The unlikely pair covers a variety of topics in a podcast series titled ‘Dialogues.’ 

&ldquo;To all the criminals out there: do not follow your obsession, but if you&rsquo;re an artist,&nbsp;go for it.&rdquo;

Perhaps this best encapsulates the fascinating conversation between <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3kjuyTCjPG1WMFCiyc5IuB?si=I4C-oBFwS6S6TwBDsBppBg" target="_blank">Arcade Fire</a>&#39;s Will Butler and visual artist&nbsp;<a href="https://www.davidzwirner.com/artists/marcel-dzama" target="_blank">Marcel Dzama</a>&nbsp;on the latest episode of Dialogues.&nbsp;Butler, the fruit of a Texan polygamous family with a flair for entertainment and Dzama, member an ex-Winnipeg biker gang family with a fascination in antique battle weapons&hellip;this episode explores just how&nbsp;these individuals&nbsp;have found their way into the art world and have crossed each other&rsquo;s paths&ndash;against all odds.

Marcel Dzama has been creating art for as long as he can remember.&nbsp;From stage sets to cover art, TV shows to music videos, this visual artist contemplates how his&nbsp;surrealist&nbsp;art films and ink drawings have managed to permeate&nbsp;into several creative spheres,&nbsp;including&nbsp;his dada-esque&nbsp;contribution to Will Butler&#39;s&nbsp;upcoming solo album.&nbsp;After more than a decade&nbsp;with the award-winning band Arcade Fire, Butler reveals the story behind his decision to go solo and to&nbsp;put music on a year-long hiatus to study Public Policy&nbsp;at Harvard.&nbsp;As the conversation flows from one subject to the next, it is clear that these two creative individuals aren&#39;t afraid to dig deep and to analyze each other&#39;s similarities and differences (including, we might add, a deep&nbsp;connection with Punk culture and a deep disconnection with the current political climate).

Currently, Dzama is one of the visual artists being represented by the prestigious <a href="https://www.davidzwirner.com" target="_blank">David Zwirner</a> in New York City&ndash;an institution that founded the&nbsp;Dialogues&nbsp;podcast.&nbsp;Hosted by Lucas Zwirner (yes, that Zwirner), the unlikely combination of guests on Dialogues&nbsp;provide a unique commentary on &quot;the intersection of music, visual arts, politics&nbsp;and beyond.&quot; Just to give you an idea, previous guests include Jeff Koons, Russell Tovey, Lisa Yuskavage and more.

The latest episode of Dialogues&nbsp;featuring Will Butler and Marcel Dzama is available now.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.davidzwirner.com/podcast">Listen&nbsp;here.</a>
