Podcast appearances and mentions of Diane Arbus

Viral videos from the LA ICE protests show police firing “less lethal” weapons into crowds and at journalists. Advocates say the cops are not following the law. Weeks before ICE raided a Home Depot in Westlake on Friday, the White House ordered the agency to ramp up sweeps to help meet President Trump’s deportation targets.  The Supreme Court decision New York Times v. Sullivan protects journalists from debilitating lawsuits. A group of billionaires, lawyers, and right-wing groups are trying to overturn it. Culture critic Carolina Miranda weighs in on a retrospective of Diane Arbus’ photography at Zwirner gallery, and a Wende Museum exhibition about mass surveillance in former East Germany during the Cold War.

Notre invitée est Aurélie Wilmet pour sa BD "Diane Arbus : Photographier les invisibles" (Casterman) La première biographie dessinée sur la célèbre photographe new-yorkaise. Artiste majeure du milieu du XXᵉ siècle, Diane Arbus débute sa carrière comme photographe de mode mais développe peu à peu une démarche plus personnelle en prenant pour modèles des individus appartenant à des groupes marginalisés (travestis, handicapés, nudistes...) et en les montrant dans leur humanité plutôt que comme des bêtes de foire. Diane Arbus a redéfini les limites de ce qui peut être photographié, montré, exposé, et a contribué à la normalisation et à l'acceptation de ces identités atypiques. Malgré un rôle majeur dans l'histoire de la photographie, elle reste relativement méconnue en France et dans le reste de la francophonie. Cette biographie retrace son parcours professionnel mais aussi sa vie personnelle et amoureuse ainsi que la dégradation de sa santé mentale durant les dernières années de sa vie.

A 68. adás vendége Kudász Gábor Arion fotográfus, oktató, a Moholy-Nagy Művészeti Egyetem docense..Arion az alkotásán és az egyetemhez kapcsolódó tevékenységén keresztül kiemelkedően fontos szerepet játszik a magyar fotográfia helyzetének és nemzetközi megítélésének előremozdításában. Művészcsaládba született, gyerekkorától szívta magába az alkotói légkört és igen korán eldöntötte, hogy a fényképezéssel szeretne komolyabban foglalkozni. A Magyar Iparművészeti Egyetemen (a MOME elődjén) tanult fotográfiát, ahol 2003-ban diplomázott le, majd az oktatásra is lehetőséget kapott. 2014 és 2025 között vezette a fotográfia mesterképzést, 2017 óta témavezető a MOME Doktori Iskolájában, irányítása alatt 2022-ben állt át a fotográfus mesterképzés angol nyelvre. Arion fotográfiai munkái megrendezett és fiktív elemeket építenek be hosszú távú dokumentarista projektekbe, amelyeket a honlapján részletesen bemutatva is láttok. Javaslom, az adás előtt vessetek erre egy pillantást, különösen legújabb, Tropical Depression című munkájára, melyből nemrég könyv is készült és amelyet az adásban részletesen górcső alá veszünk.Eredményeit számos díjjal és ösztöndíjjal ismerték el, többek között 2013-ban a Magyar Köztársaság Balogh Rudolf-díjával, 2015-ben Robert Capa-nagydíjjal, 2018-ban a Magyar Művészeti Akadémia ösztöndíjával, 2021-ben pedig részt vett az egy díjjal felérő Saari Residence programban. Arion művei nemzetközi kiállításokon láthatók és magánkiadásban fotókönyveket is megjelentet..Az adás első részében kérdeztem őt a már említett, Vietnámban készült Tropical Depression anyag és könyv kalandos történetéről. Ennek kapcsán mesélt a fiatal generáció élethelyzetéről; gyermekeiről és a családi dinamikákról; az alkotásban felmerülő nehézségek és kudarcok kezeléséről; Vietnámról és arról is, hogyan jelenik meg a valóság és az igazság kérdésköre a fotográfiai gondolkodásban. A műsor második részében a fotóhoz vezető útjáról, illetve az életében meghatározó szerepet játszó MOME-ról beszélgettünk. Az utazást a magyar fotográfia helyzetének vizsgálatával zárjuk, így lett kerek a történet. Jó szórakozást kívánok hozzá!------------- FONTOS:A wopcast-et támogathatod Patreon-on és egyszerű utalással is..Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/wopcast.Az utalás ide érkezhet:Kocsány Kornél - CIB Bank10700495-62634067-51100005------------Arionról bővebben:https://www.arionkudasz.com/https://www.instagram.com/arionkudasz/.A „Tropical Depression” című könyv:https://www.arionkudasz.com/tropical.html------------Az Arion által említett fotográfusok:.Diane Arbus:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Arbushttps://fraenkelgallery.com/artists/diane-arbushttps://youtu.be/Q_0sQI90kYI?si=rOByt_5wd8K5VRfshttps://www.instagram.com/diane_arbus/.Bognár Benedekhttps://www.instagram.com/benedekbognar/https://cargocollective.com/benedekbognar-------------A wopcast, a wonderzofphotography és a wonderzofpainting:https://www.facebook.com/wopcastforlifehttps://www.facebook.com/wonderzofphotographyhttps://www.instagram.com/wopcast_hunhttps://www.instagram.com/wonderzofphotographyhttps://www.facebook.com/wonderzofpaintinghttps://www.instagram.com/wonderzofpaintingwww.youtube.com/@wopcast-------------Ha bármi kérdésetek, kérésetek lenne, keressetek bátran awonderzofphotography@gmail.com emailcímen vagy közvetlenül bármelyikközösségi médián.-------------Műsorvezető: © Kocsány Kornélhttps://linktr.ee/kornelkocsanyArculatfelelős: © Kocsány Ákoshttps://linktr.ee/wyldebeest

Den amerikanske fotografen Diane Arbus ble født i New York i 1923. Kunstnerskapet hennes problematiserer grenser, voyeurisme, etikk og moral i forhold til hva og hvem man kan fotografere. Arbeidene hennes har blitt kalt både freak og victim photography. I denne episoden av Kunstpoddens serie Kunsthistorier ser kunsthistorikerne Mona Pahle Bjerke og Cecilie Tyri Holt nærmere på storbyfotografiet. De tar også turen til en fotograf som har beveget seg fra gata og rockekonserter, og inn i den norske regnskogen; Morten Andersen.Denne episoden er laget i samarbeid med Sparebankstiftelsen DNB.

