You can submit your own work, applications are due March 1. In an effort to reach out and spread news about the show you can sign up for my mailing list. I rarely send out mailings, but it is ideal if something I need to tell you is time sensitive. Sign up for the Mailing List here.

New Mediator 73

This episode I talk about SXSW, the Buck Art Show, and the New Mediator comic. (click here to hear the Mp3) Friend and musician Josh Freda is going to SXSW with the documentary he scored. Rewind is a documentary about VHS and the culture the tapes spawned. I’m really proud of Josh and I can’t wait to see/hear the film. The 5th Annual Buck Art Show is March 3, 2013 at Main Street Highland Park. Each artist creates their entries with less than $10 worth of materials from The Buck Stops Here. You can submit your own work, applications are due March 1. Finally NewMediator.org is going to be putting out a web comic. As an artist and lifelong comic fan I thought it would be some fun content for the site.

In this episode Dave LaMorte sits down with Sheena She and discusses the Newark art world, underground Hip Hop, and her website Chainsaws and Jelly. There aren’t a lot of websites that highlight the amazing things that art happening here locally, and Sheena covers a breadth of topics. She really supports her local scene.

There is so much New Jersey love in this episode my teeth hurt from thinking about it.

You should also check out the NewMediator MixTape on our Bandcamp page and our Kickstarter. Support your scene.

For our next project NewMediator.org is still using new media to reach a wider audience and to showcase the work of diverse artists in order to create and foster a greater artistic community. This Summer we are going to host our third independent group show virtually and we need YOUR help! I’ve already done a few gallery shows, but I thought I would create a sound art show that exists on CDs and Mp3s.

My goal is to create a group show without having to have a gallery venue and split the money with the artists. You can preview or Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davidlamorte/newmediator-mixtape) the tracks on our Bandcamp Page - newmediator.bandcamp.com The NewMediator.org Mix-Tape will include music/sound/art/collages by:

Tom Mantzouranis (tommantzouranis.com)

You can hear my previous interveiws with Phillip on this show(http://newmediator.org/?p=22) and on his podcast(http://www.ahtcast.com/2011/04/artist-interview-david-lamorte.html).

Announcing The NewMediator "Mixtape"

teachingthefuture@gmail.com (David LaMorte) — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 14:16:59 PDT

Our newest art show isn’t going to be an art show at all. The next project is going to be a sound art Mixtape (that link will send you over to our Kickstarter page). Instead of gathering work in a single gallery space we are going to bring the art show to you the “viewer”. Each of the artists is going to or has created a piece of sound art for the show that will be part of our Mixtape. {Mp3} You can listen to each of the pieces in their entirety on our Bandcamppage. If you like what you hear and you want to support the artists and me, then you can donate what you can to our Kickstarter. Our kickstarter is going to fund the production of the physical CD and cover artwork. Any funds left over will be given to the artists. About this project

NewMediator.org is a podcast that discusses art and emerging artists, using new media to reach a wider audience and to showcase the work of diverse artists in order to create and foster a greater artistic community. One of the goals of NewMediator.org is to collaborate with talented artists to show their work to a wider audience, and to serve as a model for other artists and artist communities to harness the power of new media to do so as well. This spring we are going to host our third independent group show virtually and we need YOUR help! I’ve already done a few gallery shows, but I thought I would create a sound art show that exists on CDs and Mp3s. My goal is to create a group show without having to have a gallery venue and split the money with the artists.

Jason Barr is a Kansas based artist and podcaster. His podcast ADD on BarrHeaven is one of my favorite podcasts. He interviews top notch visual artist and musicians from all over the spectrum. This is my half of a podcast exchange we did. We also talked about some controversy about some of Jason’s paintings.

NewMediator.org: Death and Art

teachingthefuture@gmail.com (David LaMorte) — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:30:41 PDT

NewMediator.org:

{Mp3}

This episode focuses on some recent art doings, I would say news, but I think that implies to much credibility. I spent some time at the B. Beamesderfer Gallery for the opening of Marsha Goldberg’s new show. All but one of the pieces are part of a new drawing series.

The work focuses more on the act of writing her own kind of lost language. The work is more intimate than the paintings I’ve seen at Alfa Art Gallery. I even had a chance for a short chat with Marsha herself. You should all take a chance to go see this work for yourselves.

Death and Art:

Also in this episode we discuss the death of the Painter of Light, Thomas Kinkade and the final days of gallery and nonprofit Exit Art. Though these two things occupy totally different parts of the art world they are both on my mind. I do want to warn you that I worked at and interned at Exit Art so I am biased.

Today’s episode is an interview with New Jersey artist Marsha Goldberg. She is an accomplished artist who has shown all over the country and internationally. I became familiar with her work when it was on display in two different shows at the Alfa Art Gallery in New Brunswick, NJ.

We discussed painting, her approach to mark making, and her upcoming show at the B. Beamesderfer Gallery in Highland Park, NJ.

Her show’s opening at the B. Beamesderfer Gallery (6 N. 2nd Ave., Highland Park, NJ) is on April 19, 2012 from 5-7 PM.

NewMediator.org: This week I spoke to Julie Torres who is a Brooklyn based artist that I wanted to have on the show for a while. She was also one of the artists I featured in our Volta/Fountain podcast while she was showing with the Bushwick Gallery.

We discuss her approach to painting and how her work is effected by her community and environment.

f you want the chance to see her work in person you can see it at Storefront Bushwick in the Project Space, opening Friday, July 6, 2012.

Today we speak with Hudson Valley artist Michael X. Rose. I met Michael at his booth at the Fountain Art Fair just a few weeks ago and I was totally impressed with his work. I knew I wanted to have him come on to talk about his work, and he was very generous with his time.

Michael paints historical events, mythology, and folk tales and paints them using traditional Renaissance techniques. Though his work seems to take inspiration from folk art, his figures are highly modeled, very detailed, and live in very richly painted landscapes. I love how his work was a mix of folk history and the sublime.

The image in this post is the cover of the full color zine I bought at the fair. It depicts a whole bunch of battles between good and evil throughout historical and religious texts. It is also available for sail along with other work by Michael on his website MichaelXRose.com.
