Joe Rudko is an artist living and working in Seattle. He's also young, smart and incredibly gifted. Despite these things, I truly like him very much. His work, which manipulates found photographs and the ancillary detrius of our chemical photorgaphy past to explore questions of truth and perception is, in a word, fantastic. And did I mention he runs a gallery called Two Shelves out of his apartment that features monthly intallations from established and emerging artists? Well, I just did.

For Episode 13 I sat down with New York artist Cicdy Hinant at Interstitial on the eve of her opening there in February of 2015. We discussed her work and the cult of celebrity voyeurism that informs it. I actually had quite a few of my misconceptions straitened out during this conversation, and as much as I can't stand the thought of personal growth I have to say I feel good about the whole thing. Music by the Honeydogs is featured at the end as part of a run up to Adam Levy's concert at my house at the end of March. (more on that in future episodes).

I sat down with Joey Veltkamp with a lovely bottle of bourbon for an even lovelier conversation with the loveliest fella around. from religion to politics to methods of coping with both without going crazy I got to know the man behind the bedding. Joey is one of those people that makes you feel better for having spent time with him. And he makes fantastic art, so there's that. Follow the link to check it out.
