A new season of the Radio Juxtapoz podcast is here, and we start with something that feels quite relevant as we cross-over into the halfway mark of 2024. The concept is this: Truth is a Moving Target, and the artist and exhibition it pertains to is Southern California's Jaime Muñoz who just opened his first solo museum show at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in Los Angeles.


When Jaime makes work, he is thinking about movement, how labor moves through our world, how we get from one place to another, and the illusions that some have about what it means to be labor. I wrote this about Jaime earlier this month prior to the podcast, that he "uses the utilitarian methods to speak about a history of California, immigration, migration, labor commodification and the automobile."


Over the course of this episode, we talk about these ideas and his unique craft of airbrush and ink drawings, through a unique visual collage of the things we see across our commutes and highway landscape and the political truths we tell ourselves in the midst of all of this.


The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 143 was recorded in Los Angeles at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in July 2024. Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@radiojuxtapoz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠
