Bad at Sports Episode 245: Painters/Painting panel at apexart - a podcast by Bad at Sports

This week: Painters/Painting (aka "The
Painters of Painting") recorded at apexart in late April as a part of the BAS organized exhibition which runs through May 22.

 

Painter and Bad @ Sports NYC
correspondent, Tom Sanford will moderate a panel of 5 other painters who will
talk about painting. Kamrooz Aram, Holly Coulis, David Humphrey, Dike Blair and
Deborah Kass not only represent three or four generations of New York painters
and are all prominent voices among their cohort, but also represent a wide
variety of approaches to the medium. These, "the Painters of
Painting", will discuss the current concerns in painting as well as
painting's enduring relevance as a humanistic and idiosyncratic antidote to the
prevailing corporate culture of consensus and commodification.

Tom's wrap up e-mail sent to all involved afterwards-

Hi Guys

 

I just wanted to send y'all a note to thank the many many
of you who 

came out to the panel and offer my apologies to those who
weren't 

able to get in! I am so sorry that a super turnout put
apexart in the 

position that they had no choice but to not allow a few
people in. It 

was totally packed inside - i actually had an audience
member sitting 

on my lap for most of the talk. But thank you all ever so
much for 

making the effort, i sincerely appreciate the
overwhelming show of 

interest!

 

The incredible turn out certainly speaks to the great
enthusiasm for 

painting in the medium's global capitol city and I think
the talk was 

a success. The panelists (David, Deb, Holly, Dike &
Kamroos) were 

charming and interesting and insightful, i did my best to
keep us on 

course, and Steven Rand and the apexart crew (Cybele,
Julia & Julien) 

were gracious and generous hosts.

 

Best of all the audience has plenty of great questions
comments and 

the occasional well timed out-burst! Special thanks to
for really 

great questions and comments from Daniel Davidson, Alfred
Steiner, 

Michael Anderson, Carlos Fragoso, and George Rodart among
others 

whose names I didn't know - great hustle guys!

 

Anyway, thanks a million for all of your support and
interest and 

remember the most important thing is to keep those
brushes wet - and 

Michael Anderson pointed out with the optimism that we
all share for 

painting and picture making "There are about 9
million new kinds of 

paintings yet to be made!!"

 

Cheers

Tom
