An American born artist dedicated to developing new techniques of glass working, Joshua Hershman combines optical physics with the fluidity of glass to make his contemporary sculpture. By harnessing light though hand-polished lenses, he employs unique methods of casting, coldworking, and photography in his boundary pushing work. Hershman states: “My work offers meditations on the complexities within the concept of photography and the repercussions of the camera's impact on culture. The incredibly creative and destructive nature of photography is both inspiring and alarming to me. It has helped bring our global society closer together but also driven us desperately apart. It can teach us or deceive us, show us the furthest reaches of space, or the closest representations of matter itself. It is these contrasting realities that exist within photography, which inspire my works of contemporary art.” Being born with no peripheral vision or depth perception, decades of vision therapy led Hershman to his lifelong fascination with the complex nature of the visual system and the science of light and optics. By using cameras themselves as frames for his experimental photographic processes, he asks us to look more closely into the simple act of taking a photograph. His work focuses on the significance that film and photography have played on the development of contemporary global culture. More recently Hershman's work has focused on the torus — the most common shape found in galaxy formations and human cellular biology. His series, Messier Objects, was named after the French astronomer Charles Messier, who famously catalogued anomalous objects that confused his search for comets in the night sky. Originally from Colorado, Hershman was born in 1981 and first began working with glass at the age of 17. In 2004, he graduated from the Craft and Design Program at Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada. In 2008, he went on to earn a BFA with Distinction from the California College of the Arts in Oakland, California. Most recently, he completed the Master's program at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in Sculptural/Dimensional Studies. In 2009, Hershman had his first solo exhibition at Pismo Glass in Denver and went on to participate in many group exhibitions and art fairs including Sofa Chicago, the Armory Show, Art Hamptons, SF Art Market, the Habatat Invitational, and many others. He loves to teach and has led workshops and lectures at California College of the Arts, Public Glass in San Francisco, Pittsburgh Glass Center, and at D&L Glass Supply in Denver. Hershman has received numerous awards, was included in the Bullseye Emerge international glass competition, Young Glass 2017, and can be found in numerous private collections. His work is included in the permanent collection of the Ebeltoft Museum in Denmark, The National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, and Museum of Glass, Tacoma (MOG). In fact, MOG exhibited Hershman's sculpture in the nation's first LGBTQ+ glass exhibition titled Transparency. He has been invited to participate in several artist-in-residence programs including North Lands Creative Glass in Scotland, D&L Art Glass in Colorado, the Appalachian Center for Craft in Tennessee, and most recently completed a semester-long residency at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. The artist worked for Berengo studio in Murano, Italy, where he made work for the world's leading contemporary artists. Living and operating a private studio in Los Angeles, California, Hershman makes his personal work and also operates the Glass Foundry, which provides casting and coldworking services to other artists. Additionally, he is employed at Judson Studios, where he's currently working on a large-scale architectural glass project for James Jean. “Casting glass was something I could do in isolation in my studio which was a huge advantage during the pandemic. Without the need for a furnace or lots of facilities, this process allowed me to make a highly challenging sculpture without the need for a team of assistants or expensive equipment. I think what draws me most to lost wax casting is the constant challenge and problem solving that is required to get a high-quality casting.”

