Erica Prince’s cosmic thoughts and interest in mid-century modern – a podcast on artblog radio
Erica Prince talks here of her love of mid-century modern objects, many of which become raw material for her sculptural installations. The Canadian-born artist also talks about growing up with a xerox machine in her house when she was a kid and using it for art projects. Her interest in the cosmos also comes from her childhood, as you will hear in this podcast interview.

Beth Heinly on the importance of collecting and community – an artblog radio podcast
Beth Heinly grew up in the Philadelphia area. She draws comic strips (under the title the 3:00 o’clock book) that tell humorous and dark stories from her life and she sometimes creates graphic novels, like a new one “Server Serial Killer” she is working on. (Beth’s day job is being a server at the Irish pub, Fado, so we are guessing she’s got lots of material to work with for her new book.) But Beth’s also a performance artist and a self-taught curator responsible for some great programming at Little Berlin, where she was a member, and now, at Vox ... More » »

Fjord members Lindsay Chandler and A. J. Rombach on curating and Citywide – an artblog radio podcast
Lindsay Chandler and A. J. Rombach moved to Philadelphia after graduating from art school (Lindsay, from RISD, and A.J. from Boston University). They didn’t know each other before moving here but became friends through their network of artist friends. The two artists helped co-found Fjord space on Frankford Ave. last Spring, with a mission to curate other people’s art into the space and not their own. They have studio space in the building’s second floor and the gallery spans the entire first floor. We spoke with them on Feb. 20, at Fjord, where the show on the walls was Wandering ... More » »
Next on artblog radio – Talking with Fjord members Lindsay Chandler and A. J. Rombach
Fjord space on Frankford Ave. began less than a year ago and yet they are high on our radar for their innovative curated shows and programming. We spoke with two of the member gallery’s founders, Lindsay Chandler and A. J. Rombach on Feb 20, and heard about their current exhibit, Wandering Planar, curated by Rombach, and about the gallery’s aspirations. In this clip from our interview Rombach talks about the idea for her show and about the strangeness and wonder of being a painter in a studio. Rombach and Chandler are both artists.

Michelle Post on artblog radio – a podcast interview
Michelle Post’s sculptural Tronies will debut as a permanent installation at Grounds for Sculpture this fall. In our podcast the artist tells us how she received the commission and how she conceived of the ten large portrait heads that sit on plinths like a chorus of grumpy citizen jurors waiting for something to pass judgment on. Post, a self-taught artist who has worked in wood engraving as well as sculpture, showed the original prototypes for her commission at DaVinci Art Alliance last fall and that is where we first saw the amusing characters that are vaguely reminiscent of characters drawn by Daumier. Michelle Post spoke with us ... More » »
Next week on artblog radio – a podcast with Celestine Wilson Hughes
Celestine Wilson Hughes makes large colored glass sculptures that are totemic and sing the praises of the natural world and community. They especially are a celebration of women’s undervalued inner strength, and women’s bodies. Hughes, who has a studio at home in her basement, just started a residency at the 40th St. A.I.R. (Artist in Residence) studios in West Philadelphia. The artist is self taught and her free-standing collages of cut glass, metals, and other objects like beads are wonderful–bright and engaging objects that catch your eye from across a room that you want to explore up close.
