The conversation spans weaving, sobriety, punk music, queer identity, labor, spectacle, and the ecstatic possibilities of fiber art. Halpern discusses their transition from painting and addiction into weaving, their work with digital looms at Loom Room, and the way embellishment, rhinestones, embroidery, and collage become acts of healing and reconstruction. The episode touches on Chicago\u2019s art community, punk aesthetics, club culture, spiritual labor, and the tension between craft traditions and contemporary experimentation. &amp;nbsp; Name Drops &amp;amp; Links   Tali Halpern \u2014 https:\/\/tali.rocks\/   Twelve Ten Gallery \u2014 https:\/\/twelvetengallery.com\/   NADA Miami \u2014 https:\/\/www.newartdealers.org\/   School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) \u2014 https:\/\/www.saic.edu\/   Loom Room Chicago \u2014 https:\/\/www.lmrmchicago.com\/   Hope Lange \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hope_Lange   Gregg Araki \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gregg_Araki   Nowhere \u2014 https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0119809\/   Mike Kelley \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mike_Kelley_(artist)   Paul McCarthy \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paul_McCarthy   Tracey Emin \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tracey_Emin   Sylvia Plath \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sylvia_Plath   Elliott Smith \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elliott_Smith   Ken Burns \u2014 https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/kenburns\/   Nirvana \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nirvana_(band)   The B-52's \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_B-52s   Guns N' Roses \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Guns_N%27_Roses   Howardena Pindell \u2014 https:\/\/www.garthgreenan.com\/artists\/howardena-pindell   Melissa Cody \u2014 https:\/\/www.garthgreenan.com\/artists\/melissa-cody   Cranbrook Academy of Art \u2014 https:\/\/cranbrookart.edu\/   Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art \u2014 https:\/\/bmoca.org\/   The Weaving Mill \u2014 https:\/\/theweavingmill.com\/   Mikey Mosher \u2014 https:\/\/www.mikeymosher.com\/   Cindy Sherman \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cindy_Sherman   Noelia Towers \u2014 https:\/\/www.noeliatowers.com\/   The Killers \u2014 https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Killers   &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Bad at Sports","author_url":"http:\/\/badatsports.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41398210\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/202235235"}
