Brock DeBoer Describes Umberto Boccioni
<p>We've invited ceramic sculptor Brock DeBoer whose solo exhibition, So Far, was presented at Compound YV in the spring of 2025. DeBoer's work utilizes porcelain, historical motifs and surface treatments to re-contextualize everyday objects and items from his past. He draws influence from his South Dakota upbringing, combined with the ever-changing and vastly diverse landscape of Los Angeles and the Joshua Tree area. In this episode, DeBoer describes two separate encounters with Umberto Boccioni's Unique Forms of Continuity in Space.</p><p>"I imagine it unpacking and unfolding itself as it's tumbling through this space and those really futurist angular lines. It's unwrapping itself and re-wrapping at the same time all the life that's captured in it." </p><p><br></p>

Ayin Es Describes Amy Sillman
<p>"It all starts with the line after all, that magic line that flows from the mind to the hand into the pencil and across the blank page. That's when it hit me that Sillman knows how to utterly transpose raw imagination, which was a skill I'd been chasing after using only my intuition." </p> <p>Multimedia artist, writer, and musician Ayin Es is known for their unusual oil paintings, drawings, collages, and Artist's books. In this episode, they describe their encounter with <em>Elephant</em> by Amy Sillman.</p>
