Episode 803: Selva Aparico
Splitting her time between Spain and Chicago, Selva Aparicio is a research based interdisciplinary artist, whose work includes sculpture, installation and performance.

Episode 802: Inga Danysz and Haynes Riley
On today’s harrowing episode of Bad at Sports Center we are back in the WLPN studio (and we brought our old mixing board bumbles with us)!

We discuss the materiality and ontology of Danysz’s sculptural sarcophagi, and our orientation to the physical and metaphysical space they delineate. We also accept the fact that puns have been and will continue to be a part of our process.
