Episode #058: Adam Farmer, Glitch | Tightening the Gap Between Art and Apology

In this episode we tap into the idea of controlled chaos with Adam Farmer, whose dual role of artist and curator involves a great deal of sacrifice, purposeful improvisation, and something he calls “strategic hoarding”.

Also discussed were stories of extraterrestrial visitations at home, daily trips to the basketball court, and his monday through friday gig at a trucking company.

Get on over to www.avantgauze.com to check out some of his work and be sure peel through the photo albums at www.facebook.com/glitchmemphis to witness the transformation of a living room into a monthly collaborative art experience!

Episode #057: Corkey Sinks, artist/designer

This episode artist and designer Corkey Sinks uncovers demonbabies, tagging turtles in the desert, and we ponder moon landing deniers. Something we missed in the episode is Corkey is the designer over at the Dixon, so when you see upcoming promos there you’ll be seeing her good works. Corkey’s big announcement is Walls Divide Press, a collaboration with her husband Jesse Butcher, bringing back the days of zines and creative publications.
