Frank Prattle with Zefrey Throwell

Matthew Higgs (White Columns)

Matthew Higgs (Director/Chief Curator of White Columns) and I had a splendid interview outside of the NADA Art Fair in Miami (where White Columns had a booth). Matthew Higgs is one of the most popular curators working today and there is a reason for that, not only is he intelligent, but he’s humble, enthused, and producing some of the best shows in the world (a deadly combination if ever there was one). From double teaming as an artist/curator, to a non-profit’s role at an uber-artfair, to Wayne’s World, to Colter Jacobsen, and finally to the meteoric rise of Milwaukee as the art apex for the entire world; this is required listening if you give even half a shit about what’s going on in art today.

David Weinstein (WPS1)

Jeannie Hopper (WPS1) and David Weinstein (WPS1)

David Weinstein (Managing director of WPS1) and I had a lovely interview in the cafe of the Days Inn in Miami Beach. This conversation was a perfect example of how beautiful radio can be when you are interviewing someone who truly understands the medium.  These are my people!   From the roots of WPS1, to the beast of Basel, to David’s history as an artist, to some juicy arty gossip, to the very nature of radio and where it’s going. This communique is not something I would miss if I were you.

Kitty Scott (Serpentine Gallery)

I caught up with Kitty Scott (the chief curator of London’s amazing Serpentine Gallery) on this lovely morning on a Portrero hillside cafe. Kitty is definitely one of the most knowledgeable curators in the field today, but what I truly enjoyed about interviewing her is that it is obvious that she’s extremely impassioned about art. Conversation ranged from musings about her past position at the National Gallery of Canada, to the Serpentine Gallery’s latest show of Damien Hirst’s collection, to how she teaches young curators, to her own personal collection. Excellent stuff!
