When it comes to his iconic street portraits, Jamel Shabazz is all about building relationships and spreading joy. Yet, beyond the rich tapestry created with both the neighbors and strangers, friends and rivals he's encountered across New York's five boroughs, Jamel's most meaningful role might be that of a street teacher, touching the lives of the people in front of his lens and inviting them to mark their place in history. In today's podcast, we learn from the master while tracing his career path, from early observational learning at the side of his father—a professional photographer in his own right—to his first street portraits of classmates and friends. Jamel also shares how his singular vision was shaped by outside forces, including three years overseas in the Army and 20 years as a New York City corrections officer. Incredibly, Jamel was able to take his camera along inside, and he describes the fine line he walked in our chat. “So, it was illegal,” he admits, “but I was known to have done it throughout my entire career. As time went on, I became known as that photographer within the department that photographed everybody. You know, the brass, the officers. And I gave everybody the photographs. So, yes, I killed them with kindness.” Guest: Jamel Shabazz Guest Bio: Jamel Shabazz is a documentary, fashion, and street photographer from Brooklyn, who has spent more than four decades capturing the cultural shifts and struggles of New York City through iconic photographs. His pictures have been exhibited worldwide, are permanently housed in prestigious institutions, and currently featured in nine monographs, along with more than three dozen other photo books. A recipient of the 2018 Gordon Parks Award and the Gordon Parks Foundation/Steidl book prize in 2022, Jamel is also dedicated to education, having instructed young students through programs at the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Schomburg Center, and the Bronx Museum. As a member of the Kamoinge photo collective and a board member of En Foco, Jamel's artistic mission remains centered on preserving urban history and culture through powerful, intimate portraits.

The Art Bystander No27: Marcus Jansen. In this episode our host Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar, sit down with internationally acclaimed artist Marcus Jansen whose work has been exhibited at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, the Smithsonian Institution, and Documenta among others. From his early years between the Bronx and Germany to serving in the U.S. Army and later becoming one of the most important painters of his generation, Jansen's journey is as compelling as his art.His new exhibition Faceless at CFHILL, Stockholm, in collaboration with Almine Rech and the Marcus Jansen Foundation, dissects power structures, anonymity, and the systems that shape our lives. Jansen's raw, gestural abstraction meets a deeply political and emotional narrative, making his work a powerful lens through which to view contemporary society.We talk about: His transition from soldier to artist; the unseen forces of control in today's world; how his art challenges historical narratives; the intersection of street art in his practice and the socialist structure of the military.Jansen's work has been described as a 21st-century response to Jackson Pollock and Robert Rauschenberg, but his voice is distinctly his own—urgent, fearless, and unfiltered.

Ep.222 José Parlá (b.1973) creates paintings and multidisciplinary works based on his interest in hybrid forms of abstraction. He draws inspiration from various mediums including music, calligraphy, dance, and the decay of urban architecture and advertisements. His works poetically challenge ideas about language, politics, identity, and how we define places and spaces. Parlá's relationship with mark-making is physical and textural, incorporating the body's gestures into a painterly stream of consciousness composed of areas of addition, erasure, and layering that challenge the status quo of visual culture. Parlá was born to Cuban parents in Miami, Florida, and lives and works out of Brooklyn, New York. He studied painting at Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia; the New World School of the Arts, Miami, Florida; and Miami Dade College, Miami, Florida.

Public arts projects include permanent large-scale commissions including Far Rockaway Writer's Library, a collaboration between Snøhetta and Parlá, New York (2023); University of Texas, Austin (2018); ONE World Trade Center, New York (2015); A collaboration with Snøhetta, Hunt Library at North Carolina State University, Raleigh (2013); Barclays Center, New York (2012); Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), New York (2012); Concord City Place, Toronto (2010).

