The Amy Beecher Show

The Amy Beecher Show

Amy Beecher is a visual artist working in installation, digital imaging, sound, and text. In 2013 she created a podcast, The Amy Beecher Show, as an excuse to invite people to her 160 square foot Brooklyn apartment. She's since moved, and The Amy Beecher Show has moved with her. Like an easily amazed and distracted therapist, Beecher opens doors to the inner workings of her subject's artistic lives, inviting guests to reflect on their work, their process, and, mostly, everything else.

I love Pau, and I think you will too.  <...

Bronwen Tate writes poems about sex after miscarriage, among other things. She is brilliant, she is my friend. Recorded from my bed in 2022, I don't entirely remember what we talked about…definitely writing, higher education, friendship, and Barbara Johnson.

NYC Crit Club is a misleading name for the collaborative learning program that Catherine Haggarty and Hilary Doyle founded five years ago. A) You can take classes with them from anywhere in the world B) it's super inclusive (affordable!)- less a club, more a gathering. I'm teaching there in the spring and Mira Fucking Schor is teaching there in the fall..two icons! Listen on for more info. Enrollment opens August 15th.

If I could listen to a podcast and sing The Wheels On the Bus at the same time, I would listen to this week's re-release of my conversation with Jackie Cedar, painter and founder of Good Work Gallery. I recorded it with her during the pandemic, before Ben…the cognitive equivalent of a scene you vaguely remember from a movie you once saw….

Happy holiday week. My gift to you: three things you can do to feel less "meh" about your holiday break.

1)    Donate to the Institute of American Indian Arts, a college and research center in Santa Fe devoted to supporting indigenous American arts. One of my former students goes there.

2)    Attend the last performance of my exhibition at Pari Passu view live stream or in-person.

I think it was early 2019 that I went to see Tracy Molis' last show at Kai Matsumiya. There were two types of paintings on view: paintings of artifacts inspired by an archaeological drawing class she was teaching at Columbia, and then paintings of stills from a Rage Against The Machine music video… a different type of artifact. In some ways, this re-released podcast in honor of her next show a...
