Podcasts about eiteljorg museum

I had Kathryn Haigh on the podcast today and she is the President and CEO of the Eiteljorg Museum, which is one of my favorite museums in North America. The reason being, for one thing, it's a beautiful building inspired by Ancestral Puebloan architecture. It was founded by Harrison Eiteljorg in 1989 and he put this magnificent collection of Western and Native Art together.I'm happy to say the museum has continued Harrison's mission. It's a large museum  on seven acres in Indianapolis, and they have an incredible Indian market every year in June. They also have an event called Quest for the West, which is a Western fine art show that takes place in September of every year. I've gone to those events and they're terrific.And Katie's story, of course, is fascinating. She's a creative and intellectual person who grew up in Cincinnati, and was propelled into the museum world at an early age. She worked her way up the ranks at the Cincinnati Art Museum, followed by the Fine Arts Museum in Indianapolis, and now she runs the Eiteljorg. So she's quite experienced to say the least.Needless to say, the Eiteljorg is definitely a bucket list museum. To get to speak with the person in charge of such an institution and to really understand how their operation works, and what they're trying to accomplish... It was excellent. There's just some really amazing things in the works over there.So I found it fascinating. Just understanding the path of a museum director and what one does with that level of responsibility. I've spoken to many people in positions of leadership in the museum word but this interview was very unique. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. This is Kathryn Haigh on episode 341 of the Art Dealer Diaries Podcast.

Kathryn Haigh entered the University of Cincinnati with designs on a career in fashion. But an art history class would change all that and ignite her passion for museums. In this episode, the first female CEO of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art talks about career, her vision for the museum and what she views as a cultural transformation in Indy.

Avis Charley (Spirit Lake Dakota / Diné) is a visual artist born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She earned her BFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Charley is a ledger artist and figurative painter chronicling the evolving Native American identity from pre-reservation period to the present day, from ancestral homelands to the contemporary urban context. Ledger art was Charley's first art form, as she values bringing a woman's perspective into a male-dominated art form. In time, Charley transitioned to oil paintings, centering Indigenous women within modern settings, reflecting the vibrancy of her people's culture. She creates work for future generations as she captures recent stories and experiences. Charley's work is in the permanent collections of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, Minneapolis Institute of Art, and Museum of Contemporary Native American Art.

