Keep the Channel OpenKeep the Channel OpenMarisa DeLucaThe paintings in Marisa DeLuca’s series Spectre document the changing urban landscape of the city she lives in—Oceanside, California—mourning spaces made ephemeral by the forces of gentrification. In our conversation we talked about the difference between painting and photography, how process affects the ontology of an art object, how audiences make meaning, and the intersection of art and activism. Then for the second segment, Marisa and I talked about spirit of place and the importance of the commons in communities.

Paradoxically, autonomy in this tradition is supposed to secure art’s political dimension by blunting and often deferring...2024-05-031h 42The TransmissionsThe TransmissionsIt's Who You KnowBLACK TEETH Set Predominantly in North Wales, Black Teeth follows the lives of four supernatural investigators over a 50 year period.
