Podcasts about autry museum

This week's episode features not one but two conversations—with Aron and Strauss—which, while it may sound like a jazz-age songwriting duo, is in fact a pairing of two distinguished historians: Stephen Aron and Barry Strauss. They join our ongoing series of interviews exploring historians' early love of the past and the essential role of intellectual humility in historical thinking. First up is Stephen Aron, Professor Emeritus of History at UCLA and President and CEO of the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles. The Autry is one of the nation's foremost museums dedicated to the art, history, and cultures of the American West. It weaves together scholarship, public exhibitions, and community engagement to tell stories that cross boundaries—geographic, temporal, and cultural. Aron is a pioneering historian of frontiers, borderlands, and Western American history. In Episode 289, we spoke about all three—while also discussing his long effort to bridge the gap between academic and public history. As both a professor and a museum leader, Aron has spent decades bringing historical thinking into the public square. My second guest this week is Barry Strauss, the Bryce and Edith M. Bowmar Professor in Humanistic Studies at Cornell University. A scholar of ancient Greece and Rome, Strauss is well known for combining academic rigor with public engagement, writing widely read books on classical antiquity, military history, and leadership. Strauss is no stranger to Historically Thinking—he's appeared on the podcast several times before, in Episodes 11, 45, and 256, where we've discussed the death of Caesar, the intellectual achievement of Thucydides, and the war that made the Roman Empire. He is also a recipient of the 2024 Bradley Prize, awarded by the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to American intellectual and civic life. The prize honors leaders whose work—whether in education, history, law, or public policy—strengthens the foundations of a free society.  

In this week's episode of then & now, we present a recording of a recent panel discussion focusing on L.A. wildfires past, present, and future. This program is part of the “Why History Matters” series presented by the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Department of History—a series dedicated to the belief that historical knowledge is an indispensable, and often missing, ingredient in public debate.”Why History Matters: L.A. Wildfires Past, Present, and Future,” brought experts together to explore how historical and indigenous perspectives can reshape our understanding of wildfires, especially in light of the devastating Los Angeles County fires in January 2025. The discussion, anchored in the Fowler Museum at UCLA's “Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art” exhibition, interrogates prevailing narratives that frame fire solely as a destructive force, instead foregrounding indigenous epistemologies that recognize fire as a vital ecological process and a generational resource. Professors Hitoshi Abe, Gerald Clarke, Jr., and Char Miller distinguish three primary drivers of contemporary wildfire crises: climate change, fire suppression policies, and patterns of urban expansion into fire-prone landscapes. To more effectively mitigate and adapt to the escalating risks posed by wildfires, these panelists discuss ways to integrate traditional ecological knowledge with contemporary land management and urban policy.Moderator:Stephen Aron is the Calvin and Marilyn Gross Director and President of the Autry Museum of the American West. A specialist in the history of frontiers, borderlands, and the American West, Dr. Aron holds degrees from Amherst College (B.A.) and the University of California, Berkeley (M.A., Ph.D.).Panelists:Hitoshi Abe is a Professor in the Department of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of California, Los Angeles. Professor Abe is currently the director of Paul I. and Hisako Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies and holds the Terasaki Chair for contemporary Japanese study. In 2017, he established xLAB, an international think tank initiative that examines architecture's elastic boundaries and considers new possibilities through interdisciplinary collaboration in the study of the future built environment.Gerald Clarke Jr. is a Professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies and Special Advisor to the Chancellor on Native American Relations at the University of California, Riverside. He is an enrolled member of the Cahuilla Band of Indians and lives on the Cahuilla Indian Reservation. Gerald oversees the Clarke family cattle ranch and remains heavily involved in Cahuilla culture. Char Miller is the W.M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis and History at Pomona College. His teaching and research reflect his fascination with all things environmental. Classes on U.S. environmental history, water in the U.S. West, and public lands management, like those on urbanization and the interplay between the natural and built landscapes, have deeply informed his writing.

