Summers of Nostalgia: Ross Karlan & Sophia Ballesteros
What happens when the summers of our childhood begin to feel further and further away? In this episode of Sublime Art, we sit down with curators Ross Karlan and Sophia Ballesteros to discuss Everybody I Know Is Growing Old Too Quickly, a group exhibition at Miami’s Laundromat Art Space featuring works by Emma Ortiz, JonLouis Gonzalez, and Justyna Kisielewicz. Together, we explore nostalgia, childhood, memory, and the strange tenderness of growing older. We talk about why summer carries such a powerful emotional charge, how the artists approach innocence and loss, and what it means to hold on to a sense of wonder as time moves forward. A conversation about memory, melancholy, and the bittersweet experience of growing up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

Color Remembers: Justyna Kisielewicz

We talk about migration, agency, and color as resistance — and how the past shapes what we choose to see in the present. Hosted on Acast.

The Labyrinth: Daniel Dugan
During this special episode in partnership with Frieze 91 recorded in May to a live audience during Frieze NYC, we hear from contemporary artist Daniel Dugan. American-Cuban Dugan has had a life-long practice of drawing this labyrinth-like line that never intersects. He has painted the line in all sorts of canvas: wood, fine fabrics, ceramics, bald heads, lawns, sand, wallets. His work is meditative and hypnotic, challenging us to see life not as a maze, but as a labyrinth. This interview took place at Japanese restaurant GG Tokyo, where Daniel was commissioned to paint a mural of his one continuous line.
