Field Pod

Join Kris, Jacob and Lisa along with guests Ruth Jeyaveeran and Tracy Le as we chat with Ilona Szwarc about her work during Field Residency! We discuss the different experiences Ilona had at Yale and SVA and her latest project on Seasonal Color in Fashion. This work continues her long term exploration of “the expert” in art, fashion, “beauty,” and photography wherein Ilona takes on the role of the expert, casting “look alike” models along side her to create images reflecting the expert who forms and molds pupils to their image. Some of the topics we discuss are:    The first popular book on the seasons is: "Color: The essence of you" by Suzanne Caygill (We HIGHLY recommend checking this out, it's a wild ride).https://www.amazon.com/Color-Essence-You-Suzanne-Caygill/dp/0890871957  Johannes Itten was a painter and the first person to use the term Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter as it related to color and it was the foundation for the development of seasonal color analysis.  

Shame, trauma, and healing are at the core of SECRETO, a years-long project by María Luisa Portuondo Vila. Field Projects is honored to unveil the first book produced from this work at our gallery NEXT WEEK, so stay tuned and you can meet with María Luisa yourself! Secrets grip us, and we get into grief, love, death, sex, and abuse in this deeply human conversation. We discuss María Luisa's early transition from private theater to community centered public works, and what it means to make projects for the public. Ghostly, haunting thoughts of the pandemic time came together in María Luisa 's project HABITĀR, whose second iteration was completed at Field Projects residency in 2021. This enabled her to make a book that is materially outside the dominant institutional cannon of paper-centric men's publications! We also cover questions around audience participation and how to make institutions chase you (not the other way around!) through process, not product.  PLEASE JOIN US FOR the *SECRETO Book Launch Wednesday October 12, 2022!* Our final take away: Reflecting and openness is not related to money and can't be commercialized, so it is a responsible, anti-market act that helps to better yourself and your community. Be open and love yourself and everyone else you can :) CODA: Perfect Lovers discussion.   TW: There is a brief discussion of childhood sexual abuse around 52 mins, so if that's not for you, we'll see you next time!    SHOW NOTES María Luisa Portuondo Vila @mariap.vila  http://www.mariapvila.com/aboutme MERCURY STORE Theater residency in Brooklyn: https://mercurystore.com/what-we-do/   Joseph Beuys on Social Sculpture: (and was it Medieval?): https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/s/social-sculpture Book rec from Maria: Discourses: Conversations in Postmodern Art and Culture (1990) https://www.google.com/books/edition/Discourses/4pKnyqHfySMC?hl=en   Us Kris Racaniello @krisrac (+for art): @krisracworks Jacob Rhodes @jacobrhodes74 Field Projects @fieldprojects www.fieldprojectsgallery.com Open Call http://www.fieldprojectsgallery.com/open-call Field Residency http://www.fieldprojectsgallery.com/field-residency 

Hand-made paper! Ancient Symposia! Bandages! Jade Suits! Cowboys! Today, Jacob and Kris sit down for a post-Spring/Break interview with artist Fay Ku. Fay was Field Project's featured artist at Spring Break this year in Axonometric Tongue.

Floating Cities! Perspective! Blood, String & Jade!  On episode 1 of FieldPod season 3 Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello dive into fall and, of course, fall in New York means Spring/Break Art Show with Fay Ku! Fay is Field Project's featured artist at Spring Break this year in our exhibition Axonometric Tongue. Ku's immersive, axonometric installation proposes Ming Dynasty art as a radical alternative to the hegemonic eye of single point perspective. Axonometric Tongue flips the hierarchy, generating an alternate, anti-Italian Renaissance timeline wherein single-minded colonialism is eradicated by the contextual poetics of Mandarin structures. On this episode we talk about Fay's formative trip to Rome, and her recent return to Italy to teach in Venice for Pratt. How do “museumified” cities affect us? What changes in space when we change our clothing? How do the poetics of the desert play out differently in drawing than the dynamics of the city? Fay discusses how traveling brings you back to who you are and what you want to be. As an artist born in Taiwan and raised in the United States, Fay also discusses stradling White European renaissance ideals as an artist and her connection with axonometric drawing and historical Chinese methods of perspective.  SHOW NOTES Fay Ku www.fayku.com/ @fay.ku  @springbreakartshow   Check out Fay Ku's work in: Axonometric Tongue   Us Kris Racaniello @krisrac (+for art): @krisracworks Jacob Rhodes @jacobrhodes74 Field Projects @fieldprojects www.fieldprojectsgallery.com Open Call http://www.fieldprojectsgallery.com/open-call Field Residency http://www.fieldprojectsgallery.com/field-residency

