This week Andrew speaks with Daniel Regenstreif Axe.

Originally from Saint Louis Ohio but currently living in Los Angeles, Axe uses model building techniques to create sculptures that become allegories for stories without providing context or explanation. Absurd narratives are developed through obsessive and calculated crafting with each process carefully considered and chosen for its historic and symbolic significance as much as its technical qualities

This week Andrew speaks with Odeya Nini about sound, phonemes, communication and her latest project Vougheauxice.

Odeya Nini is a Los Angeles based experimental vocalist and contemporary composer. 

At the locus of her interests are textural harmony, gesture, tonal animation, and the illumination of minute sounds, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrete. 

Originally from NY, Odeya holds a BFA in vocal performance from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, where she studied with vocalist Theo Bleckmann, and an MFA in composition from California Institute of the Arts.

She has collaborated extensively with dancers, animators, film makers and theater directors, including Meredith Monk, Lukas Ligeti, Butch Morris and LA based James Kidd. Her works have been presented at venues such as the Whitney Museum of Art, the Hammer Museum, REDCAT, Joyce Soho, Art Basel Miami, HaTeiva in Tel Aviv and Roaring Hooves Festival in Mongolia.

This week Andrew speaks with Blake Morris.

Blake Morris focuses on the production of memories, rather than objects, in order to highlight the transformative nature of art and its importance as something experienced rather than consumed.

Morris uses walking as his primary creative and research practice. Projects have included a yearlong exploration of the public works of Robert Moses, which resulted in over 50 walks throughout the NYC area, and the [untitled] Walk Project, a series of walks that culminated with a walk from Brooklyn to Washington DC. He is a founding member of the Walk Exchange.

We will discuss his latest project Home: A Nomadic Exploration in which he has walked to over 30 homes and lived in them for 3 days each, covering over a hundred miles and staying with friends, acquaintances, and total strangers.

This Sunday. A little later than usual. 6:30PM PST

This week Matthew Broach joins Andrew for a conversation about art and memory in a technological age. Broach's work occupies a space where science, art and technology meet. Trading in a paintbrush for a computer and lab coat, Broach delves into the science of sense, memory and perception often crossing the boundaries between video art, performance and installation. We'll talk about some of his past projects as well as his current 'library project' and the future release from his band Ladies and Gentlemen.

This week Andrew speaks with Jason Dawes. Living in Southern California, Dawes is a ‘would be’ stand up comedian / lead singer in a punk rock band. He regularly photographs himself performing intimate but absurd domestic acts. He once described himself as a “house husband” after a performance that consisted of him ironing clothing blindfolded. He fumbled around feeling for the clothing, reaching for the camera trigger and eventually burned his fingers searching for the iron. We will discuss the fine art, photography, house husbandry and performance art. If you would like to join in the discussion dial 914.338.0532 and press number 1 or email us at AskAndrewEverything@gmail.com.

This week Andrew is joined by Jeff Wengrofsky. A provocateur in his own right, Jeff is a purveyor of obscure but historically important cultural iconoclasts.

With his Syndicate of Human Image Traffickers, Wengrofsky has produced documentary films about poet and Warhol Superstar Taylor Mead, playwright and MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship recipient Richard Foreman, and anti-consumerist gospel shouter Reverend Billy amongst others as well as teaching classes about New York City's cultural history and select topics in the history of ideas at New York University.

As a card carrying Theodor Adorno expert and a Lower East Side native, Jeff Wengrofsky is a consummate history professor with a unique perspective on the radical culture that bubbles up from the New York underground. Be careful because you just might learn something today.
