This week on Bad at Sports, Duncan MacKenzie and Brian Andrews visit the library at GRAY in Chicago to talk with Valerie Carberry, GRAY’s president and CEO, about what it takes to build a gallery across generations of artists, collectors, and communities.
Founded in 2005 by Duncan MacKenzie, Richard Holland, and Amanda Browder. Bad at Sports expanded to a daily article website in 2006 with Christopher Hudgens, expanded it’s broadcast to San Francisco in 2005 with Brian Andrews and Patricia Maloney, Continental Europe with Mark Staff-Brandl in 2006 and New York City in 2007 with Tom Sandford.
Bat at Sports acts as a curious investigator, an archivist, oral historian, and occasionally as a provocateur. They produce content that lies somewhere on the Venn diagram of art, journalism, media, intellectualism, and all the naughty bits. Bad at Sports represents artists and their art world through an archive that is text, audio, physical, ephemeral, historical, and constantly evolving through ongoing and unique projects.
