In todays interview we are talking with contemporary art photographer Chris Grunder

Contemporary art does not mean the same thing to 2 different people. If you don't know much about it, it can seem vague. Chris teaches photography as Sonoma State University and he is the co owner of Bass and Rainer a contemporary art gallery in San Francisco. So who better than Chris to give us a proper definition in todays interview.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

  • How Chris got into photography

  • How failing at his first few dozen rolls of film pushed him to shoot more

  • What is contemporary art 

  • Why Chris moved to New York to work with commercial photographers after getting his masters in fine art
