Podcast appearances and mentions of Alfredo Jaar

In this episode of The Art Career, Emily travels to Galerie Lelong & Co in Chelsea to sit down with gallerist Mary Sabbatino. Mary Sabbatino is Vice President and Partner of Galerie Lelong & Co., New York. She was appointed director of the New York location of Galerie Lelong & Co. in 1991 and became a gallery partner in 2007. In 2021, she was awarded the prestigious Chevalier de L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) from the Government of France. Championing a diverse roster of contemporary artists from throughout the world, the gallery has pioneered the community both in presenting a balanced roster of male and female artists, and artists from the Global South. Contributing to the overarching contemporary art scene, she served on the boards of ArtTable and the Executive Board of the Art Dealers' Association of America, during which she initiated and co-authored the ADAA's first code of ethics.

Matías Rivas. Arturo Fontaine y Sofía García-Huidobro recomendaron libros imperdibles "La ciudad de los perros" de Mario Vargas Llosa y "Rayuela" de Julio Cortázar  y la exposición "El lado oscuro de la luna" de Alfredo Jaar.

Polo Ramírez en Figura y Fondo estuvo con César Gabler comentando las exposiciones "Chile: Amnesia de la verdad" de Carlos Arias y "El lado oscuro de la Luna" de Alfredo Jaar. Además, junto Francisco Aravena conversaron con Dra. Úrsula Wyneken. Investigadora del Centro de Investigación e Innovación Biomédica de la Universidad de los Andes y del Centro de Excelencia IMPACT UANDES sobre esta herramienta que apunta a un diagnóstico temprano de esta alteración, de manera que los pacientes puedan trabajar en acciones junto a sus médicos y en cambios de estilo de vida para ralentizar el avance hacia la demencia.

After a short break (life gets in the way sometimes!) we're excited to dive into Ta-Nehisi Coates' “Between the World and Me.” This National Book Award winning-novel is short but packs a punch. Written as a letter to his son and inspired by James Baldwin's “The Fire Next Time,” Coates writes about what it means to be Black in America. He weaves the personal anecdotes and stories into life lessons for his son as well as personal reflections we can all learn from. For this discussion, we are joined by Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) Director Franklin Sirmans and we touch upon what role education plays in our biases, reflect on what we learn at school versus what we don't, the humanist approach of museums, and more. Alexa pairs the wine with La Fête Blanc du Blanc, gifted by the amazing Ray Sholes @theroyalvines, certified sommelier and wine geek. PAMM artists mentioned in this episode: Leandro Erlich, Virginia Jaramillo, Firelei Báez, Bisa Butler, John William Bailly, Alfredo Jaar, Teresita Fernandez, Calida Rawles, Gary Simmons, and Antonia Wright. And to humor our PAMM in-house general counsel: The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in this program are solely those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, policies, or positions of any entities they represent.

Ben Luke talks to Alfredo Jaar about his influences—from writers to film-makers, musicians and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Jaar, who was born in 1956, in Santiago, Chile and has been based in New York since the early 1980s, addresses social injustice, human suffering, state-sponsored violence, and imbalances in power between the global north and south. He also explores how these issues are framed in the international media. He has responded to some of the most troubling moments in recent human history, from the military coup in his native Chile in 1973 and its aftermath, to the Rwandan genocide in the 1990s, to wars and covert operations waged by Western powers over multiple decades, and the relentless displacement of refugees across the world. He has done so through uncompromising, searing, yet often deeply moving installations in multiple media. Among much else, he discusses the profound influence of John Cage, Hans Haacke and Marcel Duchamp, his fascination with Pier Paolo Pasolini, a transformative experience watching Simone Forti, and the poetry of Ben Okri. Plus, he gives insight into his studio life, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: “What is art for?”Alfredo Jaar: If It Concerns Us, It Concerns You, Goodman Gallery, London 18 April-24 May; Alfredo Jaar: 50 Years Later, Cecilia Brunson Projects, London, 19 April – 19 May 2023. One Million German Passports, Pinakothek del Moderne, Munich, 29 March-27 August; Alfredo exhibition for the 11th Hiroshima Art Prize at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, Japan, 22 July-15 October, and an exhibition at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Santiago, Chile, opens on 14 September.

