Episode 30

Art as Social Practice with Ellen Mueller

Published on: 20th April, 2022

It's the 30th Episode for noseyAF yall! How exciting is that?! Today's Episode is celebrated with a conversation with Ellen Mueller, an artist, author, and educator based in Minneapolis.

When I was researching social practice art, I discovered Ellen and came across her book "Some Social Practice." Ellens's work has included social practice, drawing, and time-based work.

In this Episode, Ellyn tells us all about her work that explores issues related to the environment and capitalism as it affects everyday life. She also advises on adding social practice to our art and lives.

I also share a random dating story on littering.

Hit us up and let us know what you think! You can see more of Ellyn's work at: https://ellenmueller.com and follow her IG: @ellenmmueller

noseyAF: Conversations about Art, Activism, and Social Change

Ever wonder what ignites the creative spark in groundbreaking artists and change-making activists? What drives someone to transform their wildest ideas into reality?

I'm Stephanie Graham, artist and filmmaker, and I get wonderfully nosey about the creative process. On this bi-weekly interview podcast, noseyAF, I sit down with inspiring creators, innovators, and rule-breakers every other week to uncover the real personal stories behind their work.

We dig into the messy, beautiful journey of bringing ideas to life – the late-night breakthroughs, the creative blocks, the daily routines that fuel brilliance, and the bold decisions that change everything. You'll discover actionable insights and creative strategies about overcoming challenges, building creative momentum, and turning passion into impact.

As a working artist myself, I weave these podcast conversations into my own creative journey, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and exploring how these inspiring interviews shape my work and perspective.

Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or simply someone who believes in the power of creativity to build a better world, each episode of this inspiration podcast offers practical strategies and that spark of possibility that comes from seeing how others make magic happen.

About your host

Stephanie Graham

Hi there! I'm Stephanie, the creative force behind this podcast!
As a curious multi-disciplinary artist, filmmaker, and Real Housewives scholar, I dive into the fascinating world of relationships and subcultures through conversations with artists, activists, and neighbors. I explore their practices while sharing my journey in art, which includes creating films, photos, and installations focusing on race, social class, and subculture.
Outside of my studio practice and podcasting, I also run Graham Cracker Pins, which offers unique pins that reflect my love for creativity. Although my background involves work in TV and film, NDAs limit what I can share about those projects. Nevertheless, when I can, I do! For more of my art, visit missgraham.com or dive into pin heaven at GrahamCrackerPin.co. Join me as I unravel what others are up to with humor and curiosity.
