It's another 2 parter! In episode 9 Jaime Alvarez talks with me about his journey as an artist and the influences that shape one's path. Space voyage inspiring art, Foucault & grad school, turning a critical eye toward social institutions such as modern schools, defining yourself as an artist, developing as a photographer - my interview with Jaime Alvarez covered more than I expected. As Jaime has been on his journey as an artist he's kept his sense of humor intact. His enthusiasm for creating new work and appreciation of fellow artists comes through in our conversation. If it's shots of empty hallways in a school, photography of rocks given to him by a friend, or commercial work documenting other artists' exhibits - Jaime is consistently attempting to connect with the viewer.

This is a special episode of KTG Talks featuring Kitchen Table Gallery's very own Louise ORourke interviewing Danielle Wyckoff. Danielle talks with Louise about artistic growth, creative influences, forming artistic identity, what it means to make artistic goals, and a few other things they love. If I may say so myself, Danielle's art show at the gallery was a smashing hit!  Thanks for listening to another episode of KTG Talks, we really appreciate the love everyone's shown us in person at the gallery and on the web.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers past, present, and future! My conversation with Christina continues in Part 2. In this part of our conversation we chat about witnessing the past, we dive deeper into her Rair residency, nostalgia and family history, and the power of objects to invoke memories and connection.  Here are some links to the places mentioned during our talk:  Rair - a nonprofit organization that builds awareness about sustainability issues through art and design. (Taken from their site.) Philadelphia Sculpture Gym - PSG gallery, which is dedicated to showcasing sculpture in all of its many forms, features monthly exhibitions and provides exhibition opportunities for both emerging and established artists.

The guys in MINKA sit down with me to chat about MINKA history, their creative process, touring, getting heard, and the special ingredient to their now famous MINKA stew! Just kidding. I don't think there's a MINKA stew, but I'm sure Ari would make one for the fans if they asked. I had a lot of fun talking with the guys before their Valentine's Day show. Speaking of shows, this episode comes with a special MINKA announcement!  Here's where to get at MINKA: facebook  bandcamp twitter youtube website Producer: Louise O'Rourke   

Hey Everyone! Thanks for not forgetting about us during our hiatus. We had a busy month and we’ve got a bunch of episodes coming up. Today we’ve got part 1 of my interview with Christina P. Day. I felt my chat with her was more of a learning experience, or a class, in how to live like an artist. In talking with her it became apparent that she's done a lot of self-reflection about her identity as an artist and the work she creates. We talk about the definition of Crafts, differences between Art and Design, encouraging young artists, how grad school shapes an artist's growth, and much more. There was so much more we broke it up into two parts!  *** Christina P.

This episode is actually my first meeting with Rebecca O'Leary. When I contacted Rebecca for an interview my plan was to ask her about the world of Art Advisory. Hearing Rebecca's personal story compelled me to let the recorder run.

I had the chance to sit down with Marc after his Kitchen Table Gallery show last fall. We got into painting portraits of Philly locals, his Coal Country documentary, and some dark & twisted Philly history! Here's a brief description from our website about the paintings shown at KTG: Brodzik's paintings are a complex response to the environment of his youth, the direction of his education, and our market driven culture. He seeks to give voice to a society that is cajoled by fear to live beyond its means through signs, slogans and logos. By adopting these very images of "product" he subverts the message of pro-consumerism.  Marc around the web:  Marc Brodzik Woodshop Films 2009 Pew Fellow Marc on Facebook Marc on WHYY Friday Arts For those of you curious about the residency Marc mentions in the episode, here's the link: http://www.macdowellcolony.org/ Thanks to freemusicarchive.org for creating a space where we can find musicians like the two artists featured in this episode.