Hilma's Ghost is a feminist artist collective co-founded by artists and educators Dannielle Tegeder and Sharmistha Ray that fuses contemporary art with modern spirituality through forms of divination and ritual. Named after the Swedish artist and mystic, Hilma af Klint, the collective's work is a critique of gendered power structures, providing a critical and revolutionary platform for rethinking gender in the arts while recovering feminist histories as its ballast for critique. Their work ranges from the traditional to the esoteric, including paintings and drawings, surrealist games, The Abstract Futures tarot deck, ritual object-based installations, pedagogical workshops, curated exhibitions, community projects, performances, and artist books. Hilma's Ghost has been featured in solo, collaborative, and group exhibitions and projects at such esteemed institutions as The Guggenheim, The Armory Show, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Museu de Arte de São Paulo in Brazil, Galería RGR in Mexico City among many others. Reviews of their work have appeared in The New York Times, The Brooklyn Rail, Artnet, and Hyperallergic. And their brand new mystical mosaic installation, ABSTRACT FUTURES, was created in partnership with NYC's MTA and is on display for the public in perpetuity at the 42nd St – Grand Central Subway Station now. On this episode, Hilma's Ghost speaks about the magic of abstraction, the alchemy of collaborative work, and how art can expand consciousness. (They also give a special Abstract Futures tarot reading to help guide us in this time of tumult and transformation).Pam also talks about the mystical history of the abstract art movement, and answers a listener question about how to be a minimalist witch.Check out the video of this episode over on YouTube (and please like and subscribe to the channel while you're at it!)Our sponsors for this episode are Woodland Magic, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, BetterHelp, and TU·ET·AL soap We also have print-on-demand merch like Witch Wave shirts, sweatshirts, totes, stickers, and mugs available now here, and all sorts of other bewitching goodies available in the Witch Wave shop.And if you want more Witch Wave, please consider supporting us on Patreon to get access to detailed show notes, bonus Witch Wave Plus episodes, Pam's monthly online rituals, and more!

In this episode, I connected with the dynamic duo of Hilma's Ghost, Sharmistha Ray and Dannielle Tegeder, to explore the fascinating intersection of art, spirituality, and community. We dive deep into their collaborative journey, tracing the origins of their partnership that blossomed amidst the challenges of the pandemic and the need for connection. Together we explore the transformative power of art and how spirituality plays a crucial role in their practice.------------------For over five years, the Hilma's Ghost has conducted experimental pedagogy, transcultural dialogue, and collectivity through the lens of feminism and spirituality to build community and reckon with patriarchal art histories that have excluded women, trans, and nonbinary practitioners. Hilma's Ghost collaborated artistically on ABSTRACT FUTURES TAROT, consisting of 5 paintings, 78 drawings, and an original limited-edition tarot deck that was exhibited at The Armory Show 2021. The exhibition was shortlisted as one of the exhibitions to see by Will Heinrich at The New York Times. In January 2022, the duo curated Cosmic Geometries, a group exhibition of 25 artists at EFA Project Space, whichJillian Steinhauer of The New York Times called “a knockout exhibition.” CHROMAGICK, a series of new collaborative drawings using color magic and crystals was recently exhibited at Expo Chicago 2022. Hilma's Ghost projects have been positively reviewed in The New York Times, Hyperallergic, and Artnet.https://www.hilmasghost.com/https://www.instagram.com/hilmasghosthttps://www.dannielletegeder.com/https://sharmistharay.com/Follow Martin Benson for more insights:*To stay updated on the podcast and related content, check out my Instagram*To support the show and access exclusive content, consider subscribing for $0.99/month on Instagram (link above).Credits: Special thanks to Matthew Blankenship of The Sometimes Island for our podcast theme music!Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/martin-l-benson/support
In this episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green sits down with Alexander Berggruen, founder of Alexander Berggruen, as the gallery approaches its fifth anniversary. Alex reflects on key lessons learned over the past five years and shares what it's like to run a gallery in the competitive New York City art scene. In light of the recent Armory Show, he also discusses his strategy behind solo versus group presentations at art fairs. Additionally, they explore the vibrant UK art scene and why Alex has focused on exhibiting UK-based artists in New York. Alex further explains how growing up in a family-run gallery has influenced his approach and why he chose the Upper East Side for his gallery instead of Chelsea or Tribeca.
In this episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with Seoul-based art critic Andy St. Louis, founder of Seoul Art Friend and author of Future Present: Contemporary Korean Art. As Frieze Seoul approaches its third edition, Adam and Andy explore the fair's growing influence in the Korean art scene and how it has attracted global attention, especially from U.S. and European galleries. They also discuss the complexities of scheduling conflicts with the Armory Show in New York and the impact on international collectors. Andy shares insights on how certain galleries have successfully integrated into Seoul's art community and the current state of collecting in Korea. Finally, they dive into Andy's new book, which is the first English-language survey of millennial contemporary Korean artists, and reflect on why these artists haven't received as much global recognition despite Korea's rising presence in the art market.
In this episode, art historian Irene Walsh describes the now legendary Armory Show of 1913 in New York City. Irene wrote her PhD on art collector Lillie P Bliss, and she tells us about the groundbreaking show's shock value, the mockery that surrounded some of the paintings in it, and their unexpected effects on the American public and the art market. She tells us how the show led to the founding of New York's MoMa in 1929.

