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. In the fall of 2021 Patrick was the subject of a solo museum exhibition at the Tucson Museum of Art entitled Look What You Created. In 2022, Patrick was awarded a residency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts. This year, Patrick's suite of ten neon pieces purchased by the Whitney Museum of American Art is on yearlong exhibition installed in the Kenneth C. Griffin Hall in the entrance of the Museum. In September 2023, Patrick opened a solo exhibition at the ICA San Francisco titled Ghost Land and in November of 2023 Patrick will exhibit in Desire, Knowledge, and Hope (with Smog) at The Broad Museum in Los Angeles, CA. Patrick will be the subject of an expansive solo exhibition at the Dallas Contemporary opening in April 2024.

The Los Angeles Times joins a slate of news and media companies, including Spotify, Buzzfeed News, and NPR, that have laid off employees in recent months. Rising to fame in the 1980s, Keith Haring's graffiti-inspired drawings became synonymous with HIV/AIDS activism. His legacy is the focus of a new exhibition at The Broad Museum. Critics review the latest film releases: “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” “The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster,” “Lynch/Oz,” and “Flamin' Hot.” At the height of World War II, Mexican American youth in LA were targeted in the Zoot Suit Riots. Many prominent Black Angelenos came to their defense.
Sometimes the best way to cope with anxiety over the climate crisis is to focus on something you can control. So why not start with your trash? The beloved video store Vidiots reopens its doors this week with a bigger collection of film rarities, and a new movie theater. Artist Keith Haring is known for painting radiant babies and barking dogs through simple line work. His first-ever LA museum exhibition is now at the Broad Museum.

Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, internationally acclaimed artist William Kentridge engages with politics and memory through a variety of forms – from charcoal drawings, animation and sculptures, to immersive videos, theatre and opera. His 2022 exhibition at London's Royal Academy was hailed as "enthralling," an "operatic epic," while Kentridge's current retrospective at L.A.'s Broad Museum has been called "extraordinary." He spoke to Eleanor Wachtel about his work and career, as well as his recent "lockdown" project, a series of films about Kentridge's life in the studio, called "Self-Portrait as a Coffee Pot," which had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall.

“On November 10 the museum will turn 10 years old. When the museum opened and was founded in 2012, there was a great outpouring and show of support and excitement," says Bridges. "That's continued through the years, and we've softened some of the hard angles, if you will, of the museum to bring in a better diversity of audiences and build a sense of inclusivity. The museum is on this campus in service to MSU and to the broader mid-Michigan region that we serve. We offer a wide range of exhibitions, and we promote faculty and student engagement with the museum. But these are also areas I think we can really lean into further and develop more. We want to bring out the collection formally known as the Kresge Art Museum Collection and make sure that it's a pivotal hallmark piece of who we are as an institution.”Bridges discusses the September 17 (B)road to Ten fundraising event benefitting the new Open Storage Center—a project designed to bring major parts of the collection out of private, offsite storage and into the museum for public enjoyment. And he highlights other exhibits and events at the museum.“There's a great opportunity for us to continue to embed ourselves and integrate ourselves across campus. We're a part of the university arts and culture and collections unit on campus now. And this integration of arts across campus is really important. While we hope that people always come and visit us, I want to make a concerted effort to get the arts into classrooms and into other areas of campus and make those connections to make sure that all students and all faculty understand the importance of working arts into the curriculum and into the experience more generally at the university.“Where we're located on campus is a huge benefit to us being at the gateway between the university campus and our greater communities, but there's a lot more campus that sits to the south of us and all around us. Breaking down some of those barriers, shortening those distances, and making sure that people understand that we exist here for them and in the service of them is important to me. That takes a lot of work. It takes a lot of outreach, a lot of communication, and a lot of relationship building. It's an opportunity to work with a wide range of people. Asserting the role of the arts on campus and the importance of arts as a tool for research within a research context is a way for the artist to think about things differently. That is something that I'm passionate about, and I hope to bring others into the fold.“Ten years have been incredible. These anniversary years are always great moments for reflection, but it's also about the future. We've set a great groundwork for this institution in the past 10 years, but the next 10 years are going to be even more exciting. We have new projects and new ideas coming forward. Our strategic planning will open new ideas and room for growth and expansion. And most importantly, we want to make sure that everyone understands that we exist for them. We are free. We are now open Wednesday through Sunday. Whether you're interested in contemporary art or ancient art and antiquities or looking for family day programs or other kinds of educational opportunities, the museum has so much to offer. We hope that you come for one thing and you experience so much more.”MSU Today airs Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 5 a.m. on WKAR News/Talk and Sundays at 8 p.m. on 760 WJR.