[Western Art] Co-publisher Adolfo Castillo returns to the show to speak with executive editor Michael Clawson about the February 2025 issue of Western Art Collector magazine. Michael discusses features related to the Autry Museum of the American West, a drawing show at Medicine Man Gallery and Western Horizons at Legacy Gallery. Special sections in the issue include sections on Western still life paintings and wilderness areas in North America. They also discuss the magazine's first-ever bronze cover featuring the work of John Coleman. Learn more about the magazine by visiting westernartcollector.com.

In the fourth episode of the Why AxS podcast—where brilliant scientific and artistic minds ponder the important whys—we explore the rise of Futurism in Indigenous art as a means of enduring colonial trauma and envisioning a more inclusive and sustainable future. We're joined by Virgil Ortiz, a Pueblo artist known for his traditional Cochiti figurative pottery and experimentations with science-fiction storytelling.  Ortiz's art is a testament to his boundless imagination and his ability to push boundaries. He creates art the way his ancestors did while interweaving futuristic, sci-fi themes that bring light to untold histories. ReVOlt 1680/2180: Sirens & Sikas, for instance, unearths the artistry and significant history of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, the only successful Native uprising against a colonizing power in North America (which you've likely never heard of.) The striking piece is part of an exhibition currently on view at the Autry Museum of the American West entitled Future Imaginaries: Art, Fashion, Technology. The Autry's Amy Scott  joins this episode of the Why AxS to weigh in on the complex ideas animating an exhibition featuring over 50 works exploring representing a diverse array of Native cultures.  Part of Getty's PST ART: Art & Science Collide (as is this podcast), the exhibition also opens audiences to the significance of non-Western knowledge, especially when it comes to climate change. This is where our third guest, Dr. Daniel Wildcat, comes in. The professor and highly accomplished scholar works to incorporate Indigenous knowledge and culture into federal policy.  Join us for a lesson left out of the history books, as we imagine a more inclusive and sustainable future.   

A wonderful way to spend an afternoon is finding two people that walk into your gallery (or in this case my new Maynard Dixon & Native American Art Museum) who are authorities on Charles Lummis. Christian Rodriguez, who is the curator of the Lummis House (AKA El Alisal), and Kim Walters, who was the archivist for there for decades are both experts on this bigger than life individual. The three of us discuss this man's life and just go back and forth sharing a massive amount of information on a person that was critically important to an artist that I specialize in, Maynard Dixon.It's really fun because it's just we're all beaming in on what was important or how we saw it. I saw Lummis in a particular light based on my understanding of his and Dixon's relationship. The truth is he was such a complex and nuanced person in many different ways. He's still important to California and to the story of the West as a whole. In fact, he was one of the individuals responsible for the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles, which opened in 1907 and was absorbed by the Autry Museum in 2003. I just found it so fascinating and the conversation went on for two hours. There were things that I came away with going "okay, I didn't know this" or "I definitely want to learn more about this."  Now I plan on doing some follow up research because all of these good answers lead to better and better questions. My question to you is - do you want to just see how individuals who really love what they do interact, talk about  their expertise, and contemplate the inner-workings of one singular individual? Well in that case, this is the one for you.

This week's guest is Ronald Davis, curator of American History at the Witte Museum, a position he has held since January 2023.

