Frank Prattle with Zefrey Throwell

Mads Lynnerup (Artist) and Renny Pritikin (The Nelson Gallery)

This is definitely one of the best interviews I have had the privilege of doing. These two hit it off like they were life long friends. Mads loosened up with a beer and Renny and I stuck to soda and the ball went rolling from the internet to yard sales to New York to the 70’s and the O.G. Tom Thumb and Ricky Jay.

If you don’t listen to this, you are clinically insane.

Bryan Kaplan (Independent School of Art)

Bryan has been keeping things lively at NPR for the past few months with collaborations with ISA as the event coordinator and I figured it was time to get the real scoop on this multi-talented man about town.
Bizarre initiation rites, “Friends” remakes, New Langton madness, and more!

Jennifer McCabe (New Langton Arts) and Justin Giarla (The Shooting Gallery) July 22nd, 2006.

A thrilling interview in the sweltering heat… Well over a hundred degrees that day and these two troopers stuck it out in the radio booth.

Gallery’s in the rougher parts of town, I-5 wasteland, 20 year old prodigies, and more!

Patt Fink and Kathy Grayson

Kathy Grayson (Deitch Projects) and Chris Perez (Ratio 3), two old friends, were supposed to sit in for an interview, but unfortunately Kathy was stuck in traffic on the dreaded bay bridge (believe me, I’ve been there before, it’s the goddamn pits) and wasn’t able to make it to the interview.

As luck would have it though, Chris brought Jose Alvarez an amazing artist who was in town for his opening at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts new show called Cosmic Wonders. The 3 of us prattled on about Jose’s new work, Carlos Castenada, the nature of drugs and art, and every other little thing that came to mind. In addition to being an kick ass artist, Jose is a really cool guy. Great interview.

(Kathy showed up a little later with Oakland artist Patt Fink and we shot the shit curb-style.)

Christian Frock (Catharine Clark Gallery) and Trena Noval (SF Camerawork)

These two lovely ladies came ready to talk; from non-profits vs. galleries, to Eastbay sensibilities, to race issues, they hit it off smashingly.

Chris Perez (Ratio 3) and Eleanor Harwood (Adobe Books & Eleanor Harwood Gallery) stopped by, and with champagne in hand, took to the booth of NPR and gave ‘em hell. One of the spiciest I’ve had so far… loved it!

Joseph Del Pesco (Shotgun-Review.com) phoned in for an interview about what he’s up to in Canada. Residency, bears, bicycles, and the way of the lonely maple leaf… terrific!
