Um Lycien-David Cséry geht es in Episode 214, der zunächst eine Galerie in Hamburg gründete, dann auf eigene Faust nach Kalifornien ging, um bei einer Galerie in LA zu arbeiten, sich dann aber doch ganz der Fotografie widmete und heute mit seiner Familie im Allgäu lebt. Lycien-David Cséry (*1985 in Tarmstedt, Deutschland) ist Fotograf und Künstler. Er lebt und arbeitet in Buchenberg im Allgäu. Nach Stationen als Assistent bei Jay Nelson (Los Angeles, 2018) und einer Work-Trade-Residency bei Andrea Zittel, A-Z West (Joshua Tree 2016/2018) setzt er sich in seinen Arbeiten mit Materialität und sichtbaren Spuren auseinander, die durch Nutzung und Veränderung entstehen. 2012 war er Mitbegründer der Affenfaust Galerie in Hamburg. Sein erstes Buch Cracks and Dents, das Mitte April 2025 im Distanz Verlag erscheint, zeigt Detailaufnahmen von Gebrauchsspuren diverser Karosserien – vorwiegend in Los Angeles aufgenommen. Dabei dokumentiert Cséry eine bemerkenswerte Vielfalt von Texturen, Formen und Farben von Autoteilen, deren Oberflächen sich durch Rost, Oxidation, Schmutz oder Lackabplatzungen auszeichnen. Durch diese Nähe wirken die Close-ups fast körperlich, wie persönliche Aufnahmen vergangener Verletzungen. Der Titel verweist auf sogenannte „Crack-and-Dent“-Sales in den USA, bei denen beschädigte Waren vergünstigt angeboten werden. Links: https://lyciendavidcsery.com Ab 25.

The materials of quilt making and garment sewing are the same. But what can quilt artists teach garment sewists about embedding meaning and connection into our creations? And should our sensory experiences of the textiles we wear alter our career paths? Just two of many intriguing threads of conversation that come up in today's episode, the second of two with quilt artist Heidi Parkes. Support the podcast over on Patreon!

Kids are carrying on the tradition at the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. Artist Sarah Rosalena's new show “Standard Candle” focuses on women's uncredited work that explores the cosmos and Native American traditions. Joshua Tree resident Andrea Zittel has crafted personal uniforms for herself since the early 1990s. A new exhibit at the Regen Projects showcases 48 handmade garments.
Elena Yu started making trips to the desert with her pre-school classmates and their climbing dads. She recalls loving their regular trip to Coyote Corner to pick out rocks. Placing them in a little velvet back made it seem like rocks were something important to collect. A competitive swimmer in her youth (discussed in the Diary Unlocked portion of the interview), Elena studied various mediums of studio art at UCLA from 2012 to 2016. After graduating in the spring of 2016 with her summer internship in the arts ending, Elena came across a job listing to work for Joshua Tree non-profit High Desert Test Sites (HDTS) and artist Andrea Zittel in Joshua Tree. As a one year paid internship with housing, Elena felt this would be the perfect way continue her work in the art world and to re-connect with Joshua Tree and explore it in a deeper way. All of the sudden, she was in a house in 29 Palms w/out any neighbors and a mountain for a backyard. At that moment, she never expected she would have stayed for four years - and has no current plans to leave. In this episode, Elena gives us a brief overview of HDTS (a non-profit formed by artist Andrea Zittel and others), A-Z West, Andrea Zittel’s personal practice and the roles Elena continues to play in the various organizations. Early on in her first year, Elena recognized that though she had a great deal of interaction with the HDTS resident artists, she hadn’t really inserted herself in the local community. After about a year, Elena said she started to feel a bit lonely and began to make a conscious effort to reach out to folks in the community who were pursuing similar interests to form deeper connections. One of those activities was rock-climbing. Elena recently had the opportunity to go out and climb again with some folks she hadn’t connected with in a long time. The art and climber community doesn’t typically intersect in the desert. This recent experience has motivated her to reach out to a few folks she knows in the arts community that do climb and perhaps tag along with them to renew her skills and make more intimate friendships. We also talk about the economic advantage of living here, particularly for folks in her age group who also work in the arts.
