UNSTRETCHED

On this week’s podcast, a valley girl and a distinguished professor discuss whether the podcast will survive their vanity, making oversized prints, American taste, Flag Art Foundation’s the Art of the Influence summit, the phenomenon of the Celebrity Artist, Tim’s quick spin around the Armory, Gina’s fried food bacchanal, and what exactly IS a Mahl Stick? 

Gina gets posessed by the spirit of military discipline at her residency at the Headlands, Tim becomes a member of the culturati, they discuss light collabs, destructive nuts, nuclear annihilation, mixing your own paint like Cézanne, openings in NYC and Tim & Gina as your future Tuscan tour guides.

Tim and Gina discuss the influential people who have passed away recently, phallic microphones, the institution of marriage, taxes, the poetry of Wendell Berry, Queer vs. Gay, the Fall semester, Oh Hi! Ohhh, Artist panels with difficult audience questions, Encaustic, Zachary Armstrong's house of paintings at the Weston Gallery in Cincinatti, going to museums with friends, loving yourself through all your eras, post gallery-closing tips, Seriousness vs Humor, whether or not it's possible to waste time in the studio and shows they're looking forward to this Fall.

Tim and Gina discuss summer colds, famous Bay Area painters, visiting Tim's drawing studio, not a penny more for Art school Student loans!! Tim goes to the dark side with his work and comes back victorious. They discuss the exact nature of the relationship you have with your work and memories you've had together, getting ready for Fall, Tim prepares for his classes and they discuss shows that are opening.

Gina and Tim get into FOMO, gatekeeping and power games in the art world, extreme travel, high elevations, sharing bathrooms with strangers, visions of adulthood, kindness, Schopenhauer and the Stoics, cleaning the studio, Project Runway, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Michael Kors, Law Roach, tarot, bingo—and Tim winning big. Somehow, it all makes sense.
