Luca Antonucci (co-founder of Colpa Press) is back on the podcast this week to talk about the projects Colpa Press is working on during the quarantine and the current state of the 2020 SF Art Book Fair. He also discusses new features to look forward to at the art book fair.
The 4th annual San Francisco Art Book Fair kicks off this weekend at the Minnesota Street Project and so for this week’s guest I thought it would be great to invite one of the exhibitors: Adrian Martinez. Adrian is a photographer here in the Bay Area, member of the San Francisco Photography Club and co-founder of the art collective Illetante. In today’s conversation we discuss his upbringing in Los Angeles, his immersion into the Bay Area art scene and what to look forward to at the art book fair.

On this week’s episode my guest is Bay Area Artist Lena Gustafson whose work ranges from prints & art books to paintings & murals. All of which utilize beautiful bright colors and the female form. With her partner Peter Calderwood, she also co-owns Night Diver Press where they publish prints, books, zines, and monotypes. Today you’ll hear her talk about her art practice and how it has progressed as well as the work she does with Night Diver Press. In addition, we discussed her move to the east coast for school and the time she spent as a gardener on Martha’s Vineyard.
