Shockoe Artspeak is a podcast about art, design and how creative work impacts the world in which we live. With a belief that creative practice is a generative force, co-hosts and professors Ryan Lauterio and Garreth Blackwell, PhD, wade deeply into art and design through cringe-worthy experiences, intellectual banter, debunked lies, stretched metaphors and totally random non sequiturs. These long-form conversations and interviews with artists show how important it is for us to know and be known by other artists, while also taking the time to unpack large questions and topics in art, design and professional practice. Shockoe Artspeak is a production of Shockoe Artspace, a non-profit contemporary art gallery in Richmond, Virginia.

Anni Albers is widely considered to be the foremost textile designer of the 20th century. She made major innovations in the field of functional materials and at the same time she expanded the possibilities of single weavings and individual artworks. She was also an adventurous graphic artist who took printmaking technique into previously uncharted territory. ...
Seemingly overnight, every company and social media platform has an AI presence that promises you a better experience, a more efficient engagement, and all the promises of better tomorrows, greater wealth, and a four hour workweek.

This week Ryan, Garreth, and Sam Taylor sit down to talk with Richmond-area painter Rachel Jeffers. In Jeffers’ paintings, domestic objects take on the role of characters, forming a new tableau from one painting to the next. Each painting presents her with new visual problems to solve. A precarious, subconscious logic guides her way to ...
The American imagination has always had a sticky friend in travel. Movement from place to place has defined humanity for as long as we can recount, and travel–justifiably–has occupied our minds not just as a necessary pursuit, but also as a pleasure. Travel is known for many of its finer qualities from education and exposure ...

You’ve likely seen the movie Apollo 13 where actor Ed Harris plays Gene Kranz, the Flight Director for the titular space mission. After some rather drastic problems threaten to strand a crew of American astronauts in space, Kranz utters the phrase “failure is not an option.” Now the situation at hand for Kranz and the ...
Throughout human history, it has always been true that technology is ubiquitous. Paper is technology, pencils are technology, dig troughs for water to irrigate fields is technology. But technology changes, and we cannot assume that all technology is equal. Our digital age has given a great deal toward our perceived advancement, and has left us ...
Stories and narrative are so interwoven into our lives that we likely don’t realize how many times in a day we tell or listen to a story, and we definitely don’t take notice of the way we weave narratives into the reasons and explanations for why we do certain or actions or made certain choices. ...
We’re back! We know, it’s been a minute, but between the new semester, being sick, and general life, things got a bit hectic, but we are all back on track, well, and staving off life for long enough to be in the studio for a few hours. This week Ryan, Garreth and Cody sit down ...
It twas the Season, and it now tis the season: the season for resolutions. Every year, countless folks look back and look forward, hoping to have a new start in a new year. These resolutions have a tendency to all look the same, and the numbers say that it will only be a few weeks ...
Go to any bookstore or do a quick scan of books on Amazon, and you will likely see a number of titles touting joy. They will either be dealing with a topic you should be experiencing joy with like cooking or hiking or some other activity, or they will be self-helping you into a sense ...
The term self-control around the holidays usually is followed by some conversation on over eating or over drinking, but self-control is less about that in this conversation and more about the way we treat others and see the world around us. Our current culture prizes and even rewards reactionary outbursts as vindicating or justice, but ...
With Thanksgiving already in the past, the conversation of gratitude may seem like a non-starter for some, but gratitude is more about an entire mindset and way of seeing the world than as some Hallmark card type one-off statement whenever we may feel some guilt for our silence. Our parents, grandparents, teachers, or someone told ...
While patience may not be the most exciting topic you could think of, patience tells you a lot about what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how you measure success. For artists and designers, patience is easily baked into parts of their process or outlook on career, but impatience may be the ...
I heard about a faculty member at a top-tier art school who got ridiculed by another faculty member because they were teaching art students to run successful businesses. “You’re just turning people into whores,” the faculty member said. The only thing my friend could say was “Well maybe your opinion is bad and wrong.” Just ...
It’s Turkey Day, and we just want to say thank you! We are nearly to 150 episodes, and we couldn’t have done it without YOU! We have so much to be thankful for and all our listeners and friends are definitely on that list. So enjoy the day off, have a big hunk or turkey ...
