Artist to Art — 200+ Conversations with Visual Artists, Musicians & Cultural Thinkers

Artist to Art — 200+ Conversations

A long-form interview series with visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, curators, and cultural thinkers.

Since 2020 I’ve hosted Artist to Art — a weekly interview series originally broadcast live on Instagram and YouTube, now with 200+ conversations in the archive. The series began as a way to document creative practice in real time during a period when the art world went entirely online. It became something more durable: a record of how artists think, how they build, and how they sustain a life of making things.

Guests have included visual artists, NFT and digital art pioneers, musicians, curators, gallerists, photographers, filmmakers, and creative directors — spanning Berlin, New York, Pittsburgh, and the international art world. The conversations are unscripted, long-form, and focused on the actual practice of making work: the process, the doubt, the discipline, the breakthroughs.

Why this series exists

Most interviews with artists are promotional. They happen around a show, a release, a launch. Artist to Art doesn’t operate on that calendar. The conversations happen because someone is doing interesting work and there’s something worth exploring. The result is a different kind of archive — less press, more document.

Related projects

The series grew out of, and fed back into, a broader practice of community building: ArtLoft Berlin (50+ events organized), Interloops (immersive theater and sound, including a collaboration with NASA’s lead scientist Jim Green on a sonic/visual journey to Mars), TokenHaus (community leader), and DoinGudHQ (host and NFT/art panel moderator).
