PODCAST: Loney Abrams & Johnny Stanish

April 15, 2018 by SJPC in Podcasts

To celebrate my big birthday, artistic and curatorial duo Loney Abrams & Johnny Stanish stopped by and talked about the history of their alternative exhibition platform, Hotel Art. We discussed the project’s formation, its various nontraditional installations, the recent construction of a shed-as-gallery in their backyard, finding primary audiences online, working with established and emerging artists, whether or not experimental physical gallery spaces have any future in New York, and the value of advocating for a presentation model that can be practiced by practically anyone regardless of their geographical location. We also caught up on their recent collaborative studio projects that are engaging ideas about genetic modifications in humans and the complicated future that these scientific breakthroughs present to the public. I made them play a new game called “What is the Critical Question This Sculpture is Posing?” and they were like okay at it, but rudely pointed out that these were just jokes I came up with that were too long to tweet.
