Lucia Love
Lucia Love joins me to talk about labor, ethics, and Walt Disney's Nazi pals. We touch on how she thinks about angels, and her show at JDJ Gallery in New York. Lucia is a funny, irreverent lady and her curious work hits somewhere between the howling abyss of a fully leveraged future and a good joke.

Lucia Love (b. 1988 in New York NY, lives and works in Brooklyn) attended the School of Visual Arts on a grant from The Foundation for Contemporary Art where they studied painting and animation. Using the logic of keyframing and character design, Love works to create narrative depictions that fuse history and fantasy in order to explore the complex moralities of power. Their recent body of work centers around collective versus individual action, and will be on view in a solo presentation titled Angel Takes The Wheel Feb. 4th 2022 at JDJ Tribeca.
