In this episode I am joined by visual artist Emily Cheng, where we do a deep dive in what it means to make spiritual art. We talk about the shift in the art world to being more accepting of spiritual ideas at a time when it feels like our world needs it more than ever. We discuss her personal spiritual journey and how it impacted her relationship to her work. We also talk about the power of philosophy, specifically the Tao Te Ching. Emily has an amazing amount of insight and wisdom to share about the path of an artist and the greater perspectives we need to adopt in relation to our creative practices. ------------- Emily Cheng received a BFA in painting from Rhode Island School of Design and attended the New York Studio School for three years.

In this episode we speak with Sigurður Guðmundsson, Artist and co-founder of the international contemporary art museum ARS LONGA, initiated with Þór Vigfússon & Ineke Guðmundsson in 2021 and based in Djúpivogur. We talk about the upcoming summer show that is to open at ARS LONGA on the 8th of July, summer 2023. Sigurður tells us stories spanning his career, plays some symphonies that resonate with different periods in his life, including legendary SÚM group initiatives back in the 70's and unpacks some of his unique conceptual ideology, both in life and art-making. ARS LONGA strives to be a leading venue for international contemporary art in Iceland with progressive exhibitions and seeks to strengthen connections and collaboration with artists and professionals through dynamic activities. ARS LONGA's mission is to collect artworks by Icelandic and international artists, but Sigurður Guðmundsson's art donation of twenty-seven works is the basis for the collection. In the mid sixties, a group of young artists founded the SÚM group which broke with tradition and introduced a new approach to the Icelandic art world. Back then, the newly founded group of artists had varied and different practices in art, however, were unified in the making of public art and interventions. Sigurður Guðmundsson is one of the founding members of SÚM. Cover image courtesy of the artist, and i8 Gallery, Reykjavík.

Née en 1962 à Philadelphie, Lisa Yuskavage est diplômée d'un bachelor en beaux-arts de la Tyler School of Art (1984) et d'un master en beaux-arts de la Yale School of Art (1986). Elle est représentée depuis 2005 par la galerie David Zwirner. Ces trois dernières décennies, Lisa Yuskavage s'est imposée comme l'une des peintres figuratives les plus originales : ses œuvres exaltent la singularité de la peinture en tant que médium et remettent en question les genres et la place traditionnelle du spectateur. Les personnages variés qui peuplent ses tableaux participent d'une atmosphère à la fois introspective et exhibitionniste. Ils s'insèrent dans des compositions dont le sens repose en grande partie sur la couleur, et où se mêlent de nombreux éléments réalistes ou abstraits. En 2015, l'exposition personnelle Lisa Yuskavage: The Brood s'est tenue au Rose Art Museum de l'université Brandeis (Waltham, Massachusetts), retraçant vingt-cinq ans de carrière. Cette exposition d'envergure a ensuite été présentée au Contemporary Art Museum de Saint Louis (Missouri) en 2016. Elle a également donné lieu à la publication d'une importante monographie grand format aux éditions Skira Rizzoli, réalisée en étroite collaboration avec Lisa Yuskavage, comportant des essais d'auteurs, historiens de l'art et critiques de renom, dont Christopher Bedford, Suzanne Hudson, Catherine Lord et Siddhartha Mukherjee, ainsi qu'un entretien avec l'artiste mené par Katy Siegel. L'exposition Lisa Yuskavage: Wilderness a été présentée au Aspen Art Museum (Colorado) en 2020 et au Baltimore Museum of Art (Maryland) en 2021. Le travail de Lisa Yuskavage a fait l'objet d'expositions personnelles dans de nombreuses institutions à travers le monde, dont l'Institute of Contemporary Art de l'université de Pennsylvanie à Philadelphie (2000), le Centre d'art contemporain de Genève (2001), le Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo à Mexico (2006) et la Royal Hibernian Academy à Dublin (2011, dans le cadre du festival Dublin Contemporary). Les œuvres de l'artiste sont présentes dans plusieurs collections muséales, dont l'Art Institute de Chicago, le Hammer Museum à Los Angeles, le Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden à Washington, D.C., l'Institute of Contemporary Art de Boston, le Long Museum à Shanghai, le Metropolitan Museum of Art à New York, le Museum of Contemporary Art de Los Angeles, le Museum of Modern Art de New York, le Philadelphia Museum of Art, le Rubell Museum à Miami, le Museum of Modern Art de San Francisco, l'Art Museum de Seattle, le Walker Art Center de Minneapolis et le Whitney Museum of American Art à New York.

Debora talks with artist Jean Gray Mohs, who is a narrative, abstract artist, currently running an open studio at Artspace in North Carolina. Selected exhibits include the Contemporary Art Museum in Raleigh, the North Carolina Museum of Art, and the Greenhill Gallery.

