Christina Rees talks to Terri Thornton, Curator of Education at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of her long-running, acclaimed guest lecture series Tuesday Evenings at The Modern. "I have a real fondness for the brains of artists. People laugh about artists not being good communicators and I just think that’s a load of crap."

Christina Rees and Neil Fauerso on their most bonkers movie-going experiences, and why you should still see movies on the big screen. "The best films of cinema are better than any TV show that’s ever been made… and that really comes through when you see the films in a movie theater."

Christopher Blay, Christina Rees, and guests Heyd Fontenot and Dean Daderko discuss the ins and outs of a successful artist residency. "I want a residency to change my perspective — you want to make something new and to be affected by the space, the place, and the people."

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees discuss what to expect from art in Texas over the next ten years. "I see smaller, more splintered audiences that are more passionate. And then I see this whole other art world that really is about theme-park entertainment."

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees discuss their favorite Texas art exhibitions from the past decade. “I was really shaken by this show. Even talking about it is taking me back to that place.”

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees discuss all of the ways you can gift art in the holiday season. "I try not to be too much of a bully about giving art away as a Christmas gift. I certainly don’t want my friends and family to be like ‘oh my god, here we go with the art again.'"

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees on what makes for a rewarding studio visit. “You can walk into an artist’s studio and it can look chaotic; it can look like a mess. But that doesn’t mean that what’s happening there is chaotic or messy.”

Christina Rees talks with Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth curator Alison Hearst about the museum's acclaimed Focus exhibition series, the politics of art acquisitions, and the work of current Focus artist Martine Gutierrez. "The way the Focus series works here is that we only work with artists who aren't in our collection, so there's a lot of things I'm thinking about when I'm planning these shows: who isn't represented in our collection? Where are the holes in our acquisitions, and also where are the holes in the exhibition programming in Texas and beyond?"

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees discuss whether or not big-name art attractions are worth braving the crowds. "A lot of the art attractions that have a weight behind them are the hallmark pieces of art history, or the pieces that have come into the public eye — like the Sistine Chapel or the Mona Lisa."

Brandon Zech and Christina Rees on the life and work of The Art Guys, a collaborative duo comprised of Jack Massing and Michael Galbreth. "I don’t think that everything The Art Guys did was fun and gentle. I think there could be some nihilism and anger behind the work, and that’s one of the things that makes it very complicated and resonant."

Brandon Zech and guest host Seth Mittag recap the Glasstire DataHack, talk about the wild and crazy things computer programs can do, and discuss why artists should learn about technology.
