Beth Moore-Love paints amazing, disturbing, reality-shattering artworks. Documentary filmmaker Larry Wessel made a film about her, LOVE: The Art of Beth Moore-Love, which is currently touring across the US. Beth joins us at the Pyragraph studio to talk about her work, her evolution as an artist, working and showing internationally, and what it was like to be the subject of a documentary.

Keif Henley, owner of The Guild Cinema, also joins us to talk about the upcoming film, and about Beth's amazing work.

Host Peri Pakroo is joined by Pyragraph Contributing Editors Josh Stuyvesant and Jeremy Kinter.

Podcast: Beth Moore-Love, Painter and Documentary Subject

Pyragraph Contributing Editor Jeremy Kinter invited special guests into the PyraCast studio to talk about "private art," exploring the question of when art ceases to be "art" and crosses the line into invasion of privacy. Inspired by events that unfolded in New York with photographer Arne Svenson's exhibition titled The Neighbors, Jeremy and his guests explore the intricacies of this topic via a roundtable discussion and interview segments, including:

• Author and artist Jessamyn Lovell interviews her husband Lee Montgomery on drones in art and art surveillance, and
• Journalist Emily Hill interviews New York-based street photographer David Geffin on etiquette and the voyeur behind the camera. 

Hosted by Pyragraph Contributing Editors Jeremy Kinter and Josh Stuyvesant and produced by Jeremy Kinter. Music by The 1960 Sci-Fi Era and Nothng Forevr.