The Executive Director of the formerly-named Arlington Arts Center Catie Anchin returned to the show to update our listeners on the very exciting changes happening at the gallery. From a rebranding to new initiatives for corporations to teaching patrons how to build a collection to yoga, the gallery is introducing scores of new ways to bring patrons through their doors. Also hear about the latest exhibitions, including a "Made in Arlington" pop-up, and its launch of a National Biennial show featuring artists nationwide.
Most artists remember their first show. Maybe they were lucky enough to sell a few works, usually to family and friends. Daniel Boyd remembers his. It was in the year he graduated from university, 2005, but family and friends didn't stand a chance. The entire exhibition was bought by the National Gallery of Australia. Daniel describes himself in those university days in Canberra as ‘a shy young First Nations man from Far North Queensland'. That reserved nature still comes through even though I was speaking with him at the exhibition 'Treasure Island' which celebrates his career with over 80 works in one of Australia's most important art institutions, the Art Gallery of NSW. Daniel's First Nations heritage is central to his work. His ancestors were part of the Stolen Generation. Forced to let go of their culture and language, they lived in fear that if they shared it with their children they would be taken away from them. In an interview in the Gallery's Look magazine Daniel said that that forced withholding of culture meant that he always felt there was something missing and it was at university that he tried to make sense of that. One of the striking aspects of Daniel's work is the way he both reveals and obscures his subject. Using a pointillist technique, he places a multitude of translucent dots over the image creating a series of convex lenses, as he refers to them, and while you can see the image through these lenses the rest of the image is painted out. Although this creates a visually alluring effect, there's more to this technique than just the physical use of the material. There are concepts behind it which relate to ways of seeing and perception and which are interestingly explored in the book accompanying the exhibition (see link below). The show has been curated by Isobel Parker Philip, Senior Curator of Contemporary Australian Art and Erin Vink, curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, both at the Art Gallery of NSW. Daniel has exhibited in over 30 solo shows, has won the Bulgari Award amongst others, and his work is held in many other public institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and the Natural History Museum in London.

