Gem to Gem

In addition to its community live streams, the Gutterblood Talk Show is expanding its programming with the Gem to Gem series.

Gem to Gem, directed by Dio Traverso, features one-on-one conversations that capture the oral histories between two key bellwethers in the heritage of Austin’s current art ecosystem.

Episode 2

Annette Carlozzi with Sue Graze, executive director of Arthouse from 1999-2011, with a short tribute to Laurence Miller.

Next up

Dana Friis-Hansen, director from 2002-2011 and chief curator from 1999-2002 of the Austin Museum of Art (AMOA) with Chris Cowden, executive director of Women and Their Work from 1986 to the present.

Note from Sono

“It was pointed out to me from a future participant in Gem to Gem that they feel uncomfortable being called a gem because they don’t see themselves that way. It’s just what they do instinctually. My answer was that it’s OK if people feel that way about what they’ve contributed. It’s not hubris, it’s fact.

Gems within the Austin art eco-system abound. We’re all gems and are completely surrounded by them. It’s a constellation. For the GBTS, it’s an honor and a joy to shout that out and celebrate it.”
