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. EXPO Chicago in full effect.
This episode we return to the land of the lost episodes of Bad at Sports. As your friendly neighborhood art world podcasters return to action after a bit of a post EXPO meltdown, we are back in action. And in glorious preparation for NADA NYC we present two fantastic interviews we did in conjunction with NADA in Miami. Art world megaphone jaw dropper, Chloe Wise, breaks down art fashion and how we consume both and the ideas that trail in their wake. Kevin Arrow gets into what is lost as we turn away from Obsolete Media and the joy we can find in rediscovery.
Jennifer Reeder is back! It’s been a decade since our last conversation with the legendary Chicago filmmaker, artist and educator and she has been busy! Her newest feature, Perpetrator, features (the!) Alicia Silverstone and recently premiered at the Berlinale on its way back stateside. Together with Jesse and Brian, Jennifer gets into genre, the short as form and shape, her own personal journey through different mediums and more in a rolicking and fascinating conversation.
This week Amanda and Duncan return to the magic of the passed of Bad at Sports with a brilliant interview with Molly Zuckerman-Hartung! Zuckerman-Hartung kicked off this years set of Dialogoues at EXPO Chicago! And we return to a blissfully naive pre-pandemic artworld while physically celebrating the return to form of EXPO 2023! Editing support by Martin and we did this interview inside a Claire Ashley sculpture in NYC!

Once again Bad at Sports brings back a little audio that we recorded several years ago at NADA Miami which for no good reason never made it to air. We blame our day jobs but these would not have seen the light without the editing support of Martin Ortiz de Taranco!
This week we run into Chambliss Giobbi and circle around model building, portraits, the relationship between an image and its materials. Then we are treated to the driest wit in Chicago by Alex Chitty thanks to Patron Gallery! Thanks to NADA! Thanks to Claire Ashley who provided the work for our booth. And in a rare twist Dana Bassett and Tom Sanford, in the same show!