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met Mattie Boom. Samen met Hans Rooseboom stelde Boom de tentoonstelling American Photography samen voor het Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Amerika is met voorsprong het belangrijkste en invloedrijkste land in de fotografie. Sinds de uitvinding van de fotografie in 1839 is deze kunst doorgedrongen tot in de haarvaten van de Amerikaanse samenleving. In geen enkel land wordt het medium zo breed, zichtbaar en invloedrijk gedragen.  De tentoonstelling American Photography viert deze verbintenis in meer dan 280 beelden die het Amerikaanse leven tonen door de lens van fotografen als Robert Frank, Andres Serrano, Nan Goldin, Andy Warhol, Diane Arbus, Dawoud Bey, Carleton Watkins en Paul Strand. 

Daniel Power of PowerHouse Books and Yolanda Cuomo of Yolanda Cuomo Design join me for my 200th episode to talk about their famed collaborations including their latest, Larry Fink: Hands On / A Passionate Life of Looking (PowerHouse). This was a really fun and enlightening episode. It is filled with great history and great humor from two incredibly influential figures in photography who also happen to be two great friends. Daniel and Yo talk about their own histories and achievements as well as the love and dedication that went into this last book they worked on with Larry Fink before he passed. https://powerhousebooks.com ||| https://yocuomo.com This podcast is sponsored by the Charcoal Book Club Begin Building your dream photobook library today at https://charcoalbookclub.com Founder and Publisher Daniel Power started powerHouse Books in 1995, and was joined by Craig Cohen in 1996. The early years had Power and Cohen tag-teaming on a few books at a time, raising the bar each season when, in 1998, powerHouse Books had its first best-seller, Women Before 10 A.M. by Véronique Vial. Power and Cohen followed up that success in 1999 with the critically-acclaimed cult monographs X-Ray, by François Nars, and Life is Paradise, by Francesco Clemente and Vincent Katz. In Fall 2006, powerHouse Books launched The POWERHOUSE Arena, a laboratory for creative thought: exhibitions, installations, presentations, displays, viewings, performances, readings, and retail therapy—all drawing upon photography and popular culture as sources of inspiration. Located at 28 Adams Street in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn, the 10,200–square foot marquis showroom and retail space is unlike any other in New York City, featuring a soaring 24-foot ceiling on the 5,000–square foot ground floor, and an equally impressive 5,000–square foot mezzanine, with over 175 feet of glass frontage, designed by esteemed architect David Howell Design. Attached by a central staircase is the Arena Skylounge, a 560 square-foot, mezzanine-level, multifunctional gallery, VIP lounge, and green room. These stunning spaces have hosted a series of landmark exhibitions and events, and are now available for private hire. Yolanda Cuomo is an experienced art director and avid educator. As Principal of Yolanda Cuomo Design, she provides the creative vision, direction, and passion behind all of the Studio's work. Cuomo and her team work collaboratively with their clients, which include leading publishers, museums, authors, editors, artists, and photographers, to develop memorable and meaningful cultural and commercial projects. Cuomo's recent projects include the design of two books with photographer Pete Souza OBAMA, An Intimate Portrait and SHADE, A Tale of Two Presidents, a seven hundred page book entitled An Anthology about Paolo Pellegrin curated by Germano Celant that accompanied an exhibition at the Maxxi Museum in Rome, Italy, a book about Bob Dylan called DYLAN BY SCHATZBERG and the book A Life In Pictures: Steve McCurry. Throughout 2013, Cuomo edited and designed a two-volume nine-hundred-page limited-edition box set, The Library of Julio Santo Domingo, which also included a special-edition iPad and private app celebrating this collection. In fall 2012, Cuomo co-authored with Norma Stevens the book New York at Night, a collection of photographs published by PowerHouse Books. In 2011, Cuomo's studio designed the enormously successful Diane Arbus retrospective which was organized by the Jeu de Paume in Paris, and traveled internationally.

Born in Indiana and raised in Wisconsin, Joe is a son of the American heartland. As a child, he wasn't pointing a camera or standing in front of one; he was the blabber-mouth recruiting neighborhood talent to help tell his stories. Not much has changed since then. "When I was six, I destroyed my grandfather's brand new Hi8 camcorder by blasting him in the face with a super soaker. This work is my atonement." Matt Hoodhood was born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI where his fascination with light began. He studied Cinematography at Columbia College Chicago and has been living in Los Angeles since 2014 where he enjoys the great outdoors, playing folk music on the banjo, and photography (Todd Hido, Alex Webb, and Diane Arbus are some of his favorites). Erin Kobrin is a Los Angeles-based wardrobe stylist and costume designer known for crafting distinctive looks across fashion campaigns, editorials, music projects, and narrative storytelling. Drawing inspiration from the visionary artistry of Colleen Atwood and the rebellious elegance of Vivienne Westwood, Erin brings a bold and imaginative perspective to every project. Her work seamlessly blends creativity and precision, delivering unforgettable style that captivates and resonates.

