The Open Call Podcast hosted by Anne Stagg and Laura Tanner, features conversations with contemporary artists about their work. 

In this episode of The Open Call Podcast, we talked with Maria Lux who lives and works in Walla Walla, Washington. Maria is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores themes like animal behavior, extinction, and the optimism of science through immersive installations comprised of multiple parts. Her work often employs humor to probe serious subjects. Check out this episode to learn more about her art, working process, and inspirations.

Also check out our Instagram -- @the_open_call_podcast -- where we share images of the artwork that we talk about on the podcast. This episode kicks off Season 3 of The Open Call. Check back every 2 weeks to learn about future guests.
