In this episode, we delve into the pioneering work of conceptual artist Sol LeWitt, exploring his theories concerning ownership and art reproduction. LeWitt's process put into question many more orthodox ways of thinking about art-making, emphasizing the idea behind the work rather than the product itself. We talk about the powers of LeWitt's thesis, Paragraphs on Conceptual Art, in bringing about a collaborative notion of making, viewing, and understanding art that is still resonant in today's art scene. Join us for a stimulating analysis of the convergence of art, ideas, and the changing notion of authorship.
In this episode 973, "The Canon of Conceptual Art" we explore the life and works of an influential figure in the world of contemporary art. Dive into the conceptual genius of Sol LeWitt, as we uncover the stories behind his iconic wall drawings and analyze his philosophy on art and instructions. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a student of art history, or simply curious about the mind of a creative genius, this episode offers a deep and engaging exploration of Sol LeWitt's enduring legacy. Tune in and discover the art that reshaped the world.

We take a deeper look at the recent sale of a banana duct-taped to a wall for $6 million at Sotheby's. Beyond the shocking price tag, this artwork raises questions about the nature of value, the purpose of art, and the role of absurdity in challenging cultural norms. We analyze the symbolism of the piece, its commentary on consumerism, and how it fits into the larger trends of high-end collectibles and conceptual art. From the practical challenges of preserving perishable art to its parallels with speculative markets like cryptocurrency, we unpack the layers of meaning and critique surrounding this provocative statement.

The son of United Nations diplomats, Artist Javier Proenza grew up in the global foreign service networks of Washington DC, San Jose, Costa Rica and Rome, Italy. While Rome nurtured his interest in art, history and global politics, his high school and college years in Miami are when he reached his final form of Florida Man. His conceptual art practice is centered on the universal absurdities of contemporary experience, and is realized in various traditions including painting, sculpture, video, and installation. In 2018 Javier gave up on grad school, designed a scam to have artists teach him for free, and pretended it was a podcast called What's my Thesis?https://www.instagram.com/whatismythesis
In today's episode of the podcast, I chat with Dan Milnor, an acclaimed documentary photographer who shares transformative insights on creativity, industry challenges, and the true impact of social media on your work.The Big Ideas:Seek Inspiration, Not Imitation: Embrace the storytelling and influence behind another artist's work rather than copying style or gear.The Value of Authentic Engagement: Understand social media's shallow interactions and focus on building a genuine audience.Embracing a Multifaceted Identity: Delve into various creative outlets to enrich your photography and personal brand.Isolation for Innovation: Discover how stepping away from the crowd can enhance your unique voice and creativity.Photography Action Plan:Explore Outside Influences: Visit the websites of conceptual artists or photographers you admire at least a few times per year. Jot down what elements of their work inspire you the most. Incorporate what resonates with you into your photography, be it their storytelling approach or their thematic focus, to craft a richer narrative in your images.Prioritize Care with Equipment: Familiarize yourself with the functionalities of your current equipment, such as the exposure compensation dial, to enhance your shooting efficiency without the need to upgrade immediately. Engage in Long-Term Projects: Select a subject matter that sparks your curiosity and devote time to a long-term photographic project. This commitment often leads to deeper insights and more substantive work. Resist the industrial pressure to multitask on numerous short-term endeavors and instead focus on developing a solid body of work that reflects your dedication and skill. Rethink Social Media Engagement: Create a portfolio website showcasing your unique photographic work to establish a professional online presence that's independent of social media validation. Begin reducing your reliance on social media platforms by actively seeking genuine engagement with your audience through direct channels like newsletters or local exhibitions.Embrace a Multifaceted Approach to Photography: Invest time in developing additional skills that complement your photography, such as writing or video, which can enhance your storytelling capabilities and marketability. Explore your other interests and hobbies alongside photography. These pursuits can provide fresh perspectives and inspirations, enriching the creative content of your photographic work.Resources:Visit Dan's Website Shifter Media: https://shifter.mediaDan Milnor's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DANIELMILNOR505Learn What Camera Settings to Use in our free guide!https://perfectcamerasettings.com/ Build Your Dream Photography Business and Keep More of the Money You Earn with CloudSpot Studio.And get my Wedding and Portrait Contract and Questionnaires, at no cost!Sign up now at http://deliverphotos.com/Connect with the Beginner Photography Podcast!