Our third of four Bill Lane Center for the American West podcasts featured Stanford's Alex Nemerov in conversation with Michael Krasny. The discussion began with what makes Western art distinctive and what captured Alex's imagination. Michael then explored Alex's approach to curating art exhibitions and discussed the influences of Alex's father, celebrated poet Howard Nemerov, and his aunt, iconic pioneer photographer Diane Arbus. This led to a discussion of Susan Sontag's book on photography and photography's status as fine art. The conversation then broadened to explore various themes: women artists, Jasper Johns, the universal and spiritual elements in art, solipsism, art for the marketplace versus art for art's sake, and socially purposeful versus aesthetic art. Alex shared both personal and professional perspectives on art's power—from its inward transformative and transfiguring effects to its broader meaning and potential as a world-changing agent. The interview concluded with a discussion of kindness, and Alex revealed what he considers the greatest work in American art.

Sandrine Expilly est bien plus qu'une photographe – elle est une conteuse visuelle, une observatrice attentive de l'humain, dont le travail touche à la fois à l'intime et à l'universel. À travers ses portraits et ses projets personnels, elle transforme chaque image en un espace de réflexion, de mémoire et de quête poétique.

Episode 100: A brush with… Marlene DumasIn this, the 100th episode of A brush with…, Marlene Dumas talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Dumas was born in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1953 and lives and works in Amsterdam. She is a painter whose intensity is unrivalled. Using found images and responding to memory, she has the ability to seduce and repel, to lull and to shock, often all in a single image or group of works. She is endlessly daring in her questioning of her medium and what it can do, in the unorthodox formats and scale she chooses for her imagery, in the way she reflects on historic art and ideas, movies and literature, and in her unflinching confrontation of her own life. Her paintings and drawings are a means of responding to external events and internal feelings in ways that can be absurd, confounding, funny and profoundly affecting. And while her themes and language are consistent, she is always pushing herself to new territory and breaking boundaries. She discusses the early influence of comic illustration, the enduring effect on her of Francisco Goya's work, how she grew to love the work of Edgar Degas, Edvard Munch and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres after first dismissing them, and her admiration for Nicole Eisenman and Diane Arbus, among others. She also gives insight in her life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including, “What is art for?”Marlene Dumas: Mourning Marsyas, Frith Street Gallery, London, until 16 November.

Episode 280 Guest: Alex Osman Book: Scandals --- In this episode, I sit down with the multi-talented Alex Osman, a writer, musician, and photographer based in Austin, Texas. We dive into his latest poetry collection, Scandals, which was released on August 1st. Alex shares the organic process behind compiling the collection, starting with just 20 poems in 2021 and eventually amassing nearly 80. We delve into his unique approach to art, where unfulfilled film scripts often become poems or short stories. A particularly fascinating story is how John Waters discovered Alex's work, leading to an unexpected and supportive friendship. We also touch on Alex's musical endeavors with his projects A Need to Be Shot and Thinner, both available on Bandcamp. Additionally, we explore his passion for photography, influenced by icons like William Eggleston and Diane Arbus, and his ongoing project to compile a full-length photo book. Thanks for listening!

In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, we delve into the captivating world of street photography, where the pulse of a city beats through every frame. Join us as we explore the art of capturing the essence of a city—the rhythm of its streets, the diversity of its people, and the stories etched into its sidewalks and skylines. Our guest, Phil Penman, shares his insights into the nuances of capturing the soul of a city. From bustling metropolises to sleepy neighborhoods, we discuss the magic of street photography as a means of documenting the ever-evolving tapestry of urban life. Phil also shares his tips and techniques for consistently finding interesting images to capture. Street photography serves as a powerful lens through which to explore the complex layers of urban culture. By capturing fleeting moments of beauty, chaos, and humanity, photographers offer us a glimpse into the heart and soul of a city. From the iconic landmarks that define its skyline to the hidden alleyways that pulse with life, each image tells a story—a snapshot of the city's past, present, and future.

In his career as a news and magazine photographer, with a large body of work in such publications as The Guardian, The Independent, The New York Review of Books, among others, he has photographed major public figures and historical events. In particular, his report-age following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center has been featured on NBC's Today show, as well as on the BBC, History Channel, and Al Jazeera, and his images have been included in the 9/11 Memorial and Museum's archives. His work covering the pandemic lockdown in New York City has been acquired by the U.S. Library of Congress, whose collection holds work by such great Depression-era documentarians as Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange.

Today I am joined by Catherine Casalino to talk about the life and work of the incredible graphic designer and artist, Barbara Kruger. From her graphic design background, how that influenced her art, to the meaning and impact of her collaged artwork. We even dive into the ironic cycle of her regurgitated work being regurgitated by the skateboard brand, Supreme, and their head-scratching lawsuit story.____Barbara Kruger was born in 1945 in Newark, New Jersey. Kruger briefly attended Syracuse University, then Parsons School of Design in New York City, where she studied with artists and photographers Marvin Israel and Diane Arbus. Kruger worked in graphic design for Condé Nast Publications at Mademoiselle magazine, and was promoted to head designer within a year, at the age of twenty-two. Kruger has described her time in graphic design as “the biggest influence on my work…[it] became, with a few adjustments, my ‘work' as an artist.”In the early 1970s, Kruger started showing artwork in galleries in New York. At the time, she was mainly working in weaving and painting. However, she felt that her artwork lacked meaning, and in 1976, she quit creating art entirely for a year. She took a series of teaching positions, including at University of California, Berkeley. When she began making art again in 1977, she had moved away from her earlier style into photo and text collages. In 1979, Kruger developed her signature style using large-scale black-and-white images overlaid with text. She repurposed found images, juxtaposing them with short, pithy phrases printed in Futura Bold or Helvetica Extra Bold typeface in black, white, or red text bars. In addition to creating text and photographic works, Kruger has produced video and audio works, written criticism, taught classes, curated exhibitions, designed products, such as T-shirts and mugs, and developed public projects, such as billboards, bus wraps, and architectural interventions.Kruger addresses media and politics in their native tongue: sensational, authoritative, and direct. Personal pronouns like “you” and “I” are staples of Kruger's practice, bringing the viewer into each piece. “Direct address has motored my work from the very beginning,” Kruger said. “I like it because it cuts through the grease.” Kruger's work prompts us to interrogate our own positions; in the artist's words, “to question and change the systems that contain us.” She demands that we consider how our identities are formed within culture, through representation in language and image.______Thank you Catherine for joining me!catherinecasalino.com@cat.casalino Catherine Casalino is the principal and creative director of Casalino Design, an independent design company in New York City, focusing on book design and branding.Prior to founding Casalino Design in 2016, Catherine worked in-house as an art director and designer at Simon & Schuster, Random House, and Hachette Book Group, and she began her career at Rodrigo Corral Design.Over the past two decades, Catherine's work has been recognized by numerous international design organizations and publications.