Happy Tuesday, book clubbers! This month, we read The Work by Bri Lee. The Work follows Lally, who has invested everything into her gallery in Manhattan and she's enjoying it because the sacrifices are finally paying off. We also follow Pat, a scholarship boy desperate to establish himself in Sydney's antiquities scene. When they meet at New York's Armory Show their chemistry is instant. But while the book follows their relationship and how it develops, we also follow their pretty flawed decision-making as they try to make it in the art world.

A conversation with Tony Karman, Founder, President and Director of EXPO CHICAGO. One of the top international art fairs, EXPO CHICAGO has become a key date on the art fair calendar by welcoming collectors, curators and museum directors from around the globe to Chicago's Navy Pier during the second week of April. In 2023, Frieze acquired the art fair along with the Armory Show with no plans for rebranding either. In the conversation, Tony talks about what makes EXPO CHICAGO unique, the strength of the Chicago arts community and the logistical challenges of executing an event of its size and scope.
The Frieze art fair has turned 20 this week, and is only growing in its ambitions, having acquired the Armory Show fair in New York and Expo Chicago. So what should we make of Frieze's continuing expansion and what's the mood at Frieze London and Frieze Masters this year? We talk to Tim Schneider, The Art Newspaper's acting art market editor, who is over from New York for the fairs. In Reykjavik in Iceland, the artist-run Sequences Biennial opens on Friday. A former curator of the event is Hildigunnur Birgisdóttir, who will represent Iceland at the Venice Biennale in 2024. Tom Seymour went to the Icelandic capital to talk to her about Venice, Sequences and the Icelandic scene. And this episode's Work of the Week is Open Window, Collioure (1905) by Henri Matisse. The painting is a highlight of the exhibition Vertigo of Colour: Matisse, Derain, and the Origins of Fauvism at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. We speak to Dita Amory, co-curator of the show, about this landmark painting in Matisse's career.Frieze London and Frieze Masters, Regent's Park, London, until 15 October.The Sequences Biennial, entitled Can't See, begins on 13 October and continues until 22 October 2023.Vertigo of Color: Matisse, Derain, and the Origins of Fauvism, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 13 October-21 January 2024; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 25 February-27 May 2024.

The fall art season is now officially in full swing. We've had a big round of fairs already around the world with the Armory Show, Independent 20th Century, Photofairs and more opening simultaneously in New York, and the second edition of Frieze Seoul and Kiaf Seoul taking place in Asia, plus all of the galleries and museums that have begun to roll out some of their biggest offerings of the year. This week Artnet News's national art critic Ben Davis speaks with with Europe editor Kate Brown and Art Detective columnist Katya Kazakina on another episode of the Art Angle Round Up to take on some of the topics that have been animating the art discussion for the past month. On the docket this week are three topics: why painting is suddenly achieving a state of total dominance in the art galleries, the latest developments around the spectacular $86 million criminal scheme associated with the former art dealer Inigo Philbrick and the spate of lawsuits swirling around the art market, and about the case of the artist who tried to take $84,000 from a Danish museum and call it art.