In part 2 with ArtNet News critic Ben Davis, we talk about: environmentalism and our approach to the climate, as well his emphasis on finding a good middle ground between overly dire and overly sugar-coated perspectives on the conversation; Christian Marclay's video works “Telephone” – which Apple co-opted, making their own version when Marclay wouldn't sell it to them – and “The Clock,” which Ben considers to be Marclay's response to Apple and its iPhone, and images' ‘place-lessness' (which “The Clock” returns to us); how he frames the immersive art trend as a question of ‘what's at stake here?,' and how there are many trends that he feels needs to be seen from both sides; Alfredo Jaar's immersive video in the most recent Whitney Biennial, prompted by the very short time window artists now have to gain viewers' attention; the case of the lovably ordinary @world_record_egg, an Instagram feed that both parodied and addressed concerns about the effects of social media on our individual psyches as an artistic provocation; and Ben's own tricky relationship with social media (IG).

Alfredo Jaar illuminates truths that often escape popular consciousness. Through his work, the artist and filmmaker raises awareness about sociopolitical issues that have been forgotten, suppressed, or ignored, including genocide and the displacement of refugees. Simultaneously, he informs and engages viewers, urging them to be present for those who need their attention most. With all that he makes, Jaar maintains a heightened sensitivity to the limits and ethics of representation. His aim? To provide viewers with a different perspective on the world and reveal their connections to its many crises—and to be moved to act.Born in Santiago, Chile, in 1956, during a time of intense media censorship, Jaar early on developed an understanding of how to discuss injustices through a different kind of language. He immerses himself deeply in the subjects he documents, which have included Brazil's Serra Pelada gold mine and the 1994 Rwandan genocide. While Jaar's work focuses on specific events, there's a haunting sense of timelessness to it. Take his landmark “A Logo for America” project, which points out that when we say “America” and mean “the U.S.,” we're claiming a region that is only partially our own. Shown around the world, it has gained multiple new meanings since its 1987 debut. Currently on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art as part of its 2022 Biennial (through Sept. 5) is a video by Jaar, amplified with special effects, of the 2020 police attacks on demonstrators in Washington, D.C.On this episode, Jaar speaks with Andrew about how tragedies reveal inequities, gathering multiple perspectives to understand global issues, and slowing people down so that they can see. Special thanks to our Season 5 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Full transcriptalfredojaar.net[03:43] “Manu”[06:36] “Between the Heavens and Me”[23:56] “Lament of the Images”[54:54] Nicolás Jaar[01:01:09] “Rushes”[01:03:32] “Cries and Whispers”[01:11:22] “A Logo for America”[01:18:25] “The Rwanda Project”[01:20:40] “Six Seconds”

Dr. Lisa Freiman reflects on the recent forced resignation of the chief executive of the Indianapolis Museum of Art (for now clinging to the nickname @newfields) along with her major exhibition of the work of Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, her role as Commissioner of the U.S. Pavilion in the 2011 Venice Biennale, which presented new works by Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, Alfredo Jaar's extraordinary Park of the Laments in the 100-acre sculpture park she devised, and a recent project she curated at the University of Washington's Hans Rosling Center for Population Health. Candid, insightful, and passionate, she addresses the institutional culture of art museums and encourages more resolve in tackling persistent discrimination and resistance to change.

Las restricciones de distancia social impuestas por muchos gobiernos ante la pandemia del COVID-19, hacen que muchos se sienten atrapados en sus propios hogares. No es de extrañar que la exposición ¿Cuál es tu hogar? en el Institut Valencià d'Art Modern de Valencia, España, despierte nuestro interés por relevancia. La muestra, que agrupa instalaciones del guatemalteco Teddy Cruz y del chileno Alfredo Jaar entre otros, nos invita a explorar la experiencia humana de sentirse apartado y emocionalmente distante en los lugares más familiares.

"This is not America", el proyecto Rwanda, la intervención "¿Es usted feliz?" en junio de 1980...la obra del chileno Alfredo Jaar ha impactado al mundo. La directora Paula Rodríguez logró filmar al propio Jaar reflexionando sobre su obra, la política del arte y el proceso creativo en la película "Jaar, el lamento de las imágenes" y de eso habla aquí con Paula Molina.

