  • 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.

John Constable, Bruce Nauman
Q: What is represented in the sculptures, and why did Bruce Nauman choose those animals?
Leigh Arnold says the forms depict coyotes and foxes common in New Mexico. Nauman has offered little biographical explanation, while the works also evoke hunting culture, taxidermy, and mortality.
John Constable, Bruce Nauman
Q: What kind of work makes up the Yale Center for British Art's Constable collection, and how did the museum acquire so much of it?
Edward Town explains that Paul Mellon collected Constable works, especially oil sketches and studies, and ultimately gave the collection a permanent home at Yale.
Celeste Rapone
Q: Why the emphasis on the figure's scale and the way it interacts with the edges of the painting?
She explains that scale and edge contact are a studio-driven decision to connect the figures with the picture plane's boundaries, heightening exposure and body language within a two-dimensional space.
Celeste Rapone
Q: Do you use models or photographs, or are figures invented in your paintings?
Rapone answers that everything is invented; figures start as abstract shapes and develop through the painting process rather than from pre-sketches or models.
Mark Thomas Gibson, O'Keeffe and architecture
Q: How did your series handle the topic of black death and visibility in American society, particularly with the Klansman works?
Gibson describes intentional engagement with uncomfortable histories to provoke memory, critical thinking, and a re-examination of who is seen and who is forgotten in public monuments and museums.
