"Fine" Art Podcast

Keegan Shiner

Arts

Comedy

Frequency: 1 episode/12d. Total Eps: 9

Hi, I'm host Keegan Shiner, and I love talking to fine artists about how they make it, do it, and what they're up to next. I want to have honest conversations with artists about their process, influences, interests and work. Each week I invite a new artist to the podcast and also invite a friend who is not a fine artist and has not taken an art class but they appreciate art and provide a friendly and curious "untrained eye" to the conversation. Don't forget to subscribe, and thanks for listening!

Cal Rice

Episode 9

Friday, December 18, 2020 • Duration 01:08:22

This week's guest is Cal Rice, a surrealist painter and sculptor who uses autobiographical feelings and memories to construct his work. He works mostly in painting, but we also talk about his sculptural works. We cover a lot of ground, from how Cal started drawing to his current work as a response to the current state of the world. Cal is currently in Boston and you can find his work at https://www.calmcrice.com/

As mentioned many times during the intro/outro: this interview was live streamed to Twitch this week and there happened to be no "bridge to outside of the art world" but there was a Twitch Chat asking questions!

Justin Favela

Episode 7

Tuesday, October 27, 2020 • Duration 01:25:41

This week's guest is Justin Favela. He's a multidisciplinary artist that creates large installation, sculptures and paintings using the medium of "piñata". For example, a recent work called "Libertad" at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia features an real 1984 Thunderbird decorated with weather-proof fabric to look like a piñata. (We talk about it on the episode!) Another recent work is Puente Nuevo! which is on display at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, is a large (corridor sized) installation of piñata paintings. He's been commissioned by the Denver Art Museum and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. He's also the recipient of the 2018 Alan Turing LGTBIQ Award for International Artist. He also runs two podcasts! (linked below)

This is a really fun episode. Special thanks to Eric Schwartz for being the "Bridge to Outside of the Art World". Every week I ask a friend who is not a fine artist to join in the conversation and talk about some art!

Danielle Abrams

Episode 6

Tuesday, October 20, 2020 • Duration 01:07:52

This week's guest is performance artist and educator Danielle Abrams. Danielle often embodies a cast of characters in her work that represent cross-sections of races, ethnicities, genders, and cultures. This web (or quilt, or weave as eloquently stated in the episode introduction...) of personifications embody the complexity of her own identity.

She has performed across the country including the Detroit Institute of the Arts, ICA Boston, Jewish Museum, Bronx Museum of the Arts, University of Michigan Museum of Art, Queens Museum, University of Michigan Museum of Art. Along with her collaborator Mary Ellen Strom, Danielle was recently received a residency at the Boston Center for the Arts.

Every week this podcast includes a guest who is not a fine artist. This week's "Bridge to Outside of the Fine Art World" is Eric Schwartz. He is a Chicago based comedian, board member of The Playground Theater, and host of Dumb Comic Creators Podcast.

Tuesday, October 13, 2020 • Duration 01:36:24