Over the past decades she has produced net.art, online performances, video games, and sculptures that blend digital and handmade production. Harvey's work can be found in the collections of the Walker Art Center, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Contemporary Art Museum of Luxembourg, and Rhizome's Net Art Anthology. Her video games and VR projects have been exhibited in venues all over the world.You and I have such a long overlapping history going back to the mid nineties with the emergence of net art. I was extremely inspired by your work, which was so personal and tactile, specifically your online journals composed of these sumptuous collages, poetry, photography, drawing, painting, and 3D sculptural elements. Already, one can see how passionate you were about creating dialogues between analog and digital production, which I completely connect to. There was no hierarchy between these two. When I look at the extraordinary depth of work that you've created over the past two and a half decades, I can easily tease out a history of the internet and digital culture with all its promises of emancipation and boundless creativity, as well as its many discontents, which we'll get into shortly. But first I, I want to go back to the beginnings of your practice. You studied sculpture at Parson School of Design before learning web design, and then founded the game studio Tale of Tales. How did you make that leap from sculpture to net art?Auriea Harvey: I would say that I not only studied sculpture, but I also studied design to a certain extent. Although I was a bit of an autodidact for a long time, meaning that my main skill was computers in addition to sculpture. So the fact that I was so passionate about computers really led me directly into this confrontation. Well, okay love of computers and lack of space, being a young person in New York City in the early nineties. And when I found the internet, it immediately struck me that everything I could do online was a sculpture. You know, it was a time of broadening these definitions of what a sculpture could be. There were people who were asking is video sculpture? Is installation sculpture? It seems obvious now, but at the time it was very much a question. And so I looked at the internet and said, is the internet sculpture? I began seeking the ways in which the internet was sculpture. And in some ways that sculpture was social. In some ways that sculpture was this multimedia and interactive landscape that was totally unexplored. And that was really interesting for me.Out of this you started doing online performance. Back in 1999, we brought you to Brooklyn Academy of Music to perform Wirefire. 23 years ago you were already thinking about the internet as a place to do performance. Can you talk about this?AH: Wirefire was very much a realtime performance. Michaël [Samyn] and I met every week, we had started it before we even lived together when I was still in New York City and he was in Belgium, and we created it as a way to communicate with one another. If you rewind and think back, the only way you could really talk to someone back then through the internet was via text. There was no video and there was no audio really. We thought text was completely inadequate and both of us, being very adept at internet languages, decided to create this system where we could communicate with each other through anything. We could upload sounds, animations, and could have real time chat. We could also invite the audience and offer them a way to interact with the performance and everyone could see it at the same time. And this was something that was kind of unheard of in 1999 or very rare. We did this from 1999 until around 2003. The site is still there and it sort of has a documentation of all the places where we also took it live. After he and I started living together, we started doing these things live also because it creates a big spectacle. It's something that we did that I'm really proud of.So with the emergence of Web 2.0, you stopped making this work. What happened?AH: Well, the beauty of the early web or Web 1.0 as people will say, was that it was this very big time of innocence. I would say it started with blogging, that was the beginning of the end. That was like the end of it all for me. It felt like it was taking away the power of computing from people. It did open up the web to a different subset of people, but I felt that those people should learn how to program HTML, I felt like this was very empowering. I could see that this was slowly eating away at people's ability to see the computer for what it was, which was an open a box of tricks. And you could pull out any of those tricks and use them in any number of ways.Slowly over the years, indeed, you've seen this closing down, you know, to the point where now websites have a hamburger menu on the side and there's expected to be good navigation (I'm making air quotes). Whereas we were all about crashing the browser and making people think. Of course there were bad actors who took advantage of the freedom that the web had to offer, but it seems to me like there were better solutions than what Web 2.0 turned out to be.It became much more templatized as well.AH: Yeah it became more templatized, people are basically ignorant about what they can do with their computers now. It's not about computers, it's about phones. It's not about computers, it's about using services. It's about subscriptions. It's not about building anything, you know? Only a few people still build, and it's made more and more complicated through the way corporations have controlled the computing environment and the internet and our interactions on it. Back then I could see that coming, let's say, and I was like, nope we're outta here, let's do something else.I want to read something from a manifesto you wrote with your partner Michäel Samyn in 2006. I think this will form a kind of way for you discuss your whole new transformation into working with gaming.Realtime 3D is the most remarkable new creative technology since oil on canvas. It is much too important to be wasted on computer games alone. This manifesto is a call-to-arms for creative people (including, but not limited to, video game designers and fine artists) to embrace this new medium and start realizing its enormous potential. As well as a set of guidelines that express our own ideas and ideals about using the technology.It is much too important to remain in the hands of toy makers and propaganda machines. We need to rip the technology out of their greedy claws and put them to shame by producing the most stunning art to grace this planet so far. (And claim the name “game” for what we do even if it is inappropriate.)I love hearing that. What did you want to accomplish with this manifesto? And why did gaming suddenly become a compelling arena for you to explore and experiment?AH: Well, we really saw video games as an interactive art form. But this was 2002 or 2003, and so video games didn't know that yet. But we just looked at it and we're like, this is interactive. People spend hours 20 hours playing a video game, and you can't get that with a painting [laughs].We had been playing a lot of video games and we didn't understand them at first. We played them and questioned why they were doing this with the technology? It's as if we were visiting an alien planet and we could not compute why this was the only thing that was happening—RPGs with random battles, fighting games, driving games, adventure games. There were several genres that you had to fit into in order to sell a video game at that time. There were, of course, exceptions. But this was pretty much the world we were walking into. So when we gave that manifesto, which is called the Realtime Art Manifesto, we really thought that the most remarkable thing here was that you were making something that, like the internet, allowed for realtime communication. People could be inside a world when you played a video game, you were completely lost in it. Now you would look at certain video games and you wouldn't understand what was so special about that world, but at the time when you played, and even now when you play video games, of course it's like being inside a book, but more real, it feels real. That was what was important to us. It was something I had experienced with early VR, for example, but more so in a certain way, because it was these works of imagination. Now our problem was the imagination that we saw within video games seemed extremely limited and we wanted to be able to use it for ourselves, but also encourage others to look at video games as something that was wide open. That was, again, that box of tricks that you could just do whatever you wanted with. Literally it's like, come on creators, you can do anything with this, you can make any world! And we were some of the first to really make a point of this. There was an undercurrent in game studies at that time in 2006 trying to point this out, but there were very few examples. So we really devoted ourselves to creating that example and encouraging other people to change their thinking around video games. And we threw in that last part “even if the word game is inappropriate,” because people were eager for us to name this change. There was a big discourse at the time around: what is a game? We thought that was the most boring question ever. We were like, we're not doing that, we're not talking semantics, this is real stuff here. So we said it's a video game and that's it. So we started our little journey there, with the manifesto, and it was quite a controversy, at the time, to say these things.What was controversial about it?AH: Well, the thing we had to learn about gamers was that they quickly feel like you're coming for their stuff. There was a lot of discussion back then, and maybe there still is, about “do games cause violence?” Everyone was kind of down on gaming, saying it's for kids, or it's dangerous. And you had the US Army with their recruitment game. People were testing the limits, both psychologically and aesthetically, of what a game could be. And so gamers could be very touchy about this subject of “what is a game?” We never tried to take anything away, we were just trying to add something to that, but gamers often were feeling sensitive about [laughs] their Mario. They couldn't stand it if you dared to disdain these types of games. And we disdained a lot.But out of that you produced several games and one of them, The Endless Forest, was, according to your words, one of the most successful games that you've created. It continues to circulate and you're currently developing a new version with Unreal Engine. Tell us a little bit about what it's like to play or experience.AH: We released The Endless Forest back in 2006. It was a multiplayer game where everyone plays a deer in a forest. It was ultimately