Join host David Humphrey as he invites different artists to talk about the music that matters to them and to select material for each show, with the faith that their playlists will reflect the vitality of their practice.
David Humphrey (b. 1955) has maintained a forty-year commitment to making formally inventive, psycho-socially engaged paintings. Over this time he has continued to transform images from the public realm into imaginative hybrids of the social and eccentrically individual, the historic and vividly contemporary.
In this episode, painter David Humphrey sits down with author Davy Lauterbach, artist Nicole Eisenman, and Trenton Doyle Hancock to reflect on the making of a book dedicated to his work — a conversation produced during the pandemic and guided by producer Todd Bradway. What unfolds is a lively, intimate conversation about art as community, the liberating strangeness of being written into a book, and the ways artists make worlds together. From Humphrey’s mash-ups of figuration and abstraction to Eisenman’s studio memories and Hancock’s reflections on distrust and momentum, the discussion offers a vivid glimpse into how these artists challenge and inspire one another.

Denisse Griselda Reyes
In this episode, host David Humphrey joins artist and filmmaker Denisse Griselda Reyes in the P&T Knitwear sound studio for a vulnerable and playful conversation about queer failure, alter egos, and the messy artistry of self-invention. Reyes discusses their multi-year film project documenting and reimagining 30 dates in New York City, shaped by the chaos of the pandemic and an evolving relationship to performance and persona. Speaking candidly about the liberatory potential of "cooked" intimacy, Reyes and Humphrey reflect on how identity and heartbreak become raw materials for transformation alongside the haunting bolero “Qué sabes tú” by Olga Guillot.
Denisse Griselda Reyes (https://www.DenisseGriselda.com) is an interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker utilizing autobiographical narratives as source material to create contemporary fictions through re-creations in paintings, films, sculptures, and performances.