"Det enorma privilegium jag har som konstnär med en röst i konstvärlden, kommer med ett ansvar", säger den chilenskfödde konstnären Alfredo Jaar. Jaar föddes i Santiago, Chile 1956 och utbildade sig där till arkitekt och filmskapare. Han lämnade landet 1982 under Pinochets militärdiktatur och lever och arbetar i dag i New York. Hans genombrott anses ha kommit 1987 som en av konstnärerna vid Documenta i Kassel. Alfredo Jaars konstnärskap rör sig mellan film, foto, text, ljus, skulpturala objekt, performance och installationer. Jag har alltid sett mig själv som en arkitekt som skapar konst. Det har gett mig enorm frihet, säger han. En röd tråd är den politiska dimensionen. Som hans stora lysande billboard på Times square med texten "This is not America" över en karta av USA. Eller hans bilder av brasilianska gruvarbetare tapetserade bredvid reklamen i tunnelbanan. Ett av Jaars mer kända projekt är "Rwanda", ett flerårigt konstprojekt, vars första serie premiärvisades i Malmö. Det bygger på hans besök och de tusentals fotografier han tog under det pågående folkmordet 1994.  Det enorma privilegium jag har som konstnär med en röst i konstvärlden, kommer med ett ansvar.

Hello listeners, We have indeed gone into 2020. But I reckon it has been a very bumpy transfer of the year for many people. Particularly in this current strange and fearful coronavirus pandemic time, I wish everyone stay safe at home and keep positive. I hope this podcast could bring you some stress relief and a contact to the art at home.This first episode of 2020, is a conversation made in December 2019 between Zamara Zamara, Emanuel Rodriguez and I.  It was just before Emanuel returned to his home country Costa Rico. In the conversation, Emanuel shared his experience of visiting MONA at the first time, in particularly his personal experience of visiting Alfredo Jaar’s spectacular installation titled The Divine Comedy shown at MONA at that time.  Joined with Emanuel, Zamara talked about their experiences of seeing some performance artworks in Documenta 14 and the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017. Please enjoy listening this episode. More episodes will come up shortly. **Apology for the mistake in this episode: The title of Alfredo Jaar's work shown in MONA is The Divine Comedy. Episode Notes:Speakers:Emanuel Rodriguez Chaveshttp://www.emanuelrodriguez.netZamara Zamarahttp://zamarazamara.comThe artists and exhibitions talked about in this episode: Alfredo Jaarhttps://alfredojaar.net/projects/“The Divine Comedy” 2019https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=470846330447160Peter Greenawayhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000425/James Turrellhttp://jamesturrell.comJamie McCartneyThe Great Wall of Vagina (2008)https://jamiemccartney.comTino SehgalLiving Memory 2016https://www.artnews.com/art-news/reviews/living-memory-tino-sehgal-takes-over-pariss-palais-de-tokyo-with-300-performers-and-a-few-friends-7186/Aphidswww.aphids.net

Hej, det är jag igen, Kristina Lugns nya pjäs, har haft premiär på Dramaten och Kritiken var där. Programledare Anneli Dufva, Expressens Nils Schwartz och Jenny Aschenbrenner diskuterar uppsättningen och Lugns dramatik. Vad är kännetecknar hennes dramatik? Hej, det är jag igen kretsar kring familjen och de såriga relationer som den kan generera. Det gör även den danska TV-serien Arvingarna som just nu visas på SVT. Hur bra är den egentligen? Just nu på går en stor utställning med chilenske konstnären Alfredo Jaars konst på Kiasma, museet för nutidskonst i Helsingfors. Titeln är Tonight No Poetry Will Serve, ett mycket talande citat tycker kulturredaktionens Karsten Thurfjell, som sett en utställning där de stora mänskliga katastroferna dominerar verken. Dessutom, lyssnaren Irene Möller förklarar i Verket som värker, hur hennes liv helt förändrades av en bok av Alva Myrdal. Programledare Anneli Dufva Producent Maria Götselius