Compound Yellow's featured artist Gary Cannone dominates every part of the compound with his LA from Chicago brand of conceptual art. Fun name drops include Bernini and Maritizo Catalan. Tune in for the rest. bio: Gary Cannone (Guerino Giovanni Cannone) was born in 1964 to Italian immigrants working factory jobs in Chicago. He learned english from American 70s television and was obsessed with Norm Crosby, Carol Burnett, the Three Stooges, Mad Magazine, Wacky Packages, and the Marx Brothers. His grandfather (and namesake) was crushed to death by a pool table the day before Cannone's eighth birthday in a warehouse accident. He played in the early 80s leftist punk rock band The Leeches but, as his interest in performing music waned, he saw Vito Aconcci lecture and decided to become an artist. Cannone exhibited conceptual and often dadaistic art while headquartered from Chicago, Rome, and Los Angeles until he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2013. As the disease took a toll on his body, he took a hiatus but began to work again digitally using social media to distribute art and jokes. Interest in his communal project of parody album covers “Albums by Conceptual Artists” led to invitations to exhibit again. He began exploring the effects of his disease on his body and brain which led him back to the comedic tropes he loved so much as a youngster; adressing his disability through the lens of slapstick rather than advocacy. Cannone's recent work can be described as a decidedly reductive art executed with the deft skill of a prop comic. The resulting ensemble explores fragility, instability, urges, communication, humiliation, tension, torture, gravity, parody, dexterity, and death. https://compoundyellow.com/ https://garycannone.studio/

We are now a few weeks passed the 2023 Mr. Olympia contest. Bodybuilding seems to have reached its pinnacle, with Phil Heath being the champion who set the standard for what a bodybuilder should look like in the 2010s. Since then, conditioning has gone down hill, no one is getting in shape, and the one guy who does get in shape (Nick Walker) was injured right before the show, tragically. To discuss all of this, Adam brings on music producer and bodybuilding enthusiast Laje Amare and competitive bodybuilder William Landry.

God is always pushing ideas from His mind into our souls to help us develop a framework for living our lives here on earth. Believing is an art and believers can develop skill and competence in believing. Conceptual arts are more ideas-driven than they are object-driven and this seems to be what believing looks like. Think about the idea of living in unlimited possibilities and consider that this idea of unlimited possibilities is a concept. It is not just a concept, it is God's concept. Believers can become so skilled in living in possibilities that it becomes an art. Have you ever seen a very well-drawn artwork? You know that the art had to have been done by a skilled artist. So is believing. The results of our "believing" can reveal a lot about how skillful we are. Join us as we bring you our ALL-NEW episode- CONCEPTUAL ART.
In which Theo & Brian discuss and debate the meaning, role, and significance of conceptual art for the millionth time.

How can injecting ideas into art create meaningful direction? Nadya Tolokonnikova is perhaps known best for being a musician and founding member of the group Pussy Riot - but would describe themself primarily as a conceptual artist and political activist. Nadya was jailed in their home country of Russia in 2012, following a performance in Moscow Cathedral. Amnesty International named them a ‘Prisoner of Conscience'. For Nadya, concepts and ideas come first. Joy and mental health should all form part of activism, and we have the power to create our own future.

Ep.161 features Charles Gaines. A pivotal figure in the field of Conceptual Art, Charles Gaines' body of work engages formulas and systems that interrogate relationships between the objective and the subjective realms. Using a generative approach to create series of works in a variety of mediums, he has built a bridge between the early conceptual artists of the 1960s and 1970s and subsequent generations of artists pushing the limits of conceptualism today. Born in 1944 in Charleston, South Carolina, Gaines began his career as a painter, earning his MFA from the School of Art and Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1967. In the 1970s, Gaines' art shifted dramatically in response to what he would later call ‘the awakening.' Gaines' epiphany materialized in a series called Regression (1973 – 1974), in which he explored the use of mathematical and numeric systems to create soft, numbered marks in ink on a grid, with each drawing built upon the calculations of the last. This methodical approach would carry the artist into the subsequent decades of his artistic journey. Working both within the system and against it, Gaines points to the tensions between the empirical objective and the viewers' subjective response. The concept of identity politics has played a central role within Gaines' oeuvre, and the radical approach he employs addresses issues of race in ways that transcend the limits of representation. His recent work continues to use this system with sociopolitical motivations at the forefront. ‘Faces 1: Identity Politics' (2018) is a triptych of colorful portraits of historical icons and thinkers, from Aristotle to Maria W. Stewart and bell hooks. Gaines reduces the images to pixelated outlines, layered among the faces of the preceding portraits to create a palimpsest of faces, employing this system in a critique of representation and the attachment of meaning to images. Gaines lives and works in Los Angeles. He recently retired from the CalArts School of Art, where he was on faculty for over 30 years and established a fellowship to provide critical scholarship support for Black students in the M.F.A. program. A survey exhibition of his work will be on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami in the fall of 2023. His work has also been the subject of numerous other exhibitions in the United States and around the world, most notably at Dia:Beacon, San Francisco Museum of Art, The Studio Museum, Harlem NY, and Hammer Museum, Los Angeles CA. His work has also been presented at the 1975 Whitney Biennial and the Venice Biennale in 2007 and 2015. In 2022, Gaines produced a new public art project with Creative Time, entitled ‘Moving Chains,' on Governors Island, New York, along with a music performance and a sculptural installation in Times Square. In addition to his artistic practice, Gaines has published several essays on contemporary art, including ‘Theater of Refusal: Black Art and Mainstream Criticism' (University of California, Irvine, 1993) and ‘The New Cosmopolitanism' (California State University, Fullerton, 2008). In 2019, Gaines received the 60th Edward MacDowell Medal. He was inducted into the National Academy of Design's 2020 class of National Academicians and the American Academy of Arts and Letters in May 2022.

