   Ericka Beckman

   In this episode we dive into the life of Ericka Beckman. A lifelong artist whose journey began in the vibrant art scenes of the 1970s in Los Angeles and New York. Ericka's early work is a testament to her innovative spirit and her deep engagement with moving image, music and sound. She was part of a dynamic community of artists, collaborating with and drawing inspiration from notable figures such as Vito Acconci and James Nares.

   Kenny Schachter

   Kenny Schachter is an artist, curator, art-dealer and critic based in New York City. This episode turned out to be a special one for me, there is so much information in the mind of Kenny that after this 1 hour talk I sensed that I only scratched his surface. When you have a plan and enter Kenny Schachter's dimension nothing will be left of it. It screams for a part 2.