Den räknas som en av de viktigaste konsthändelserna i världen: konstbiennalen i Venedig. I år är det 88 länder som ställer ut i sina nationella paviljonger och den stora huvudutställningen har fått titeln "Det encyklopediska palatset". En titel som avslöjar att här handlar det om kunskap och samlande. Om bildvärldar som sträcker sig långt utanför det som traditionellt brukar omfamnas av konstvärlden. Huvudcurator är Massimiliano Gioni, italienare bosatt och verksam i New York. Kulturredaktionens konstkritiker Cecilia Blomberg och Mårten Arndtzén rapporterar från biennalen, analyserar utställningen och träffar konstnärer och curatorer från hela världen. På årets Venedigbiennal, den 55e sen starten 1895, deltar 88 länder med egna nationella paviljonger. Centrum för utställningen finns i parkområdet Giardini, där det gamla väst dominerar. Det enda afrikanska land som har en paviljong här är t.ex Egypten. Det här är en fråga som fortsätter engagera konstnärer. Bland dem Alfredo Jaar som ställer ut i Chiles paviljong, utanför Giardini, och som nu tycker det är hög tid att ändra den här gamla världsordningen en gång för alla. Det är framförallt i de nationella paviljongerna man hittar konstnärer som ger sig in i en tydlig dialog med samtiden. I Japans paviljong diskuteras överlevnadsövningar som kan vara användbara vid katastrofer. I Greklands paviljong undersöks pengars värde. Och i den brittiska paviljongen ger sig konstnären Jeremy Deller på alltifrån kungahuset, till ryska oligarkers roffa- och röva mentalitet. "Jag drivs av ett lekfullt raseri", säger han. Vid sidan av de nationella paviljongerna domineras biennalen av den stora, internationella huvudutställningen som i år har fått titeln "Det encyklopediska palatset", Många av de 159 konstnärer som visas i utställningen är döda, somliga är så kallade "outsider artists" - som upptäckts av konstvärlden först efter sin död. Den "encyklopediska" idén visar sig bland annat i att många av konstnärerna arbetar med samlingar av olika slag.  En av dem är svenskättade Linda Frengi Nagler. Hon har skapat ett verk med titeln "De dolda mödrarna". Antika fotografier av små barn, med mödrar som försöker gömma sig i bilden... Dessutom ställer vi frågan om vilken väg konsten i arabvärlden och mellanöstern tagit sen förra biennalen och så är Ai Weiwei med och ställer ut, trots att han fortfarande har reseförbud.

This week: San Francisco checks in with dance legend Anna Halprin!!! Anna Halprin (b. 1920) is a pioneering dancer and choreographer of the post-modern dance movement. She founded the San Francisco Dancer's Workshop in 1955 as a center for movement training, artistic experimentation, and public participatory events open to the local community. Halprin has created 150 full-length dance theater works and is the recipient of numerous awards including the 1997 Samuel H. Scripps Award for Lifetime Achievement in Modern Dance from the American Dance Festival. Her students include Meredith Monk, Trisha Brown, Yvonne Rainer, Simone Forti, Ruth Emmerson, Sally Gross, and many others. Printed Matter Live Benefit Auction Event: March 9, 6-8:30 pm Robert Rauschenberg Project Space 455 West 19th St, New York www.paddle8.com/auctions/printedmatter Printed Matter, Inc, the New York-based non-profit organization committed to the dissemination and appreciation of publications made by artists, will host a Benefit Auction and Selling Exhibition at the Rauschenberg Foundation Project Space to help mitigate damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. As a result of the storm, Printed Matter experienced six feet of flooding to its basement storage and lost upwards of 9,000 books, hundreds of artworks and equipment. Printed Matter's Archive, which has been collected since the organization's founding in 1976 and serves as an important record of its history and the field of artists books as a whole, was also severely damaged. Moreover, the damage sustained by Sandy has made it clear that Printed Matter needs to undertake an urgent capacity-building effort to establish a durable foundation for its mission and services into the future. This is the first fundraising initiative of this scale to be undertaken by the organization in many years, and will feature more than 120 works generously donated from artists and supporters of Printed Matter. The Sandy Relief Benefit for Printed Matter will be held at the Rauschenberg Project Space in Chelsea and will run from February 28 through March 9th. The Benefit has two components: a selling exhibition of rare historical publications and other donated works and an Auction of donated artworks. A special preview and reception will be held February 28th, 6-8 pm, to mark the unveiling of all 120 works and to thank the participating artists and donors. The opening will feature a solo performance by cellist Julia Kent (Antony and the Johnsons), followed by a shared DJ set from Lizzi Bougatsos (Gang Gang Dance) & Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio). The event is free and open to the public. All works will then be available for viewing at the Rauschenberg Project Space March 1 – March 9, gallery hours. All Selling Exhibition works may be purchased during this period and Auction works will be available for bidding online. Bids can be made at www.paddle8.com/auctions/printedmatter.