If questions around generating alternatives, and other possibilities of environments for art to foster, intrigue you, make sure you listen to this conversation. Because this episode features artist Fritz Haeg, whose Salmon Creek Farm is a long-term art project shaped by many hands, a sort of queer commune-farm-homestead-sanctuary-school hybrid. Salmon Creek Farm is a re-settlement in a former hippie commune from the 1970's in Mendocino California. With acres of land with orchards, meadows, gardens, and redwood trees, it provides for living, gathering, growing, and consists as an overall art-sustaining environment.Fritz studied as an architect and had nourished global attention as an artist with his Edible Estates, which, in its many incarnations had to do with taking yield and growing crops in otherwise unutilized greenery.Engagement with land and plants is as important as engaging with people, since Fritz has always been bringing people together, in action, in work, and exchange.The Sundown Salon, a series of meetings in a geodesic dome, or the collective rug-making sessions titled “domestic integrities” are a few projects that come to my mind. And I see the Salmon Creek Farm as the culmination of all these questions and more.You can find out more about the Salmon Creek Farm and Fritz Haeg’s work herehttp://www.fritzhaeg.com/wikidiary/salmon-creek-farm/More on Salmon Creek Farmhttps://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/20/t-magazine/design/fritz-haeg-salmon-creek-farm-commune.htmlhttp://www.sugar-vs-the-reef.net/growing-plants-and-community-at-salmon-creek-farm/One of the original communards put it this way: It was not ‘‘dropping out,’’ argued River, in her 1974 book ‘‘Dwelling,’’ but an active search for ‘‘a new pattern of living’’ that does not ‘‘rip off the planet or any of her inhabitants.’If you want to learn more about the background story of the farm, listen to interviews with original Salmon Creek Farm communards River and Moonlight from the KZYX series Promise of Paradise.https://www.kzyx.org/post/promise-paradise-episode-15-river#stream/0https://www.kzyx.org/post/promise-paradise-episode-20-tom-wodetzki-0#stream/0One of the rare video interviews of Fritz is a must see to picture how it's like at the farm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPp8z0_OIEwAhali communard Derya Yıldız’s writing on Fritzhttps://m-est.org/2017/01/05/invented-pieces-of-architecture-estates-of-fritz-haeg/On the Maintenance Art of Mierle Laderman Ukeleshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mierle_Laderman_Ukeles#:~:text=Mierle%20Laderman%20Ukeles%20Fritz says that his biggest influence on what to build on the land was artist Andrea Zittel who also focuses on questions of living, habitation, and human nature with her practice. https://www.zittel.org
The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
We talk quite often about the importance of routine, and how by having a routine, we actually set ourselves free, especially our minds. And it is in that vein that Mason Curry shares his two books Daily Rituals. His second is focused entirely on Women at Work, sharing the routines and preferences of creative women who lived and created over the past four centuries. I thoroughly enjoyed his second book, even more than the first which I also found great inspiration. It was refreshing to see so many women living their lives in a variety of different ways, but all in which they discovered worked well for them and the craft they most loved. Not all of the ideas resonated with me, but it was wonderful to get into the minds for a moment of these women and how they approached their days. I highlighted vigorously from beginning to end, and would like to share 34 daily routines to consider to enable your creative ideas to flow freely and without withdrawal. Some will speak to you, some will not, but each one is inspired by a woman's routine which is shared in the book: Daily Rituals: Woman at Work - 143 artists on how they paint, write, perform, direct, choreograph, design, sclpt, compose, dance, etc. ~Be sure to tune into the audio version of the podcast where much more discussion takes place on each point. 1.Begin with a hot glass of lemon water Designer Elsa Schiaparelli woke up at 8 am, sipped lemon-juice-and-water and a cup of tea for breakfast as she read the papers, handled private correspondence, made telephone calls and gave the menus of the day to the cook. 2. Wake up early if that is when your creativity is most fruitful —Lillian Hellman would wake up at 6am. —Marie Bashkirtseff would wake up at 6am —Maggie Hambling wakes up at 5am each morning "I get up between three or four o'clock in the morning, because that's my best writing time." —Octavia Butler 3. If spending less time with people fuels your creativity, embrace it fully "I enjoy people best if I can be alone much of the time. I used to worry about it because my family worried about it. And I finally realized: This is the way I am. That's that." —Octavia Butler in 1998 4. If traditional "holidays" don't work for you, create your own, or dive into what you love. Coco Chanel worked six days a week, and dreaded Sundays and holidays. As she told one confidant, "That word, 'vacation,' makes me sweat." 5. Greet the day in a habitual way that sets the tone for a great day 6. Live your ideas, don't talk about them "People would sit around and talk about things constantly. I never really went in for that. If you talk something out, you will never do it. You can spend every evening talking with your friends and colleagues about your dreams, but they will remain just that —dreams." —choreographer Martha Graham 7. Keep a small journal next to your bed to capture ideas "I always have notebook and pencil on the table at my bedside. I may wake up in the middle of the night with something I want to put down." —American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay 8. If you work at home, carve out a part of the day to get out of the house and just absorb inspiration or let go of the day completely "In the nocturnal evening, I get the hell out to some movie or damn play and I come back and sleep like a rock." —Frida Kahlo 9. Figure out the ingredients that are needed to let the ideas find you To develop a new work of choreography, Agnes de Mille needed 'a pot of tea, walking space, privacy and an idea'. 