PUTTY REPORT

I regret to inform you that Putty, a live art talk show hosted by the author of this blog, staged monthly at State Street Pub, is THRIVING in its second season.
Beware of your talents, freakos!

It's been an eventful last several months, but I'll let the pictures do the talking:


In April I compared notes with conceptual taxonomist Mark Dion. It was my distinct pleasure to interrogate his professional practices and philosophies, engage him in a game of Over/Under/Correctly-Rated and listen to him read his itemized receipt from Midland Antique Mall like a Sunday devotional.



May marked the official Season 2 premier of the program, where First Season Erin and Second Season Erin clashed in a half-drag power struggle, ultimately retiring to make gentle love to one another (presumably)...



But not before exploring the motivations of sound sculptor John Collins McCormick--fan and friend of boredom and brooms--swaying to the gentle drones of ontological terrorist Gwendolyn.Dot, or taking in some of the scenic vistas of Marc Fischer's Hardcore Architecture!
The prolific Fischer hosted me as a Joong Boo Resident in September 2016. The show offered an opportunity to turn the table and spotlight his discursive practice.
All of this was flatteringly profiled by Charles Fox in the local alt weekly.



This month Art Assignment host and creator Sarah Urist Green applied her extensive knowledge of art history to name a racing horse made out of pool noodles, author Bella Bravo led us through one way to write subjectively, design duo Carlson Garcia provided some deep fried dialogue and St. Louis musician Miss Lady parsed her own love of putty.





Next episode, August 4, will feature photographer Jedediah Johnson, Indianapolis-born/Boston-based Caleb Cole and artist April Knauber.
More to come!
Love,
Erin
