Podcasts about anni albers foundation

In this episode, I sit down with Nicholas Fox Weber, art historian and Executive Director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. He is also the author of fifteen books, among them iBauhaus, Le Corbusier, Balthus: A Biography, and Patron Saints. Weber is a gradu­ate of Colum­bia Col­lege (B.A., major in Art History), Yale Uni­ver­sity (M.A., Art History; Fellowship in American Art), and the University of Groningen (PhD).  He lives in Connecticut, Paris, and Ireland. Despite all his professional accomplishments, Nick's heart is focused on his humanitarian work in Senegal. Nick is the founder of Le Korsa, a not-for-profit organization in Senegal. I admire Nick so much. We all see things in life that we wish we could change or people that we'd like to help – yet we are all so busy with our own lives that it is the rare among us that does something – Nick is one of those people. After a trip to Senegal with a Parisian doctor about twenty years ago, Nick saw communities that needed access to health care, education, and basic amenities. Ever since, Nick has worked tirelessly to support clinics, schools, and other life-saving initiatives in Senegal through Le Korsa.     My son John and I visited Senegal in February of 2023, and we witnessed Nick's incredible work firsthand. Every bit of resources directed toward Le Korsa make such an impact. Donations to Le Korsa go directly to projects in Senegal, from digging wells to buying academic supplies to helping patients receive medical care. In this conversation, Nick and I discuss his work in Senegal, how and why he got started, and about his spectacular and purposeful life as an art historian, author, and humanitarian. This episode is just the kind of inspiration that is so fitting this holiday season! To learn more about Le Korsa, visit https://www.aflk.org/ If you enjoy the show, please rate and review.

“Anni et Josef Albers“ L'art et la vieau Musée d'Art moderne de Parisdu 10 septembre 2021 au 9 janvier 2022Interview de Julia Garimorth, commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 9 septembre 2021, durée 14'51.© FranceFineArt.Extrait du communiqué de presse CommissairesJulia Garimorth, assistée de Sylvie Moreau-SoterasComité scientifiqueNicholas Fox Weber, directeur de la Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, Bethany, ConnecticutHeinz Liesbrock, directeur du Josef Albers Museum Quadrat, Bottrop, AllemagneLe Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris organise, du 10 septembre 2021 au 9 janvier 2022, une exposition inédite consacrée à Anni et Josef Albers, rassemblant plus de trois cent cinquante oeuvres (peintures, photographies, meubles, oeuvres graphiques et textiles) significatives du développement artistique des deux artistes.Au-delà de la présentation très complète de leurs créations respectives, il s'agit de la première exposition en France dédiée au couple formé par les deux artistes. C'est en effet ce lien intime et très complice qui leur a permis, tout au long de leur vie, de se soutenir, de se renforcer mutuellement, dans un dialogue permanent et respectueux. Ils ont non seulement produit une oeuvre considérée aujourd'hui comme la base du modernisme, mais ont aussi imprégné toute une nouvelle génération d'artistes de leurs valeurs éducatives.Anni Albers (née Annelise Fleischmann, 1899-1994) et Josef Albers (1888-1976) se rencontrent en 1922 au Bauhaus et se marient trois ans plus tard. Ils partagent d'emblée la conviction que l'art peut profondément transformer notre monde et doit être au coeur de l'existence humaine : « Les oeuvres d'art nous apprennent ce qu'est le courage. Nous devons aller là où personne ne s'est aventuré avant nous. » (Anni Albers)Dès le début de leur travail, les deux artistes placent ainsi la fonction de l'art au coeur de leur réflexion. Ils adhèrent non seulement à la revalorisation de l'artisanat et aux atouts de la production industrielle (Bauhaus) pour rendre possible la démocratisation de l'art, mais ils estiment aussi que la création joue un rôle essentiel dans l'éducation de chaque individu. Ils ne cessent de démontrer, en tant qu'artistes mais aussi enseignants, l'impact incommensurable de l'activité artistique sur la réalisation de soi et, plus largement, sur la relation avec les autres. Forts de ces valeurs, ils cherchent à amener leurs élèves vers une plus grande autonomie de réflexion et à une prise de conscience de la subjectivité de la perception. Selon eux, l'enseignement ne se réduit pas à transmettre un savoir théorique déjà écrit mais consiste au contraire à susciter constamment des interrogations nouvelles : d'abord par l'observation sensible du monde – visuel et tactile – qui nous entoure ; puis par la découverte empirique que comporte l'expérimentation créatrice avec les matériaux à portée de main, sans préjuger de leurs valeurs esthétiques. « Apprenez à voir et à ressentir la vie, cultivez votre imagination, parce qu'il y a encore des merveilles dans le monde, parce que la vie est un mystère et qu'elle le restera. Mais soyons-en conscients. » (Josef Albers) L'exposition s'ouvre sur deux oeuvres emblématiques de chaque artiste, illustrant d'emblée, tel un prologue, les valeurs formelles et spirituelles qui relient le couple. Puis elle suit, de manière chronologique, les différentes étapes de leur vie. Une première section rassemble leurs productions, riches et variées, issues du Bauhaus, de 1920 à 1933. Le départ du couple pour les États Unis en 1933 marque le début de la deuxième section, dédiée aux oeuvres réalisées au Black Mountain College. Puis deux autres temps forts de la visite s'attachent à présenter une sélection pointue de Pictorial Weavings de Anni et de Homages to the Square de Josef. Enfin, la dernière partie de l'exposition est consacrée au travail graphique d'Anni, initié avec Josef dans les années soixante et qu'elle va poursuivre jusqu'à la fin de sa vie.Une salle, spécifiquement dédiée à leurs rôles respectifs en tant que professeurs, permet aux visiteurs, grâce à d'exceptionnels films d'archives, de se glisser dans la peau des étudiants et de suivre un cours « en direct ». Un grand nombre de documents (photographies, lettres, carnets de notes, cartes postales, etc.), réunis avec l'aide de la Fondation Josef et Anni Albers, permet également de contextualiser le travail des deux artistes.L'exposition est organisée en étroite collaboration avec The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation à Bethany, Connecticut. Elle sera également présentée à l'IVAM (Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno) à Valence, Espagne, du 17 février au 20 juin 2022.Un catalogue est publié aux éditions Paris Musées.

