2MF with Bethany Ides

This episode of 2MF features artist and writer Bethany Ides. Following an off-site meeting with 2MF hosts at Sunview Luncheonette, Ides steps in the studio to discuss operas and soap operas, Mr. Rogers, intramurality and spectatorship, teaching, and the joy of exceeding reasonable expectations.

2MF is a curated series of monthly community meetings facilitated by selected NYC artists. Centering around content relevant to the facilitating artist, these meetings are partially structured and partially improvised. The location of 2MF meetings is intentionally nomadic. In this spirit, each meeting spot is chosen by the facilitating artist, and changes every month. All meetings are free and open to the public. Post-meeting discussions occur at Clocktower Radio. 2MF on Clocktower Radio features conversations with 2MF's meeting-facilitating artists, reflecting, and referencing the recent in-person meeting.

2MF is organized by artists Sonya Derman and Maria Stabio, who began this artist project to promote pro-emotive and anti-academic conversation among artists in New York City.
