Welcome to The Bureau of Queer Art, Season 2, Episode 1, the podcast and digital facet of our Mexico City-based Art Gallery Studios. Today, art magnates Michael Swank of Art Gallery Studios and Yessica Torres from Dabster Arts Inc., which boasts spaces in Los Angeles, Ventura, and Austin, share a virtual coffee chat. Their discussion traverses the contours of contemporary art curation, revealing what they prize in artists for their galleries.

Art Gallery Studios sits at the heart of Mexico City's burgeoning art transformation, hosting over 60 exhibitions and multiple local collaborations, reflecting the area's burgeoning international appeal and artistic revival. Swank's role has been pivotal in nurturing this cultural flourish.

Conversely, Torres's expansion into diverse locales reflects each city's unique artistic pulse: Los Angeles's global stage, Ventura's communal roots, and Austin's tech-tinged creative milieu.

Their exchange offers a glimpse into the art curation process, emphasizing professionalism and gallery-artist alignment. They discuss fostering artistic development and the implications of technology on art. Through their dialogue, the constant evolution of the art world is articulated, yet the inherent value of art remains immutable—undimmed by market fluctuations.

In his artistic practice, Cabrera harnesses the power of his own body as the primary tool in his photographic work. Through introspection and a profound exploration of his past, he embarks on a transformative journey, assuming the roles of actor, spectator, and photographer engaged in constant dialogue. Within this intimate process, he unearths the characters and memories that serve as catalysts for his creative expression. The themes of body, gender, and memory take center stage in Cabrera's artistic endeavors. Each of his photographs serves as a window into his personal intimacy, capturing hidden desires, unsettling discomforts, and the intricate web of relationships that have shaped his identity. The images on display in MAITA reflect his unyielding pursuit of self-discovery and the narratives that have shaped him into the artist he is today.

Join us on a captivating journey into the world of contemporary art as we explore OMNI VANITAS, a mesmerizing showcase of collaborative works by the art duo ORT Project. THE BUREAU OF QUEER ART - magazine, media, and podcast (available on all platforms).
Step into the creative minds of Anna Noelle Rockwell and Oona Nelson as they invite you to question the very essence of consumption, abundance, and decay through their lush installations, evocative photographs, and interactive gestures.
Immerse yourself in their unique perspective, where the dining table becomes a stage for painterly nature morte tableaux. Here, ephemeral installations and photographs of both edible and inedible subjects come to life, challenging the conventional view of food as mere nourishment.
ORT Project delves deeper, marinating in the more intricate and visually compelling aspects – from the poisonous to the gluttonous and hedonistic – offering intoxicating critiques of our collective social attitudes and perils.
Blending the essence of art history with the contemporary cult of convenience and abundance, ORT Project's work reflects the pressing environmental threats and distorted value systems of our time. It strikes an uncommon balance between the grotesque and the beautiful, creating art that is not only thought-provoking but visually stunning.

This is a unique artist couple who have participated in our residency programming and have been huge supporters of the project since inception. Therefore, I conducted the interview with them as a duo to see what kind of madness we could reveal. There indeed is madness along with a ton of creativity.

A new episode just released - Messy is Beautiful. A conversation with Jessica Ledwich!

Journey with us as we traverse the captivating landscapes of artistry, igniting connection and expression within the Queer and Allied studio art community. Experience artistry at its finest, unified in both form and content. This is more than a podcast and magazine; it's an odyssey through the boundless realms of creativity.

Messy Beautiful explores notions of collective shame and desire, giving voice to the more unconscious parts of Ledwich’s psyche. With much of her work drawing from themes of perversity and pleasure, she seeks to find a productive tension in the space between desire and taboo to create work that is both erotic and visceral.

Ever since Oli Boyer was a child, they had been experimenting with a gamut of mediums and art practices. It began with pencil drawings which led to mixed media sculptures. Boyer's work has always been a way to communicate with the world, an alternative to difficulties verbalizing thoughts. This grew with age as they experienced more issues with their identity and physical body. Boyer wants us to see the deeper relations of the materials used in the work. They create art that communicates aspects of emotional or physical self-exploration through physical materials, allowing the audience to empathize with and draw their own connections. Many of Boyer's pieces embody highly charged experiences that are difficult to articulate in words. In this interview, we dive into this and their transformation.
