In this deeply personal episode, artist Claudia Baez sits down with her gallerist Martin Friedrichs to reflect on her latest exhibition, My Brother’s Mind, which was showing in Tribeca. Together with co-hosts Matt Nasser and Bartholomew Bland, they discuss Claudia’s creative process, the emotional journey behind working with her late brother’s photographs, and how an unsettling film from their youth (The Night Porter) influenced the work.

Martin shares how he first connected with Claudia and why he believes relationships are just as important as the art itself. The conversation dives into everything from artist-gallery dynamics and the dos and don'ts of being a professional artist, to Claudia’s evolving process and how grief, memory, and sexuality intertwine in her paintings.

This episode is full of insight, candor, and laughter—and a few very real truths about what it takes to make art and be seen in today’s art world.
