In episode 24 of The Rumpus’s Make/Work podcast, host Scott Pinkmountain facilitates a conversation between four artists—Fiona Connor; her brother Jamie Connor, a web developer; artist and writer Brigitte Nicole Grice; and artist Catherine Davis, who works as the manager at the Eames House in Pacific Palisades.
The conversation veers from Marx and labor power to the difference between honesty and truth in art, to public vs. private practices, to Scott’s ignorance about New Zealand, as well as Moondog and a whole passel of other stuff.
I have a day job…and that gives me the freedom to make work outside of the market. I don’t have to make money off it. —Davis
