James Ostrer
has been known to dress himself in the flayed flesh of pigs and take self-portraits as a commentary on, what? How we’re all encased in the suffering of other animals? How humans are both sacred and just meat? How “art” is both absurd and utterly serious? I don’t know, but James’s work is never boring or pretentious, always provocative and thoughtful.

awesome
Without a doubt one of the best episodes of this year. If Salvador Dalí and Dudley Moore’s Arthur had performed a Thelemic ritual to manifest a Moonchild, that would have been James.
And on a personal note I really appreciate the fact the conversation didn’t shy away from exploring really dark topics. Some of the things said re. suicide resonated with me, and I thank you both for it.
Just got round to listening to this episode yesterday and I absolutely loved it
Funny, deep, everything that I love about a good podcast – 2 hours flew by
You guys have to meet up again
One of the best podcasts episodes anywhere ever. Pissed myself even at serious stuff.