meant to be this very peaceful gesture at a time when everyone was playing World of Warcraft. We made this game as sort of the antidote to that. It was something we felt people who played World of Warcraft could dip into for five minutes. The thought of playing a game for a short amount of time in 2005 was rare. The fact that people would play games for hours and hours was what drew me to games. But at the same time, once I got there, it felt like people need experiences that they only play for 5 or 10 minutes. They can come to a world that's always there for them, but they go there and it's not about killing. It's not about points. It's not about gaining anything. It's just about being there and feeling it. And so when you're in The Endless Forest, you're there and you feel like an animal, you feel like a deer running through a forest and it's very joyful and funny. You run into other animals in the forest and those are all people playing the game and you sort of have to make up a language because there's no chat in the game. That was the big innovation, that you couldn't talk to each other, you could only make noises or sort of dance, but you find things in the forest, you play together in the forest, and do whatever you want. That was the other thing, there were no rules. So people made up their own rules about the world. They made up their own stories. There were songs written about The Endless Forest, tons of stories, and artworks created about it. People made friends in the forest, people died and had memorials in the forest, like any other multiplayer game. Except for this one was a very specific fantasy about nature and utopia, I suppose. It was our hope that people would take all this beauty and feeling of joy and take that out into the real world and in their interactions with other people and understand that you don't really have to understand each other exactly. I think it was very successful because people are still playing it and it's always been free. We've kept it that way all through the ideas of monetization. We wanted to let people enjoy it. Which again, was kind of anti Web 2.0 thinking, you know?And you're going to relaunch this as a new updated version. When is that coming out?AH: The beta is out already. We don't know when it'll be fixed because it's one of those done when it's done kind of projects since we're doing this as a side thing. We decided to remake it, and it wasn't exactly necessary. We were just just worried about the technology failing on us, so we wanted to make sure we had found a way to make The Endless Forest truly endless.With all this excitement, then, about video games and their artistic and social possibilities, you stopped making video games. Why?AH: I stopped making video games because I felt that we had said all that we had to say through the format of the commercial video game that is sold through an online store that people download and play on a PC. The part of the manifesto that I never let go of, that I felt was the key to that whole manifesto, is the realtime part. Even with the internet, when I was making websites, that was the important thing. It was realtime. People were there all connected to the same page. We made several works that were just visualizing this fact. Now we take it for granted that when you're on Twitter, everybody's sitting there on Twitter together, but back then it was very special to say, look, there's someone else here on this page. That real time aspect was something we took from games, this notion that things are being executed 60 frames a second. Even if someone else isn't there with you, you are there with the virtual creature and that virtual creature is reacting to you in realtime. So I stopped making video games because in some ways it felt like the world of gaming was getting in my head a little too much. In a very negative way, because it was a business we were running and I didn't feel like being a business person on the one hand, and on the other hand dealing with the audience part became a much bigger task. It was sometimes really unpleasant. Not so much for the players of our games, but just in general, the whole way in which games were created, sold and marketed became something that I couldn't agree with. We made our last video game in 2015, a game called Sunset, which had a very strong political message that was in some ways over people's heads. We knew it was going to be, but at the same time it was kind of like our final say, the last thing we could say about video games. We were going to try to make a game that's kind of normal, being that it was just a first person game played like other first person games, but at the same time use it to get across this political message about the time we live in by talking about the past.It's a very complex game. And I think it ended up being so complex because we knew what we were doing at last, we knew exactly how to make a game in a year, how to stay under budget, how to put together a team, how to market it. But then everything we wanted to say came out in a rush. It was like trying to put together a very intricate puzzle and make it something that people could explore. And it just felt like maybe this doesn't need to be a game. For the first time, after all the years of people telling us, did that really need to be a game? We suddenly asked ourselves does this really have to be a game? It felt like it was time to do something else.In our previous conversations you talked about the work of Polish director Tadeusz Kantor and this residency you had in 2017. It sounded like a kind of really interesting re-engagement with the potential of computation and VR. What was it about Kantor's work that moved you and re-inspired you?AH: So we had stopped, we had left what we felt was a toxic environment, but that toxic environment was still in our heads. We still didn't understand how to just be artists again and not be these people involved in this business and the games industry. We accepted a very strange offer that we got from the Polish Ministry of Culture to come to Poland and take part in this residency through the Tadeusz Kantor Foundation where they were opening up his summer home to artists to come and live there and create work. They sent us videos of his performances and we watched them and I was completely shocked. I was open mouth, flabbergasted, because I was just like, what is this? It was a whole other world and it took a while for me to really parse it. And I loved that. I loved the fact that it did something to my brain, that my brain was not ready for. Even though these were performances that happened in the nineties or eighties, it was beautiful. The more we watched his work and the way that he was interacting with his performers on stage it became an inspirational moment. We felt, this is the same as what we're interested in, he's directing this realtime performance, very much moving his actors around the stage and emotionally involved in every single line, and we felt this could translate into VR.The thing that really did it for us was that for him, there was no difference between a doll and a human actor. And that reminded us, okay, what is that in 3D? When you make a world, what makes one thing alive and another thing not alive. And in a way it's just all programming. Out of this we made Cricoterie, which we started at his summer home in the in the middle of the woods outside Kraków, Poland in this really creepy house. I mean it wasn't just creepy, It was beautiful, but he's got this giant chair outside, one of his artworks.It was just really an interesting difference between what we were doing before and what we were hoping to do now. VR was something we knew we wanted to experiment with as a way of getting out of our normal computing mode. Also, we liked the fact that when you put on the VR headset, you are really there. It's not so much about imagination, but about tangible facts, for lack of better ways of saying it. We wanted to make performances. We saw VR as something that few people were ever going to have the equipment at home, so it's perfect for actually staging things. We wanted to create installations around our VR. We staged Cricoterie at the Palace of Science and Culture in Warsaw and also had a showing at a gallery in Kraków, which was really wonderful. And had a few other showings of it also in Basel at the Museum Tinguely.And now you're going to have two shows that are upcoming, one at The Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas, which is an old cheese factory turned to a contemporary art space for visual and performing arts. And then a second show inside the online space called Feral File.AH: Yeah, during the pandemic I leaned into the fact that I wanted to make sculpture. I had my first solo show at bitforms gallery in New York City during lockdown. It was around that time where I realized that the digital work that I had been creating all along was suddenly also valued. Because outside of games, digital work was under-appreciated by the art world and really by everyone. I had been making all these digital objects all along and 3D modeling has been my life for the past 20 years.I wanted to create sculptures that were not only physical sculptures, but also digital, people could see these works as AR sculptures. And of course it was during this time when people started selling NFTs and so suddenly it became a moment where people wanted to collect these virtual sculptures as if they were real. The thing about sculpture is, and it touches on a conclusion that I came to when I had the burnout experience in 2011, was that sometimes things don't have to move, sometimes things can be simply what they are. This beauty that can transcend space time and that realtime that I always comes back toFor Feral File it's going to be completely virtual pieces being that it's an NFT show. It's a well respected space run by Casey Reas, one of those old school digital artists and someone I respect greatly. He's managed to create a space that isn't just about being marketplace, but it's about online exhibition, something we all kind of became used to during the pandemic. But now that it's not that anymore, how can you even understand what an online show is? How can you create a venue for that for artists who take digital work seriously? It's not just about, how do I put it, the ugly JPEGs, but about the actual work that a lot of us have been doing all along.Thank you Auriea, this is great. There's of course a lot more to talk about. This conversation gives us a good overview, not only into your career, but also a history of the internet. I can completely relate to that and have gone through similar phases.AH: Thank you so much. It's been great to know you all these years and to think back on what we have seen, right? So thank you for having me on the podcast. This is a public episode.