Then, Phil talks about what is going on his beloved Siren Radio in the UK. A petition has been launched to try and save the station to which Phil has been contributing for more than 12 years (read and, if so moved, sign the petition at https://www.change.org/p/support-our-siren-saving-siren-radio-lincoln-s-first-community-radio-station). This leads to a discussion of curated experiences and supposedly outmoded media. From there, the conversation switches to the impact of Bicycle Thieves on the big screen and that classic's influence on Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. The surprising good news of a just-released global box office smash hit gets cheered. Of course, "awards season" is reaching its climax, and Dean and Phil analyze what we can know will happen at the Oscars based on this weekend's SAG Awards.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, Emily chats with Patrick Martinez, a mixed media visual artist from Los Angeles.About Artist Patrick Martinez:Patrick Martinez maintains a diverse practice that includes mixed media landscape paintings, neon sign pieces, cake paintings, and his Pee Chee series of appropriative works. The landscape paintings are abstractions composed of Los Angeles surface content; e.g. distressed stucco, spray paint, window security bars, vinyl signage, ceramic tile, neon sign elements, and other recognizable materials. These works serve to evoke place and socio-economic position, and further unearth sites of personal, civic and cultural loss.Patrick's neon sign works are fabricated to mirror street level commercial signage, but are remixed to present words and phrases drawn from literary and oratorical sources. His acrylic on panel Cake paintings memorialize leaders, activists, and thinkers, and the Pee Chee series documents the threats posed to black and brown youth by law enforcement.Patrick Martinez (b. 1980, Pasadena, CA) earned his BFA with honors from Art Center College of Design in 2005. His work has been exhibited domestically and internationally in Los Angeles, Mexico City, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Miami, New York, Seoul, and the Netherlands, and at venues including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Brooklyn Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, the Smithsonian NMAAHC, the Tucson Museum of Art, the Buffalo AKG Museum, the Columbus Museum of Art, the Vincent Price Art Museum, the Museum of Latin American Art, the Crocker Art Museum, the Rollins Art Museum, the California African American Museum, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, and El Museo del Barrio, among others.Patrick's work resides in the permanent collections the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Broad Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles (MOCA), the Rubell Museum, the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, the California African American Museum, the Autry Museum of the American West, the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Tucson Museum of Art, the Pizzuti Collection of the Columbus Museum of Art, the University of North Dakota Permanent Collection, the JPMorgan Chase Art Collection, the Crocker Art Museum, the Escalette Permanent Collection of Art at Chapman University, the Manetti-Shrem Museum of Art at UC Davis, the Rollins Museum of Art, and the Museum of Latin American Art, among others.Patrick was awarded a 2020 Rauschenberg Residency on Captiva Island, FL.

Gina Duran started out on a Somatic Journey which evolved into a SOMATIC AWAKENING. She has been on a healing journey for years: yoga, talk therapy, EMDR, art, massage therapy and plant medicine. However, her body was holding a lot of physical pain (related to her life experiences). She had learned to soldier on, to live with it and had various ways to find relief temporarily. She had taken few of my classes years ago and we had connected as yoga colleagues. She felt drawn to somatic bodywork and finally reached out to initiate the conversation. As we embarked on a 10 week series of sessions, her pain began to lessen and eventually vanish. In the process, Gina was able to recover memories and come to terms with trauma that she has been holding unconsciously. In this beautiful interview Gina shares about: -Her work as an Artist, Activist and Poet -The experience of consciously revisiting and integrating traumatic life events -Noticing her body deeply shift and change, her voice and her expression become more authentic -Her use of plant medicine as a way to open up to self-love and integrate somatic bodywork -Collective love and self-love and how communities need both to thrive and evolve and so much more! Working with Gina has been deeply inspiring and exciting for me, she was holding so much and it's deeply satisfying to see her feeling free, happy and at ease in her body. I look forward to seeing what incredible work she bings forward in this new chapter of her life.

The history of the American West has typically been told in one of two ways: as triumph, or as tragedy. Stephen Aron, accomplished scholar of the West, Professor Emeritus at UCLA, and President of the Autry Museum of the American West, argues that both of these narratives flatten out what was actually a much more complicated story.  Peace and Friendship: An Alternative History of the American West (Oxford UP, 2022), Aron zooms in on several moments of contingency in the Western past, moments when people of often radically different backgrounds came together to build community, or at least lived peacefully, despite their differences. Although these moments eventually fell apart, Aron argues that they show that the past was unwritten until it came to pass, and that our own uncertain future is the same. Peace and Friendship offers important lessons about the power of history and contingency, and underscores the unsettled nature of human events and our capacity for overcoming even our deepest differences.

I had a very interesting talk with Jim Rea today. Jim helps run the Masters show at the Autry Museum along with his wife, Jodie. We get the whole story of - not only the Autry show and how it began - but of how Jim, who started out in accounting, ends up being a critical component in this very important art show at an important museum.Jim is a guy who really liked art but wasn't trained in art. Just the opposite. He's a numbers guy. That being said, he sees the world change before his very eyes as he gets exposed to more and more to great art throughout his life. From 1998 until now, Jim and Jodie have managed to put together a collection of 150 spectacular paintings.So even without his commitment and affiliation to the Autry, he's an important collector. His story is one that gives hope to all those out there just starting their own collections. There's a message you can take away from the podcast and it's that you can go from not having anything to do with the art world, to actually being a leader in the field. So this is Art Dealer Diaries  Podcast #255 with Jim Rea.

