Artist Perspective: Amy Wilson

This week we are featuring Amy Wilson, an artist based in Jersey City, NJ. In this video, she discusses her views on art making culture, physical space influencing her work, and her perspective on how today's society embraces the do-it-yourself process of creation from beginning to end. Check out more of Amy Wilson's art work at amy-wilson.com

Apologies about the wind, we are working on getting better sound equipment ASAP!

SoapSkeptics has been creating these Artist Perspective short videos as practice and examples as to what our full length documentary film will consist of after we meet with artists across America and film them during our road trip this August. Stay tuned with what SoapSkeptics is doing:

Our Latest Interview with Artist, SEEMORIAH

ARTIST PERSPECTIVE: SEEMORIAH

SEEMORIAH is a multidisciplinary artists with Puerto Rican roots, living in New York City. SoapSkeptics visited her studio and we discussed the differences in the cultures she experiences in her day to day, between the art world of NYC, the Puerto Rican culture, and the New York City culture. She explains the ways in which society and technology have influenced her feminist art practice and she lets us into her world she creates where women are fearless and powerful.

Taking A Break From Work Is Good For You

We have been busy busy the past few weeks, getting our Kickstarter Campaign launched, continuing to interview local artists, edit the films, and creating creations to sell at our local art festival, June Bug!

We decided to take this glorious day and spend it at Round Valley Park in New Jersey. 

GO THERE BECAUSE IT IS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! The water is crystal clear, the trees are radiating good vibrations, and the air is just too good to not breathe. It's always good to get out of the office/studio/home and just explore somewhere new with good friends, and some sandwiches. 

***

Now, we must continue on our work! 

We have a couple "Artist Perspective" 

videos coming to ya'll this week:

One is with SEEMORIAH, a very passionate multidisciplinary feminist artist from New York City. She gives us interesting opinions about living in New York City as an artist and as a Puerto Rican woman. 

Second, we have Boat Shoes, a one man experimental band who uses cacophony at it's finest. He talks with us about being from a small town in New Jersey with little cultural influences, how hip hop shaped his interest in music, and how/why his interest has evolved over time.

"About an Artist" feat. Emma Stern!

On April 3, 2014 SoapSkeptics met up with the talented Emma Stern to discuss what roles culture and art play in her every day life. This film is somewhat of a preview of what our cross country documentary film about art and culture will be like, so please stay tuned for more documentaries and updates about the launch of our KickStarter!!
