In this episode, David Humphrey interviews artist Jeremy Blake, whose exhibition Sodium Fox was on display at Feigen Contemporary in Chelsea. The two discuss the influence of rock and roll or as Blake describes it, "Poor man's therapy." Blake shares a playlist inspired by the radio station DC101, featuring songs by The Black Keys, Queen, Union Carbide Productions, and Ian Dury, among others. Humphrey highlights how Blake's drawings reflect the same kind of vitality and rawness that is present in the music.
Jeremy Blake (b. 1971-2007, OK) was an American digital artist and painter. His work included projected DVD installations, Type C prints, and collaborative film projects.
