S2 Ep.17: Guerrilla Girls – Feminist Arts Activists. Creative Complainers. Hashtag Heroes. 0
Jul 22, 2019

Guerrilla Girls – Feminist Art-Activists, Creative Complainers, and Hashtag Heroes.  Anonymous, but hilarious, female artists tackle discrimination and equity issues in the art world.  Their super power – creative complaining – has moved the needle and may be a model of effective protest and activism for many of the troubling issues of our time.

John meets Kathe Kollwitz and Shigeko Kubota of the Guerrilla Girls at a top secret location for a rare interview with the mask-wearing covert crusaders of the art world.

The Guerrilla Girls discuss:

  • The art of creative complaining
  • The delicious and deleterious aspects of being anonymous
  • Political art
  • Not waiting for approval
  • Fresh ways of presenting facts
  • Making change by making people laugh

S2 Ep.16: Ben Monder – Enigmatic Guitar Hero & Black-box for Beautiful Music 0
Apr 8, 2019

S2 Ep. 16 feat. Ben Monder – Enigmatic Guitar Hero & Black-box for Brilliant Music.  Guided by a singular ear for music, Ben’s sound is unmistakeable and breathtaking.  His solo releases have created an entirely new vocabulary for guitar.  His skills as a sideman have earned him work supporting artists as varied as David Bowie, Jack McDuff, Paul Motian, Billy Childs, and Maria Schneider.

Ben Discusses:

  • His freely improvised album Amorphae
  • Acceptance of being a really slow worker
  • Working on David Bowie’s final album
  • Musicians he admires
  • Feeling like he always needs to play catch-up
  • The privileges and responsibilities of being an artist
  • Thriving on comfort
  • Perfectionism
  • How creative risks aren’t really risks if taking them isn’t optional.

With permission, this episode features the following music by Ben…

Triffids off the album Amorphae

Luteous Pangolin off the album Excavation

Oceana off the album Oceana

Tredecadrome off the album Hydra
