Location 1980 Podcast

Step inside the world famous Location 1980 Art Collective, where the champagne toasts and the paint-stained realities of a creative life exist side by side. On the Location 1980 Podcast, hosts Jesse Fortune and Erik Ringman pull up a stool in the studio for conversations that move seamlessly from the business of art to the absurdities of the scene. This isn't a distant, theoretical discussion; it's boots-on-the-ground perspective, fueled by genuine curiosity and a shared laugh. Each episode brings a guest artist into the mix, leading to talks that are as much about entrepreneurial hustle and visual craft as they are about the unexpected comedy found in gallery openings and daily studio struggles. You'll hear the unvarnished stories behind the work-the grit required to build something lasting, alongside the genuine thrill of a successful gala. Fortune and Ringman have a knack for drawing out the specific details and broader themes that matter to makers and enthusiasts alike. Tune in for a podcast that captures the full spectrum, from the practical challenges of running an art practice to the pure joy of creation, all filtered through the unique energy of a collective that's lived it. It’s a direct line to the conversations happening after the lights go down in the exhibition space.
