In this solo Single Shot of Lattes & Art, James William Moore takes on one of the strangest rituals in the art world: the artist statement. Why do so many artists sound thoughtful, funny, and fully human in conversation — only to turn into a cloud of institutional fog the moment they have to write about their work? This episode dives into the weirdness of artist statements, the elitist tone so often rewarded by galleries, museums, biennials, and other art institutions, and the pressure artists feel to trade their real voice for something more “serious,” “professional,” or “institution-ready.” James unpacks how that language can become less about communication and more about class signaling, performance, and legitimacy. Along the way, he talks about what artist statements are actually supposed to do, why so many go off the rails, and why this question feels especially urgent right now as his students head into their final project and begin wrestling with statements of their own. Funny, pointed, and candid, this episode is a defense of clarity, honesty, and sounding like a real person — because art needs more invitations, not more velvet ropes made out of vocabulary.

On this episode of  Lattes & Art, James  & Jeff  are on the road to the Palm Springs Art Museum for a walk-through of The Female Form, an exhibition pairing works by Tom Wesselmann and Mickalene Thomas from the collection of the Jordan B. Schnitzer and Family Foundation. What starts as a museum visit quickly opens into a deeper conversation about gaze, power, objectification, presence, agency, and how differently the female body can be framed depending on who is making the image. As they move through the galleries, James and Jeff unpack discomfort, beauty, fragmentation, personality, intimacy, and self-possession, asking what happens when the female form is presented as fantasy, fragment, presence, or power. Then, back in the studio, they reflect on what stayed with them after leaving the museum, what felt unresolved, and how our ways of seeing art — and each other — shift over time. Be sure to check the show notes for images captured in the museum of the works discussed in the episode.

In this episode of Lattes & Art, James William Moore sits down with novelist Sarah Marshall to talk about the many worlds that shape a creative life. From Hawaii and the Sierra foothills to global travel, military service, engineering, spiritual practice, movement, and more than twenty years of participation in Burning Man, Sarah brings a deeply layered perspective to art, identity, community, and transformation. The conversation explores her novel Playa Dust in My Soul, the idea of emotional truth in storytelling, the pull of liminal spaces, chosen family, embodiment, and what it means to live between structure and freedom. Thoughtful, searching, and grounded in lived experience, this episode is a reflection on how creativity can become the place where the many parts of a life finally speak to one another.

What happens when art becomes a tool for conversation, connection, and healing across division? In this episode of Lattes & Art, James sits down with David Deighton — artist, educator, entrepreneur, world traveler, and creator of Triptych Dialogue — to talk about using art as a way to bring people together in an increasingly fractured world. David shares how for the past six years, he has created installations in free speech areas at National Parks inviting strangers to engage across difference, listen deeply, and look for common ground. Together, James and David explore the power of abstract art, public engagement, and meaningful dialogue — especially around subjects many people see as too taboo, too political, or too divisive to touch. This is a conversation about art not just as expression, but as action: a way to rebuild social connection in an age of digital echo chambers.

Public art is a dare—because it doesn’t wait for permission. In this episode of Lattes & Art (presented by J-Squared Atelier), host James William Moore takes you inside the emotional and logistical reality of what happens when a major public installation gets censored. Expo Metro’s Hong Kong edition (originally slated for Dec 5–11, 2025 on Hennessy Road in Wan Chai) was suddenly shut down after a screen owner rejected the show—then the team pulled off a full, collective pivot, relocating the entire exhibition to Rome for Jan 24–25, 2026. James shares the strategic choices he made with his Madame B tarot submission—why he curated a “safer” three-card spread (King of Swords, Three of Swords, Page of Wands), which sharper cards he intentionally withheld, and the hard lesson that sometimes censorship isn’t about one image—it’s about systems that fear unpredictability. This episode is part behind-the-scenes confession, part rallying cry: feel the loss, then find another wall.   Expo Metro: https://expometro.co/en Send us Fan Mail J-Squared Atelier, LLCFor the love of artBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

What if the pieces you live with are also the pieces that move you? In this episode of Lattes & Art (presented by J-Squared Atelier), host James William Moore sits down with Ivelin Yosifov, aka Ivoys—the visionary behind Ivoys Art, where furniture becomes sculpture and the home becomes a gallery. Ivoys shares how he began building his practice from scratch in 2020, teaching himself as he went and trusting the visions in his head to become real-world objects. We dive into his signature work “Superbia,” a futuristic walnut-built music installation with high-end sound, hidden compartments, and interchangeable design elements—crafted by hand tools, not big machines. Along the way, we talk about craft vs. art, embracing imperfections, mid-century modern influence, commissions (his “Make a Wish” approach), and his dream of future upcycled works sourced from around the world.