In this episode the Creativity Department discusses the concept of expanding permissions around art making, developing ideas, and process with Jorge Lucero. Jorge is an artist, art educator, and author of What Happens at the Intersection of Conceptual Art & Teaching.

Jack Skelley is a writer and a poet that has been publishing books since the 1980s. His career began in the early '80s in LA when he worked at the Venice-based literary and arts center Beyond Baroque. Beyond Baroque was put on the map by Dennis Cooper who created a scene around it that included late poet and performance artist Bob Flanagan, the late conceptual artist Mike Kelley, the hilarious late poet Ed Smith, Guggenheim Fellowship winning poet Amy Gerstler, painter and novelist Benjamin Weissman, and Jack himself. The crux of this conversation revolves around the publication of Jack's new book, The Complete Fear of Kathy Acker, which was released by Semiotext(e)in May. Jack started writing the book in the 1980s, and as such follows a protaganist named Jack as he traverses the Los Angeles art world of the eighties that Jack himself was indeed a part of. The figure of the late writer Kathy Acker who provides the book's namesake only actually appears briefly in the novel but her method of postmodern literary collage is assumed as a means for Jack to deconstruct the signifiers of the Los Angeles dream factory and the formation of mass culture as the protagonist flits from book readings to punk rock shows to art openings to misbegotten sexcapades. It's a weird and thrilling novel. Jack and Adam here discuss this new book, Los Angeles, Kathy Acker, locating an avant-gardist sentiment in pop culture, the problematization of male heterosexual desire in literature, fictionalizing historical figures, Mike Kelley, SST records, punk rock, and much more.

Jeff shares his interview with Dr. Jorge Lucero focused on his book and work about “Conceptual Art's Permissions” which can be employed in arts education. Karla and Jeff break down the ideas and think about how they can use these permissions to move towards systems of abundance. In this episode you'll learn: About Conceptual Art's Permissions in arts education; How our stories can inform the ways we navigate systems in culture and education; and Ways in which we can apply disruptive tactics to reimagine systems and our work. Some things from the episode: “TEACHER AS ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE: THE MOST RADICAL FORM OF EXPRESSION TO EVER EXIST” Projects “Creative Generation: Ethnographic And Heuristic Approach To Inquiry” Art Education Hub Jorge Lucero is a Mexican-American artist who currently serves as Associate Professor of Art Education in the School of Art + Design at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

In this episode the Creativity Department is joined by art educators and creative collaborators Samuel Peck & David Modler for a discussion about the importance of “process over product”. Hear how they encourage their pre-service teachers to focus on the creative processes of art making rather than producing a “good” artwork. Learn how “process over product” helps student development and correlates to the Studio Habits of Mind during a conversation covering strategies for classroom application, activities you can do with students, and artists that inspire.
This episode of Exquisite Corpse brings together National Academicians and painters Elena Sisto and Carroll Dunham in a deep discussion about painting, abstraction, and the trajectories of their work.Both painters are interested in the abstracted figure and their exchange explores the influences of childhood, freedom and risk in the studio, and mimesis versus non-objective painting. They share an investment in the expansive nature of abstraction through invention and revel in their commonalities as artists and most importantly as painters.
In this episode of Exquisite Corpse, architects Wendy Evans Joseph and Billie Tsien discuss the art-centered roots of their friendship and the experiential nature of architecture. They discuss what it means to alter or create an experience and how they practice patience with projects in the public realm. They touch on their various projects that alter how the public engages with an environment, such as Wendy's back-of-house glass box for the Music Hall at Snug Harbor Cultural Center or Billie's project for David Geffen Hall, at the Lincoln Center where her firm restructured the lobby to be more inviting and multifunctional. Both invested in community engagement, they share a mutual admiration for producing projects that deepen public connection.
The second episode of Season 4 joins National Academicians Charles Gaines and Rashid Johnson in conversation about the multiplicities of blackness, the properties of representation, and exploring materiality in art making. They discuss mutual friends, common references, and a substantial reading list. Rashid shares key reference points from his childhood that inform his materials and structures. Charles delves into the nature of the grid, elements of language, and the dynamics of representation. Together they share a mutual appreciation for each other, and the intellectual investigations that underpin their practices.