"When I look at the law and also museum policy, it's just so close to conceptual art making. You have a lot of material and you're just trying to define how it lives in the world, except with the law, everybody agrees. With conceptual art, you have to convince people to believe in it." Gala Porras-Kim is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is both conceptually rigorous and visually compelling. Born in Bogotá and based in Los Angeles, Porras-Kim creates art that explores the relationship between historical objects and the institutions that collect and display them. From writing letters questioning how museums handle artifacts to creating sculptures that honor the spiritual lives of antiquities, Porras-Kim's practice is part concept, part material manifestation. The artist's current exhibition, Precipitation for an Arid Landscape, focuses on the Peabody Museum's collection of thousands of artifacts originally found in a giant sinkhole: the Sacred Cenote at Chichén Itzá on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. The exhibition is one in a series of solo shows at the Amant Foundation in Brooklyn, Gasworks in London, and the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis. The work is based partly on research Porras-Kim carried out while she was a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies at Harvard and an artist in residence at the Getty Research Institute. In this episode, Porras-Kim muses about rummaging through museum archives, the rights of mummies, and potlucks in the Pink Palace.

To be black and southern is to contend with the embedded legacy of racial terror and grapple with the unique and enduring culture created in its shadow. The term “dirty south” can invoke many images connected to southern agrarian life, but hip-hop artists have transformed it into a banner of pride. Dirty South now represents a short cut for understanding the perspectives of creatives who were raised or procured their work in the South – through music, art, fashion, and other forms of cultural products that possessed a specific, Southern lens. This work has been captured in an exhibit called, “Dirty South,” currently on display at the Contemporary Art Museum of Houston until February. On this episode of I SEE U, join us as guest host, Dr. Melayne Price, chats with the exhibit's curator, Valerie Cassel Oliver, as well as Houston artists Nathaniel Donnett and Mel Chin whose works are included in the show. Find out what happens when contemporary art merges with the roots of Southern hip-hop culture in The Dirty South.