In this powerful and deeply reflective episode of Lattes & Art, host James William Moore sits down with groundbreaking playwright, director, and author Karen Malpede, a pioneering voice in American theater whose work has shaped socially and politically engaged performance for almost six decades.  Karen’s writing confronts mortality, political violence, environmental collapse, and the ethical responsibility of artists in times of crisis. With the recent release of her memoir, Last Radiance: Radical Lives, Bright Deaths (Vine Leaves Press, October 2025), she reflects on love, loss, grief, and the enduring role of art as a force for witness, resistance, and transformation. This conversation explores what it means to make make space for a form of truth-telling in death and dying, and why we have a responsibility not to look away. Thoughtful, urgent, and deeply human, this episode is a meditation on legacy, courage, and the radical power of creative practice. Lattes & Art is presented by J-Squared Atelier.

In this illuminating conversation, writer and creative Tiffany Smith joins host James William Moore to explore the messy, beautiful process of becoming your authentic self.

When the world feels like it’s on fire — politically, socially, spiritually — what keeps us creating? In this powerful solo episode of Lattes & Art, host James William Moore explores how art has always risen from the ashes of turmoil. From Goya’s haunting Disasters of War and Picasso’s Guernica to the bold voices of Aaron Douglas, Augusta Savage, and David Wojnarowicz, this episode traces the enduring thread of art as activism and creation as survival. James reflects on why artists pick up their tools when silence might seem easier, how censorship reveals fear more than morality, and how art transforms pain into light. He also shares the story behind his own work, Projected Words — a searing response to the homophobia born from ignorance, religion, and power — turning hate-filled language into luminous reclamation. Why We Make Art When the World Is Burning is a call to witness, to feel, and to create. Because when the world burns, art becomes both the record of our pain and the proof of our persistence.

In this episode of Lattes & Art, host James William Moore sits down with emerging artist Read Brown as she prepares for her debut exhibition, Saturation, at Impell Gallery. Read’s journey into art is as unexpected as it is inspiring. She discovered photography as both a healing practice and a way of seeing the world anew. From decisive moments like her striking portrait Maria, to abstractions that transform everyday objects into painterly images, her work invites us to pause, look closer, and find beauty in the overlooked. Together, James and Read discuss creativity born from life’s upheavals, the vulnerability of stepping into the identity of “artist” for the first time, and how art can reflect both the inner self and the outside world.

In this episode, host, artist, and educator James William Moore brings the lens inward — into the classroom, into the photograph, and into a national conversation on race, representation, and responsibility. Building on a previous episode featuring Aneka Brown and the topic of cultural appropriation vs. appreciation, James reflects on what happened when he introduced Gordon Parks’ American Gothic to his art history students. Their reactions were raw, reflective, and deeply aware of the inequality embedded within one of America’s most iconic visual symbols: the flag. Through student voices and Parks’ enduring image of Ella Watson, this episode explores how photography can be both witness and protest — and how the next generation is already seeing with clarity. This isn’t just an analysis of a photograph; it’s a reflection on who gets to define the American narrative, and what happens when we study the rightimages first.

Together, they explore how artists and audiences alike can navigate this complex conversation with empathy, respect, and authenticity.

In this solo episode, I step behind the mic to share a personal reflection on creativity, commitment, and the quiet power of simply showing up for the work. Inspired by my own journey — including the creation of Madame B’s Tarot Readingsand its inclusion in the international art project Expo Metro — we explore how showing up, even on uncertain days, opens doors to unexpected opportunities. One of those doors led to Madame B being included in the Expo Metro Art Tunnel in Barcelona, now on view until June 29th. This public art installation brings together artists from around the world, transforming city spaces into vibrant open-air galleries. You can learn more about the Art Tunnel project here. Whether you’re an emerging artist, a seasoned creative, or someone wrestling with doubt, this episode is a reminder: showing up matters — and sometimes, it leads you all the way to Barcelona. 🌐Expo Metro: https://expometro.co/  🌐Barcelona Art Tunnel: https://expometro.co/en/exhibition/2025-barcelona 🌐Expo Metro Instagram 🎥 Video Podcast Version: YouTube   Send us Fan Mail J-Squared Atelier, LLCFor the love of artBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