10. Don't feel obligated to keep the same schedule when you are in the middle of creating your art or craft Margaret Bourke-White required long periods of solitude to write, with as few interruptions as possible." In an interview with a Life photographer Nina Leen, Leen remembers after asking her if she would have lunch with her, "She told me she was writing a book and there was no hope of a lunch for several years. 11. Don't feel bad for loving your work and working on what you love beyond the traditional work hours. "Everything seems petty and uninteresting, everything except my work . . . ". Russian-born painter and sculptor Marie Bashkirtseff 12. Do something during the day that is relaxing and keeps you present 'I relax before lunch by arranging flowers . . . When these are all beautifully arranged in bowls and vases, it's usually lunch time." —English actress Gertrude Lawrence 13. Have a studio or space of your own to create "The most important thing is to have a studio and establish and preserve its atmosphere." —Agnes Martin 14. If you love solitude, embrace it "But it is, as Yeats said, a 'solitary sedentary trade.' And I did a lot of gardening and cooked my own food, and listened to music, and of course I would read. I was really very happy. I can live a solitary life for month at a time, and it does me good." —poet Katherine Anne Porter 15. Trust your intuition as to what works best for you "It's not right if it doesn't feel right." —English painter Bridget Riley 16. Find regular time to just read what you love Rachel Whiteread [English sculptor] would "at some point stop for lunch, and she'd often spend an hour of the day reading sitting in a comfortable chair away from her desk. 17. Establish a flexible routine to work with what you need Morning routine: "Zittel feeds her chickens, waters plants, and performs other outdoor chores before meditating, taking a shower, making breakfast and getting dressed. In the winter, Zittel's morning schedule reverses: She meditates, showers and eats breakfast first; then, once the sun has raised the outdoor temperature, she heads out on her hike and does chores. 'It's really all about establishing a flexible routine."Andrea Zittel, an American artist, in 2017 18. Don't quit trying to live the life you wish to live "It never occurred to me that I couldn't live the life I wanted to lead. It never occurred to me that I could be stopped . . . I had this very simple view: that the reason people who start out with ideals or aspirations don't do what they dream of doing when they're young is because they quit. I thought, well, I won't quit." —Susan Sontag 19. Try a crossword puzzle like Joan Mitchell 20. Determine what view in your studio/sanctuary/work space is most productive for inspiration "Where do I write? In a Morris chair beside the window, where I can see a few trees and a patch of sky, more or less blue." —Kate Chopin, American writer 21. End the day with a signal to your mind to relax "During the performance I drink water with breadcrumbs, which is most refeshing. After the ballet I have a bath as soon as possible. Then I go out to dinner, as by that time I have an unmerciful hunger. When I get home I drink tea." —Russian prima ballerina Anna Pavlova 22. Let baths be your creative muse "Baths also played a part in her creative process - a post-breakfast bath enjoyed regularly by Virginia Woolf. 23. Let lunch be a true mid-day break At 1:00 p.m., Hambling has lunch, takes her Tibetan terrier, Lux, for a walk, and switches on the television to satisfy her tennis addiction. 24. Write when inspiration hits - even if it is in bed in the morning so as not lose the ideas. 25. Go outside and breathe in the fresh air "Fresh air and cold water are my stimulants." —Harriet Martineau - the first female sociologist 26. Enjoy someone's company for tea, lunch or a walk regularly Emily Post would regularly welcome a guest or two for tea in the afternoon. 27. It's okay for your personal time to be less than what others feel is acceptable "It seems to me you have to have your personal life organized so that it takes as little of your time as possible. Otherwise you can't make your art." –Eleanor Antin 28. Don't expect the routine to come naturally, create one and stick with it as it enables you to flourish 29. Cook and walk "The only other essential component of her day is a twice-daily walk with her dog, during which she avoids thinking about her writing project. In the evening, she makes herself a simple dinner and goes to bed at 10:00 or 11:00 p.m.." —Isabel Allende 30. Create space for your ideas to be seen "Open a gap for them, create a space. Be patient." — Hilary Mantel "I think the way to become inspired is to empty your mind and let things come into your mind." —Joan Jonas 31. Do you and don't apologize "I live here as in Paris. I rise every day at 5 o'clock; I drink my two large glasses of hot water; I take my coffee; I write when I am alone, which is rare; I do my hair in company; I dine every day with the king, chez lui, or with him and les seigneurs. I make calls after dinner; I go to the theater; I return to my place at ten o'clock; I drink my hot water , and I go to bed." —Marie-Thérèse Rodet Geoffrin, a major salonniéres of the French Englightenment 32. Turn on music paired with your favorite drink to start the day "I wake about nine, turn on the symphony and have juice, fruit and a pot of black coffee . . . " —Grace Hartigan, American painter 33. Leave evenings open for your social engagements "In the evening, she would see a friend for dinner or attend another social engagement. But the real key to this perfect writing day, she said, was to know that the following day would be exactly the same." —Eudora Welty 34. Be patient until you find what works, then cherish it "Trial and error, and then when you've found your needs, what feeds you, what is your instinctive rhythm and routine, then cherish it." —novelist Doris Lessing ~SIMILAR POSTS/EPISODES YOU MIGHT ENJOY: ~Why Not . . .

