Hi...

The first time Juxtapoz met Icy & Sot, they were an up-and-coming brother-artistic duo, recently immigrated from Iran to USA, working primarily in stencil art. Yet in recent years, their work began to evolve to an almost conceptual level of public and street art, mixing stencil art with sculpture, installation, and at times, spontaneous acts of intervention. They have become some of the most p...

This episode of the Radio Juxtapoz Podcast is a Special Edition, not only because it features a distinguished panel and guest moderator, but we felt that it stood as its own podcast discussion outside of our typical programming.