Architect Chris Kempel and I discuss adaptive reuse of old buildings and how his studies in Berlin, Germany, informed his desire to mix the old with the new. We touch on daylighting in older buildings, using the natural environment to inform design, and whether or not technology can replace humans when it comes to intuitive architecture (It can't!) One of the biggest ways we can affect climate change is to use existing buildings rather than tearing them down, and Chris and his firm work tirelessly to bring clever design ideas to developers to maximize beauty and efficiency. Episode Sponsor - www.sustainablehomesofthefuture.comContact Host - info@shfbuild.com About Chris: Chris Kempel (AIA, NCARB) channeled his lifelong fascination with the arts into the pursuit of architecture, landing him in his current role as Design Partner for RKA. A graduate of The UCLA Master of Architecture program, Chris also studied at the Kunsthochechule Weissense in Berlin, an international program that values an interdisciplinary approach, viewing society and art as having a symbiotic relationship. Since childhood, Chris has admired the juxtaposition between natural and manmade environments, and in the confluence of his drawing, building, and visionary skills. He emphasizes excellence in craft, understanding that to fully tailor a family’s home or a new office building, it’s the finest of details that heightens the experience. His greatest passion lies within designing residential spaces. The notion that a well-designed home can positively affect someone’s well-being is what drives him to think of every last detail—he once spent several days living on a family’s land to better understand the way sunlight changed throughout the course of a day, all to better inform the design of its future dwelling.

At the MSU Broad, her first initiative was a community-powered installation entitled Acts of Care, where local individuals submit nominations for honoring those who have taken care of our communities during this pandemic. “The museum is a tremendous asset to be linked and nested in such a prominent and respected university as Michigan State University,” Ramirez Montagut tells Spartans Athletic Director Bill Beekman. “What our university museum has that few other independent museums have is that we can actually go and chat with experts in any single field out there and have them contribute with their expertise to the art exhibitions. We can leverage that faculty expertise in many occasions to help us give context to some of the art that we have on view.“Art museums are a lot of fun, which is why I work in one. They help us connect with each other. Art inspires us. Art gives us a lot of energy. It also stimulates our senses and our intellect. A lot of faculty members also enjoy this collaboration with the museum. And seeing their work framed inside an art venue instead of a classroom must be fun for them as well. It's really the perfect universal stage where we can bring a lot of partners, not only on the campus, but off campus, to help us tell the stories of each other and ourselves, ultimately. We learn a lot about ourselves through a museum and we learn a lot about the communities that we live in.“Sometimes with contemporary art it may seem that we really don't understand what we're looking at unless we are art historians or art experts. So I certainly understand that. And that certainly happens to me sometimes when I walk into gallery spaces that have no signage, no labels, and no explanations. A lot is expected of the visitor in that case. It's like going to a theater piece or a concert where the audience is expected to clap and to participate. A little bit of that happens in contemporary art museums.“Ultimately I do think that U.S. museums of contemporary art need to do a better job at explaining the art on view because I do think it's not easy. And it is not easy because contemporary artists are always trying to create something that has never existed before. So how do you do that? How do you invent something that nobody has ever seen or even imagined? And you create a visual culture object out of that. And of course, if there's no precedent for that kind of visual, it's hard for us to then recognize something that is just not familiar to us at all.“It defeats the purpose if someone walks into our museum and they leave feeling like they didn't understand. So it's the job of the museum to start providing those points of access and explaining, ‘Well, this is an experimentation with a new material,' or, ‘This is an image that came from abstracting a molecule.' It's exciting, but we need to do a really good job at the museum of explaining why what you're looking at is important. What are you looking at? And if not, what are the intentions behind the artist? And then just share that with you so that you have a good standing ground to start. Then you can explore your own creativity and your own association of ideas.”Ramirez Montagut believes the building itself is a work of art.“The complexity of the building and the added layer of creativity of the build environment where art is being displayed really adds to the experience, not only for the visitor, but the whole environment. Many museums are designed as white boxes. White cubes, we call them. What is nice about the MSU Broad building and the Zaha design is that you're constantly being attracted to the next space and the next space. And once you are done with the museum, then the frame of the landscape around you, the visual frames are also very appealing. So then you want to go outside and enjoy the sculpture garden. That's something that you need to understand when you work with the building.“We have so many beautiful windows that frame the terrific outdoors of our campus that I would say that the building actually is enticing people to go outside while they're looking at terrific arts. It's a spectacle of attention between the indoors and the outdoors. And it's just really terrific as an experience to go see art and feel like you're indoors and outdoors at the same time. It's quite unique. And I do believe that that's precisely why it is a masterpiece.”Ramirez Montagut explains her passion for creating socially engaged exhibits. And she says she's already planning for the museum's tenth anniversary coming up in two years.“MSU is just absolutely the perfect setting to do that because we have a strength in engaged scholarship. We have a strength in working with our communities, learning from our communities and their lived experience and their expertise and then helping all of us access that knowledge to then discuss in an academic scholarly setting.“We hope people take the opportunity to visit the museum. It's really a very refreshing experience given our working-from-home situation. It's highly recommended. I went to the museum today and I just had a blast. So I can certainly recommend the experience for folks who want to be able to have an informal learning experience and an inspiring one, but within a very safe environment. So hopefully we'll see many of you at the museum soon.”MSU Today airs every Sunday morning at 9:00 on 105.1 FM, AM 870, and however you stream at home.

