Bonus Episode – Joe Boruchow

Joe Boruchow is a Philadelphia based muralist and paper cutout artist whose site-specific work is designed to fit into architectural niches and public spaces. He started working in paper cutout in 2003 and has been consistently exploring ways to transcend the traditional medium, translating his designs into large scale murals, graphic novels, fine art prints and metal wall hangings. Inspired by his surroundings, current events and architecture, his black and white installations have become iconic in the Philadelphia region. His work explores themes of race, sexuality, politics, history and art, all through the subtractive art of paper cutout. He currently has a new show "Monster Storm," which is showing at Space 1026 now through January 26th, and in this bonus episode of the podcast Ryan talks with Joe about the new show, working within constraint and not being as "weird" as people think he should be.