Wassan Al-Khudhairi, Chief Curator of the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, stopped by to talk with Nancy about the museum and one of the current exhibitions, Stories of Resistance. Stories of Resistance explores artistic forms of resistance from across the world. Through visual narratives, artists amplify and bring to focus the multitude of conditions that ignite and inspire people to resist. The exhibition activates the entire museum space, inside and out, with video, photography, drawing, sculpture, painting, and installation. Presenting narratives from many social, political, and geographical spaces, the artists include: Bani Abidi, Andrea Bowers, Banu Cennetoğlu, Torkwase Dyson, Emily Jacir, Glenn Kaino, Bouchra Khalili, Candice Lin, Jen Liu, Guadalupe Maravilla, Tuấn Andrew Nguyễn, Trevor Paglen, PSA: (Jen Everett, Aida Hasanović, Simiya Sudduth), Wendy Red Star, Dread Scott, Kemang Wa Lehulere, and Wide Awakes (Maryam Parwana, Combo, Otherward). St. Louis serves as an ideal platform for Stories of Resistance. Resistance movements that have arisen here, most especially the rise of Black Lives Matter in response to the police killing of Michael Brown, have incited global actions against racism and injustice. By looking through a local lens, the exhibition draws connections worldwide, revealing profound influences that traverse borders and cultures. With this in mind, Radio Resistance, an integral component of the exhibition, will broadcast conversations between exhibiting artists and artists, activists, scholars, and others with a deep knowledge and experience of St. Louis. Because of radio's legacy as a tool for dissent, it serves as the medium for dialogue between intersecting local and global agents of change. Alongside the exhibition and radio program, a CAM publication will include images of works in the exhibition and writings that further explore and expand on the ideas and themes of Stories of Resistance.

Cristina Mejías (Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, 1986) We have become accustomed to preconceiving the academic world as the legitimate container and transmitter of knowledge. We have the luxury of being able to forget something because we can always retrieve it from books. But here it is not enough to simply dry a leaf and store it in a herbarium, because a living plant is bitten by the air, and it is important that this happens. Libraries need to be driven by our desire in order to take on life. The practice of orality cuts across bodies. The listener listens. Cristina Mejías’ work is predicated on familiar narrations and storytelling, challenging the strict, traditional methods used to construct history by means of a linear narrative. What has brought us here to the present is founded upon the strata of History and stories that predate us. The creation of something regarded as new always begins with seizing a murmuring that triggers the story. Mejías has a degree in Fine Arts from UEM (Madrid) and NCAD (Dublin) and a Master’s in Research in Art and Creation from UCM (Madrid). After several years living in Berlin, now she lives and works in Madrid. Her work has recently been exhibited individually in Art centers such as Centro Párraga (Murcia, SP)- A un tiempo. Unos higos y un cántaro , Museum of Jaen and Museum of Cadiz (Jaen/Cádiz, SP)- For What Cannot Be Recovered Can at Least Be Reenacted, Blueproject Foundation (Barcelona, SP)- You Can't Leave Fingerprints on Stone, a project born thanks to the collaboration with archaeologist and performer Efthimis Theou-, and the Contemporary Art Museum from Maracaibo (Maracaibo, VZ)- Tejer y contar. Her work has also appeared in group exhibitions in Art institutions such as Tabakalera Donostia- Estudiotik at (San Sebastián, SP), CA2M- Colección XX (Madrid), La Casa Encedida- Generación 2020 and Things That Never Happened but Have Always Existed (Madrid, SP), SCAN Projects-Where water Rumbles (London, UK), CentroCentro (Madrid, SP), C3A-Touching Ground (Cordoba, SP), Fundación Mendoza- Correspondencias de Ultramar #4 Ana Navas y Cristina Mejías (Caracas, VZ), Artothèque-Ceux qui nous lient (Bordeaux, FR) or Tea-La tierra tiembla (Tenerife, SP). Along with her personal artistic work, currently she is collaborating with artist and performer Víctor Colmenero and their work has been seen or will be seen in places such as Volcánica Festival (Guadalajara, MX), La Capilla Theatre and Proyecto H (Mexico City, MX) or Pradillo Theatre (Madrid, SP). She has recently won a number of awards and grants, including Generación 2020, Blueproject Foundation, VEGAP XXIII, Comunidad de Madrid|Estampa award or Iniciarte. Over the course of the last months, she has been artist in residence at Pico do Refúgio (Azores, PT), Hangar Lisboa (Lisboa, PT), C3A (Cordoba, SP), Matadero Madrid (Madrid, SP), Ateliers dos Coruchéus (Lisboa, PT), Tabakalera Donostia (San Sebastián, PT) and MACZUL (Maracaibo, VZ) The book mentioned was by Ursula K.

Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works talks about the firm's first museum commission- the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis. The Contemporary is a non-collecting exhibition, educational and event space in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The site is located in the Grand Center District, adjacent to the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts. Together, the institutions are a focal point for the arts community in St. Louis and a catalyst for the redevelopment of the surrounding neighborhood. The Contemporary’s mission is not to preserve, but to provoke: presenting work from noted artists such as Maya Lin, Bruce Nauman and Cindy Sherman, as well as emerging contemporary artists.The two-story, 27,000 sf museum provides open, flexible space for exhibitions and programs while emphasizing transparency at ground level. The building is formed by two intersecting ribbons of concrete and stainless steel mesh that weave and overlap to define the principal volumes. The lower walls bound the museum and create a series of large interconnecting galleries. The walls alternately delineate the site boundaries and fold inwards, inviting the public to enter and providing views through the building from the neighboring streets. The upper walls span above the galleries, providing spaces for administration and education. Between these walls, ceiling planes are held at varying heights to create variations in scale, proportion and enclosure, providing a diversity of day lighting conditions and curatorial opportunities.This building is a simultaneous act of enclosure and invitation, allowing the landscape to flow through the entire site, while tenuously capturing and containing rooms for art. The museum is not a privileged domain, but an open field that concentrates the forces of the city in preparation for later occupation by the artists.

We all know what to expect in a theatre. We all know what to expect in an art gallery. But in which of these worlds does Performance Art belong? One answer is the Ming Contemporary Art Museum (McaM) in Shanghai, and one person who can explain this world is the artist and curator, Zhang Yuan. Yuan's story also helps to paint a picture of the independent art scene in China, and the way in which performance art can convert audience members into active participants, and ultimately into a community of open-minded thinkers.

Episode Summary: Haddy and Yassi chat about the art created in or inspired by revolution: May ‘68 and Calypso Music. Then they interview multimedia artist and activist Clark Stoeckley. And as always, end the show with an art “provocation” … what do you hate and love? P.S. The audio is a little wonky in the episode. Our connection was bad and Yassi’s microphone broke. Thanks for bearing with us on this! Provocation (#artifpodcast): On a piece of paper, draw lines dividing it into 4 quadrants, then divide each quadrant into 2 columns. Title each quadrant “self,” “community,” “nation,” and “world.” In the left column of each quadrant write three things you love for that category. In the right column, three things you would change. What do these lists reveal about the way you see the world? Don’t forget to tag us on instagram #artifpodcast.

314 Day is this Saturday, and that means St. Louisans near and far are gearing up to show up and out for their city. The local holiday began as an informal celebration by residents — particularly in the black community. Within that community, people often gather for block parties, neighborhood barbecues and club events when the last numbers of their zip code or street number correspond with a date on the calendar. A day named for St. Louis’ main area code was a natural way to take the party city-wide. St. Louis natives Ryan Escobar, Tenelle Winmore and Sierra Brown are hosting their biggest 314 Day celebration yet. Called “STL Exchange,” the party will take place at the Contemporary Art Museum. Escobar and Winmore join host Sarah Fenske to share what makes them St. Louis-proud, preview the event and discuss how they hope to create a more united city.
Joanne Heyler, founding director of the Los Angeles contemporary art museum The Broad, takes Kai on a tour of the vaults where the collection that’s not on display is kept. They discuss both how art can reflect the economy and the business of running a museum.

What does "creative resilience" mean for curators in the year 2019? One evening, we decide to find out. Setting up a temporary recording studio in a poolside cabana, at a Miami Beach hotel, we sit down with a dozen curators and cultural producers to document their stories. In this marathon recording session, you’ll hear curatorial strategies for engaging new communities, increasing the visibility of underrepresented artists, and addressing some of today's most pressing social, political and environmental challenges. We recorded this special program when the annual Congress of the Association of International Curators of Contemporary Art (IKT) took place in the United States for the first time. Curators from the U.S., Europe and the Caribbean gathered in Miami, Florida, to explore the contemporary art scene and participate in a symposium about art and resilience in the climate crisis.

Join Paul and me for this very special episode of the TPF Podcast. We hosted out annual F1 Season Preview event at the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis Missouri this evening and we thought for this week's podcast, you might like to listen to the show if you weren't able to attend it. We recorded it live and thanks to the fine folks at the museum, we have a mixer to take a direct line-out feed for my recorder. Add some noise reduction and I hope this recording is better than last year's version. We cover a lot of material so apologies for the length but we do get around to each team and driver. Paul and I share our thoughts about the upcoming season. A HUGE thank you to the Contemporary Art Museum, Alex Londe of Can-Am Cars, Eric Nordstrom and of course my co-host and dear friend Paul Charsley.

