Maria Hupfield on the February Edition

You may have seen Maria Hupfield's work recently in the exhibition Beat Nation at the Musée d'art contemporain. She currently has work up at the SBC gallery in a show called Stage Set Stage, on until the 22nd of February. I had a chance to speak with the Canadian-born, Brooklyn based artist a couple of weeks ago, and we'll be airing that interview on the show this afternoon, Thursday February 6th. If you can't listen live, it will subsequently be available for download through the archives.
*** Note this episode aired at 2:00pm rather than our usual 2:30***

Multimedia artist Reuel Dechene joins me in studio to talk about his upcoming exhibition at the McClure Gallery, Chase, which runs from January 10th to February 1st. Dechene uses such materials as Christmas lights and vintage formica to create dazzling wall-mounted sculptures.

That's tomorrow, January 2nd at 2:30 pm. A CKUT exclusive interview!
We'll also give you the scoop on what's showing around town.

On the show tomorrow...

Tomorrow, December 5th, we will air my interview with Janet Werner, painter and professor at Concordia University. A selection of her paintings from the past five years is on view now at the Galerie de l'UQAM.

Artist and writer Cynthia Girard came by the studio for an interview. We talked about her artistic practice and her recent exhibition at the Parisian Laundry. She also read a passage from her book J'ai percé un trou dans ma tête, an excerpt of which appears in translation in the recent publication The Coming Envelope Issue 8.

The program aired on November 7th. (Note: if you are accessing the show through the archives you must advance to around the 30 minute mark (which is 14h30) as the file starts at 14h00)
