The Conversation: Michael Shaw

I've blogged about Geoff Tuck's Notes on Looking before, I am definitely a fan of "Word Tiger" Tuck's work there. Recently, I've been listening to Notes On Looking's artist/correspondant, Michael Shaw, who runs a podcast operation called The Conversation: An Artist Podcast. Tag line: "one on one artist interviews, no b.s." I cherry picked a few (lots to pick from) and was able to embed them above. I know Charles Irvin, you can hear his personality here (a funny, wonderful, oddly spiritual guy) and I met Rowan Wood once, his interview here confirms my assessment that he's a very interesting person. I like The Conversation because Shaw tends to drill down into biographical material, a dimension normally left out of normative art analysis. Click on his link, Shaw/NOL has quite a robust archive for such a young operation.
