Tim and Gina discuss the roulette table of the Art World, and whether you can you pitch a show ?? Also, they go to the Whitney Biennial, the New Museum show, and discuss the idea ‘grow or go.’ 

Tim and Gina discuss scams, trolls and the Manhattan Art Review. Plus the new show at 'The Gallery', obstreperous gallery guards, movie characters who are great Artist role models, different kinds of terminators and the nebulous nature of Art world failure.

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. 

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.
