Sarah Hobbs And The Mystery Of Abandoned Spaces | Episode 46

May 28, 2019 By brainfuzzadmin Leave a Comment

On the heels of a recent solo show, artist Sarah Hobbs hosts Joe and Matthew at her studio. Impressed by the tidiness of the space, the co-hosts are curious if she straightened up just for them. The conversation drifts toward how one keeps a studio while managing the flow of projects and exhibitions.

Because she works with both photography and installation, collection versus hoarding becomes a central topic. Urban and rural exploration are discussed. An interesting movie recommendation is made.
