Bad at Sports Episode 851: Kevin Demery

Welcome back to a monster week at Bad at Sports. (We took an unscheduled vacation in August [cringe emoji]. This week we drop three shows the first of which is episode 851 from Kansas City with Kevin Demery. A great conversation about art, life, and the intersection of race and justice.   This conversation is amongst several you will hear in the next few weeks are brought to you through the support of Charlotte Street Foundation in Kansas City, where they are doing a remarkable job of bedrock-ing the Kansas City art world and its artists.   You should also know that you can expect us back on the radio on Wednesday with an episode from Expo Chicago. Excitingly, EXPO just sold to Freize and what that portends for our local International Art Fair, we will do our best to find out.   And, this Friday we will drop a third show with Andrew Mcilvaine who is currently doing an exhibition with our friend and now your’s Kevin Demery.   Our friend Duncan. (He works here.) Is also hoping that we will let you know about an opportunity he and a West Coast artist and theorist, Ted Hiebert (former guest of the show) are hosting at the College Art Association conference in February 2024. They are hosting a panel on post-rational visuality and all that that could mean. How do we re situate human-ness now (post-ai, hyper bureaucratized, justly, and constantly observed and ordered), and what can those parts of being human which don't feel rational or computable mean to us? How do we foreground them? What kinds of art allow us to get enough intellectual space that we can reflect on these conditions? If you've got ideas about a human future through art, they've got the panel for you.   Kevin Demery - <a href= "http://www.kevindemery.com/">http://www.kevindemery.com/</a> Charlotte St. Foundation - <a href= "https://charlottestreet.org/">https://charlottestreet.org/</a> Andrew Mcilvaine - <a href= "https://www.andrewmcilvaine.com/">https://www.andrewmcilvaine.com/</a> CAA Panel “Post-Rational Visuality” With Duncan and Ted Hiebert (it is a bit of a scroll) - <a href= "https://caa.confex.com/caa/2024/webprogrampreliminary/meeting.html"> https://caa.confex.com/caa/2024/webprogrampreliminary/meeting.html</a> Sarah Higgins and Art Papers - <a href= "https://www.artpapers.org/people/sarah-higgins-2/">https://www.artpapers.org/people/sarah-higgins-2/</a>   ...

Bad at Sports Episode 848: Robin Kang

This week we return to the lost hard drive and find the brilliance of Robin Kang. Interviewed at NADA art fair in New York City by Amanda Browder and Caroline Burghardt. These three brilliant humans chew their way through the history of craft and what it taught us about technology, and how that may pull us back to a human-ness from our tech, and playfully bounce around the New York art world and it's fairs. All from inside a Claire Ashley sculpture. Editing support provided by the always perfect, Martin Ortiz de Taranco.

Bad at Sports Episode 845: Phillip Maisel

This episode from the now found lost hard drive of Bad at Sports. SF based not all the time photographer and conceptual artist Phillip Maisel! From a NADA NYC of the past we share this great chat about aesthetics, photography, formalism, and the construction of an image  with Amanda Browder and Duncan MacKenzie, live from inside a Claire Ashley! Big thanks to Martin for editing support. In the intro Duncan talks about Bad at Sports's friends at Carol Fox hooking [B@S] (mailto:B@S) with tickets for "The Empire Strips Back" and how we don't really know how to judge or make sense of it but we all had a delightful time. Also 2 out of the 4 of us lamented that they did not purchase the "Wookie Playboy" magazines.

Today on Bad at Sports, live from inside EXPO Chicago, we try to get to the bottom of what the Monira Foundation is up to and what exactly it has to do with MANA Contemporary? So, we catch up with Anne Muntges, Director of Residencies and Grants Development. Then we are joined by the CEO of Apollo, Michael Miller and Chicago artist Sarah Raskey, and we look into the future of digital art delivery and what it would mean to have access to the world's greatest collections from your home.

This week we check in with independent Curators International through Scott Vincent Campbell and Becky Nahom, and they break down the exciting curatorial connection event hosted through EXPO Chicago for the last five nine years. The conversation touches on the value of curators having an informal, yet art infused context in which to connect. All participants fail to recognize that the proper noun for a group of curators is a “hubris.” As in, “a hubris of curators approached the young artist.” This chat is a followed by LA based but Chicago drenched brilliant image maker John Knuth and we get down, full on EXPO style but with flies, as we tailgate our own booth and try to change the world one T-shirt at a time.