Alberto Rossetti"Vivian Maier. Il ritratto e il suo doppio"Riccione, Villa Mussolini, fino al 3 novembre 202492 scatti realizzati prima con la fotocamera Rolleiflex e poi con la Leica e alcuni video girati in Super8 trasportano idealmente i visitatori nelle strade di New York e di Chicago, dove i continui giochi di ombre e riflessi mostrano la presenza-assenza dell'artista che, con i suoi autoritratti, cerca di mettersi in relazione con il mondo circostante.Gli scatti raccontano la sua vita in totale anonimato fino al 2007, quando il suo immenso e impressionante lavoro, composto da più di centoventimila negativi, filmati Super 8mm e 16mm, diverse registrazioni audio, fotografie stampate e centinaia di rullini non sviluppati, venne scoperto in bauli, cassetti e nei luoghi più impensati da John Maloof, fotografo per passione e agente immobiliare per professione che li acquista un po' per caso, salvandoli dall'oblio e rivelando al mondo l'immenso patrimonio fotografico di Vivian Maier.In tutti questi scatti si riconosce un'incessante ricerca per dimostrare la propria esistenza, non certo per una rappresentazione edonistica, ma la disperata affermazione di sé e la fuga da un'esistenza invisibile.Grazie a quel ritrovamento una "semplice tata” è riuscita a diventare, postuma, “la grande fotografa Vivian Maier”.In tutto il suo lavoro, ci sono temi ricorrenti: scene di strada, ritratti di anonimi estranei e persone con cui potrebbe essersi identificata, il mondo dei bambini - che è stato il suo mondo per così tanto tempo - ma emerge un' evidente predilezione per gli autoritratti. Lei stessa appare in molti scatti, con una moltitudine di forme e variazioni, a tal punto da configurare una sorta di linguaggio all'interno del suo linguaggio.A differenza di Narciso, che si distrusse nella contemplazione e nell'ammirazione della propria immagine, l'interesse di Vivian Maier per il ritratto di sé è piuttosto una disperata ricerca della sua identità. Costretta in una “invisibile non-esistenza”, a causa del suo status sociale, Vivian Maier ha silenziosamente e discretamente iniziato a produrre prove irrefutabili della sua presenza in un mondo in cui sembrava non avere posto.Riflessi del suo viso in uno specchio, la sua ombra che si allunga sul terreno, il contorno della sua figura: ogni autoritratto di Vivian Maier è una affermazione della sua presenza in quel luogo particolare, in quel momento particolare. La caratteristica ricorrente che è diventata una firma nei suoi autoritratti è l'ombra.L'ombra, quel duplicato del corpo in negativo, "scolpito dalla realtà", che ha la capacità di rendere presente ciò che è assente. All'interno di questo dualismo, Vivian Maier ha giocato con il sé e con il suo doppio.E poiché una fotografia, come ha detto Edouard Boubat, è "qualcosa di strappato alla vita", nel caso di Vivian Maier, i suoi autoritratti accumulati configurano una precisa identità, che ora ha preso il suo posto in un presente perpetuo, costantemente ripetuto e sigillato dalla Storia.Vivian Maier nasce a New York, il 1 febbraio 1926, i genitori presto si separano e viene affidata alla madre, che si trasferisce presso un'amica francese, Jeanne Bertrand, fotografa professionista. Negli anni Trenta le due donne e la piccola Vivian si recano in Francia, dove vive sino ai 12 anni. Nel 1938 torna a New York e per oltre quarant'anni è solo una “tata francese” mentre, nella stanzetta messa a disposizione dalla famiglia presso cui abita, coltiva una passione immensa: la macchina fotografica Rolleiflex poggiata sul ventre, e poi la Leica davanti agli occhi. Riproduce la cronaca emotiva della realtà quotidiana.I soggetti delle sue fotografie sono persone che incontra nei quartieri degradati delle città, frammenti di una realtà caotica che pullula di vita, istanti catturati nella loro semplice spontaneità. La fotografia era il suo hobby totalizzante e ha finito per renderla una delle più acclamate rappresentanti della street photography, collocata, nella Storia della Fotografia, accanto a grandi fotografi come Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, Helen Levitt e Garry Winogrand. In tutto il suo lavoro ci sono temi ricorrenti: scene di strada, ritratti anonimi estranei e persone con cui potrebbe essersi identificata, il mondo dei bambini – che è stato il suo mondo per così tanto tempo – ma emerge una evidente predilezione per gli autoritratti. Lei stessa appare in molti scatti.La mostra esplora proprio il tema dell'autoritratto di Vivian Maier a partire dai suoi primi lavori fino alla fine del Novecento. Le sue ricerche estetiche si possono ricondurre a tre categorie chiave, che corrispondono alle tre sezioni della mostra, allestite dopo un'introduzione biografica.La prima è intitolata L'OMBRA. Vivian Maier ha adottato questa tecnica utilizzando la proiezione della propria silhouette. Si tratta probabilmente della più sintomatica e riconoscibile tra tutte le tipologie di ricerca formale da lei utilizzate. L'ombra è la forma più vicina alla realtà, è una copia simultanea. È il primo livello di una autorappresentazione, dal momento che impone una presenza senza rivelare nulla di ciò che rappresenta.Attraverso IL RIFLESSO, a cui è dedicata la seconda sezione, l'artista riesce ad aggiungere qualcosa di nuovo alla fotografia, con l'idea di auto-rappresentazione; impiega diverse ed elaborate modalità per collocare sé stessa al limite tra il visibile e l'invisibile, il riconoscibile e l'irriconoscibile. I suoi lineamenti sono sfocati, qualcosa si interpone davanti al suo volto, si apre su un fuori campo o si trasforma davanti ai nostri occhi. Il suo volto ci sfugge ma non la certezza della sua presenza nel momento in cui l'immagine viene catturata. Ogni fotografia è di per sé un atto di resistenza alla sua invisibilità.Infine, la sezione dedicata a LO SPECCHIO, un oggetto che appare spesso nelle immagini di Vivian Maier. È frammentato o posto di fronte a un altro specchio oppure posizionato in modo tale che il suo viso sia proiettato su altri specchi, in una cascata infinita. È lo strumento attraverso il quale l'artista affronta il proprio sguardo.La mostra celebra non solo il talento di una grande artista, ma invita anche il pubblico a riflettere sulla bellezza della quotidianità e sull'arte di cogliere l'effimero. È a disposizione di tutti i visitatori una utilissima audioguida che accompagna il percorso espositivo.La straordinaria mostra, curata da Anne Morin con Alberto Rossetti, è promossa dal Comune di Riccione e organizzata da Civita Mostre e Musei in collaborazione con diChroma photography e Rjma Progetti Culturali.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Judy's artistic journey began in a family of artistically talented people who chose conventional careers in healthcare and education. In love and faith her parents took a risk by supporting her decision to study arts at NYU. However, she still followed a more practical career path. She studied English literature and taught high school English, worked in HR, and then transitioned to raising two boys at home. In our interview you'll hear Judy's gratitude and appreciation for the years she spent full time with her sons at home. Looking back she knows how much she grew as a photographer because she captured the same subjects in the same locations ad infinitum. For the better part of 8 years she completed project 365 challenges (that's right, a photo every single day!) Judy has this amazing way of capturing people in their city surroundings, preserving fleeting moments of everyday life. She finds hidden beauty in the mundane and believes that a good photo is like a tiny miracle. Tune in to hear why Judy describes her work in the same way that Diane Arbus says photography is like “tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing oreo cookies.” Street photography invokes awe and wonder for Judy. It's a fulfilling process. It's cultural anthropology. You're not going to want to miss this episode! When careful observation and a camera lens collide, you get Judy Krasinski.

Filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos first emerged as part the so-called ‘weird wave' of Greek cinema, and is known for unsettling themes and absurdist humour of his films. He made his mark internationally in 2009 with Dogtooth, which won a Cannes film festival prize and was nominated for an Oscar. Shifting into English language cinema with The Lobster, starring Colin Farrell and Olivia Colman, he continued to win awards and acclaim with The Killing Of A Sacred Deer and his historical comedy drama The Favourite. His most recent film Poor Things, starring Emma Stone, has been nominated for eleven Academy awards, including best film and best director.Yorgos Lanthimos tells John Wilson about his upbringing in Athens, the son of a professional basketball player who was part of the Greek national team, and how, after graduating from film school, he began making commercials and pop videos. He reveals why the work of the American photographer Diane Arbus, renowned for the underlying psychological tension of her portraits, was a major inspiration on the mood of his films. He also cites the influences of the German choreographer Pina Bausch on visual elements in his films, including dance routines seen in The Favourite and Poor Things. The plays of the British writer Sarah Kane, including Blasted and Crave, were also influential on the tone of his darkly humorous films. Producer: Edwina PitmanDiane Arbus' quote is from the documentary film Going Where I've Never Been: The Photography of Diane Arbus (1972), voiced by Mariclare Costello.

THIS WEEK on the GWA Podcast, @katy.hessel interviews is one of the world's most influential artists: Barbara Kruger. Hailed for her distinctive poster-style language, Kruger merges text and image to bring attention to urgent political concerns. Bold, loud and readily available, her tabloid-esque works confront everyday issues. And, evocative of advertising, have the ability to bring meaning to often meaningless signage.  Born in Newark, NJ, and educated at Syracuse then Parsons, where she was taught by the late great Diane Arbus, Kruger began as an art director for Condé Nast, where she shaped her visual language. As she has said, “I had the luxury of working with the best technology ... I became attached to sans serif type, especially Futura and Helvetica, which I chose because they could really cut through the grease.” Fast forward to the 1970s and 80s – a highly political moment in America: especially for the control over one's body – and Kruger is culminating text/images that speak to Laura Mulvey's landmark 1975 essay on the male gaze, “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema", and that protest anti abortion laws. Her work defined a new type of art that directly addressed power and control, championing the rights we should have over our bodies, life and world.  Today, she is still at the forefront with her work – immersive and on the wall – that feels familiar due to its evocation of the machine we know as capitalism, that both drives us and that we drive. For those lucky enough to be in London, Kruger is very excitingly having her first institutional show in London in over 20 years, at Serpentine Galleries: Thinking of You. I Mean Me. I Mean You.