The guest for this episode is Pablo Delano, a visual artist, photographer, and educator recognized for his use of Connecticut and Puerto Rican history in his work, including his 2020 book of photography Hartford Seen published by Wesleyan University Press, a Connecticut Book Award 2021 “Spirit of Connecticut” finalist. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, he is the Charles A. Dana Professor of Fine Arts at Trinity College in Hartford. His work has been shown in solo exhibitions in museums and galleries in the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Over the course of 20 years Delano amassed a substantial archive of artifacts related to a century of Puerto Rican history. Using this material, including three-dimensional objects, newspaper clippings, and photographs, he created The Museum of the Old Colony, a dynamic, site-specific art installation that examines the complex and fraught history of U.S. colonialism, paternalism, and exploitation in Puerto Rico. The title is a play on words, referencing both the island's political status and Old Colony, a popular local soft drink. The work is also deeply personal, a means for Delano to better understand and come to terms with the troubling history of Puerto Rico. Pablo was chosen by Connecticut Explored as a Connecticut History Game Changer Honoree in celebration of the magazine's 20th anniversary in 2022-23. Professor Delano has been featured on Grating the Nutmeg in episode 123 discussing his book of photographs Hartford Seen and in episode 152 Hartford and Puerto Rico: A Conversation between Delano and Puerto Rican historian Elena Rosario. He has an article in the Spring 2023 issue of Connecticut Explored - read here: www.ctexplored.org/game-changer-topsy-in-the-tropics/ While we might not be able to travel to see the exhibition in person, the University of Virginia Press has published a beautiful full-color catalog that includes a collection of very insightful essays edited by Laura Katzman as well as photos of the exhibition. It's available for purchase on Amazon-The Museum of the Old Colony, An Art Installation by Pablo Delano, 2023.

gm,With great pleasure, I get to share with you the conversation I got to have with Summer. She's a fine art photographer hailing from the midwest and tells stories through a surreal dreamscape lens. Summer has been in the web3 space a little north of a year, and recently, she sold out of her 54-piece collection on Foundation called The Parody of a Tangled Thread in less than a week; it's been quite something to watch. Our previous guest, Chikai, felt so compelled by this collection that he built a custom website that provides tools to view the collection as Summer intended.We go through her journey from corporate to web3, the uncomfortable but necessary lessons needed that made her into who she is today. We both talk about scams, what it means to be early, and how she just fell right into the web3 space. Summer goes deep into the story of her recently sold-out collection, The Parody of a Tangled Thread. I highly recommend browsing Chikai's website as we discuss this collection (I'll put the link below).Lastly, Summer tells us where she's going, and I think you're all going to get excited :)Boonafide Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/BoonaETHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/BoonafidexpWebsite: https://www.boonafide.comSummer Links:Twitter: https://twitter.com/bugindreamlandFoundation: https://foundation.app/collection/pott?sortOrder=DEFAULTSuper Rare: https://superrare.com/summergwagnerChikai's custom website: https://untangled.monolith.gallery/Support the show

On the edge of industrial design and art, there's an intriguing space where craftsmanship meets abstract thinking. Where a designer tinkers with materials and creates experiences that reflect on society. Brian Alexander (or Trace Bloom) has been working in this space for over 30 years. Creating devices that encourage a different kind of performance. Every instrument tells a different story. They are unique in material, form and technique. The process requires observation and exploration outside the conventional. This is a unique conversation that goes into the philosophy of creative expression. Where do we get inspiration from and how every little experience in our lives can inform our next design. This episode isn't only for synth design enthusiasts, but also anyone who's a maker, creator, musician or an artist. I hope you'll find a good dose of inspiration in it, and go make something remarkable.

Hello SOTA-ns! In this episode, Jasa indulges Sarah's (not so inner) academic, allowing her to wax poetic about Conceptual Art, and theorize why this type of Art is the most hated among her family members. No, this isn't a bad thing - sometimes art pisses us off. Jasa makes sure to bring it back to structural racism and colonialism, and we entertain how old 19th century white guys set up the definition of what art is supposed to be. As always, our music is provided by The Von Tramps. #jeffkoons #dalechihuly #art #arthistory #conceptualart --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sota/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sota/support
