POPULARITY
It's not hyperbolic to say that for many people over the last decade plus, Detroit's 1XRUN has taught many how to collect art. To feel comfortable with it. To see a form of art they love, street art, and figure out a way to have a piece of it in their homes. Through their art print business, their various gallery iterations and Murals in the Market, Jesse Cory and Dan Armand have taken a love of graffiti, street art, storytelling and Detroit and turned it into one of the pillars of print collecting around the world. And now through NFTs, they are once again changing the way we collect. We have been trying to get Jesse and Dan on the Radio Juxtapoz podcast for years, and as we are nearly at the 1-year anniversary of the early NFT craze, we thought it would be a good time for Juxtapoz editor Evan Pricco to chat with the two from their Detroit base as we discussed how the pandemic changed their business, how Glenn Barr changed their strategy in the early years and how their lifelong friendship has allowed them both to have honest conversation about the business of art and the evolution of collecting. The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 083 was recorded in March 2022 in Detroit and Los Angeles. Follow us on @radiojuxtapoz

For episode 3 of the 1xRUN Podcast, I sat down with Humberto Hernandez, AKA Andres, DJ Dez, a Drummer from Detroit or Dez Andres. Since arriving in this city as a teenager he has become a household name. His masterful turntable skills, hypnotic productions, and undeniable conga abilities place him comfortably at the nexus of Detroit's Hip Hop, House Music, and Jazz scenes. You may know him from his conga work on Eyrkah Badu's “Didn't C-ha Know”, produced by J Dilla, or his collaborations with Moodymann, or maybe his highly sought after house releases under the name Andrés on his La Vida imprint. He has been our go-to DJ for all events that 1xRun has thrown and he's also the creator this shows theme song. I sat down with Dez in his home on the Westside of Detroit for this interview.

We speak with Jesse Cory, co-founder and CEO of 1xRUN, a limited edition art print publisher, and Murals in the Market, dedicated to reinvigorating cities with murals by local artists. As an active member of the street art art scene, Jesse has seen his share of copyright infringement cases brought to him by artists he has worked with personally, and continues to fight for artists to maintain and enact their rights over their creations when threatened by brands and media companies. In this episode, Jesse recounts cases he's seen and been involved with, gives us the quick and dirty of VARA and its applications in a few scenarios, the basic rights artist retain over their work on the streets and as prints or originals, and touches upon how social media has become both a blessing and a curse for artists around the world.
