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.
Live from EXPO Chicago! Kalamazoo Institute of Art Chief Curator, Rahema C Barber and artist, writer, and curator Lola Ayisha Ogbara! We chat all things Michigan and just how Kalamazoo came to be a hot bed of Michigan art and thought. Then we check in with Chicago Local Lola Ayisha Ogbara talks about her work all over EXPO, Billboards, the South Side Community Art Center, St. Louis and Chicago, and the African Diaspora.
This week we present the last of the “lost hard drive episodes” and find the thoughtfully strength of Robert Raphael. Interviewed at NADA art fair in New York City by the brilliant Amanda Browder and the amazing Caroline Burghardt.
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.
