Even more interesting to consider in the Covid19 Era.

“Always thoughtful and well considered with observations about art, philosophy and human nature interwoven.
Is there a blog space where discussion and engagement can take place?
Listing to the conversation about space vs venue was fascinating. I lived in NYC in the late 70's to early 80's. Almost anywhere you wnt on the LES, or win SoHo or TriBeca offered an oportunity to engage in interesting conversation.
I was single, living in a 1 bedroom apartment with 3 recent college graduates. We worked all day and stopped at places on our way home to find free food at happy hours. So frequently, we were in bars where you would meet all manner of people. I loved the Library where I could play backgammon and listen to others talk while awaiting my turn to make my next move. I remember playing once with a collage artist, much older than I was, Ray Johnson. He discussed every move we both made and compared it to choosing a piece for his collage. Its about observations, strategic thinking, about risk. He gave me a list of places to go to talk to other artists and to see work that would challenge the way I thought. I lived on the upper east side and I was afraid to venture south late at night when a lot of the gatherings occurred, so I generally only caught snippets of what was happening. That was New York then and I think it is still exists there now in places outside of the city, Brooklyn, Long Island City. When people began to "invest" in art, it changed the conversation. There are so many talented artists who will never be "recognized" on the grand scale.Does it matter? I dont need a Picasso to be happy...but I do need original art on my walls...art that has texture...and layers...and thought behind it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and generating long forgotton memeories.”Read full review »

“Phil maps out the problems that many of us have felt or observed in the contemporary art world in a far more articulate way than most of us could. What more, by illustrating theory with real life examples, he makes these criticisms accessible to those who are new to the discussion / listeners...”Read full review »

“Phil has found a way to approachably break down complex subject matter in a way that's both understandable and revelatory. Rich in depth but explained in a bed side manner devoid of pretention. I look forward to more analysis from his curious mind.”Read full review »

“Really good podcast. It gives a quite complete panorama of the subject at hand without getting lost into unnecessary details or succumbing to generalizations. It’s a good intro both to the sociology of art. It allows you to discover the role of art and culture in society through art you might...”Read full review »
