“How The Art World Works” is an inquiry into the logistics, values, ethics, expectations and operations of how an artist “makes it” in the art world. Unmarred by academic impetus and vocabulary, your hosts Karen Atkinson and Megan Flanders condense experiences commercial, academic and otherwise from their special guests, cut the sludge and get straight to the point: Can someone please tell us how the art world works?

Artist Nayland Blake
Karen scheduled a “secret guest” to swing by our place and introduce themselves while we were in NYC earlier this year. This week’s guest is a “blue chip gallery artist” and a real-ass homie. They’re being honored with a retrospective at the ICA-LA opening September 29th, 2019 called “No Wrong Holes: Thirty Years of Nayland Blake”.

A very special thank you to the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution for allowing us to use the audio of wonderful artist Jay De Feo. While you’re waiting for this week’s full episode, please enjoy this short story Jay shared during her oral history interviews now preserved at the Archives.

Emerging into this great world
Out of art school and into the world. The information and background in these conversations sets a better insight into such a specific place. It's what no one in school seemed to want to talk about.
