Welcome to Dumpster Pizza Party.

A podcast about art and diy counter culture with your host Craig E. Ross

My guests today are two of the editors of Red Wedge Magazine, Alex Billet and Adam Turl. Listen as we discuss the upcoming changes to Red Wedge Magazine as well as art, politics, marxism, and the popular avant-garde. This show was recorded while getting a delicious brunch at Milque Toast Bar in St. Louis, MO. I’ll never be able to afford a house now after the delectable avocado toast I ate during the recording of this podcast.

Alexander Billet is a writer, poet and cultural critic. His articles have appeared in Jacobin, The Nation, Z Magazine, In These Times, PopMatters.com, New Politics, International Socialist Review, Electronic Intifada and Marx & Philosophy Review of Books. He is an alumnus of Syracuse University's School of Visual and Performing Arts and has been involved in several anti-racist, anti-war and labor solidarity campaigns. Areas of interest include music, literature, theater, the influence of Surrealism and related movements, and dys/utopia. He is a founding editor at Red Wedge  and blogs on matters of music, poetry and performance at "Atonal Notes."

Adam Turl is an artist, writer and socialist currently living in St. Louis, Missouri. He is an editor at Red Wedge and is presently pre-occupied with exploring past and present Marxist strategies in studio art. Turl recently graduated with an MFA from the Sam Fox School of Art and Design at Washington University in St. Louis. His most recent exhibitions were 13 Baristas at the Brett Wesley Gallery in Las Vegas (2015), Kick the Cat at Project 1612 in Peoria, Illinois (2015) and Red Mars (as part of the 2016 thesis exhibition) at the Mildred Lane Kemper Museum in St. Louis, Missouri (2016). He writes the "Evicted Art Blog" at Red Wedge.
