Art(s) on the Air - Two-year anniversary chat w/ Tamara, Rob, and David

It's the 2-year anniversary of Rob Hessler handing the podcast over to Tamara Garvey (after having done it for 5 years)!

To celebrate, Tamara, Rob, and David Laughlin - who also did the show for a few year with Rob - met up for a looooong wild chat about Savannah's creative scene and the art(s) of interviewing and writing about it. 

(One thing we all agree on is the excitement of getting feedback from people who are listening to/reading our interviews HINT HINT!)

Topics in our chat include:

Rob insulted his way into a regular writing gig at the Savannah Morning News; the in-and-outs of the current publishing cycle of the SMN; how the nature of the 1-on-1 interview is much easier for (introverted) creatives to talk about their work than at public Artist Talks; how creating each interview episode is an art project in itself; how rewarding it is to interview a burgeoning artist and give them a little boost; particular interviews that have stood out to each of us; the time David recorded a car crash during one of his interviews; the fact that Savannah has been a cultural mecca for years and we are wondering if it has/is peaking (a la Key West), because of housing prices; we each answer a few of David's "studio questions," including a great piece of advice we've each received; Rob talks about a recent article he wrote that has drawn some heat; choosing interview subjects and the necessity of being inspired by each other; "art decorates space and music decorates time;" the shared experience of trying to protect our time and our creative labor when society tries to get these things for free.  

Bonus article David found that related to our talk about Savannah!

Art on the Air

We journey into the field this week, with three on-site interviews!

We head down to the Jepson Center to have a nice, long discussion with Curator Rachel Reese and Artist Suzanne Jackson all about Suzanne’s “Five Decades” career survey exhibition, opening June 28th!

We pop on over to a local coffee shop to sit down with illustrator Kristen Haffke to get all of the details on the book project she’s just completed work for, a lovely children’s story called “Willow & Oliver in The Case of the Missing Sock,” produced in collaboration with NYT best-selling author of ‘Pete the Cat’ Kim Dean!

And we catch up with Kevin Clancy at their new project space “The Hen House!”