It is time once again for our Round Up episode for the month of September, where we talk about some of the most interesting and timely art news stories of the last month with our writers here at Artnet. This month, Art Angle co-hosts Ben Davis and Kate Brown are joined by senior writer Sarah Cascone, and the three stories they discuss all center around museums. The first is the announcement that longtime director of New York's Museum of Modern Art Glenn Lowry will retire after 30 years, which marks the end of an era, and perhaps the beginning of something new. Artnet's Katya Kazakina wrote an article speculating on who might replace Lowry, and the panel discusses what this means for the future of one of the world's most famous museums. There's been a lot of leadership around New York museums, with the news of Alex Rüger taking over the role of director at the Frick Collection from Ian Wardropper, who is stepping down in 2025; plus the departure of Klaudio Rodriguez from the Bronx Museum, which has seen three directors in just seven years. Next up, the trio takes a deep dive into an article penned by Ben Davis that shares the result of an analysis he did looking at the shows on view at over 200 museums across the United States to see which artists are cropping up most frequently. The results were surprising, and give us all a window into the cultural zeitgeist. Finally, we talk about the news of a rediscovered painting by beloved Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi that is going on view in Texas, based on a story written by Sarah Cascone.

Rudy has a show up and we are releasing this episode for 2016 on the occasion. KATES-FERRI PROJECTS is delighted to present Rudy Shepherd's first solo exhibition with the gallery, THE GOLDEN AGE, from April 3 to May 5, 2024, with a reception on Friday, April 5, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at their 561 Grand Street space. This collection of acrylic on canvas paintings evolves from Shepherd's ongoing portrait series and delves into the visual culture of the golden age of hip-hop in the 1980s and 1990s, a period of tremendous innovation and stylistic experimentation in the genre. The artist renders intricate portraits of legendary musicians from iconic publicity photos and album covers, crafting massive 3' by 4' and 4' by 4' works that display the bravado and opulence of hip-hop while also interrogating it, prompting the viewer to reflect on the many meanings embedded in hip-hop imagery and music.

We are bringing back Jasmine Wahi's episode from Season 2 Episode 6 of The Art Career Podcast! In this episode, Emily McElwreath interviews Jasmine Wahi. Wahi's multi-faceted curatorial and social practices predominantly focus on issues of femme empowerment, complicating binary structures within social discourses, and exploring multi-positional cultural identities through the lens of intersectional feminism. During the interview the two cover topics such as community, passion and equitability, and agree that politeness is, indeed, overrated. Jasmine Wahi is the Founder and Co-Director of Project for Empty Space, a nonprofit organization rooted in Newark, NJ, and soon to be in New York City. Her multi-faceted curatorial practice predominantly focuses on issues of femme empowerment, complicating binary structures within social discourses, and exploring multi-positional cultural identities through the lens of intersectional feminism. While co-directing PES, Ms. Wahi became the inaugural Holly Block Social Justice Curator at the Bronx Museum of the Arts in 2020. While at the museum she curated several renowned exhibitions, including Born In Flames: Feminist Futures and Wardell Milan: AMERIKA. God Bless You If It's Good To You, which were oriented around the thesis that visibility is the primary tenet of Social Justice. In addition to her work at more formal institutions, Ms. Wahi also curates exhibitions and lectures internationally on dismantling White Supremacist, Capitalist, Patriarchal structures in the cultural realm and beyond. Recent notable engagements include her 2019 TEDx talk on intersectionality and visibility, entitled All The Women In Me Are Tired; and a group exhibition entitled American Truth at the SVA Chelsea Galleries.

The work and life of artist Darrel Ellis was unfinished. Ellis died of AIDS related complications in 1992 at the age of 33. He grew up in the South Bronx, and spent his childhood without knowing his father. Ellis later became a key figure in the 80s downtown art scene, and was heavily inspired by his discovery of a series of his father's photographs. However, for many years after his death, his work went unstudied. A new exhibition at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, in partnership with The Baltimore Museum of Art, is one of the first major examinations of Ellis' life and work. Curators Leslie Cozzi and Sergio Bessa join us to commemorate Darrel Ellis. Darrel Ellis: Regeneration is on view until September 10.

Treizman earned an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, and is currently a studio resident at Laundromat Art Space in Miami, Florida. Having lived in many densely populated cities over the years—Santiago, London, San Francisco, New York City, Haifa, and now Miami—her practice has stemmed from and benefited from throwaway culture. Sound & Vision is sponsored by Golden Artist Colors, Fulcrum Coffe Roasters and the New York Studio School. The School welcomes artists from around the world to join the 5-Day Virtual Intersession Drawing Marathon entitled “Drawing on Your Past / The Mind's Eye” with Graham Nickson & Guests, held from Thursday, March 23rd – Monday, March 27th, 2023. Rigorous and immersive, the Studio School's legendary Marathons present an extensive range of artmaking strategies, comprehensive critiques, and inspirational discussions. Expansive first-hand discoveries in Marathons propel artists to relate to drawing, painting, and sculpture as direct methodologies for understanding their experience in the world; the profound impact of which continues far beyond each Marathon's conclusion.

