Exclusive Episode #073: Artist Ida Applebroog discusses the differences between making work and living in New York City versus her home in Upstate New York.

Ida Applebroog propels her paintings and drawings into the realm of installation by arranging and stacking canvases in space, exploding the frame-by-frame logic of comic-book and film narrative into three-dimensional environments. Strong themes in her work include gender and sexual identity, power struggles, and the pernicious role of mass media in desensitizing the public to violence.

00:00:15 I am not a rural person, I am not a country person, but living in New York you become desperate and the need is very great for city people

00:00:24 to find a place that's quiet that blocks out my Broome Street traffic to the Holland Tunnel sounds all day and all evening long. It’s just very necessary.

00:00:37 There are certain drawings and certain works that always stay here. If I bring a painting from here into the city, I know that the mercy of the city

00:00:48 and is just the whole different way of working in New York. So, I always try to finish whatever I do up here. I love New York. It’s stimulating. I could never live in the country all year round.

00:01:00 I think it would kill me, but with the time that it does serve when I do come here and I stay here about six months, so it's half here and half New York;

00:01:09 each one, each place sort of brings something else to me, but the New York one is, I am a New Yorker and that part I take with me where I go.

00:01:19 In fact when I first came up here, my backdoor I insisted that they put in a peephole, nobody ever comes here,

00:01:28 but I was a New Yorker. I needed to know if anyone was coming from my door. I needed to know who it was and the neighbors thought I was crazy, yeah.
