Interactive, Reflective, and BIG Art with Lauren Kilb
Explicit content warning
10/04/23 • 102 min
In this episode the guys sit down with Lauren Kilb, longtime Location 1980 artist whose specialty is interactive art: pieces that once built, are only truly complete when the audience participates in what the piece has set up. In this way, the piece is not a static thing but a context for a conversation to take place between participants and artist, or participants and each other. Those who engage with the piece are elevated from mere spectators and become creators themselves. They have involvement and essentially choice rather than detached viewership. The piece gains an infinity, because the experience of it is as endlessly varietal as the people who engage with it, and simultaneously a deep personality as each person's involvement make their experience inimitably their own.

Brief History of OC's Best Kept Secret
Hosts Jesse Fortune and Erik Ringman introduce the world to Location 1980, an art collective with a decade plus history hidden in the center of Orange County, California. "The last four letters of artwork, aren't play," says Fortune, weaving together a rigorous, get-it-done discipline and a flowing, felt creativity. They illuminate a thin slice of the enormous history here, where countless events have been thrown, hundreds of artists from around the globe have ushered through, and one of the Southland's longest continuous figure drawing workshops is still hosted.
