Who’s Right?

“If anyone tells you there is only one way, their way, get as far away from them as possible, both physically and philosophically.” -Jim Jarmusch

I’m reading The Believer: Issue 142, which includes an interview with filmmaker Jim Jarmusch. It made think of this excellent quote of his – life advice, really. Perhaps we have all encountered folks along the way who think like this, who believe that everyone should align with their way of thinking and doing and believing. Or perhaps we have been guilty of this one ourselves, imposing our way on those around us. We can learn from both sides of this experience. People come from as many perspectives as there are individuals on the planet. And part of life is learning – perhaps not perfecting, but always continuing to strive toward – being at peace with the fact that what works for us won’t work for everyone, and that’s OK.

Adrianne Rubenstein joined us to talk about her recent exhibition, Magic Show, which ran through March 16 at Broadway Gallery. The title relates to the act of painting and to the idea of nurturing a magical childhood for her two-year-old. With reference to painting, Rubenstein says she feels a bit like a magician when she works, making things appear and taking them away. To learn more, listen to the complete interview.

Catalina Schliebener Muñoz chatted with us about her recent show with Ad Minoliti, Manifesto of Immature Abstraction, at Barro Gallery in New York. The two met through a mutual colleague and began to discover they shared a lot in common when it came to their particular artistic interest and practices. To learn more about the origins of this artistic duo, listen to the complete interview.
