My favorite contemporary artist joins me in conversation to launch this season devoted to the working lives of artists. Enjoy our discussion and stick around for the song I wrote about it.
Learn more about Benjamin
here and follow him
on Instagram. Benjamin referenced:
Tobias Wolff,
Bill Evans, Richard Diebenkorn's
Notes to Myself,
Siri Hustvedt on
Giorgio Morandi,
Teju Cole on art and hope,
WJT Mitchell (particularly his book
What Do Pictures Want?), and that moment Miles Davis bends a note in
It Never Entered My Mind. He also discussed
Raymond Carver and read his poem
This Morning.
Giorgio Morandi's Bottles features Marty Kondziolka on drums and was produced and mastered by Brian Trahan. That's me on keys.
