'Are you not Entertained?' (Rip them to shreds!)

'Are you not Entertained?' (Rip them to shreds!)

Tim and Gina discuss Tim’s recent travels in Italy, the criticism panel at ‘The Gallery’, the folly of keeping up with the Billionaires, how and why an Artist might criticize another Artist’s work and whether Unstretched should host an award show where the prize is pieces of canvas tossed at the winner.

Ciao Ragazzi! (Be Gay Do Crime)

On this totally ad-free episode, Tim and Gina discuss the pornographer of Reston, Virginia, Tim’s upcoming show at Rhizome in Rome, the era of pack and carry shows, residencies, Frieze week in New York, the right way to spend 500k, how an Art Fair is like looking into the abyss, spray and pray, do you have to look like money to make money? Embracing stoic wisdom to sleep at night in the face of Art world inequities and then rejecting it completely when someone copies your work.

Who will save your soul? (May the odds be ever in your favor)

Tim and Gina discuss Venice biennial madness, Met Gala madness, Michael Jackson bio pic madness, all the different ways to feel excluded (some worse than others!) celebrities making Art, going Viral, Artist moms and great Art they've seen recently.

Commedia dell’arte and Humiliation kinks

Tim and Gina discuss the most alarming theater they’ve ever seen, how Comedians and Artists are united in their tolerance for humiliation, making work for a show vs. fostering a free, ongoing practice. Are they a difficult Artist? Or just advocating for their vision? Their illustrious past shows in coffee shops and committing a crime for a Raphael Oil Portrait or a Lynette Yiadom-Boakye conté drawing.

Barefoot and Pregnant in the Studio (LIVE at 'The Gallery')

Tim, Gina and special guest and host at his project ‘The Gallery’ Florian Meisenberg discuss Alt Spaces, first shows, how Carla (Contemporary Art Review LA) has only been grossly incorrect once, formative experiences with Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, Artists as parents, the hamster wheel of making Art in the gallery system vs the joy of experimenting with other Artists, studio visit attire and how working with a gallery is like waiting for an important package.