*[REBROADCAST FROM April 27, 2022] The Brooklyn born and raised photographer Jamel Shabazz has been capturing the diverse characters of New York City streets for over 40 years, particularly joyous scenes of black and brown people in neighborhoods like Flatbush, Brownsville, and Harlem. Now, some of his work is on display at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, in an exhibit called, Jamel Shabazz: Eyes on the Street, which includes over 150 of Shabazz's photographs. Jamel Shabazz joins to discuss his career, his mission with his camera, and the exhibit, which is on view until September 4. This segment was selected by our producer Luke Green.
If you've seen much street photography from New York City from the 1980s, a more innocent time before the crack and AIDS epidemics, at the dawn of hip-hop, chances are you've seen the work of Jamel Shabazz. The Brooklyn-born shutterfly is the recipient of the 2022 Gordon Parks Foundation/Steidl Book Prize and is currently the subject of a career survey, “Jamel Shabazz: Eyes on the Street,” at the Bronx Museum. You can also catch an exhibit he curated of six younger artists at the Lefferts Historic House in Prospect Park now called The Brooklyn Connection. His classic 2005 collection "A Time Before Crack" is being reimagined and re-released later this month by PowerHouse books.

I paint landscapes as a way to deepen and extend my roots, ruminate on the places I've seen, and express my impressions of the landslides of the present day. A person is a mold of the landform of their birth but also a creator of their own terrain. I wish to fuse my personal impressions of the Brazilian, “Indigenous” and lush lands, where I was born, and the war-torn coasts in the Middle East, where I was raised, with collective narratives of roaming on this shared terrain, at this landmark. Not above, but below, the landscape is our body, a mother, a womb, origin, and destination. I paint the ground to hold and capture the world in a frame, to mold the pigments as a living, breathing clay, that shapes my native land. My painting process entails multiple actions of layering, pouring, dripping, spilling, erasure and mark-making. Surfaces and images get erased as they emerge, painted over as they solidify, and then altered again, leaving behind the rich soil of the under-paint. My impulse to destroy is as fierce as my motive to create.I paint on the wall, floor, and table, mimicking the wanderer's frequent relocations, traveling on the canvas, North, South, East, and West, where the flow of image and gestures I've picked up along the way, spring up. Applying layers of translucent paint from brightly colored grounds to nuanced earth tones I merge modernism with the traditional application of oil paint.Stained rags and torn clothes, ‘lowly,' and 'discarded,' aids in my humble labor, worn on my and my children's skin, get adhered to the surface, as ‘body,' as abandon, as an alchemical process, as recycled form and matter, as evidence of process, a woman's labor, unseen. My paintings and drawings, realistic, abstract, and magical, depict inner and outer terrains that allude to the body, to the earth, to paths and physical quests. Flora, fauna, and the elements of fire, water, earth, and sky are all manifestations of inner vistas as much as outer typographies, rooted in meditations of life, cycles of time, and change. The lands which I paint are often hybridized, conjuring multiple sources, climates and terrains, a synthesis, a migrant's mind. I weigh on the personal and collective narratives of wanderings on our life-giving earth, the grounds which are rapidly cracking under the heavy stomping of our feet. With striking paint marks, suggestive and realistic imagery, I depict sunken houses, mountains speckled with tents, piles of stones, cut trees, and rings of smoke. I often meddle with perspective, merging the ‘horizon line' into a swirling tapestry of shifting forms, like our crumbling terrains. Alongside these prophecies, are utopian vistas of another materiality, with fervent beauty, untouched and unburdened by our hardened reality. With paint and a brush, through colors, movement, and depth of emotion, I enter a doorway, away from relativity, where I'm in the perfection behind this duality. It's my passion, inspiration and striving to share this vista that sparks so brightly, an invitation to another actuality.” LINKS: https://www.facebook.com/deborah.wasserman1/ www.instagram.com/deborahwassermanart www.deborahwasserman.com 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
