Season 2 Episode 0 WTF Happened to Think Tank Gallery

We're back! It's been a while since A.R.T. has posted an episode of our podcast, and a lot has happened in the interim. If you read between the lines (or read the "farewell letter" we published online after the LA Weekly story last year), then you know a bit of what happened, but our host Jacob Patterson takes a moment in this episode to break down what happened and where we're at because of it. If you don't give a damn and want to hear inspiring creators talk about how they're changing the world, skip this one and head over to the first full episode of Season 2 with the CEO of Meow Wolf. 0:18- What has happened to Artists Real Talk? 1:14- Check out the last episode recorded on Artist Real Talk 2:38- Why Think Tank stopped hosting the podcast, and what happened between season one and season two 3:47- Art Director Dino @nunquamdormio 3:52- Jacob's assistant Elsa @hellsuh 4:00- Sleep No More immersive show in New York 5:34- What happened to Think Tank Gallery in general 6:00- LA Weekly following the think tank story 6:16- Listen to Artist Real Talk episode 9 with Scott Hove here: 6:30- Scott Hove 6:37- Read more about the Ghost Ship Fire here: 6:55- LA Weekly 7:02- Think Tank's Farewell letter to DTLA 7:30- Jacob goes into detail about what happened to Think Tank Gallery, what is 939 studio and what is Think Tank gallery doing next. 8:45- Scheduled inspections at Think Tank 10:33- Trap house event 12:23- Eviction notice 13:00 Think Tank creating a community a system where a community can run 16:57- Ammon Rost 18:02- Re branding / splitting the brand 19:47- Think Tanking only hosting rentals 20:25- Moving from DIY to "do it right" the difference between doing it yourself and doing it correctly so that it could live in its highest potential. 23:14- Cleaning up Think Tank to start renting it out 24:38- Does Think Tank have a social responsibility to re-sign the lease? 25:05- Drinkin' Smokin' West' Coastin' event 26:49- Dino the art director of Think Tank, stepping up and helping in inspiring ways. 28:40- Jacob explains how he had to take off his creator hat and put on his business man hat to looking at things more objectively. 31:11- Details about 939 Studio is an event rental site now, when someone wants an artistic collaboration they hit up think tank and from there they will decide if they will pitch it to 939 studio. 33:00- How Think Tank stopped wasting time pursuing things that couldn't be profitable enough to exist and started thinking outside the box 33:45- Think Tank's event Legal Goods Read more about it here: 34:03- You are here ll Shoot a cop 34:35- 35:34- Listen to the podcast where Phil America pitches the Legal Goods idea Phil America: Instagram @philamerica 36:03- 36:25- Jacob explains what Legal Goods was about 36:30- Greg Escalante 39:00- Selling art from convicts in Legal Goods 40:05- Bonita swap meet is located at 620 S Alvarado St, Los Angeles, CA 90057 40:03- How a lot of people got offended about a couple white dudes doing this event and the backlash that came from it 42:19- Check out videos of Jacob hanging out with children during the Legal Goods pop up: 42:29- Legal Goods Zine 42:48- Learning about the neighborhood through the children 43:22- Why Legal Goods was an important show for Think Tank 44:59- DSWC Group art show - a testament to LA 47:40 Check out the book Built to Last Successful: Habits of Visionary Companies 48:40- Meow Wolf giving Think Tank a grant 50:14- Scott Hove 51:15- Drinkin Smokin West Coastin - Group love hate letter to LA 51:54- How Jacob came up with the idea for DSWC Read what people had to say about Drinkin' Smokin' and West Coastin' 59:42- Whitney bell 59:59- Whitney's Dick Pic show 1:00:57-