I couldn't be more excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is one of the most renowned writers, curators, critics, and cultural commentators in the world right now… Hilton Als! A Pulitzer prize winner, a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the theatre critic at the New Yorker, where he has been writing since 1994, Als is also the author of numerous books – from White Girls (a collection of 13 literary essays, exploring race, gender, interpersonal relationships) to more recently, My Pinup, an intimate study on his friendship with Prince. He is a teaching professor at Berkeley, and has held previous posts at Columbia, Yale, and more. Als has been one of my favourite writers, and curators, on art since I can remember. He writes in a manner that is intimate, with emotion and rigour, infusing it with stories from his upbringing in Crown Heights in Brooklyn to ones with more complex family dynamics. And there is a humanity at the centre of it: whether it's his ability to make us see artists as people – with their struggles, desires, needs and complexities – or his belief that we can all be artists too. Often tracing the city of New York through images and words, he unearths stories that were often cast out from mainstream institutions but feel so pertinent for the world today. From Alice Neel to Diane Arbus, whose work and subject he treats with such empathy, not only can he transport us to the exact street where Arbus took that picture, or to Neel's 108th street apartment, but writes so acutely on the mediums they used. On photography vs painting he has said: The former takes life as it comes, in an instant, but can be described as a series of selective moments. Painting, on the other hand, has time on its side, the better to know, delve, and express what it's like for two people to sit in a room, observing one another while talking or not talking about the world. And it is the latter that I still remember experiencing, being a gallery assistant in my early 20s at Victoria Miro, at the time of one of his many brilliant curated exhibitions – Alice Neel, Uptown – when I saw the whole world walk in, recognise themselves and feel seen and celebrated – which, I think, is the best outcome an exhibition can have… In this episode we discuss the power of language and the importance of sharing it; Hilton's introductions to art; his early days as a photo-editor that informed him as a curator; and his takes on Diane Arbus and Alice Neel.

Max Pam is an Australian photographer born in 1949 in suburban Melbourne, which as a teenager he found to be grim, oppressive and culturally isolated. He found refuge in the counter-culture of surfing and the imagery of National Geographic and Surfer Magazine and became determined to travel overseas.Max left Australia at 20, after accepting a job as a photographer assisting an astrophysicist. Together, the pair drove a VW Beetle from Calcutta to London. This adventure proved inspirational, and travel has remained a crucial and continuous link to his creative and personal development. As Gary Dufour noted in his essay in Indian Ocean Journals (Steidl, 2000): “Each photograph is shaped by incidents experienced as a traveller. His photographs extend upon the tradition of the gazetteer; each photograph a record of an experience, a personal account of an encounter somewhere in the world. Each glimpse is part of an unfolding story rather than simply a record of a place observed. While travel underscores his production Pam's photographs are not the accidental evidence of a tourist.”Max's work takes the viewer on compelling journeys around the globe, recording observations with an often surrealist intensity, matching the heightened sensory awareness of foreign travel. The work frequently implies an interior, psychic journey, corresponding with the physical journey of travel. His work in Asian counties is well represented in publications as are his travels in Europe, Australia, and the Indian Ocean Rim cultures including India, Pakistan, Myanmar, Yemen, The Republic of Tanzania, Mauritius, Madagascar, the Cocos and Christmas Islands. The images leave the viewer, as Tim Winton said in Going East (Marval 1992), “grateful for having been taken so mysteriously by surprise and so far and sweetly abroad.”Max's first survey show was held at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in 1986, and was followed by a mid-career retrospective at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1991. He was also the subject of a major exhibition at the Comptoir de la Photographie, Paris in 1990, which covered the work of three decades. He has published several highly acclaimed photographic monographs and 'carnets de voyage', including Going East: Twenty Years of Asian Photography (1992), Max Pam (1999), Ethiopia (1999) and Indian Ocean Journals (2000). Going East won Europe's major photo book award the Grand Prix du Livre Photographique in 1992. In the same year Max held his largest solo show to date at the Sogo Nara Museum of Art, Nara. He has published work in the leading international journals and is represented in major public and private collections in Australia, Great Britain, France and Japan.In episode 217 Max discusses, among other things:How he adopted the visual diary as his photographic approach.The influence of Diane Arbus.Why he chose such a specific period of his life to explore in his new memoir.How Arbus inspired him to shoot 6x6.How surfing in Australia introduced him travelling.How he ended up in India and why it fascinates him.The magic of film vs. digital.Working with book designers… or not.The time he failed to get into Magnum Photos.Surviving financially, teaching, and the importance of ‘marrying up'.Travel and family.Returning to Australia in a poor mental state, post typhoid.His wife's Alzheimer's and eventual death.Referenced:Philip Jones-GriffithDon McCullenLarry BurrowsDavid BaileyDiane ArbusEdward WestonTina ModottiRoger BallenGeorge OrwellBernard PlossuRamon PezSarah MoonOne Flew Over The Cuckoos NestPeter Beard Website | Instagram“I'm a very curious person and ultimately having the camera amplifies that curiosity in a really profound way. And it also gives you carte blanche to stick your head into areas where normally you'd think ‘ah, it's a bit dodgy, maybe not, I could get my head cut off it I stuck it in the hole…' But often then you think, ‘well come on man, you've got a camera there, isn't this part of your self image?' And so it's like this ticket to ride on something that is actually quite dangerous.”

