This week on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with sculptor Vipoo Srivilasa. After immigrating from Thailand to Australia Vipoo has used ceramic sculpture to explore the similarities between his native and adoptive cultures. Over the past 16 years Vipoo has developed a body of porcelain figurines that mixes the blue and white traditions of East Asia with contemporary symbols of Australian identity. His work has been described as "a playful blend of historical Figurative and Decorative art practices with a health dose of Contemporary Culture."
In this two part interview we discuss the artist ego, the gallery system, and breaking into the international art market. For more information about Vipoo's work please visit www.vipoo.com.

Thanks Ben & Vipoo, great interviews!
ReplyDeleteVery relaxed and open & honest & REAL
Glad to hear you enjoyed the interview Adriana. Thanks for listening!
DeleteAwesome convo!I have a teeny tiny request: would it be possible to add some type of show notes, i.e. clickable FB link, instagram, etc. to the interviewee??? Thanks for another great interview. I'm also excited to hear your interviews from the Bray! Be well.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Michael. Ill start adding clickable links for Facebook and Instagram to the posts. Any other thoughts on improving the podcast or podcast related posts? How does it sound? I've been working on the engineering to improve the sound quality but I'm too close to the source to be a good judge of that.
DeleteThanks for the input. I always appreciate some constructive criticism.
It was great listening along while walking in the woods and coming home to eat dinner at Project Art with resident artist and mutual friend, Robin Best from Adelaide and now living in Jingdezhen. The series of interviews from Australia and China gave me a glimpse into her life and the clay community. Having spent a week in Adelaide last year and hoping to travel to China in 2014, the interviews give me a glimpse into what I'm going to see. And what a surprise at the end of the second hour to hear Vipoo discussing how we met in Adelaide and Seattle and the placement of his teapot in the Kamm Teapot Collection. Thanks Ben and Vipoo.
