Michael Brennan Talks about painting while priming a canvas in Brooklyn,...

I don't share very many clips from Michael Brennan on here. I don't know why that is, being that I have had many many wonderful conversations about painting with him. He is a wealth of information about painting and paintings history, more in tuned with the contemporary history of painting, which is the type I am more interested in. I decided to share this section from our second interview as I felt it was germane to the situation here. Plus you get to see something you don't see very often with painters. How they prime their own canvases. This seemingly banal subject is one many of us take seriously and with pride.



Thanks Michael for allowing me to film your world of painting. Looking forward to the next session.

Matthew Deleget speaking about Minus Space and Ted Stamm.

On my second journey to Dumbo, I got to hang out and do an interview with Matthew Deleget, Artist/Writer/Curator/Director of Minus Space. We got to speak in detail about the role of Minus Space and the many wonderful artists that have shown there. One in particular was the artist Ted Stamm, who unfortunately passed away at age 39. I'll turn this over to Matthew to tell you the rest.




Enjoy.

More interviews in NYC.

My time in NYC is almost up. Got just a couple days to go before heading back to Columbus via Syracuse. Going to do some more filming with Darryl Hughto and Susan Roth.

So far I have had the pleasure of meeting many more people from this journey. And even got a few more interviews done. One more to go tomorrow, which will be the writer James Panero from the Wall Street Journal and The New Criterion. 

This trip I got to meet and film...
