In this episode of Art Grind, hosts Dina Brodsky, Marshall Jones, and producer Tun Myaing interview writer and entrepreneur Patrick McGinnis in New York City. Best known for coining the term “FOMO” (Fear Of Missing Out), McGinnis seems like an unusual guest: what could someone from the world of finance speak about on an art podcast? As an art collector, writer, and brother of a musician, it turns out that McGinnis has a lot to talk about. McGinnis not only shares pragmatic advice useful for any creative, but is a bold storyteller who respects art and culture. From travelling in South America to renegade drawing exhibitions to Harvard Business School, this episode proves, and McGinnis would insist, that there’s no room for FOMO in a creative life.

In this episode of Art Grind, hosts Dina Brodsky, Marshall Jones, and Tun Myaing road trip to interview artists Alex Kanevsky and Hollis Heichemer in New Hampshire. With the faint sound of crickets setting the stage, Alex and Hollis speak about their different paths to becoming artists and how thought, experience, memory, and painting converge—usually as the same thing. Though Alex paints more representationally and views painting more as investigation, whereas Hollis paints more abstractly and views painting more as insight, they share their “curate[d] life” in agreement that “painting never ends.” Tune in not just for Art Grind’s first episode interviewing two artists simultaneously, but also for an episode which proves as frank as it is profound.Show Notes:1:15 A word from our sponsor: New York Academy of Art - Peter Drake (Provost) & John Volk (Director of Continuing Studies) 13:14: Show begins16:20 : Hollis’ background19:00: Alex’s background35:20: How Alex & Hollis function as an artist couple38:05: What motivates Hollis to paint45:30: What motivates Alex to paint52:30: Alex on artist statements1:02:30: A typical day in the studio1:09:00: How Hollis’ paintings become her own1:10:50: How the outside world influences Alex & Hollis1:16:05-1:16:15: Break1:16:20: Alex on deconstruction in his work1:24:50: Hollis on what makes a good painting1:26:50: Hollis on J.M.W.

Our guest on this episode is Steve Shaheen, a well-known sculptor and stone carver. As painters, we had a lot of questions about the logistics involved in this particular strain of contemporary art-making: what happens when, during a process that is based on removal rather than addition or application, one makes a mistake? How does a sculptor store his works, which typically take up more 3-dimensional space than those of a painter? And how does carving massive blocks of marble that, if left unattended, could persist as they are for centuries to come, affect one's sense of permanence and legacy? Steve gracefully answers all of our novice questions about technique and logistics, weaving in humorous and instructive anecdotes about the hidden deformities of Michelangelo's sculptures and Rodin's incompetence with his own tools. We also get to hear the remarkable story of his leap of faith into a life as an artist at a vocational program in Italy as well as his efforts to erect a 9/11 memorial in his New Jersey hometown.

This installment of the Art Grind podcast features a painter who has been a longtime personal role model for several of the podcast's hosts. Even as he is a creator of absolutely monolithic paintings, Vincent Desiderio, a veteran lecturer at the New York Academy of Art and elsewhere, also manages to be an incredible speaker on the subject of art; laying out an ideological landscape that encapsulates why artists (including Desiderio himself) do what they do and how they do it. Both as a painter and an art theorist, Desiderio seems to inhabit a sort of isthmus, a place which he himself describes to be a liminal boundary which, once you push past it, "you experience something that is absolutely unforeseeable...and that is a total engagement with the process of painting.” In this episode of Art Grind, Vincent Desiderio maneuvers flawlessly between mini-lectures on semiotics in painting, the advance of postmodernity and the elusive avant garde, and the constant reassessment and summoning of drive involved in making one's life as a painter. In recounting his own ongoing battle with this last topic, Vincent enchants us with stories from his own art career, encounters with art critics and other villains, as well as personal crises including the day that a crucial moment of his career coincided with a medical emergency. Resounding through much of these stories and lectures is the concept of 'terror' and of 'opting to thrive' in the face of it -- an undercurrent which is reminiscent of Antonin Artaud's famous claim that "No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.” Written by Michael Gusev.

Frank has been a groundbreaking curator and art dealer in NYC since the mid-1980s.

Dina Brodsky is conquering the art world bird by bird. A veteran cyclist, Brodsky has traveled the world on two wheels, keeping copious notes of her observations and experiences in her many notebooks, illustrated with her minute and carefully drafted pen and ink drawings and watercolor. These notations become food for fodder for her prolifically produced miniature landscape paintings and inform some of her larger pieces as well. Brodsky’s most recent exhibition The Secret Life of Trees at the Bernarducci Meisel Gallery (2016) brought together drawings of tree images sent to her from far and wide, each with their own story to tell. Brodsky talks to us about her own particular point of view on the art scene and recounts hilarious tales of her early artist vagabonding years. The list of characters could well populate a Fellini movie. Small in stature her will to forge on and champion the art she believes in is huge and her stories of failing forward are inspirational for any artist struggling in the daily art grind.Support the show (https://paypal.me/TMARTNY?locale.x=en_US)
