===============================================
In this two part interview with sculptor Joel Shapiro and gallerist Jonathan Levine, host Jill Spalding also takes a look at what’s up at 2010 Art Basel Miami Beach. (34 minutes).
Punk gallerist and curator Jonathan LeVine has managed to create a space in the art world where less-mainstream artists can show their work—specifically the spray painting, punk and hip hop, skateboarding, Star Wars-watching rebels inspired by current popular culture. First opening a gallery in 2001 in New Hope PA, then moving to Philadelphia years later, only to move his gallery to Chelsea in 2005, LeVine has managed to establish a space for his artists’ work front and center while at the same time maintaining their anti-establishment spirit. Spalding and he discuss his involvement with 2010 Art Basel—how much can he and Tony Goldman do with free reign on two walls?—and his thoughts on corporate sponsorships, Shepard Fairey’s move to working with Deitch, and what LeVine’s plans are for future projects.
