Vicious Circle

thank you all for listening, going now to make things that are real and not based on some bullshit economy of insecurity,  much love.

Emma Stern is an artist + painter whose work feels like you're pouring hot wax down the front of your brain. we recorded this in person just before the new year <3

A chaotic three way in two parts this is part one: talking over each each other, nonsensical good hang where we discuss presenting as escorts, copper wire, Prada sandwiches, in service of helpless but kind men, being a banana girl, caloric deficiencies, contemporary funeral homes, living your life on-call to pick up dead bodies, ambulance chasing, items of comfort, the feeling of being ready to see a dead body, dead blood in the sewer, being reluctantly popular, cheerleaders, long game courting (list making), de-celebritizing, juul trash pods, and the clinic.

LIL is an artist / presence, we talk about what makes us, plot hunting / plot manipulation, the roof, the analogy of like, as like Instagram, for example, left and right, up and down, poisoning your brain with images, flowchart and rulebooks, art practices in the face of dying digitals, the ability to play with those like, multitudes, and a sense of representation online, and their beautiful output that’s hard to define or understand. Intro performance + songs by Salomé 

we talk drop-ins, talent, brands vs concepts, made in italy, the hat, the newsletter, manipulation tactics, freaking people out, not soliciting feedback or notes, strictly business, martini waves, soph’s never ending creativity,  the lettucetini, making it bottomless, a new frame for thinking, night life as the tv show and the stage, making people money off garbage, blood oaths, looking for patterns, quitting NYFW, the brandy melville content farm, circular cult building, the death of IRL retail, the uniform of a strong man, our dinner at lucien, fandoms and all conspiracies being intentional strat.
