Bad At Sports

Bad At Sports is a weekly podcast about contemporary art. Founded in 2005, the series focuses on presenting the practices of artists, curators, critics, dealers, various other arts professionals through an online audio format.

In addition, contemporary art – and frequently books and movies – are reviewed on the program; contributions come from Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, London, Cologne, Switzerland and Tokyo. Bad At Sports believes that podcasting brings certain spontaneity and raw dynamic quality to the art interview and review; that feeling of casual conversation and spirited debate that is often lost in print format, is fully present in the podcast.

Talking Cure

Talking Cure is a printed quarterly that has addressed the concerns in the Bay Area and the art world in two thematic issues, which focus on artist and writer projects and experimental criticism. Theory has been regarded here like surgery, something used only when absolutely necessary and then by the most skilled practitioners—believing critical theory to be something that can artfully save or change a life, or, when improperly carried out or unnecessarily undertaken, cause needless pain for all involved.

Talking Cure’s content has filtered onto Art Practical as Features, and some of the writing generated online has moved into the printed form. In keeping with the historicizing function of Talking Cure, it sought out writing that moves beyond the topical service of the review, identifying work that stood on its own and expanded a reader’s understanding of art and the world.
