Episode 23: David Kasprzak

These week I am joined by David Kasprzak, the other half of the Colpa Press team in San Francisco. I met up with David at the Colpa Press basement in the Mission district where we discussed his time growing up in Tennessee, the years he spent train hopping all over the country and the multitude of art projects he has taken on here in the Bay Area.

David’s work is currently on exhibit at the Contemporary Jewish Museum as part of the the show, Jewish Folktales Retold: Artist as Maggid. Visit www.thecjm.org for more info.

Be sure to also visit colpapress.com to learn more about past, present and future projects coming out of Colpa or if you just want to buy some cool prints for your collection. You can also follow Colpa Press on either Instagram or Twitter at @colpapress.

Lastly, thanks again to Richie Cunning for the music.

Episode 16: Amanda Nudelman

This week, Louis is joined by Amanda Nudelman, a former classmate at the University of San Diego who now also lives in the Bay Area. Louis and Amanda got a chance to meet up and discuss what she has been up to since college, including her time working at a tech company and her eventual return to the art world. They also discuss Black Light, an exhibition she co-curated alongside her curatorial practice classmates at the California College of the Arts. Currently showing at the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, Black Light converts the gallery space into a forum for conversation and exchange, taking form as a series of events that address the relationship between cultural institutions and black artists.

To learn more about Black Light and the series of events in conjunction with the show visit the Wattis Institute website or like the “Black Light” Page on Facebook. You can also follow the exhibition on Instagram @blacklight2017.