Beau Alexander is the owner and operator of Maxwell Alexander Gallery, a world-renowned art gallery that curates and celebrates “a new breed of fine art” here in the American West and beyond. Beau and his brother, the famed western artist Logan Maxwell Hagege, officially opened the gallery back in 2012, and their goals were simple: Represent one-of-a-kind artists, put the artists' interests first, and serve as a trusted resource for a wide range of collectors around the globe. After many years of scrappy hard work and outside-the-box thinking, Maxwell Alexander Gallery has become a cornerstone of the Western art world. - Beau was born and raised in Los Angles, and from an early age, he showed a talent for entrepreneurship and marketing. He and his brother Logan started a number of businesses together, combining their proclivity for creativity with the tireless work ethic they learned from their immigrant father. As Logan's art career exploded, they both saw an opportunity to create an art gallery that takes care of its artists and clients– one that plays the long game and is deeply invested in the people behind the art… not solely focused on making a sale. So, in 2012 they opened Maxwell Alexander Gallery and have steadily risen to the top of the western contemporary art world. And just a few weeks ago, Beau was awarded the Autry Museum's John J. Geraghty Award, which recognizes an individual for his or her Advancement of Contemporary Western art. - Beau and I met last fall in L.A. at Maxwell Alexander Gallery's 10 Year Anniversary Exhibition, so I was thrilled to have him join me for a more in-depth conversation about his journey in western art. We started by discussing his upbringing in LA and how entrepreneurship has always been a part of his life. We discuss some of the good and bad aspects of the old-school art gallery world that sparked the idea to start Maxwell Alexander Gallery. We discussed the early days of the business, and how he had to grind and be extremely creative in order to gain a foothold in the art world. We also discuss his irreverent, often times hilarious, approach to using social media as a marketing tool and the importance of introducing new collectors to western art. We discuss art valuation, the importance of treating people fairly, his other artistic influences, and his brother Logan's evolution as an artist. - We talk a lot about Logan and the 10 Year Anniversary exhibition– you can listen to those podcasts by following the links in the episode notes. But for now, I hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation with Beau Alexander. --- Maxwell Alexander Gallery Maxwell Alexander Gallery on Instagram Live podcast from the 10th Anniversary Exhibition M&P podcast with Logan Maxwell Hagege --- SUPPORT Mountain & Prairie via PATREON --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 3:45 – Setting the scene in Beau's year leading up to starting the Maxwell Alexander Gallery 10:00 – Discussing Beau's time studying business, before which he had actually started his own business 14:00 – How Beau prioritizes relationships in his business 17:30 – Beau's process of evaluating artwork 21:30 – How the Maxwell Alexander Gallery is different from other art galleries 24:00 – When Beau figured out that the Maxwell Alexander Gallery was a unique idea to run with in the art world, and the early process of establishing the gallery 29:45 – Discussing Beau's unconventional ways of advertising the gallery 31:15 – How long it took for the established art community to recognize and embrace the Maxwell Alexander Gallery model 36:45 – Discussing the 10 Year Anniversary of the gallery 39:30 – Talking about the finances and value of art 49:30 – Advice for young art collectors 52:30 – Beau's favorite art 59:30 – Beau's other influences outside of painting and sculpture, as well as the impact Logan Maxwell has had on the art world --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

