Artist and Hyperallergic writer and editor Thomas Micchelli talks about: His working class roots in New Jersey; how his busy life (full-time job, making his art, seeing shows, writing and editing for Hyperallergic Weekend) keeps him from time-consuming ‘social’ conversations; how the most gratifying feedback he gets on his writing is when an artist says that he’s “got” their work; how he doesn’t see himself as someone who makes judgments in his reviews but rather as someone who explores his personal reaction; how Jeff Koons’ retrospective at the Whitney showed a total concession to the market, and why; other topics include the artist Judith Bernstein and her late-in-life re-emergence as an artist of consequence in NY after decades in the wilderness treated like a pariah; the late, legendary Italian filmmaker, artist and poet Pier Paolo Pasolini – a gay communist atheist at a time when being gay in Italy was illegal – who made one of the darkest films ever: Salo, or 120 Days of Sodom; the most memorable review he’s written (also his hardest to write); the fact that he’s most drawn to abstraction as a viewer (because it comes down to his interest in formal issues, and abstraction lays them out in very stark terms), despite being a figurative painter himself; and how growing up working class led him to making figurative art as opposed to abstraction.

Los Angeles-based painter and sculptor Sarah Cain talks about: living in Highland Park, and the trials and tribulations she went through in buying a house (with a studio) there; moving to France as a foreign exchange student at 15, with only a year of French under her belt; going to grad school at UC Berkeley, as opposed to the Cooper Union-to-Yale dual track that she thought was the ticket at the time; being a woman who goes after what she wants, and, as a woman in the art world who's been accused of being too forthright with certain museum curators; her ambition, and how that's informed her career, including getting out of her Upstate New York hometown; the lack of discovery and experimentation in some art; her reputation while in San Francisco and how it's changed since moving to L.A. in 2007; the many routes to success in the art world, whether through the work and NOT being an immense socialite, or the 'fake it till you make it' approach; her relationship to class, having come from a lower-middle class background, to now frequently being in the company of the 1%; how she works in the studio vs. how she works onsite when doing over-the-top installations; and what she thinks about abstraction in its different forms, including her thoughts on having made it when it was very unpopular, vs. now when it's become so popular.

New York-based artist and performer Jennifer Sullivan talks about: Her neighborhood of Ridgewood, Queens (the non-fancy section, as opposed to the one adjacent to Bushwick), where she's led tours; her performing, both in character as Julian Schnabel, and doing standup comedy, mainly at the Funny Hole, her local speak easy/artist hangout; her comedy about being single, and her real life being single, and how the two have dovetailed; her performance anxiety-induced nausea before standup comedy performances (and she defines comedy as courageously sharing strange ideas you wouldn't share in normal life); the weirdness and scenester-ness of the art world; her dating life, including learning to be happy while single, which will in turn make her a better partner when she meets someone; how, through being in analysis, she's come to a place of being very open, with her emotions very close to the surface. All this combined leads to a very intimate and deep episode, yet not without humor—classic Conversation.

Helen Toomer, the director of the PULSE New York and Miami Contemporary Art Fairs, talks about: what led her to come to the States, New York in specific, from England, and how she's the black sheep of the family since she's the only one who left her home country; her two years running Toomer Labzda on the Lower East Side, which she ran with her now ex-husband, Chris Labzda, a fellow Brit, and an artist, who she married after nine months together, and what she learned from that time as a gallerist; how she got the job with PULSE, what goes into running an art fair- including selecting exhibitors and keeping them happy; and how to best manage your time as an art fair-goer or exhibitor.

New York-based painter Mark Thomas Gibson (http://www.fredericksfreisergallery.com/artists/mark-thomas-gibson) talks about: Race in art relations; being a black artist asked by both whites and blacks: 'where is your ethnicity in your work?'; meeting Houston-based artist Trenton Doyle Hancock; why he took 10 years off before applying to grad school (9/11); what led him to grad school (Yale) despite his reservations; and what it's like being an artist in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

New York video & animation artist Adam Shecter talks about: His job history after moving to New York (from school in Montreal at McGill University), including being a receptionist and a creator of visual internals among other gigs; his animation videos, including his relatively epic New Year, and how he anticipates viewers will take it in in a gallery (vs. film) context; how he came to show with the Lower East Side gallery 11R (formerly Eleven Rivington); and why he values having a full-time job (as an arts technology teacher at an all-boys' school) over being a full-time artist, as it gives him the time and freedom to make what he wants to make at the pace he wants to make it.

Brooklyn-based artist Colleen Asper talks about: Her short-lived fight against a rogue landlord and subsequently learning about renter's rights; her experience with Occupy Wall Street and other activist groups, and the surprisingly regressive anti-feminist attitudes she experienced there as well as in academia; her teaching experiences and wisdom learned at art schools including Massachusetts College of Art and Design and Yale (among the 14 schools she's now taught at); and how her training in ballet has more recently translated into her painting, and her explanation of why dance in contemporary art has become something of a trend.

