The most recent episode of The Harry Tafoya Show is with ➚Drew Sawyer, curator of ➚Jimmy DeSana: Submission, currently on view at the Brooklyn Museum, and writer/curator ➚Jerret Earnest. They talk about coming to DeSana's work through kink, ➚Ray Johnson, ➚Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, and what we can learn from these artists lives today as New York reconfigures our relationships around commerce, scarcity, and competition.

Drew also wrote ➚a book of the same title with this in it's desciption: 

DeSana’s first major project was 101 Nudes, made in Atlanta during the city’s gay liberation movement. After moving to New York in 1973, DeSana became immersed in queer networks, collaborating with General Idea and ➚Ray Johnson on zines and mail art, and documenting the genderqueer street performances of Stephen Varble.

By the mid-1970s, DeSana was a fixture in New York’s ➚No Wave music and film scenes, serving as portraitist for much of the period’s central figures and producing album covers for Talking Heads, James Chance and others. His book Submission, made with William S. Burroughs, humorously staged scenes out of a S&M manual that explored the body as object and the performance of desire. DeSana was also an early adopter of color photography, creating his best-known series, Suburban, in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This body of work explores relationships between gender, sexuality and consumer capitalism in often humorous, surreal ways. After DeSana became sick as a result of contracting HIV, he turned to abstraction, using experimental photographic techniques to continue to push against photographic norms."

Former MPR contributors ➚➚Sam Korman and ➚➚Ted Barrow (joined by coolest skater of all time, ➚➚Jerry Hsu, Lurker Lou, and Akwasi Owusu) discuss why "skateboarding is not a art" but what the two worlds might learn from one another. Among art works discussed:  Dan Graham's ➚➚Skateboard Pavilion, 1989 which reinserts dirty kids into a sterile city center of Stuttgart, Mierle Landerman Ukles' ➚➚sanitation work reconsidering what city maintenance and care work can look like, Ashley Bickerton on expression beyond the branded environment (these are two industries in the business of constructing and selling identities after all), ➚➚AK Burns' & AL Steiner's ➚➚Community Action Center, 2010, on literal orgies with the homies, love, and friendships esp as seen in There's ➚➚"Ruining Skateboarding". Robert Smithson's ultimate spotchecker mission ➚➚A Tour of The Monuments of Passaic, 1979-84, and the concept of non-sites in Jersey, or scrappy places organized around form more than time. Nancy Holt's ➚➚Dark Star Park, 1979-84, reinvigorating forgotten civic spaces and the bureaucracies that govern them with something spiritual, Arakawa and Gins' ➚➚The Site of Reversible Destiny, 1995, is just wacky formalism like early 2000s mega ramps, and Dena Yago's ➚➚Content Industrial Complex on branding, precarious work, and new models for keeping money within a community.

The best critical writing on skateboarding happening right now is on Sam's blog, ➚➚Waxing the Curb. And then find 24+ hours of his radio show, In Conclusion: A Review of Reviews, ➚➚in the MPR archive.

Throughout the past 60 years, The Eurovision Song Contest has mapped out a soft focus, sequinned version of the trials and shifting dynamics that have faced Europe — via boycotts, voting alliances and winning lyrics. The contest is primarily about the songs, but also about soft politics and the drama of nationhood; the myth and reality of the economic, social and political conglomerate called Europe. In May 2020, the Eurovision Song Contest had been cancelled for the first time in its history. As a gesture to fill the void of this absence, The Winner Takes It All presents a programme of audio artworks that make use of or pay homage to the pop song as a politically and socially potent medium. These works make use of the nostalgia, schmalz and escapism of pop music, lyrics that can say both everything and nothing, catchy hooks and ear-worm choruses. They repurpose these qualities to express social and personal anxieties: depending on your level of listening, you can dance along to them or get pulled into their underlying social critiques — or both at the same time. Featuring works by Gabriella Hirst, Rowland Hill, Larisa Crunțeanu and Rosa Johan Uddoh. Gabriella Hirst’s work ’Siren Song’ was co-written and produced by MajiKer. Larisa Crunteau's work ‘A Small Insignificant Love’ was co-written and produced by Electric Brother.