In this episode, Antonio revisits his 2016-2017 street photography and discusses the evolution of his perspective, while Ward stresses the importance of understanding an artist's context. As Antonio prepares for an exhibit at the Blue Star Parlor in Brooklyn, recounting his innovative plans to use foam spacers and adhesive strips to display prints on brick walls. The duo also deliberates over exhibition details, with insights from colleague Mark Reierson enhancing the narrative flow of Antonio's showcase. Ward reflects on a poignant Diane Arbus exhibit he attended, particularly moved by the "Untitled" series that resonated with his experiences with developmentally challenged children. Antonio and Ward explore the contemporary relevance of Arbus' evocative imagery, pondering its resonance with today's youth amidst the deluge of intense visuals they face daily. The conversation touches on the emotional toll art can exert on its creators, referencing Arbus' tragic demise and the lingering impact on other artists. With Arbus' extensive showcase set to tour Canada, both express a keen anticipation for its potential U.S. journey.   Links: Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

**Trigger warnings for mentions of suicide, incest and child sexual abuse** Well guess what? Emma gave her disease to Sarah Jane and now she is sick! Too much kissing! So this week we have decided to give you a little taste of the Patreon with our section MMIcons where the three of us pick a public figure whom we admire. On this episode Emma talks about photographer Diane Arbus. Diane was a phenomenal talent but her life was tragically cut short at the age of 48 We will be back to normal next week and we apologise for the fact that we cannot stop getting bloody sick!

In episode 265 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed reflecting on the dangers of photography becoming too introspective, the importance of recognising when you hit a ceiling and the realities of working as a commissioned photographer. Plus this week, photographer Tom Bowden takes on the challenge of supplying Grant with an audio file no longer than 5 minutes in length in which he answer's the question ‘What Does Photography Mean to You?' Tom Bowden is an American Photographer recognised internationally for his street portrait work.  Influenced early in life by the work of Diane Arbus, Mary Ellen Mark and Philip-Lorca diCorcia, his street portraits are often accompanied by the stories of the people he meets and works with on the streets. When he was 15, he saw the Diane Arbus image, Child with Toy Hand Grenade in a High School Library Book. After that, he was obsessed. Bowden's work as a photographer and producer have taken him around the world and his work has been collected in two books Love Street and Encounters, Portraits of Americans. His work has been published in The Guardian, FotoMagazin, L'Oeil de la Photographie amongst many other publications.  www.tbowphoto.com Dr. Grant Scott is the founder/curator of United Nations of Photography, a Senior Lecturer and Subject Co-ordinator: Photography at Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, a working photographer, documentary filmmaker, BBC Radio contributor and the author of Professional Photography: The New Global Landscape Explained (Routledge 2014), The Essential Student Guide to Professional Photography (Routledge 2015), New Ways of Seeing: The Democratic Language of Photography (Routledge 2019). His film Do Not Bend: The Photographic Life of Bill Jay was first screened in 2018 www.donotbendfilm.com.

In this week's podcast, I discuss how what you photograph and how you see the world will impact your approach using some of these new generative tools. The post Generative AI, Diane Arbus and other musings on the creation of images appeared first on Daniel j Gregory Photography.

Over the past 50 or so years, Marilyn Minter has been on a roving exploration of feminist, sex-positive thinking. In her art-making, she harnesses the power of sexual imagery—a realm long controlled by men—and presents it through the lens of female desire. Among her most acclaimed works are her “Bathers” series, which reimagines classic female bathers; her “Bush” series, originally a Playboy commission; and a group of new portraits, currently on view at the New York gallery LGDR (through June 3), featuring impactful cultural figures she admires, such as Roxane Gay, Gloria Steinem, Lizzo, and Monica Lewinsky. On the episode, Minter talks about the unrealistic societal and body-image standards young women continue to face, the importance of embracing complexity and multiplicity in artwork, and the hope she has in the next generation to fight social injustice.Special thanks to our Season 7 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes: [00:49] Marilyn Minter[04:02] Bettie Page[06:10] Susie Bright[24:31]  “The Joys (and Challenges) of Sex After 70”[27:31] HBO's The Deuce[33:37] Pamela Anderson for Parkett[40:33] LGDR[46:30] Minter's “Coral Ridge Towers” Series[52:19] Linda Yablonsky[53:23] Diane Arbus[55:24] James Harithas[56:35] Sylvia Mangold[56:59] Kenneth Snelson[58:16] Christof Kohlhöfer[01:04:15] Neville Wakefield[01:07:32] Planned Parenthood[01:07:45] ADLAR AR App

THIS WEEK on the GWA Podcast, I interview the renowned painter, photographer and filmmaker, Marylin Minter!  A legend on the New York art scene for over 50 years, Marylin Minter is a pioneer of electrically graphic, photorealist paintings which take the form of some of the most criticised elements of culture – from high fashion to female desire – and explore how advertising and the the media have set the stereotypes of beauty, behaviour and sexuality… Cropping her images, and zooming in on highly charged – at time erotic – images, Minter's brightly saturated paintings of a tongue or high-heel are highly ambiguous in both subject and aesthetic value. From the contradictory questions around, is it beautiful? Is it abject, is it pretty or is it dirty? The work almost forms into an abstraction – with acidic tones and hazy finishes – making it unclear as to whether we are looking at a photograph or painting… Minter doesn't stop at traditional art: she has taken to the mainstream and made works to appear on Times Square billboards or the backdrop of a Madonna concert. She is invested in all forms of culture, assessing wherever art has become disregarded and interpreted as low culture, opening up the question even wider…  Born in Louisiana, Minter Grew up in and attended university in Florida, and it was when studying when she embarked on her first well known photographic series of her mother – swept up in the impossible fantasy of glamour – that she was praised by the late Diane Arbus, who at the time was a visiting tutor.  In the 70s, Minter moved to NYC. Settling in the East Village scene, she challenged how both popular media and pop art treated women as unrealistic – as subjects of comparison rather than real people, in subjects often considered “debased”. She has since exhibited across the globe, and this Spring will open a new exhibition at LGDR featuring portraits of the likes of Lizzo to Lady Gaga, Gloria Steinem to Monica Lewinsky. And I can't wait to find out more.  Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Mikaela Carmichael Artwork by @thisisaliceskinner Music by Ben Wetherfield https://www.thegreatwomenartists.com/ THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY OCULA: https://ocula.com/

