"Grand Lakes" -- A New Joe Andoe Show on View at Aberson Exhibits in Tulsa

"Untitled, 2015" by Joe Andoe
Aired on Wednesday, December 16th.

On this presentation of StudioTulsa, an enjoyable discussion with the acclaimed artist, Joe Andoe, who is based in New York City and grew up in Tulsa, and whose works are still very much informed by the look and feel of certain parts of our community. (Indeed, on our show today, he refers to East Tulsa as his "muse.") Andoe has a new exhibit on view in Tulsa, which opened last week at Aberson Exhibits on Brookside (near 35th and Peoria). The show -- called "Grand Lakes" -- is the first-ever Andoe exhibition to feature works on paper; several striking paintings also appear in the show, which is on display through January 10th. Andoe talks about the various pieces appearing in this exhibit -- how they were created, when and where they were first dreamed up, how they fit into his larger themes and traits as an artist, and so forth. Also on today's ST, commentator Barry Friedman offers a personal essay entitled "The War on the War on Christmas."

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
