Ep. 002 - Jason Patrick Voegele - Renaissance man of the art world

The art world is a complex animal. One of the many arms of the beast, includes the galleries in which artwork is seen, run by a unique blend of personalities who must balance business with creating an inspirational vision that, hopefully, serves both the artists and the artwork. Jason Voegele, artist and curator, has consistently been a passionate advocate for artists, art making and the artistic process. From his early days growing up in South East Asia to his role as founding member of Republic Worldwide and his current role as a part of a curatorial team that runs the Lodge Gallery* on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Voegele explains his philosophical and curatorial ethos as well as his own personal worldview. Voegele regaled us with tales of his auspicious birth, his time as a gymnast and musician as well as his own artistic endeavors. A sort of Renaissance man of the art world, Voegele is a delightful storyteller who left us hungry for more. To be continued! - Music: Low Tide by Silent Partner * Following our conversation, the Lodge Gallery announced it's closing, but where one door closes another one opens and we are excited to hear more from Jason soon about his future projects and manifestations as a curatorial entrepreneur extraordinaire.Support the show
