Location 1980 Podcast

In this episode the guys chat with Jim Trolinger whose résumé read longer than a CVS receipt. He has made artwork since childhood, and pursued a degree in engineering physics, ascending to doctorate level at a prime time to be amongst the nascent holographers of the world. He eventually founded his own holography company, Metrolaser, and along the way has never stopped making art. He calls it a way of staying calm and sharp. With Location 1980 since the start, Jim has spearheaded many plein air painting adventures to unique desert locations, created some inventive multimedia figure drawing workshops, and helped us publish detailed books chronicling these endeavours and the work that goes into them

The guys are back after a a major hiatus, and the first order of business is where they've been all year. The answer? Numerous gallery events, expansion of the studio, and another trip to That Thing in the Desert - just to name a few. A trip to the top is always a spiral route, and this year set us at Location 1980 up for an explosive 2024.

In this episode the guys sit down with Lauren Kilb, longtime Location 1980 artist whose specialty is interactive art: pieces that once built, are only truly complete when the audience participates in what the piece has set up. In this way, the piece is not a static thing but a context for a conversation to take place between participants and artist, or participants and each other. Those who engage with the piece are elevated from mere spectators and become creators themselves. They have involvement and essentially choice rather than detached viewership. The piece gains an infinity, because the experience of it is as endlessly varietal as the people who engage with it, and simultaneously a deep personality as each person's involvement make their experience inimitably their own.

Hosts Jesse Fortune and Erik Ringman introduce the world to Location 1980, an art collective with a decade plus history hidden in the center of Orange County, California. "The last four letters of artwork, aren't play," says Fortune, weaving together a rigorous, get-it-done discipline and a flowing, felt creativity. They illuminate a thin slice of the enormous history here, where countless events have been thrown, hundreds of artists from around the globe have ushered through, and one of the Southland's longest continuous figure drawing workshops is still hosted.