When you walked through the prestigious Armory Show a few weeks ago, April Bey's solo booth with Bahamas-based Tern Gallery, was the standout. The fair itself was quite strong, but there was something about walking into a universe, the April Bey universe, that was transcendental and hypnotic, immersive. Bey is political and poignant, with a sense of humor and harsh social critique that has been honed by both being a professor at Glendale College in California and practicing fine artist with solo and museum shows on the CV. The works are wide-ranging: installation, printmaking, photography, mixed-media, and the Atlantica series has become one of Bey's defining bodies of work. Bey grew up in The Bahamas, and on this episode of the Radio Juxtapoz podcast, Evan Pricco and Doug Gillen speak to Bey about youth, moving to the USA, being educated in the States versus a commonwealth, where their art comes from and how Bey's dad helped create the Atlantica world. There might be a Beyonce story, too. The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 120 was recorded in September 2023 in Margate, NYC and Los Angeles. Follow us on @radiojuxtapoz

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast we discuss last week's Frieze Seoul with Andy St. Louis, a Seoul-based art critic and founder of Seoul Art Friend, an online platform dedicated to promoting contemporary Korean art. First, Andy shares the mood of the contemporary art market in Seoul leading up to Frieze Seoul. Then, he reveals if there was any negative impact to this year's Frieze Seoul due to it occurring at the same time as The Armory Show in New York.

Lastly, Andy speaks on the strengthening relationships between Korean collectors and foreign galleries in large part due to the presence of the fair.
What does the future of the art market look like? It's a big and thorny question that cannot possibly be answered with a few simple words. From the big picture issues like how artificial intelligence will factor into business decisions and the global economic situation, to the smaller and more particular aspects, like which multi-million dollar collections will hit the block, and what the expansion of mega-galleries means for the art ecosystem... there are a lot of factors at play. At the Armory Show's Live event last week, Artnet News's senior market reporter Eileen Kinsella hosted a panel of experts including collector Alain Servais, art advisor Megan Fox Kelly, and gallerist Suzanne Veilmetter to discuss what the future may hold. Megan Fox Kelley is the founder and director of Megan Fox Kelley Art Advisory, as well as a member and former president of the Association of Professional Art Advisors. Her practice includes advising clients on acquisitions and sales of works of art for their collections, estate planning and execution, strategic planning, and feasibility studies for museums, exhibition planning and administration, collection management, and fine art appraisal services. Suzanne Vielmetter is the founder and director of Vielmetter Los Angeles. Since founding the gallery in 2000, she has been committed to presenting artists from a wide range of diverse backgrounds with a focus on idea-based and political work. Alain Servais is a globally-recognized collector and founder of the Servais Family Collection. For more than 20 years, Servais has focused on underrepresented and museum quality art, which he believes is significant and worthy of preservation. This week on the podcast, we present the live-recording from the Armory Show event.

Also, Nicole shares how exhibiting galleries are feeling about the art market as we head into the fair. Lastly, Nicole reacts to the major news of Frieze Art Fair acquiring The Armory Show.

Curious about what's been going on with the art market? Auction results in the first half of 2023 paint a picture of a market undergoing a correction of some kind, but all may not be as it seems in the secretive world of auctions. In this midyear review episode, our President Luyang Jiang asks veteran art advisor (and TBF founder) Josh Baer: Is the art market going through a slowdown, a major correction, or not? Josh explains how one collector can make or break a market, and compares our current market environment with past hiccups. Listen as he shares his experiences living through the art market's only real crash in the early 90s, when he closed his gallery. Josh also reveals market insights behind recent art business news like Frieze art fair's acquisition of competitor fairs EXPO Chicago and New York's Armory Show, plus his recent travels throughout Asia, and even the Barbie movie.
It used to be that the art news slowed down in the summer months, but these days, it seems like the art news never takes a break. So we're trying something a little different this week. With so much going on, instead of interviewing just one person for the podcast, we have three of our best writer-editors together to chat about some of the stories that have been in the air in July. This week, Artnet News global art critic Ben Davis speaks to Europe editor Kate Brown and business editor Tim Schneider about three stories. The first item is the news that Frieze, the international art fair chain, has acquired New York's flagship fair Armory Show and Expo Chicago, and what that means for the state of the art market. The second item covers recent developments in the world of NFTs, including a drop from the Jackson Pollock Studio that sold out within the first few hours, and Melania Trump's skirmish with NASA about some space-themed NFTs, plus the state of crypto in the art world at large. Finally, the trio discuss how artists have dealt with Barbie in the past, as a subject of inspiration and satire, and the release of both Greta Gerwig's film based on the Mattel doll and Christopher Nolan's opus on Robert Oppenheimer are filtering through the culture—and which side the art world comes down on in the big Barbie versus Oppenheimer face off.

