IntoThis

Informed by Neo-Marxist theories, this exhibition analyzes in a personal rather than cumulative manner the drastic changes in the concept of work observed in the past decade. Through a series of paintings based on the aesthetics of different massive communication systems and schematic representation of information, the artists scrutinize the effects on the creative work, knowledge-based economy as well as the constantly increasing gig economy.

Even though the considerations proposed in this show are the intimate type, the pillow-talk kind of analysis, the same scrutiny could be extrapolated to a wider and more general statement.

Episode #12 - Katerina Pansera

Marx Ruiz-Wilson

IntoThis Podcast is happy to present Episode #12, a conversation with painter Katerina Pansera. Katerina focuses her explorations in contemporary painting on topics such as spectacle, fantasy narratives and setting. Besides her painting practice she also hosts a radio show called Out Of Lines available once a month in CKUT 90.3 FM, in it she interviews artists, curators, etc. you can find the archives to her interviews by clicking here.

In 2015 as a response and critique to the increasing proliferation of privately organized (and expensive) residencies, she founded the De Gaspé Nanoresiency in which an artist is invited to spend 60 minutes in her studio producing art works. For more information about Katerina's work and updates please visit her website.

It was amazing to have had the chance to talk to Katerina for the show and we hope you enjoy Episode #12 as much as we did.

Thanks for tuning in and as always we hope you enjoy this episode.

 

Cheers!

Episode #11 - Julie Côté and Joanie Tremblay

Marx Ruiz-Wilson

Julie and Joanie make Episode #11 of IntoThis podcast. In conversation with Marx, they share the framework on which Projet Pangée is based. As an artists run gallery, Project Pangée was design to be different than a commercial gallery and also different than an artist run center, which are the most prevalent spaces for art showing in the province of Quebec. In this interview they also share their opinions on where artists should be showing their work, what drives them to work so hard to promote contemporary arts and a lot more.

This is one of the most fun interviews we have posted yet and we hope to have them both over again soon for part 2 of the Projet Pangée team. For more information on their very interesting programming and for any other inquiries please visit their website.

Thanks for tuning in and as always we hope you enjoy this episode.

 

Cheers!

Episode #10 - Mark Dudiak

Marx Ruiz-Wilson

In this very generous conversation, Mark Dudiak shares his beginnings in the art world and how important it has been for him to have found in his professors/mentors role models to follow. Navigating the always unpredictable art world can be a wonderful and a rocky endeavour all in a very short period of time. Painter Mark Dudiak shared with Marx his various sources of interest and the mental process by which each of his art projects have to go through before taking form.

In a very interesting take, Mark Dudiak defines a professional contemporary artist as the person who has the "antennas up" and that is always bringing to the table ideas and concepts to discuss about. This and much more in this conversation.  

For more information on Mark Dudiak's world please visit his website. 

Thanks for listening and enjoy the episode :)

Episode #7 - Loreta Lamargese

Download

In the last episode of 2017 we have a conversation with writer and curator Loreta Lamargese, she lives and works in New York city at Arsenal Contemporary. She came over to the tiny studio in January of 2017, when she was still working at Division gallery in Montreal.

We spend a couple of hours talking about everything from social media self-gratification to the exclusivity of the art world. But mainly we talked about some of the socio-political-economic issues that most of the times are ignored even when we can easily see them standing in front of us basically at all times.

This conversation sheds light to Loreta’s critical thinking and leaves the listener thinking in ways in which each of us could effect a small but extremely important change, only if we’d care enough to stand up and do it.

Thanks for reading and listening and we’ll see you in 2018.
