The Art Beef Podcast is about 3 things.
1. Talk/Think About ART (mostly visual, but all arts apply)
2. Cultivating Community
3. Addressing the challenges that come with the first two things
My guests and I discuss all the nuances and complexities within these seemingly simple ideas, to connect and build relation to the same audiences we aspire to reach with our creative practices. Join us for some laughs, some serious moments, some sticky situations, and for the love of art!
This Episode is part 1 of a discussion around the idea that we live in an era that allows everyone to be celebrated for trying or being mediocre. We talk about Slawn's biggest canvas painting and much of his online branding as a parallel to the exhibition on German Expressionism that just opened at the AMFA.