Within the New York City of Edward Hopper's imagination, the skyscrapers have vanished, the sidewalks are mysteriously wide and all the diners and Chop Suey restaurants are sparsely populated with well-dressed lonely people.In this art-filled episode of the Bowery Boys, Tom and Greg look at Hopper's life, influence and specific fascination with the city, inspired by the recent show Edward Hopper's New York at the Whitney Museum of American Art.Hopper, a native of the Hudson River town of Nyack, painted New York City for over half a decade. In reality, the city experienced Prohibition and the Jazz Age, two world wars and the arrival of automobiles. But not in Hopper's world.In his most famous work Nighthawks (1942), figures from a dreamlike film appear trapped in an aquarium-shaped diner. But Hopper has captured something else in this iconic painting: fear and paranoia. No wonder he's considered a huge influence on Hollywood film noir and detective stories.Hopper painted New York from his studio overlooking Washington Square Park, and both he and his wife Josephine Nivison Hopper would become true fixtures of the Greenwich Village scene.PLUS: Tom visits the Edward Hopper House in Nyack, New York, to talk the artist's early life with executive director Kathleen Motes Bennewitz. And Greg finds some of the hidden puzzles in Hopper's paintings thanks to American art historian Rena Tobey.Visit the website for more pictures and other interesting information from this episode.Other Bowery Boys episodes related to this one:-- The Armory Show of 1913-- Jane Jacobs: Saving Greenwich Village-- New York University: A School For The Metropolis-- Tragic Muse: The Life of Audrey Munson

For this episode, we asked artist, mother, and activist Tanya Aguiñiga which artist she would most wish to speak with and she chose visual artist and curator Julio César Morales. The pair discuss the versatility of the border experience, unlikely influences, and functional art practices. This episode is in partnership with The Armory Show. Both artists appearing in the episode are part of the curated sections of the fair's 2022 edition. Tanya Aguiñiga's work is presented by Volume Gallery in Focus, curated by Carla Acevedo-Yates, while Julio César Morales's piece La Linea is presented by Gallery Wendi Norris in Platform, curated by Tobias Ostrander. Tanya Aguiñiga is an artist, designer, and craftsperson, who works with traditional craft materials like natural fibers and collaborates with other artists and activists to create sculptures, installations, performances, and community-based art projects. In her installations, furniture, and wearable designs, Aguiñiga often works with cotton, wool, and other textiles, drawing upon Mesoamerican weaving and traditional forms. Her solo exhibitions include the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Museum of Arts and Design. Additional exhibitions have been held at the Annenberg Space for Photography, and the Craft and Folk Art Museum—among others. Julio César Morales investigates issues of migration, underground economies, and labor on the personal and global scales. Morales's practice explores diverse mediums specific to each project or body of work. He has painted watercolor illustrations that diagram human trafficking methods, employed the DJ turntable, produced video and time-based pieces, and reenacted a famous meal—all to elucidate social interactions and political perspectives. Morales's work has been shown at SFMOMA, Museo Rufino Tamayo, LACMA, Hammer Museum, Muca Roma, Prospect 3 Biennale, Lyon Biennale, and Istanbul Biennale among others.

Episode No. 558 features author Hugh Eakin and artist Jordan Weber. Eakin is the author of "Picasso's War: How Modern Art Came to America," which tells a story of how New York City slowly, eventually, came to embrace both European modernism and the art of Pablo Picasso. Eakin's history begins with John Quinn, a white-shoe attorney with a yen for progressive literature and art, and follow's Quinn's involvement and influence across New York and Europe, through the Armory Show, Alfred Barr, and more. The book is full of original research, new angles that give life to once-ossified narratives, and bright, well-paced prose. Indiebound and Amazon offer it for about $33. Jordan Weber discusses "All Our Liberations," an art installation and space for community learning, reflection and healing organized by the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in Saint Louis. The project, which runs from July 16-24, takes place at the Spring Church near the Pulitzer in Saint Louis's Grand Center Arts District. The project includes a three-tiered sculpture Weber made with black obsidian stones and participation from collaborators Weber met during a 2021 residency. During the week-long program Weber will host programs for both formerly incarcerated individuals and members of the public. Urban farmers, healers, and organizers from Close the Workhouse -- a Saint Louis-area campaign working to end mass incarceration -- are Weber's programming co-host. In April 2023, Weber will expand "All Our Liberation" as part of Counterpublic, a city-wide triennial.