New York-based artist Austin Thomas talks about: being a 'gallerartist' - a mix of artist and gallerist, and the various ways she's engaged the art world and community through her Pocket Utopia galleries and projects; her experiences both working for and collaborating with artists as a gallerist and artist advocate; her community organizing-oriented public sculpture 'the perch,' which will be unveiled in the spring (of 2016); her path to living in Chelsea, despite originally trying to buy a house in Williamsburg; and her upcoming incubation period in which she contemplates her next steps as an artist advocate, booster and supporter of community-building art ventures.

Andrew Russeth of ArtNews talks about: the business model of art agent/dealer Stefan Simchowitz generally, and the lawsuit between Simchowitz and one of his charges - Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama - in particular; another of Simchowitz's former charges, Oscar Murillo, and his relative value or lack thereof; the painter Joe Bradley (who along with Murillo appeared in MoMA's Forever Now), and how his work has managed to hold up; 100-year-old abstract painter Carmen Herrera, an artist who best represents why Russeth loves his job; up-and-coming artists whom Russeth is taking note of, including Annicka Yi, Jared Madere and Josh Kline; the greatness of artist David Hammons; the 'asshole artist' schtick of Richard Prince, and how as a critic, Russeth vacillates between covering the underdogs and otherwise under-exposed artists, and those in the biggest arenas whom he feels warrant coverage, sometimes in order to counterbalance their badness; and his love of sweets, his Instagram -ing of them, and the similarity between enjoying art and sweets.

Artist Irena Jurek talks about: her blog featuring artist studio visits, her YouTube studio visit interviews, her curating, and how she was known for these other endeavors before she became known as an artist and ultimately all three (artist, curator, writer); the sexual nature of her art, to what degree it describes her life experiences, and how her work has be responded to with a surprisingly moralistic and Puritanical response in New York among a small but vocal part of the art community; the arc of her career and the seven years she's been in New York, to the point where she's now making a living from her work, and how that came to be.

The Conversation Podcast's first live recording took place on September 9 at Ochi Projects gallery (and was generously hosted by Pauli Ochi). Along with me, the co-conversationalists included writer and independent curator Katie Bode, artist Stephanie Pryor and writer Matt Stromberg. In a nutshell the conversation covered the artist's relationship to the market, or vice versa, through the lenses of--New Museum artistic director Massimiliano Gioni's comment about art being more than 'visual entertainment;' the explosion of abstraction in the marketplace; the paradigm-shifted landscape via technology, in particular Instagram; the roles of collectors, and the new types of collectors, impacting the art world; The show Forever Now at MoMA; and how one's financial background affects, or doesn't, an artist's path as far as more traditional or more experimental.

Julio Cesar Morales, artist and curator at the ASU Museum, talks about: Living in the sometimes conservative culture of Phoenix; his move from San Francisco - where he curated for Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and co-created the artist-run space Queen's Nails - to Arizona, and why he made it; the fire that occurred at Queen's Nails as a result of exhibiting a massive number of flaming matchsticks in the shape of the U.S., a piece by the art collective Claire Fontaine, and the ensuing fines he and his partner had to deal with; curating a George Kuchar film retrospective; and his Undocumented Interventions series, which led to discussion about immigration, border crossing and the future of the international drug trade.

Tulsa Kinney, along with co-host Deb Klowden Mann, talks about coming to Los Angeles from southern Missouri, her art career, which was eclipsed by her writing and then her launch of Artillery, Los Angeles' first glossy contemporary art magazine, in 2006. We talk about the struggles of running and surviving as an art mag, working with writers who are afraid to write critical reviews, the onerous aspects of the art world as Tulsa sees them, and the changing and expanding L.A. art world and how that might be affecting the magazine's future.

Carolina Miranda covers art both high and low, as well as writing the occasional piece about architecture or music. We talk about: her Latina heritage; her philosophy and approach as an arts journalist; the issues around race brought up in her piece on the Donelle Woodford/Joe Scanlon Whitney Biennial scandal; her posts that went viral, including breaking the story that Hello Kitty is not a cat; as well as stories on a velvet painting museum, and a pool in the middle of the desert. Carolina also makes her world debut reading of "Jeff Koons Cut-Up Poem," culled from the many flowery-worded articles about his retrospective.

Conceptual, video and installation artist Marco Rios is also the curator of the Luckman Gallery at Cal State Los Angeles. He talks about the trials of being a curator; the wrath of curators who wanted his job; what he looks for in working with artists on a show; why his best exhibition experience was in an artist-run gallery (in Vienna); and what happened when he was so exhausted he needed to be carried off...twice.
