Abundance Zine is a podcast celebrating transformative practices in contemporary culture. Hosted by artist Landon Metz and writer Christopher Schreck, the show features conversations with guests from a wide range of disciplines whose methods speak to contemporary issues while suggesting more rewarding ways of living and working.
Landon and Christopher speak with artist and designer Simone Bodmer-Turner about how notions of “place” can shape the production and presentation of an artist's work. Along the way, we discuss Simone's prior exhibitions with Emma Scully Gallery and Matter Projects, her thoughtful approach to the digital space, and the recent launch of the second iteration of her studio.
