Whose work is it anyways? — Norm Laich’s world as a brush for hire — The art of the collaboration — Is there a viable way to share your work on social media?

Hosted by Lindsay Preston Zappas

Writer’s Room:
Lindsay is joined by Carla contributor, Matt Stromberg to discuss his article from Carla issue 13 called “The Collaborative Art World of Norm Laich,” which discusses Norm’s recent show Brush for Hire at ICA, and his role as a fabricator over the years. We talk about Norm’s work as it pertains to questions of authorship, fabrication, and the role of artist assistants.

L.A. at Large
Lindsay is joined by the man himself, Norm Laich, as well as artist Amanda Ross-Ho—Norm and Amanda are long-time friends, and have worked on a number of projects together. We discuss how they met, the process behind art making, and their experiences as artists living and working in Los Angeles.

Dear Carla:
Lindsay continues the conversation with Amanda Ross-Ho to answer a listener submitted question about posting work on social media, fears of being copied or ripped-off, and the viability of Instagram to reach new audiences or galleries.