Annelies Kuiper is of Dutch descent, born in Kenya, Africa eight years before Kenya received it's independence from Britain. With no rights to Kenyan citizenship, it was difficult to find work so Annelies made the difficult decision to leave and has only been back to Kenya twice since 1974. Annelise found work with a large hotel chain, which took her to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Johannesburg, eventually landing in 'romantic' Palm Springs where she lived for 11 years, playing golf and enjoying the resort hotel amenities. After ending a second relationship, Annelies wanted to 'fall off the earth' and a friend recommended she move to the hi-desert. In this episode, Annelies tells me how she found her place in north Joshua Tree: Copper Mountain Mesa. Heartbroken and disillusioned, it was a place where she could scream as loud as she wanted and no one would call the police. A place where she could once again find and be her authentic self. On the mesa, Annelies had the sudden urge to write and in six months time wrote two books. 'Kenya Cowgirl!' and 'Stay Well Kenya Cowgirl', the first a fictionalized version of her formative years in Africa. Six years ago, Annelies decided to return to school - starting at Copper Mountain College in Joshua Tree and transferring to UC San Diego, from where she recently graduated with a degree in Communications and Media Studies. Annelies has partnered with artist Andrea Zittel and High Desert Test Sites to publish a book of short stories that will be arriving in Spring 2019. In the meantime, you can keep up with Annelies and the goings on in her 'little community' of Copper Mountain Mesa through her weekly column in the Hi-Desert Star 'Weekender', available for free on Saturdays.

Drömmen om ett eget hus är en av människans starkaste drivkrafter, så stark att den till och med utlöst finanskriser och orsakat personliga tragedier. Idag står runt 1,5 miljon hus tomma i USA, övergivna av sina överbelånade före detta ägare eller byggda i spekulation och aldrig bebodda. Cecilia Blomberg har träffat konstnären Andrea Zittel som under hela sitt konstnärskap utforskat boendets många dimensioner - om relationen husägande och frihet, men också vad det småskaliga boendet kan betyda för en hållbar framtid. Redan på 90-talet blev Andrea Zittels minimala New York-lägenhet en experimentplats för komprimerat boende, sedan gjorde hon husvagnar och numera är det hemmet i Joshua Tree i Mojaveöknen mitt emellan Las Vegas och Los Angeles som är i centrum. Där har hon skapat A-Z West. Hon bor och jobbar där, och bjuder även in andra konstnärer att testa sina idéer. I USA är trailern - den stora husvagnen – så långt många når i drömmen om det egna hemmet. Var fjortonde amerikansk familj beräknas bo i så kallade mobile homes. Claes Andreasson tar oss med till en kulturminnesmärkt trailer park i Los Angeles och berättar om trailerns historia och status i USA. Och så har Maria Edström läst om Elise Johanssons trilogi om flickan Nancy: Glasfåglarna, Mosippan och Nancy, där Tå-Pelles lilla stuga finns mitt i berättelsen. Ett slags ur-stuga på våra breddgrader, ett ur-hem som har sin motsvarighet runt hela klotet. Programledare: Cecilia Blomberg Producent: Marie Liljedahl
In conjunction with the American artist Andrea Zittels exhibition Lay of My Land at Magasin 3 fall of 2011, she held a lecture about her work and how she uses her home and studio A–Z West in Joshua Tree, California to explore ideas about what humans need for survival. For over two decades she has created minimal households where everyday activities like sleeping, eating, cooking and social situations become artistic acts.

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.
