This week: The first in our series of interview we did in partnership with apexart in New York! Duncan, Amanda, and Richard talk with Stephanie Powell and James Walsh about their experiences in the apexart residency program.
From the announcement:
Meeting Location:
Radial Bench
The High Line
enter @ W 29th St. & 10th Ave.
apexart and Bad at Sports wrap up their season of Resident Talk
collaborations* with Outbound Residents James
Walsh, who traveled to Bangkok, Thailand, and
Stephanie Powell, who traveled to Phnom Penh,
Cambodia. Duncan MacKenzie, Richard
Holland, and Amanda Browder from the Bad
at Sports team will conduct the interview at the Radial Bench on
the High Line off the 29th Street entrance, getting to the bottom
of what exactly the apexart Residency is and what James' and
Stephanie's experiences were during their month away from their
routine.
Before studying art, Stephanie
Powell's initial career interest was in journalism, which
has consistently challenged her to think critically about the
storytelling component of her work. Stephanie is currently living
in Brooklyn, NY, and is a Visiting Professor at Pratt Institute and
Photography Technician at Parsons School of Design. Read more on
her resident
page.
James Walsh has been making visual work in a
variety of media since 1986, and has shown throughout the United
States and in Turkey, Italy, England, and Sweden. He is the author
of three books and numerous unique and limited-edition artist's
books. Read more on his resident page.
Amanda Browder, co-founder of Bad at Sports, is an
internationally shown visual artist who lives and works in
Brooklyn, NY.
Lawyer by day, Richard Holland is the co-founder
of Bad at Sports and co-host of their Chicago broadcasts.
Duncan MacKenzie, co-founder of Bad at Sports, is
a Chicago based Artist / Critic / Writer / Educator / Podcaster and
generally a culture enthusiast.
* Over the course of the series, the Bad at Sports team will
grill and provoke apexart residents in increasingly ridiculous
scenarios while talking art, residencies, the role of conversation,
and the inspiration that comes with travel.