For this extended short, join Kris Racaniello as they discuss the impactful exhibition Women at War with curator Monika Fabijanska! This show features contemporary women artists who are working in Ukraine today. Monika and Kris discuss the important role of historiography, gender, family, and representation in shaping perceptions of war beyond the boundaries of  Monika shares many profound observations about the operation of artists at war, including the the difficulty for artists who are those who try to tell a more nuanced view of history than government or institutions. Artists in Ukraine have carried forward, even today during war with Russia, trying desperately to defend the nuance of history.   SHOW NOTES WOMEN AT WAR @ Fridman Gallery, 169 Bowery, NYC @fridmangallery Curated by Monika Fabijanska @monikafabijanska July 6 - August 26, 2022 Featuring artists: Yevgenia Belorusets, Oksana Chepelyk, Olia Fedorova, Alena Grom, Zhanna Kadyrova, Alevtina Kakhidze, Dana Kavelina, Lesia Khomenko, Vlada Ralko, Anna Scherbyna, Kateryna Yermolaeva, and Alla Horska (1929–70) https://www.fridmangallery.com/women-at-war  Moca Martha residency @martha_moca_nj   Us Kris Racaniello @krisrac (+for art): @krisracworks Jacob Rhodes @jacobrhodes74 Field Projects @fieldprojects www.fieldprojectsgallery.com Open Call http://www.fieldprojectsgallery.com/open-call Field Residency http://www.fieldprojectsgallery.com/field-residency

Immortality! Truth! History! FRRRRREEEEEDDDDOOOOOMMMM! Today on the podcast we sit down in Field Projects with Jagrut Raval, our current field resident. We talk about history and myth making, as well as the imaginary of immortality and what it might mean to achieve that. Jagrut is an artist(?) history-maker, fabulator, and chronicler. We discuss his work on the figure Narad, who is, possibly, an immortal time traveler. Be prepared for a candid conversation about time travel, truth, comparative religion and our constructed identities. There is also a subtle undertone of language and belief systems as shaping forces behind our world perspectives. But first join Jacob and Kris as they talk about what's been happening this past week. They talk about the shows they attended both together and separately including The Border Project Space's opening last Friday featuring Kyoko Hamaguchi: Never Since. Kris talks about the opening of Pamela Sneed at Laurel Gitlen and Alexandra Rubenstien's new solo exhibition “The Moon Also Rises” at Mother Gallery. Alexandra will be on the podcast next week!

Truth! Desire! Lack!  Today on Field Pod, Directors Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello sit down with curator Michael Howard and artist El Perez in his current exhibition FROM WHAT I REMEMBER, on the night of the first day of our install.  We discuss class-bias at the moment of entry into the art world and the difficulties of attaining professional development from a position of poverty. In a sprawling conversation we cover topics from painting techniques and validity to the art market, shop class as soulcraft, car crashes, rubbernecking, the ways that stereotypes play on unconscious signals, memorials and their secret stories, as well as desire and comedy in art.  We especially discuss the term “lack” and Elbert's special brand of existential signification.

Healthcare! Freedom! Abortion Rights! + Local Politics! Field Pod takes to the field (or the astroturf at Cadman Plaza) to speak with activists at the Bans Off Our Bodies rally. We hear important, real reasons why people turned up to advocate for abortion as a human right. Then Kris sits down with artist Chiara No for a discussion of Tipper Gore and paparazzi photographs of celebrity vaginas. They talk testosterone, crowning, pregnancy metal and gender pirating. Abortion takes over the conversation naturally from these topics, and Chiara and Kris share their thoughts on the real issues around abortion and autonomy: personhood,  humanity, and freedom.

Field Pod sits down with Field Projects current resident Stacy Kranitz for a talk about her take on documentary photography as a medium best used to question the truth of & in the image. Photographers constantly have to reckon with subjectivity. Stacy explains the ways she has pushed against the medium in her new book AS IT WAS GIVE(N) TO ME, a compilation based on over 12 years spent photographing the community living in the heartland of Appalachia. Incorporating pressed plants, topographic drawings, and preserved spiderwebs alongside her photography and voices drawn from a local newspaper column, Kranitz weaves a complex narrative that opens the history of Appalachia to the reader. Through these juxtapositions of text, image, and drawing a narrative of everyday life emerges in the wake of the systemic capitalist oppression that characterizes this region of the USA.  Before this exciting conversation, Field Projects Co-Directors Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello chat about the residency program and open call process. They talk the gallery/gallerist class system, the origins of Field Projects and the Open Call process, and MONEY and survival in contemporary art. Jacob and Kris wrap things up after the interview with a short list of shows to “go see” right now!    SHOW NOTES Interviewee Social Handles & Websites Stacy Kranitz: @stacykranitz https://www.stacykranitz.com/  Our OPEN CALL: http://www.fieldprojectsgallery.com/open-call  GO SEEs: Recalling the Chimæra, Candace Jensen, Thomas Little & Coleman Stevenson, Amos Eno Gallery @ 56 Bogart Street, May 6- June 5, 2022  Wonder Women, Curated by Kathy Huang, Jeffrey Deitch @ 18 Wooster Street, May 7–June 25, 2022   Art Fair radar last week/this week:  Future Fair: https://futurefairs.com/  Independant: https://www.independenthq.com/fair  Frieze: https://www.frieze.com/fairs/frieze-new-york
