EP. 4 – Peter Drake – The Man Who Wears Many Hats
Ep. 004 - Peter Drake - The man who wears many hats
You’ve heard of the cat in the hat? Well, this man has no less tricks up his sleeve, not to mention hats, both figurative and actual. Well, maybe just one actual hat that he wears but Peter Drake is one artist that is definitely not standing still. In fact, he’s got so much going on that we were prompted to ask him if he had clones. With over 26 solo shows, including his most recent with Linda Warren Projects in Chicago Re-picture (November 11th, 2017 – January 13th, 2018), curatorial projects such as Piss and Vinegar: Two Generations of Provocateurs, Beautiful Beast, a contemporary representational sculpture exhibition, The Big Picture, and Now and Then: Drawings from the 19th Century to the Present, in partnership with the Dahesh Museum of Art, a public art commission sponsored by the MTA (Waiting for Toydot, 2015)—oh and did we mention that he is Dean of Academic Affairs for the New York Academy of Art? Drake discusses his relationship with his gallery, Linda Warren Projects, his friendships, and the thinking behind his uncanny, dystopian representations of popular culture of 70’s and the suburban myth. Listen to the end to hear the secret of his success. (This interview was recorded on 11/19/2017) Peter has a show with Bernarducci Gallery opening on March 1st so be sure to go check it out after listening to this interview.
