives on art

    I have been listening to this podcast for over a year now and I continue to be delighted with stories about contemporary and historical artists throughout the world. Highly recommended to learn about who is making waves in the art community currently and for a better understanding about the lives of the artists who have blazed trails.

  • Outstanding!

    If I were ever to be interviewed, I’d want it to be by Tyler Green, the best in the biz. Unless he hated my work, then I’d dread it. Luckily, he doesn’t waste much time on art he doesn’t engage with. Tyler would also win an “ouevre”-saying contest against any other art-pod host, hands down.

  • I hate to say it…

    But for all of the outstanding artists featured on this podcast, the host Tyler Green does not seem to do them justice as an interviewer. Sure he often does some very good research in preparing for the interviews, but he oftentimes sounds apathetic and even bored during these. Sometimes (and I’m remembering the episode with Roni Horn), it’ll become clear that he’s not interpreting the work correctly, the artist will even correct him, but he will fail to be sensitive, he keeps barreling through w... more

  • Please Improve Sound

    I really enjoy the content, but the sounds quality makes this an unpleasant listen. In the episode I have on now, the person being interviewed has severe vocal fry (which could possibly be an easy fix) but their audio is such poor quality they keep cutting out. How can you publish a podcast with this level of audio? Pretty disappointing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ruscha's Streets of Los Angeles, the Steve Roden Estate
Q: Why is the archive considered broader than art history?
Because it intersects with urban planning, demography, geography, and the study of how cities are imagined and documented, inviting scholars from multiple disciplines to engage with the material.
Ruscha's Streets of Los Angeles, the Steve Roden Estate
Q: What motivated Ed Ruscha to photograph every building on the Sunset Strip?
The motivation stemmed from turning a vast urban landscape into a manageable, typological project that could function as source material for books and as a living archive, with a focus on documenting everyday urban experience rather than iconic monuments.
Summer clips: Sofonisba's Lesson (new edition)
Q: What is the status of Sofonisba's oeuvre according to the new edition?
The book re-evaluates attributions and presents a catalog that maps the relative certainty of works attributed to Sofonisba, emphasizing conservators' findings and the evolving scholarly framework surrounding her body of work.
Summer clips: Sofonisba's Lesson (new edition)
Q: How did Sofonisba become famous in her own time?
Her father's strategy of circulating self-portraits and connecting her work to royal and noble patrons helped build her reputation beyond Cremona, aided by a network that included Francesco Campi and eventual moves to influential courts.
Remembering Betye Saar
Q: How did your experiences with Africa and Haiti influence your art?
Exposure to African and Haitian art deepened my sense of material power and ritual, inspiring works that bridge memory, spirituality, and social justice across cultures.