Um dem unerwünschten Schalleffekt in der Aula der Bundesschule in Bernau entgegenzuwirken und das Licht im gesamten Raum optimal zu verteilen, brauchte es ein Material, das beide Anforderungen erfüllen konnte. Da es 1929 ein solches Material noch nicht gab, beauftragte das Bauhaus kurzerhand eine seiner besten Weberinnen damit, in ihrer Diplomarbeit einen entsprechenden Stoff zu entwickeln. Anni Albers entwarf ein metallisch glänzendes Gewebe aus Zellophan, Chenille und Baumwolle. Der Stoff wurde nun im Auftrag der Josef & Anni Albers Foundation von dem niederländischen Jongeriuslab reproduziert. www.jongeriuslab.com | albersfoundation.org | www.best-bernau.de/kunst-kultur/podcast.html | www.bauhaus-denkmal-bernau.de | www.galerie-bernau.de Auf Instagram und Facebook: @bauhausdenkmalbernau | @galeriebernau | @hellajongerius | @albers_foundation Musik von ASHUTOSH - Time Music provided by No Copyright Music, Creative Commons – Attribution-No Derivs 3.0 Unported CC BY-ND 3.0

Johnson’s work draws on a vastness of experience and a persistent desire to make paintings that explain the world through color and shape. He has always moved seamlessly between abstraction and representation and the art historian Peter Selz described Johnson as an artist who makes “realist paintings that are basically abstract paintings and abstract paintings that are figurative.”   Mitchell Johnson moved to California from New York City in 1990 to work for the artist, Sam Francis. In New York, Johnson studied at Parsons School of Design with former students of Hans Hofmann: Jane Freilicher, Leland Bell, Nell Blaine, Paul Resika, Larry Rivers and Robert De Niro, Sr. Johnson adopted their reverence for art history and their emphasis on drawing and painting from life as the source of a personal direction.   Beginning in the 1990s Johnson embarked on long painting expeditions to Italy, France and New Mexico with rolls of canvas packed in a golf bag like a modern day Corot. Wading through unfamiliar landscapes, often on foot, he worked to understand the ever complex geometry of land and sky. He prevailed not to capture some ideal sense of place, but to see better and to go deeper into painting.    Johnson has been a visiting artist at The American Academy in Rome, Borgo Finocchieto, The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and Castle Hill in Truro, MA. In addition to attending Parsons, Johnson studied painting and drawing at Staten Island Academy, Randolph-Macon College, The Washington Studio School, The Santa Fe Institute of Fine Arts and The New York Studio School. His paintings are in the permanent collections of 29 museums and over 700 private collections. Johnson is the subject of three monographs: Mitchell Johnson (2004, Terrence Rogers Fine art), Doppio Binario (2007, Musei Senesi) and Color as Content (2014 Bakersfield Museum of Art). A fourth monograph, Where The Colors Are, will be published in summer 2021. ​ Johnson's paintings have appeared in numerous feature films, mostly Nancy Meyers projects, including The Holiday (2006), Crazy Stupid Love (2011), and It's Complicated (2009).       TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:   -current exhibition at Pamela Walsh  -the large paintings did not happen overnight, it took time to cultivate -Working with people from 9th Street Women -Working with Leland Bell - Introduced to the questions he would spend his career working on -Working for Frank Stella & Sol LeWitt -Traveling through Italy and France -Digital Photography -Color -Smaller paintings and bigger paintings are different problems -”What does the painting want?” -Freedom - Abstraction and Representation -”Make the painting feel special” -Keep enjoying the struggle -curious about transformation -On some level the paintings must sustain you on an emotional level    LINKS:  https://www.mitchelljohnson.com/ https://pamelawalshgallery.com/artists/mitchell-johnson/artworks/striped-chair-sideways https://www.artforum.com/spotlight/mitchell-johnson-85170   I Like Your Work Links:   Exhibitions Studio Visit Artists I Like Your Work Podcast Instagram Submit Work Observations on Applying to Juried Shows Studio Planner

Hi everyone. Hope you are doing well. Things are okay so far on my end. School is ending soon and the temperature is getting hot and humid very quickly. My Chinese is steadily getting better and I have a few shows planned for the coming months, so I have to get back to my video editing as the deadline approaches. I also am doing a remote residency via Rogers Art Loft in Las Vegas in the coming summer, as well as a residency in Shanghai. I'll keep you updated about any upcoming events as they happen.For today, I have a really wonderful chat with Addoley Dzegede, a Ghanian-American interdisciplinary artist who grew up in South Florida and is now based in Pittsburgh. Her work has been exhibited throughout the US, Europe, and Africa, and she has been at residencies such as at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida, Osei Duro in Accra, Ghana, Thread: a project of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Senegal, and many more. Addoley employs different materials, textile traditions, and notions of “authenticity” to investigates notions of belonging, migration and location, and hybrid identities.  Her work is a contemplation of the forces of history, experience, and location, as well as how they work together to tell a story, essentially, of longing as a state of being. I was able to ask Addoley more about these topics, along with the different histories of the textiles she uses, the idea of getting ready for grad school, and figuring out how to work at residencies. As a side note, I was introduced to Addoley and her partner, Lyndon, through her brother, Zechariah, who I know through my undergrad. I still am amazed at how small and interconnected the world can be, not just in the arts, but on our tiny little Earth. It is my hope we all can realize this sooner than later before it is too late. Anyway, take care, stay safe, and I hope you enjoy this.Links Mentioned:Addoley’s websiteAddoley’s InstagramHomegoing Novel by Yaa GyasiBatikKente ClothTrade BeadsAsk Addoley and Anna's PodcastMy interview with LyndonFollow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram

La relación de Josef Albers con el compositor John Cage tiene su origen en la visita de este último a Black Mountain College, la institución en la que enseñaba Albers, en el año 1948. Allí, Albers pudo asistir a los estrenos de significativas obras de Cage quien, en 1950, compuso sus Seis melodías para violín y teclado, dedicadas a Josef y Anni Albers. Esta obra podrá escucharse en el Concierto extraordinario celebrado con motivo de la inauguración de la exposición “Josef Albers: minimal means, maximun effect” acompañada de Tzigane de Ravel y la Fantasía sobre temas de “Carmen” de Bizet de Sarasate. Conferencia inaugural a cargo de Nicholas Fox Weber, director ejecutivo de The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, Bethany, Connecticut.  Más información de este acto
