  • 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.

Brian Rochefort, Rauschenberg sculpture
Q: Did anybody try to bump you off of it? Were you intrigued by possibly doing other things or were all of your interests affirmed and deepened?
Rochefort shares that while he got into printmaking and drawing schools, he ultimately chose ceramics at RISD, inspired by a professor who motivated him to pursue his passion for ceramics.
Brian Rochefort, Rauschenberg sculpture
Q: Why do you think clay stuck with you?
Rochefort explains that he fell in love with clay in high school when he saw ceramic projects from his brother. Despite initial hesitations, he quickly became enamored with the material.
Holiday clips: Christina Fernandez
Q: Why did you return to the installation piece you created six years later?
Partially because it had been seen by so few people and I wanted to present the work again to a broader audience.
Holiday clips: Christina Fernandez
Q: Did you think of your interest in art and photography as being within the context of your family's activism?
I think it was an outgrowth of my upbringing in an activist household, influencing my identity and the way I think.
Michelangelo & Titian
Q: How did Michelangelo respond after seeing the Danai by Titian?
Michelangelo admired the Danai for its color but critiqued the Venetians for not knowing how to draw, revealing his own perspective as a draftsman.
