In the 2080 episode - State of Art, we speak
with Canadian painter David Nicholson about becoming an artist,
the art market and a different perspective on Europe and Berlin.

David tells us of his starting days as an artist and what a
working day in the studio involves. We follow his New York
beginnings and hear about the people and opportunities that
changed his career, including Lauri Firstenberg at Artists Space,
Brussels gallerist Jerome Jacobs and collector Thomas Olbricht.

We discuss making a living from art. We also explore what brought
David to Berlin and how the city’s changing costs affects the art
scene.

David shares a personal perspective on Western values and civic
responsibility and how nothing is worse than praise by the NY
Times...

Our first episode in English has been recorded some moons ago so
there might be some dates in the past.
