"Radio del Arte" began in March 2004, with local writer Ed Willett, but soon turned into a solo show dedicated to the one-hour interview with artists. Journalist Carle Steel joined me in late 2006, and we were on the air until September 2007, when our show was cancelled. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I loved being able to speak with artists at several points in their careers—like Camille Turner, the artist who performs as “Miss Canadiana”. Felipe & I interviewed during "Untitled" about her work at Neutral ground. We spoke again on del Arte, when Elwood Jimmy curated her into the Dunlop. Similarly, Felipe and I began broadcast with a discussion of Rob Bos's very first show at the Art Projects gallery on 14th. I was able to re-interview Rob several times over the years. He has since opened a new gallery in Regina.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">A very special thank you must be said to all of the artists who came out on a Wednesday morning to share their time on live radio!</p><p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely, Margaret Bessai<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Artists:</p><p class="MsoNormal">Joe Fafard and biographer Terence Heath on the Fafard retrospective (our last show to air)</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Rob Bos in 2007, 2005, 2004, & in 2003 with Untitled</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Pat Close</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Long distance, live to London with Blayne George, on the Tate Triannual</p><p class="MsoNormal">Chad Jacklin</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Jenn Hamilton </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Jefferson Little</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Marlo V</p> <p class="MsoNormal">McCleave Gallery (gallery in a suitcase)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Michel Boutin</p><p class="MsoNormal">Man-Woman, from Vancouver<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Blair Fornwald</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Barbara Meneley</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Pat Hemmingway</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Paul Wong, Vancouver artist</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Sylvia Ziemann, on her first solo exhibit</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Gerri Ann Siwek</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Seema Goel, artist, now in Ireland</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Heather Cline, painter</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Randal Rogers on the social history of illness</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Gail Daggett on designing jewelry</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Holly Fay</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Captain Anarchy, the dishpit paintings</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Don Stein on his audio art, “Stackwalk” at the RPL</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Mark Dudiak</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Camille Turner, Miss Canadiana<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Jeff Nye</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Gerry Ruecker</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Chris St. Amand</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Peter von Tiesenhausen</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Cartoonists:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Real Valuable Comics: Alan Dotson, Brent Braaten</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Gavin de Lint</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Dr. June Madeley on Manga<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Gerri-Ann Siwek</p><p class="MsoNormal">Adrian Stimpson & Joe Fafard on our relationship with animals</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Curators:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Timothy Long (Regina Clay)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Helen Marzolf (Dunlop history)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Donna Wawzonek (Dunlop, Blown exhibition)</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Film makers:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Sarah Abbott</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Trent Carlson, on The Delicate Art of Parking, starring Fred Ewanuick & Nancy Robertson (also in Corner Gas)<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Ian Toews, Gemini Nominee with 291 Film, "Landscape as Muse" and artist Dennis Evans<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Ryan Hill</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Jay Roberts, props maker (Corner Gas etc.)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Golden Sheaf Winners, Don List and Birdsong with Cory Generoux</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Alex MacKenzie, of Vancouver Blinding Light Cinema</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Gerald Saul</p><p class="MsoNormal">John Bessai, Paul Kane documentary<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Saskatchewan Filmpool Co-op, 30th anniversary<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Zarqua Nahwez, Little Mosque on the Prairie</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Don List and artist Bert Adema on the the doc, “the creator sacrifice”</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Lisa Marr on Super 8 films, and past music with CUB</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Steve Wolfson</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Troy Rhodes</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Richard Gustin (SCN 100 Saskatchewan Stories)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Brian Stockton, Saskatchewan trilogy</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Felipe Diaz, on the Filmpool “Drive In”</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Donna Caruso, Clothesline Project</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Dianne Ouellette and Lee Henderson on the Festival of Cinematic Arts</p><p class="MsoNormal">Joan Prowse<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Dance:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Winnipeg Ballet, Cinderella with Cindy Marie Small, soloist on her last show.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Alberta Ballet, Romeo and Juliet</p> <p class="MsoNormal">New Dance Horizons, Robin Poitras</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Winnipeg Ballet, Elizabeth Miller & the Dracula Ballet</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Grasslands Project, Kathleen Irwin</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Theatre:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Hectik Theatre, various productions, dir.
