Location 1980 Podcast

Katya began practicing art later in life, first modeling for figure drawing sessions and then attending as well. Eventually pursuing a full studio practice, she elevated to a level of fantastically expressive work in a very short time. Much of her work focuses on figures and bodies that are highly distorted and exaggerated, often portraying dark, anxious, and uncomfortable themes s

Maneuvering multiple styles and media, Stephanie is a versatile creative both in and out of the studio.  In our last four episodes we interviewed various artists from our F.eminine U.ndertones show; now meet its gallerist & curator (who is herself hanging in the show as well).  Making artwork is only one part of the game - exhibition is another, as is managing the res

Amy Kells is one of 1980's longest running artists and an unfiltered, wide-open-throttle creative to her core. Believing that all people possess an artistic drive from birth, she never saw herself going that direction as a child. But a combination of skill, fortunate intervention, and having tested alternative waters eventually led her to pivot halfway through school from academia

Nancy Anderson and Ruth Geller have been longtime friends of the studio, and have the types of art careers we love to feature: they have both practiced art consistently for decades, evolving through styles and media as mastery of one led to the search for new challenges. Having participated in exhibitions, won awards, and moved around the country, neither seeks the art "scene" so t

Having lived all throughout the USA's west coast and a span in Oz, she has traversed the highs of sold out exhibitions and the lows of residing in garages clandestinely. The art world is one that will by turns exalt you and kick you in the chin, and few embody the will to take a lickin' and keep on tickin' with the same humor and aplomb as Jackie Danger.https://www.jackiedange

Hailing from New York, cutting her teeth in San Francisco, and making SoCal her home, Tracey’s art practice includes large scale murals, traditional fine art painting, and gallery operation. After schooling in graphic design, she decided to go into art production for herself and never stepped foot in an ad agency. She continues to this day, with an approach to life that

Corey swooped in, hosted a solo show less than a year later, then moved out of 1980 for the beautiful vastness of Joshua Tree, where he exchanged his paints for glass. A successful solo operator, he consistently drives himself to up his game by working with other artists and taking classes from innovators in the cutting edge world of glass. Hear about collaborations, invention, and

Today the guys chat with an old friend of Location 1980, Bert Esenherz. He was doing out-of-the-box feats that cannot be classified as performance art, comedy, or improv alone, decades before broadband and social media made this kind of thing commonplace. Many of his events are truly art for art's sake, and evidence mastery of the art of living: that is to say, demonstrat

Victori Violet traverses many worlds with a sly grin, doing expressive performance on a professional level along the way. From Austin, Texas to the Southland she literally learned to dance by playing with fire, has strong ties in the clown community, interprets words & music for deaf people, and has elevated art modeling to an educational profession. The guys chat with Victori,

In this episode the guys chat with Jim Trolinger whose résumé read longer than a CVS receipt. He has made artwork since childhood, and pursued a degree in engineering physics, ascending to doctorate level at a prime time to be amongst the nascent holographers of the world. He eventually founded his own holography company, Metrolaser, and along the way has never stopped making art
