The Remix Podcast: Cara Ober
Cara Ober was told print was dead and she created a luxurious, insightful, and deliberate print journal for the Baltimore art community. Cara talks with The Remix about how she sees the many facets of her life--both inside and outside the studio--as artwork; how she got a print journal off the ground; how she is a conscious and active member of the Baltimore artworld; and how she marches to the beat of her own drum. Creative collaboration is Cara’s passion and BmoreArt is a tool to capture her local art scene in a generous and generative way. She is doing the thing she looks for in institutions: to “seamlessly and elegantly represent the art from their place but put it into a global context.” Want to get Cara mad? Talk about exclusivity as an inevitable part of the art world, and do it in artspeak. Listen for details on exciting, newly formed and forming projects.
Baltimore Magazine: Art/Life Balance
Cara Ober is the woman behind the longest running arts and culture magazine in the city.
By Lauren LaRocca | May 2019
Cara Ober is relatively easy to spot at an art exhibit preview. It’s not only because of her art-chic style and general confidence and authority when it comes to art, but because she is deeply, passionately inquisitive about the work. Even if you were to close your eyes, you could most likely recognize her by her voice; she is often the first person, in a room buzzing with press, to look directly at the artists and start firing off insightful questions—the ones that either seem too difficult to ask or had eluded others, sometimes even the artists themselves.
