Artist Alex Pardee (The Used, Aesop Rock) joins Dave to discuss Dream Bleeder, his new gallery show at Harman Projects in New York City. Pardee discusses his creative process, finding inspiration in anxiety and his Disneyland meets natural history museum approach to building immersive worlds. The two discuss Sam Kieth’s mentorship, Curry Barker's Obsession, elevated horror movies, how YouTube is quietly making Hollywood obsolete, and Alex’s prophetic dream about Crystal Pepsi.Thumbnail Photo by Birdmanhttps://www.alexpardee.com/https://www.harmanprojects.com/exhibitions/101-alex-pardee-dream-bleeder/directeditionpodcast.comhttps://www.patreon.com/davengersdirecteditionSupport the show