This Week: Lisa Freiman In this weeks episode Duncan talks to Lisa Freiman of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. This wide-ranging discussion looks at her work with the 2011 Venice Biennial/Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, what it takes to make a relevant sculpture park, and what is up with our neighbor in the blogosphere Art Babel. Hold onto your hats it's bound to be a bumpy ride. Lisa appears with the generous support of SAIC's Visiting Artist Program and we thank them for their assistance. And special thanks go out to Andrea Green and Thea Liberty Nichols.  The following bio was "borrowed" remorselessly from the 54th international art exhibition known as the Venice Biennial. Maybe you've heard of it? Lisa D. Freiman is senior curator and chair of the Department of Contemporary Art at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. In fall 2010, Freiman was appointed by the United States Department of State to be commissioner of the U.S. Pavilion in the 54th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia. In 2011, she will present six newly commissioned, site-responsive works by Puerto Rico-based artists Allora & Calzadilla, the first collaborative to be presented in the U.S. Pavilion. Under Freiman’s vision and direction, the IMA opened 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park to international critical acclaim in June 2010. 100 Acres offers a new  resilient model for sculpture parks in the 21st century, emphasizing experimentation, place-making, and public engagement with a constantly changing constellation of commissioned artworks. Inaugural installations included works by eight artists and artist collaboratives from around the world including Atelier Van Lieshout, Kendall Buster, Jeppe Hein, Alfredo Jaar, Los Carpinteros, Tea Mäkipää, Type A, and Andrea Zittel.   During her eight-year tenure at the IMA, Freiman has transformed the experience of contemporary art in Indianapolis. She has created a dynamic and widely  renowned contemporary art program that has become an influential model for encyclopedic museums as they engage the art of our time. Actively seeking out the works of emerging and established international artists, Freiman continues to provide a platform to support artists’ work through major traveling exhibitions, commissions, acquisitions, and publications. She has realized major commissions by artists including Robert Irwin, Kay  Rosen, Tony Feher, Orly Genger, Julianne Swartz, and Ghada Amer, and curated numerous exhibitions of works by international contemporary artists including  Amy Cutler, Ingrid Calame, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Ernesto Neto, and Tara Donovan. Freiman has published extensively on contemporary art, including books on Amy Cutler (Amy Cutler, Hatje Cantz, 2006), and María Magdalena Campos-Pons (María Magdalena Campos-Pons: Everything Is Separated by Water, Yale University Press, 2007), and Type A (Type A, Hatje Cantz, 2010).   Prior to joining IMA, Freiman worked as assistant professor of art history, theory, and criticism at the University of Georgia, Athens and served in the curatorial department of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. She earned her doctorate and master’s degrees in modern and contemporary art history from Emory University and has a bachelor’s degree in art history from Oberlin College. Freiman is currently editing the first collection of Claes Oldenburg’s writings from the Sixties, which will be published by Yale University Press in London in 2013. She is also adapting her dissertation, “(Mind)ing The Store: Claes Oldenburg’s Psychoaesthetics,” into the first scholarly monograph on Claes Oldenburg entitled Claes Oldenburg and the Sixties.  

Oct 3, 2010 An artist known for his politically charged pieces, Alfredo Jaar discusses his work in the context of American cultural exchange and explores the ways that art and society fit into U.S. political and economic foreign policy.

Mary Jane Jacob is Professor and Executive Director of Exhibitions at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. One of the most nonconformist U.S. curators of the last 20 years, Jacob has critically engaged the discourse around art in public spaces with such innovative exhibitions as Places with a Past, Charleston (1991), Culture in Action, Chicago (1993), Conversation in the Castle, Atlanta (1996) and Evoking History, Charleston (2001-present). Away from large-scale sculptures on public plazas, Jacob supports a form of art in public space that explicitly deals with the history and the current realties of the locations in which she works. With the book Buddha Mind in Contemporary Art, she has furthered her research into the nature of artmaking today and the forthcoming anthology, Slow: Experience into Art, will deal with the art experience and its relation to pedagogy. Jacob's lecture will draw upon her own practice as a curator; creating spaces and situations for art to be made and experienced in cities and communities, as well as in galleries. Importantly, she will ground her remarks in the work of artists who cross cultures, some following the Buddha, others reaching points of wisdom along other paths, and all of which move beyond national or ethnic identity to speak on universal terms. It will include the work of Marina Abramovic, Ann Hamilton, Alfredo Jaar, Kimsooja, Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Bill Viola. January 22, 2009