THIS WEEK on the GWA Podcast, we interview author, artist, writer, and academic, Pamela L Bannos on the very private yet supremely inquisitive street photographer who spent her days working as a nanny, VIVIAN MAIER!! Maier (1926–2009) was street photographer who has been compared to the likes of Helen Levitt or Diane Arbus. But here's the thing: despite taking pictures incessantly and amassing more than 100,000 negatives, she never published or exhibited her work in her lifetime. This is one of the most fascinating stories in art history. Maier's photographs reveal a woman who had empathy for her subjects – from children to the elderly – and who were often unaware of her presence. She famously worked with a Rolliflex camera which she would use for several decades, allowing for her signature square format, but which didn't need to be brought up to one's eye – enhancing even further how she could catch her subjects off guard. When asked about her occupation by a man she once knew, she'd say “I'm sort of a spy… I'm the mystery woman.” Tracing the people, politics, and landscape of mid to late 20th century North America, Maier's extensive oeuvre recorded life as it passed her by. And here's the thing, because she never exhibited or published her work during her lifetime, she was predominantly known for her primary role as a nanny to children in the Chicago area. So much remains to be missing, which is why I can't wait to speak to Pamela, who has looked at tens of thousands of these images; traced Maier's footsteps from the US to France, and delved into the archive in search of everything we might know about the photographer. Pamela Bannos is a professor at Northwestern University, and the author of Vivian Maier: A Photographer's Life and Afterlife, 2017: http://vivianmaierproject.com/.

If you're all about the "Furry" lifestyle, this podcast is for you! We don't talk about it at all, but we want listeners dammit! Join us this week as we review "Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus".

Today, we're joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and critic Hilton Als! To begin, we unpack his approach to writing profiles (5:50), inspired by the words of photographer Diane Arbus (6:10), and how he captured Prince in a new, two-part memoir entitled My Pinup (7:55). Then, Als reflects on his upbringing in Brownsville, Brooklyn (10:25), a timely passage from his 2020 essay "Homecoming" (14:40), and formative works by writers Adrienne Kennedy (20:58) and the late Joan Didion (27:05). On the back-half, we discuss the interplay of memory and writing (36:38), Hilton's writing routine (40:55), his sources of hope today (44:30), and to close, a dialogue from Jean Rhys' unfinished autobiography Smile Please (48:25).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recordamos los tiempos de Diane Arbus, quien se encargó de mostrarle al mundo la cultura “freak” de los años 60. Pensamos también en Joshua Hoffine, a quien muchos conocen como el mayor exponente de la fotografía escalofriante. ¿Qué comparten quienes exploran el lado oscuro de las artes? ¿Qué les inspira terror y cómo lo transmiten?

Welcome back Katrina Kemp! Katrina is an actor, producer, activist, DJ, and intuitive from LA. Katrina not only shares her own coming-of-age story as a person with pseudoachondroplasia but also speaks to the relatively new project of people with Dwarfism collecting their own history, free from the gaze of average-height people. She explains how people with dwarfism were enslaved for centuries and how being forced to labor as circus performers still inform how they're treated in the modern movie industry (and the world at large) today. Katrina traces the relationship between erasure and exploitation in media and reflects on how vital it was for her to find representation and community online growing up. “We find each other deep, deep in the internet. But other people are finding us too,” Katrina says. This sets the stage for our discussion of “Dear Average Height People,” a film Katrina is producing by director Aubrey Smalls. As far as Aubrey and Katrina know, this is the very first documentary comedy special to be directed and produced by people with Dwarfism. In fact, they haven't been able to find ANY films, shows, or specials created by people with Dwarfism and urgently want that to change. The film is about dwarfism, disability hate groups, agency, and freedom. It portrays a global network of people with dwarfism who may live far away from each other, but who live in deep solidarity. It illustrates the way obsessive hate groups target and harass people with Dwarfism online, as well as how platforms like Youtube encourage violence and monetize torment.  It also depicts how talented, beautiful, funny, and diverse the Dwarfism community is around the world. Listen to hear Katrina's many insights about beauty, bodies, surveillance, her bone to pick with Stephen Spielberg, Britney Spears, L'Express, Diane Arbus, inhalants, and more… “People experience epiphanies with me every day… every hour if I allowed it,” Katrina says. Follow Katrina on IG, Twitter, Twitch, and Youtube.

Director Reid Davenport joins Mike to discuss his new documentary, “I Didn't See You There.”  As the title intimates, this is a film about seeing and being seen.  Reid confronts not only the legacy of P.T. Barnum–which he traces all the way to photographer Diane Arbus–but what he sees as the possibility of his own participation in the “freak show”, one which he notes doesn't necessarily require a tent!  He even questions the motivations of what he calls the “Neoliberal” documentary audience: what compels them to watch, to even pat themselves on the back?   Reid and Mike talk about both the pleasures as well as the challenges of navigating Oakland's urban landscape in a wheelchair.  Reid explains how his new camera allowed him to shoot his own film, as well as facilitated showing the world from what will be to many a wholly new perspective.  And he describes a variety of purgatories that he experiences:  with his family, but not mobile; mobile, but without them.    “I Didn't See You There” will be showing on PBS's POV starting January 9th.   Follow: @topdocspod on instagram and twitter  @reidjdavenport on instagram and @ReidDavenport on twitter @idntseeyoutherefilm on instagram and @IDidntSeeUFilm on twitter   Hidden Gem:  Goodbye CP   The Presenting Sponsor of “Top Docs” is Netflix.
