No new Q&A this week, but be sure to check out this week's episode, featuring a phone interview with record producer/musician/sound collage artist, Steve Fisk. We ran a Q&A with Fisk back in July of 2006 - Check it out HERE.

In other news, it's starting to look like we'll be doing another Festival of Appropriation this year. There are some exciting prospects in the works, and we're aiming for a November opening, so stay tuned for more information, along with a call for Minnesota artists.

The FOA started out as a six-month long exhibition at a Minneapolis coffee shop. It moved from there to yearly, month-long shows at venues such as The Rogue Buddha Gallery and alternative spaces such as Theatre de la Jeune Lune and The Varsity Theater. At this point, it looks like we plan to do it about every other year. Check out www.festivalofappropriation.org for more information about this collage, assemblage and mixed media art exhibition.

Don't forget to check out this week's episode (#181) to listen to my phone interview with Steve Fisk, along with nine of his sound collage tracks....

Thanks for listening!