Gabriel Guerra Bianchini (Havana, 1984), as a visual poet, slips around a powerful sensitivity that leads him to imagine new senses, and whose first virtue is expressed in overlapping the harshness of daily. Reality, according to his creed, deserves to be reinvented. With more than thirty exhibitions throughout his career, such as "...Es la esperanza", the first outdoor exhibition at Havana Cathedral Square, in its 498 years of history; and "Utopia" the largest outdoor photographic exhibition held on the Paseo del Prado during the 13th Havana Biennial. Invited by SeeMe Community, he was present at The Armory Show and the Chashama Gala in Time Square on June 2018. Some of his pieces were also exhibited at MIA Photo Fair 2018 in Milan. His photographs have been part of prestigious musician's records such as Silvio Rodríguez, Leo Brouwer, Pablo Milanés, Francisco Céspedes and Harold López-Nussa. He has worked at international events like Rio Loco and Pause Guitare in France, Viva América in Spain and Cuba's most important music events, including The Rolling Stone concert, Diplo & Major Lazer performance, Leo Brouwer's Chamber Music Festival, Havana World Music, Jazz Plaza and many more. Bianchini has recently released his first audiovisual, for the song "Noche sin fin y mar" by Silvio Rodríguez.

I had the pleasure of talking with Gallerist, Friedrich Loock in his beautiful gallery in Berlin, Germany and we discussed a wide range of topics including: Berlin when the wall came down, Disco and Punk in the same night, The art market is a marathon not a sprint, To be successful you need to not give up when things become difficult, and it is always difficult, Struggling artistically is the same no matter how much money an artist has, German support for the arts and artists, Less corporate sponsorship in the arts, Gallery roster of artists is based on the gallerists interests, It took me 4 years to sell my first painting, Sell the story, Artist statements, Artist that are expressive and reflective are often successful, Feedback and dialogues are necessary, Art is a form of communication, Write artists statement collaboratively with a friend, writer, curator, or gallerist., All art sales are 100% chance, the lack of stability in the art world, Life is a dialogue, Alec Soth, Pricing of editions, Tiered pricing, Analog vs digital prints (darkroom vs inkjet), Artists should work with galleries that are at equal levels to them. Do not expect to work with top galleries only, grow with your gallery. http://loock.info About Friedrich Loock born 1968 in Berlin, Germany. In 1988 Loock founded the gallery Wohnmaschine,the name deriving from Le Corbusier's architectural theory. „I first chose it to describe my personal exhibition concept when I started showing art in my private apartment in East Berlin.“ Over the years Loock developed a broad international program with very different artists all sharing a common interest in the investigation of narrative, fictional and figurative tendencies in contemporary art. Wohnmaschine has participated in a wide range of international art fairs including Art Forum Berlin, art cologne, ARCO, MACO, and the Armory Show.