Compared to the swooping architecture of other fine-art institutions, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (aka Mass MoCA) is a hulking, big-boned anomaly. “We don't just collect art and hang it on white walls,” says director Joseph Thompson. The cavernous complex displays works that couldn't fit anywhere else.
I met Nicholas Sailer just minutes after his presentation at Creative Mornings/Raleigh several weeks ago. He'd just rocked the space at the Contemporary Art Museum in Raleigh talking about his new book “A Story Each Day”.Although the handful of stories he read were riveting, just about all I could focus on were the mindset and processes he must have had in place to generate an original story every day throughout 2014, when his project was initiated. In 2015, Nicholas posted each of the stories that he'd written on that date, from the year before. Throughout the year, he built a following for the project, launched a Kickstarter campaign to publish the collection, then had the project completed and in circulation by the end of the year. All this while working full time as a creative leader at Betabox Labs. Nicholas is an accomplished filmmaker as well, having won recognition for a couple of short films, including an official selection screening of his film 'The Strong One' at the Cannes Film Festival in May of 2012.
This week's show showcases the NC Artists Fellowships Exhibition in Raleigh, we meet the woman behind an amazing taco eatery in Greensboro, visit Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema, explore the NC Aviation Museum and Hall of Fame in Asheboro and Deborah Holt Noel learns about sushi at Enso Asian Bistro in Charlotte.
This week: Part 2 of our residency project at the Contemporary Art Museum of St. Louis! This week we talk to critic, poet, gallerist, the award winning Director of the Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts Director and Art in America contributor Jessica Baran. This was one of those interviews that I will look upon as a personal favorite. Besides Bad at Sports declares war on Art News. What could be better. http://jessicabaran.com http://www.fortgondo.com Jessica Baran is the author of the poetry collections "Remains to be Used" (Apostrophe Books, 2010) and "Equivalents" (winner of the Besmilr Brigham Women Writers Award, forthcoming from Lost Roads Press, 2013), as well as the poetry chapbook, "Late and Soon, Getting and Spending," produced by All Along Press (2011). She lives in St. Louis, Missouri, where she is a freelance art writer and co-curator of the fort gondo poetry series.
This week: The first in our St. Louis trip interviews. We talk to Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis Director Lisa Melandri live and without a net at our opening, in front of a moderately baffled audience. Topics include the Jeremy Deller show that was up at the time, institutional purpose, why certain LA museums are looney tunes, and so much more! From Alive Magazine: When Lisa Melandri took her position as Director of CAM just last August, she brought with her some serious credentials. While she was Deputy Director for Exhibitions and Programs at the Santa Monica Museum of Art, the museum grew significantly, nearly doubled its staff and budget, and drew national and international acclaim. Now she plans to bring the same magic to St. Louis. “I’m really thinking in depth of what a contemporary art institution is and who it can serve,” Melandri says, envisioning a space that functions as a living room where people come just to “hang out.” It’s what she calls a “sea change” in perception. Part of that change is using the museum to its fullest capability, where even a discreet nook is potential exhibit space. “You should always be running into art,” Melandri says, referencing the highly anticipated Jeremy Deller exhibit this month. “I want to see art in the bathrooms and elevators.” Go buy the Mr. Litte Jeans single Oh Sailor on Itunes, it's swell.

As many as three artists are selected by a panel of esteemed national jurors to receive an award of $15,000 each and an exhibition at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis.The goal of this innovative awards program is to identify talented emerging local artists, provide them financial assistance, raise the visibility of their work in both the Midwest and national art community, and provide them with professional support from visiting critics, curators and dealers.Emerging artists in the St. Louis area were invited to submit work from any of the following categories: drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, and multi-media. An emerging artist is someone in the early stages of his or her career development who has not yet received wide exhibition exposure locally or nationally or significant financial awards from other organizations.During summer 2005, Great Rivers Biennial jurors reviwed all submissions and selected three emerging artists to receive the award. This year's high profile panel of jurors included Elizabeth Dunbar, Curator at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City; Gary Garellis, Senior Curator at UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; and Helen Molesworth; Chief Curator of Exhibitions at Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus.The recipients of the inaugural Great Rivers Biennial 2004 were Jill Downen, Adam Frelin, and Kim Humphries who were selected by jurors Lisa Corrin, Director, Williams College Museum of Art; Debra Singer, Executive Director and Chief Curator, The Kitchen; and Hamza Walker, Department Director, Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago.Information courtesy Great Rivers Biennial 2006 catalogue, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (www.contemporarystl.org)In these three interviews, produced during the week of the opening exhibition, by Hugh Beall and illusionJunkie.com, William Griffin, Artistic Director of the St. Louis Veiled Prophet Parade, talks with Moses, Matthew Strauss and Jason Wallace Triefenbach.
