Podcast Description
Many of you remember our What Do Curators Want? series that aired last year, featuring insider conversations with people like Lisa Melandri from the Santa Monica Museum and Jeff Poe of Blum & Poe. Over 10,000 artists from all over the world devoured and raved about this series. The complete archive can be found on iTunes and in our podcast archive. Our new series— Shop Talk — debuts today and features frank conversations with your favorite contemporary artists. Hosted by artist Bari Ziperstein, you can think of Shop Talk like that “Inside the Actor’s Studio” show on Bravo, except for visual artists. What are some misconceptions about being a contemporary LA artist? How do you juggle deadlines, personal life, and your day job? Has your life suffered because of art? These are tough questions, and Bari gets some very honest answers from some of LA’s most celebrated and respected artists.
