  • 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.

Delilah Montoya, Rupert García
Q: What is a testimonio and why did you select it for presenting this project?
A testimonio is a book-length oral history with a praxis that invites readers to think about and act on the values and experiences of the subject, in this case Rupert García, who embodied social justice, anti-racism, anti-imperialism, and anti-colonialism. The form blends interviews with reflective guidance to mobilize readers toward social engagement.
Easter clips: Melvin Edwards
Q: What opened the door to barbed wire in your work and why did you begin using it around 1970?
He explains that barbed wire entered through practical memory—fences in Texas and upstate New York—then became a symbolic material that could convey both threat and visibility, shaping how space and confrontation are perceived in his sculptures.
Easter clips: Melvin Edwards
Q: Let's start with an experience you had in college. How did your time as a football player influence your art making?
Edwards notes that the discipline, focus, and hard work required in sports carried over into his approach to sculpture, informing his concentration on developing his own ideas and navigating the space between 2D planning and 3D realization.
Clips: Jo Ann Callis
Q: Can you talk about the influence of Surrealism on your work and why you felt drawn to it in your photographs?
Surrealism offered a way to juxtapose disparate things in a poetic, incongruous manner, creating new meanings and spaces for interpretation. It provided a lens to mix objects, bodies, and textures in ways that could surprise and engage the viewer beyond straightforward representation.
Clips: Jo Ann Callis
Q: How did your education under Robert Heineken shape your approach to photography and sexuality as subject matter?
Heineken treated each student as having unique potential and encouraged them to create their own assignments, which allowed me to pursue personal subjects and develop a self-directed practice that integrated sexuality with broader visual explorations, rather than simply conforming to a prescribed program.
