Jerry Gogosian's Art Smack - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have been creating art for over two decades, and this is the only podcast that truly delves into the inner workings of the art world. It provides insights and strategies for artists to challenge and transform conventional practices. This podcast is essential for any artist seeking to navigate the elitist and opaque art industry, which often appears insurmountable.

I live between New York and LA [in missouri]. I’m fresh out of school and want to understand more how the art world sausage is made, but I don’t have the opportunity to actually live those experiences right now. I read the art journalism and magazines, but it’s such a sanitized and proper depiction of something so much more personal and messy. Jerry and Matt talk candidly about current events, firsthand experiences, and insider knowledge that seasoned industry professionals have. It’s down to earth and realistic in comparison to other art world overviews (don’t get me started on the billionaire circle jerks on NOTA BENE). This podcast rounds out my understanding of things that happen across the country/world with conversation that is a lot like one you’d have with a friend. I’m not a big fan of the instagram account, but the convos and insight jerry has on here are worth listening to.

Jerry & Matt are a fantastically intelligent, entertaining and they've got such a fresh, honest and much needed voice in the art world. They interrogate and expose the inside establishment with their knives out but they do it from a point of passion and optimism. The occasions when Hilde talks about her true love for art and artists and shares what moves her and why it's important the podcast is at its best. At times, the podcast's point of view can become a bit cold and overly immersed in the "business" while leaving behind the love that drives her dedication to art...and the art world. When this sort of energy is in balance the podcast is at its very best.

Super engaging and open. Love the diverse topics and candid conversations