In 1919, two competing art movements went head-to-head in Paris. One was the Return to Order, a movement about purity and harmony. The other was Dada, a movement about chaos and destruction. Their collision would change the trajectory of Western art. Hugo Ball established the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, where Dada came to life in February 1916. In this photo, he's dressed in his "magic bishop" costume. The costume was so stiff and ungainly that Ball had to be carried on and off stage. You can hear the entire text of Ball's "Karawane" on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_8Wg40F3yo). You can also read the text (https://poets.org/poem/karawane). Marcel Duchamp arrived in New York to a hero's welcome, a far cry from the disdainful treatment he was receiving in France. He was hailed for his success at the 1913 Armory Show, where his painting "Nude Descending a Staircase" was the hit of the show. "Nude Descending a Staircase" was considered radical art, but it was still oil paint on canvas. Duchamp would soon leave even that much tradition behind. Francis Picabia was handsome, rich, dashing, and about as faithful as an alley cat. That he wasn't court martialed for neglecting his diplomat mission to Cuba for artistic shenanigans in New York was entirely due to his family's wealth and influence. He was also well known in New York for his visit there during the Armory Show. Picabia abandoned traditional painting for meticulous line drawings of mass-produced items, including this work, titled "Young American Girl in a State of Nudity." Duchamp horrified New Yorkers when he presented "Fountain" to an art exhibit as a work of sculpture. A urinal may not seem particularly shocking now, but it violated any number of taboos in 1917. While "Fountain" is generally atttributed to Duchamp, it is possible, although by no mean certain, that it was actually created by the Baroness Else von Freytag-Loringhoven. A German ex-pat, she was creating art out of ready-made objects more than a year before Duchamp and lived her life as a kind of non-stop performance art. Whatever her role in "Fountain," she deserves to be better remembered as a pioneering modernist. After he returned to Europe, Picabia's art became less disciplined and more outlandish. He titled this ink-blot "The Virgin Saint." Picabia also published a Dadaist journal, in which he published this work by Duchamp. It's a cheap postcard of the "Mona Lisa" to which he added a mustache. The title "L.H.O.O.Q. is a pun in French; it sounds like "she has a hot ass." Tzara and other Dadaists in Paris devoted themselves to events and performances. This is a handbill for a "Festival Dada" that took place on May 26, 1920. Tzara and Picabia are listed as performing, along with several other prominent Dadaists including Andre Breton, Louis Aragon, and Paul Eluard. These evenings became increasingly frantic and nihilistic as Dada wore on. By 1919, Pablo Picasso part of the artistic establishment and no longer a radical on the edges of society. In 1911/1912, Picasso paintings looked like this--this is "Ma Jolie," a dense, complicated, frankly intimidating Cubist painting. Ten years later, he painted this work, Woman in White. With its clarity, beauty, and nods to tradition, it is a prime example of Picasso's embrace of neo-classicism after the Great War. The impulse to create clear, simple, ordered art existed in many European countries. In the Netherlands, Piet Mondrian worked in the Neoplasticist movement creating his iconic grid paintings. This is "Composition No. 2" from 1920. At the same time, in Germany the Bauhaus was established. As a school of arts and crafts, it taught a stripped-down, clean aesthetic that applied to everything from architecture to furniture design, industrial design to graphic design. This poster advertising a 1923 exhibition is a good example of Bauhaus design and typography. The Surrealist movement arose out of Dada's ashes in the mid- to late-1920s. It combined the traditional painting technique of neo-Classicism with the bizarre imagery of Dada. Salvador Dali's "Persistence of Memory," for example, is a technical masterpiece, with masterful execution. It's also impossible and, frankly, disturbing. T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" gives the impression of randomness, of lines picked out of a coat pocket. In fact, it is painstakingly constructed and shows as much technical skill as Dali's clocks. You can read the poem (https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47311/the-waste-land), or listen to Alec Guinness read it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcj4G45F9pw)--or maybe do both at the same time. This meme was created in 2013 by cartoonist KC Green. It captures the Dadaist attitude that shows up in popular culture a great deal here in 2019--a sense that the world is really weird right now.

Our world and the ways in which we perceive and understand it are both shaped and reflected by art. This is especially true when it comes to nations and the stories they tell of themselves. Focusing on American identity, this podcast was recorded during a live panel discussion between Lauren Haynes (curator of contemporary art at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas), Paul Anthony Smith (artist), Antwaun Sargent (critic) and host Charlotte Burns at The Armory Show in New York earlier this month. From the question of whether there are “American” artists today to what it means to consider oneself American; from representation within museums to how morality is dealt with in US culture, our guests ask how institutions, and the art world at large, are working to foster a more expansive narrative.
