James Kalm arrives in Chelsea sans bike, with the specific mission of seeing and recording the latest exhibition of works by Jonathan Lasker. These paintings continue Lasker's investigation into the operations of perception, as well as how viewers might decipher various visual codes of abstraction. Kalm ponders the relationship of Lasker's use of ultra-thick oil paint with the tradition of "Material Painting" that's developed within European and American Post-War practices, and how this "materiality" might have bee inflected by Pop Art, and Conceptualism. Marc Mueller, a.k.a. Street Mule provides a musical intro. This program was recorded January 16, 2016.
