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.

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 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.

In this Art Dirt podcast, Brandon Zech and Christina Rees talk about how galleries have changed over the years, the politics of art-as-business, and what Texas artists should expect from their galleries in 2019. "One of the reasons I think artists crave having a gallery is this almost ineffable relationship that forms that’s about dialogue and context. And it’s different from having a network of artists you work with."

In this Art Dirt podcast Brandon Zech and Christina Rees talk about what makes each of Texas' distinct art regions tick.  "If you don't want to play by any rules and you don't give a crap about any sort of establishment codes of how to do things, Dallas could be an interesting place to make your mark."
