episode 39: Artists JonMarc + Ando Pndlian Talk FLUTTER
Using Language As an Abstract Tool for Communication Through Art, With JonMarc Edwards and Ando Love.
JonMarc studied art at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design where he was drawn to the study of symbols and what they mean. Today he is the owner of MARKET Studio, an exhibition and performance space that focuses on immersive installations, performances, and literary events. Our second guest, Ando Pndlian, is the founder of the Search + ResQ Gallery, which is a multi-disciplinary design studio based in Los Angeles. They implement process driven design with a clear understanding of goals to support creative solutions for meaningful design. Inside this episode we dive into the experience of FLUTTER, an immersive installation that empowers participants to interact and make sense of the linguistic fabric that is all-around us. We also unpack how language and letters can be broken down in an abstract manner, and how to use art as a form of communication across languages and cultural barriers. For an inspiring conversation about our mutual love and passion for art and creativity, be sure to listen in!