Conversations on Contemporary Art Exhibitions with ArtAboveReality
Recorded April 29, 2019 "Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power shines a bright light on the vital contribution Black artists made over two revolutionary decades in American history, beginning in 1963 at the height of the civil rights movement. The exhibition examines the influences, from the civil rights and Black Power movements to Minimalism and developments in abstraction, on artists such as Romare Bearden, Barkley Hendricks, Noah Purifoy, Martin Puryear, Faith Ringgold, Betye Saar, Alma Thomas, Charles White, and William T. Williams. Los Angeles-based artists appear throughout Soul of a Nation, and more deeply in three specific galleries, foregrounding the significant role of Los Angeles in the art and history of the civil rights movement and the subsequent activist era, and the critical influence and sustained originality of the city's artists, many of whom have lacked wider recognition. Featuring the work of more than 60 influential artists and including vibrant paintings, powerful sculptures, street photography, murals, and more, this landmark exhibition is a rare opportunity to see era-defining artworks that changed the face of art in America." - The Broad “So what's is the next step after Soul of a Nation? Is this the beginning of the retrospective for black art movements? Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power 1963-1983 was a great insight into the artistic movements that existed during the Black Power era and serves as a visual history. Are era-based retrospectives the best way to understand the African-American contribution to the global art world? As I write this essay I think of what I've learned just by observation. The research of artworks allowed me to understand the artists' backgrounds, their materials, and how their use of them helped to change and develop the practice of artmaking. An excerpt from my research and review essay on Soul of A Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, 1963-1983 at The Broad Museum.

Ora King is a sustainably raised salmon from New Zealand, whose story is almost as delicious as the fish itself. Back in early 1900, two avid fishermen somehow managed to bring live King salmon home to New Zealand from a fishing trip to California. The salmon thrived there and the rest is Ora King history. Ora King is only available to the restaurant trade, where it s developed a cult following with top chefs like Thomas Keller and Emeril Lagasse, because of it s pristine quality and flavor. Host, Poppy Tooker served as the judge for this year s Ora King competition travelling to Austin, Texas; Brooklyn, New York and Los Angeles, California to taste the Ora King creations of the three top finalists, Mia Li of Lenoir, Yael Peet of Karasu and Jonathan Granada of Otium. On this podcast, we travel to Los Angeles, California to meet finalist number three Jonathan Granada. After beginning his career at the French Laundry, where he worked his way up from commis to line cook, Jonathan was selected by Chef Timothy Hollingsworth as chef de cuisine at Otium. Just adjacent to the Broad Museum in downtown Los Angeles, Otium s airy, light filled space offers fine dining with a casual LA vibe. Inspired by the lives of Anthony Bourdain and Paul Bocuse, Jonathan created five individual salmon dishes as a food collage to pair with a photomontage of the famous chefs he had created specially for the contest.

There's a metamorphosis procedure to being an outlier. The various traits, tics or dispositions that set you apart from them, are one day celebrated and cherished. Take Brandon Stosuy for example, he was raised in a southern New Jersey town prior to being led by music to leave a population of 800. After leaving his working class family there were eventual stints in Canada, Portland and Buffalo before honing in on Brooklyn. Along the way there was a collegiate education, nowhere jobs and drifting accompanied by desire and endurance. Brandon's perseverance eventually resulted in writing/editing at Pitchfork and Stereogum, publishing a few books including one for kids (Music Is..., 2016) and presently curating music events at MOMA PS1 and the Broad Museum. He's currently the Editor in Chief of Kickstarter's The Creative Independent, a site consisting primarily of daily interviews with creatives from various disciplines discussing both the personal and their process.

Also, she reveals how impactful the new Broad Museum has been on the LA art scene. Lastly, Jori compares the Los Angeles art market with New York City’s.

Far away from the snowscapes peppering the rest of the country, the salt flats and dry martinis of Palm Springs exists in a time and place apart. An original enclave of midcentury modernism, Palm Springs has been able to preserve that heritage thanks in large part to Palm Springs Modernism Week, a series of events, lectures and tours whose proceeds go straight back into architectural preservation and advocacy. On this episode, we discuss Palm Springs' modernism in the midst of the city's generational transition, and feature a conversation Paul and Amelia had with PSMOD board member, Mark Davis. We also check in on another (contested) southern Californian icon – the Broad Museum, which opened for a one-day public sneak peek last Sunday. As always, you can send us your architectural legal issues, comments or questions via twitter #archinectsessions, email or call us at (213) 784-7421.
