The Art Criticism Junto

Every now and then, we miss an event or two on the weekly updates that we really wish we didn't. This past week, P'unk & Indy Hall hosted a panel discussion entitled "The Art Criticism Junto", with Sid Sachs, Katie Murken, Andrew Suggs, Roberta Fallon and Libby Rosof on the hot seats. And while we didn't get to post the actual event, thanks to Joe DiGiuseppe, we have all the audio you might have missed out on. Without further ado, the player:

Apologies for the abrupt ending, we will have some follow-up on that for you later.

Shaun & Dustin Makes Radio Part Deux

Another RADio show from Shaun & Dustin Makes Radio, as broadcast by NEXUS 1650am. Word on the street is that there might be an analog t.v. station coming up, so if you loved the soulful sounds of the a.m., be on the lookout for the glowing tubes of the ol' antennae.

This was our second show, and the phones actually worked (in comparison to the disaster that was our last radio post). Thanks to Tal for joining us on the third mic, and for not demanding that he have his name in the title, even though he should.

RADio:



Approximate run time: 1hr 6min. I know, right?

Thanks to Nexus Gallery Monitors for putting up with us.

And Baseball: You are rad.

Cheers,
Shaun

From NEXUS 1650am Radio, Dustin & Shaun Makes Raido

Behold the glory of live radio, and the bliss of a small broadcasting range.

From January 2nd, 2009, this is a live taping from Dustin & Shaun Makes Radio {not a real show name, but what I like to call it}. It was broadcast on NEXUS radio 1650am, and if you weren't in the mile radius, well, now you can listen. Features Tal-the thrid leg of the show, and a little bit of Bilwa. More taped liveness to come!



Approximate run time: 58min., with a little bit of silence in the beginning, so be patient.

Mad Props to Baseball for the intro and outro. And no, we do not apologize for sounding amateur.

Cheers,
Shaun M. Baer

We've been looking forward to this for weeks!

Remember the Bellwether show at Vox? Remember those little slogans running the length of the whole entire space? The artist, Duncan MacKenzie (pictured above at the bottom right), runs BadatSports.com with a few other Chicago folk, and came to town to install his show and hang out with Funnel Pages, thanks to an email he received from our own Dustin metz.

Funnel Cast - Dustin Metz Interviews Zoe Cohen

This week I interviewed Philadelphia based artist, Zoe Cohen. My interest was peaked when I heard about her latest project, "Show Someone How You Feel About Something". The basic idea of it is that you do a drawing for someone and Zoe mails it to them. The project has gotten a lot of press lately, and has been seen in many different places- on site, blogs, newspapers- so I wanted to sit down and get an in-depth view of the artist and her beliefs. In the conversation we talk about everything from public vs private art, politics, the NYC /Phila scene, to the relationships that people have with one another via art.

For more info on Zoe and her projects, and to see images of what we are talking about check out her website, www.zoecohen.com.


Approximate run-time: 28 minutes.

An Interview with F.U.E.L.

Contributed by Dustin Metz

I went to F.U.E.L. this past week to interview Co-Founder Jen Yaron, and Curator Katerina Lydon-Warner. My interest has been piqued ever since this space opened up over a year ago. Not only is it in a prime location at 3rd and Arch in Old City, but it is in one of the most stunning buildings in that area AND devotes its walls to undergraduate/emerging artist. All of these aspects makes for a provocative combination and a lot of inquiries- Who are these people? How did they get the space? Why such young artists?. This is my first interview, look for more to come!



Run Time Approx. 20 min.
