BONUS: Interview with Author Ina Cole, "From the Sculptor's Studio"
Hello, ArtCurious folks! I have a special treat for you today: a written interview with author Ina Cole, regarding her recent book, From the Sculptor’s Studio: Conversations with Twenty Seminal Artists. Ina and I wanted to do this as a traditional audio interview or Fireside chat, but ultimately decided to go old-school— which makes this a wonderful ArtCurious first! I very much enjoyed her answers to my questions—which helps us understand the processes of contemporary British sculpture artists. Being a curator of contemporary art myself, I’ve long celebrated one of the benefits of working with contemporary artists: being able to speak with them, pick their brains, ask them to fully describe their works (as much as I’d like to do the same with Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun, unfortunately that’s not possible!). Please enjoy the following conversation with Ina Cole, and seek out From the Sculptor’s Studio wherever you can.

BONUS EPISODE: Banksy's Exit Through the Gift Shop LIVE Q&A at the Alamo Drafthouse
BANKSY! Love him or loathe him, he’s a contemporary art dynamo, an icon of street art success. He’s also an enigma, a playful mystery. Last week-- on April 30, 2019-- I was asked to participate in a special screening of the 2010 Banksy documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop at the Alamo Drafthouse in Raleigh, North Carolina. Exit was part of Alamo’s Film Club series, curated by Jackson Cooper, and after the film I sat down with Jackson to record a special conversation/Q&A about the film, Banksy, and the legacy of street art. Enjoy— and we’ll be back next week with an all-new episode of ArtCurious.
