For Season 8, our first guest is Adam Himebauch, a multi-media artist in NYC. Adam is one of my favorite contemporary artists in performance and fine art. He was recently profiled in the New York Times. You can easily spend hours down the Himebauch rabbit hole — which is pure fun, meta, and is multi-dimensional. The best way to describe Adam is “But wait, there’s more.” With each new body of work, Adam delivers an entirely different performance. Adam is constantly evolving his art, as well as himself. Making you question which one is the real artwork.
Adam talks about pushing boundaries in art, reviving 80's amusement park rides, the future of art being grounded in human experiences over AI, and going from grief to gratitude.