On this Episode, MHD and co-host, Chavonne Taylor, speak with historians Dr. Jessica Kim and Esperanza Sanchez about the little-known African Ancestry of Los Pobladores, the founders of Los Angeles. Jessica Kim, PhD, is an associate professor of history at California State University, Northridge.  She specializes in the history of the American West, the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, urban history, and public and digital history.  Her book, Imperial Metropolis: Los Angeles, Mexico, and the Borderlands of American Empire, 1865-1941, was published by the University of North Carolina Press in 2019. The book explores the rise of Los Angeles and investment in Mexico. Esperanza Sanchez is the Associate Curator at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes. She holds a Master of Arts in History with a focus on public history and a Bachelor of Arts in History with an emphasis on US, Europe, and Latin America foreign relations, and a minor in sociology, both from California State University, Northridge. She previously held archival, curatorial, and educational positions at the Autry Museum of the American West, the Museum of Latin American Art, and California State University, Northridge. In 2016, as part of the CSUN Public History Program, Professor Kim along with her students, including Esperanza at the time, collaborated with El Pueblo de Los Angeles, the USC-Huntington Institute on California and the West, as well as the National Parks Conservation Association on an exhibit that emphasized the role of individuals of African descent in the founding of Los Angeles. The exhibition, titled Forgotten Founders: The Hidden African Ancestry of Los Angeles, highlighted the unique, diverse, and often overlooked LA history.

Had Mick Doellinger on today. Wow. He has got an interesting life. At 18 months old his family experiences an extremely traumatic event when the ship that his parents are taking to emigrate from Germany to Australia sinks in the Indian Ocean. So that's where it starts, folks. It's clear to me when I listen to this man talk that he was always meant to be a sculptor. He had to find his calling by wading through the different trials and components of a life where staying afloat is the main priority. He was a taxidermist. He worked the rodeo.  He was a butcher. All of these jobs and experiences contributed to forming an oddly specific skill set and ultimately he found his calling as a wildlife sculptor.Mick is one of the foremost wildlife sculptors out there. He's in many of the top museums and galleries in the country. So he's a very interesting indivudual. I had a great time with Mick Doellinger on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 232.You can see Mick's work in the Masters of the American West show at the Autry Museum of the American West. https://masters.theautry.org/search?q=mick+doellinger

Some people are just meant to be artists. John Fawcett is one of those individuals. He has a great story and I had a wonderful time talking with him. You see, John was a veterinarian before becoming a full-time artist. He worked with small animals and big animals alike and loved horses since he was a kid, having bought his first horse at age ten. For a long while, John was committed to building a respected veterinary practice, but at his core, he was an artist. Finally, he got to the point where all that pent-up creativity couldn't be held back any longer. Fast-forward to today and he's been an artist longer than he was a vet. John took the plunge in 1992, painting and selling artwork when he could. Now he's a renowned watercolor and oil painter of the West, focusing primarily on Native American subjects, horses, and cowboys.This was a really fun podcast. John is an interesting guy, and I've always been a fan of his work. Please enjoy Western Oil and watercolor painter John Fawcett on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 231.You can see John Fawcett's paintings at the Masters of the American West Art Exhibition and Sale at the Autry Museum of the American West through March 23, 2023.

For over a generation the history of the American West has been described by scholars as one of violence, including genocide, ethnic-cleansing, and settler colonialism. While it replaced an older history which spoke of “winning the West” and the triumph of civilization, curiously enough both the old and the now aging histories of the west focused on violence. After all, in the popular imagination, every Western town hosted a gunfight in its one street on a nearly daily basis. But what if amidst the violence there were also moments of concord and overcoming difference? What if these moments of concord played out in more or less the same place and time as moments of violence?

This week we are joined by archivist Jacqueline Stewart and historian Tyree Boyd-Pates to discuss the power of museum curation. The role of the museum curator is critical to the way that museums are experienced. We begin by discussing museums as “safe spaces for dangerous ideas” – in other words, how museums can be harbingers of racist and colonialist rhetoric when spaces are improperly curated. Museums can not only present history through materials, but also have the power to represent the present materials. We then discuss how museums can be spaces of change through seeing not only more presentation of anti-colonial materials, but also seeing those materials represented through an anti-colonial gaze. The guests stress the importance of having more African American curators in order to not only tell the history of a people, but of the community as well.Jacqueline Stewart is film scholar, archivist, curator and a Professor in the Department of Cinema and Media Studies and the College, Director of Arts + Public Life at the University of Chicago. She is also the Chief artistic and programming officer at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