In this episode I had the honor to sit down with artist Jeffrey Gibson joined by curator and co-editor of An Indigenous Present, Jenelle Porter. We were given space at SITE Santa Fe in Director Louis Grachos office to have a long and generative conversation while we celebrated the book's launch over Indian Market weekend. We talk about Jeff's practice and his journey to this moment and the Artist shares the vulnerable, complicated, difficult and joyous path of choosing to be an Artist, offering reflection from what he has learned along the way, understanding how the practice and studio has evolved in the 20 some years of being a working Artist. We then dive in with both Jeff and Jenelle to speak on Jeff's thought process behind An Indigenous Present, learning about the years of care and intention behind the project, which is, as Jeff reflects, an “Artist book about Artists”. We round out our 2 plus hour chat with the excitement and work that has come with Jeffrey being named the artist to represent the U.S. at the 60th Venice Biennale. As we end our chat, both Jeff and Jenelle share important and practical insight on how to navigate the art worlds and art markets and Jeffrey reminds us all that “Artists do have the power to set precedence in institutions”. Featured song: SMOKE RINGS SHIMMERS ENDLESS BLUR by Laura Ortman, 2023 Broken Boxes introduction song by India Sky More about the publication An Indigenous Present: https://www.artbook.com/9781636811024.html More about the Artist Jeffrey Gibson Jeffrey Gibson's work fuses his Choctaw-Cherokee heritage and experience of living in Europe, Asia and the USA with references that span club culture, queer theory, fashion, politics, literature and art history. The artist's multi-faceted practice incorporates painting, performance, sculpture, textiles and video, characterised by vibrant colour and pattern. Gibson was born in 1972, Colorado, USA and he currently lives and works in Hudson Valley, New York. The artist combines intricate indigenous artisanal handcraft – such as beadwork, leatherwork and quilting – with narratives of contemporary resistance in protest slogans and song lyrics. This “blend of confrontation and pageantry” is reinforced by what Felicia Feaster describes as a “sense of movement and performance as if these objects ... are costumes waiting for a dancer to inhabit them.” The artist harnesses the power of such materials and techniques to activate overlooked narratives, while embracing the presence of historically marginalised identities. Gibson explains: “I am drawn to these materials because they acknowledge the global world. Historically, beads often came from Italy, the Czech Republic or Poland, and contemporary beads can also come from India, China and Japan. Jingles originated as the lids of tobacco and snuff tins, turned and used to adorn dresses, but now they are commercially made in places such as Taiwan. Metal studs also have trade references and originally may have come from the Spanish, but also have modern references to punk and DIY culture. It's a continual mash-up.” Acknowledging music as a key element in his experience of life as an artist, pop music became one of the primary points of reference in Gibson's practice: musicians became his elders and lyrics became his mantras. Recent paintings synthesise geometric patterns inspired by indigenous American artefacts with the lyrics and psychedelic palette of disco music. Solo exhibitions include ‘THE SPIRITS ARE LAUGHING', Aspen Art Museum, Colorado (2022); ‘This Burning World', Institute of Contemporary Art, San Francisco, California (2022); ‘The Body Electric', SITE Santa Fe, New Mexico (2022) and Frist Art Museum, Nashville (2023); ‘INFINITE INDIGENOUS QUEER LOVE', deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts (2021); ‘To Feel Myself Beloved on the Earth', Benenson Center, Art Omi, Ghent, New York (2021); ‘When Fire is Applied to a Stone It Cracks', Brooklyn Art Museum, Brooklyn, New York (2020); ‘The Anthropophagic Effect', New Museum, New York City, New York (2019); ‘Like a Hammer', Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, Madison, Wisconsin (2019); Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, Washington (2019); Mississippi Museum of Art, Jackson, Mississippi (2019); Denver Art Museum, Denver, Colorado (2018); ‘This Is the Day', Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, Texas (2019); Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art, Clinton, New York (2018) and ‘Love Song', Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Massachusetts (2013). For the Toronto Biennial 2022, Gibson presented an evolving installation featuring fifteen moveable stages at Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Other recent group exhibitions include ‘Dreamhome', Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia (2022); ‘Crafting America', Crystal Bridges, Bentonville, Arkansas (2021); ‘Monuments Now', Socrates Sculpture Park, Queens, New York (2020); ‘Duro Olowu: Seeing Chicago', Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Illinois (2020) and The Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City, New York (2019).

Born in Oklahoma, Anita Fields is a contemporary Native American multi-disciplinary artist of Osage heritage. She is known for her works which combine clay and textile with Osage knowledge systems. Fields explores the intricacies of cultural influences at the intersections of balance and chaos found within our existence, explaining that “The power of transformation is realized by creating various forms of clothing, coverings, landscapes, and figures. The works become indicators of how we understand our surroundings and visualize our place within the world.” In this way, the early Osage concepts of duality, such as earth and sky, male and female, are represented throughout her work. Her sculptures have been featured in many solo and group exhibitions, including the 2020-2021 Weaving History Into Art; The Enduring Legacy of Shan Goshorn, Gilcrease Museum, Form and Relation: Contemporary Native Ceramics, Hood Museum, Dartmouth College, the 2018-2020 Hearts of Our People, Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the 2018 Art for A New Understanding: Native Voices, 1950's to Now at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Her work was also included Who Stole the Teepee? at the National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian, New York, and the 1997 Legacy of Generations: Pottery by American Indian Women at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington DC., Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Arkansas. Her work can be found in several collections, such as the Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian, the Museum of Art and Design, New York City, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and the Heard Museum, Arizona. Fields was a 2017-2019 fellow with the Kaiser Foundation Tulsa Artist Fellowship program and is currently a 2020-2023 Tulsa Artist Fellowship Integrated Arts Grant awardee. Fields was the invited artist for the 2021 Eiteljorg Museum of Contemporary Art Fellowship. Fields was recently named a 2021 National Endowment of the Arts Heritage Fellow and a 2021 Anonymous Was A Woman award. In 2022 she received a Francis J Greenburger award.

Catching up on Sunday evening. Recounting a recent visit to Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis.

I had Howard Post on the podcast today. We're talking about his new show "From Above" which opens on October 22nd  here at Medicine Man Gallery in Tucson and It'll run through the first couple of weeks in November. Howard is just such an interesting guy. I love his work and his dedication to being an artist. I've represented him for 25 years and he has an amazing story. I mean he's a real rodeo guy. Howard was all-around rodeo champion in high school, he competed in college and even went on to compete on the pro circuit. The thing is, he always wanted to be an artist. It wasn't really seen as something you do if you are in the rodeo world, and since his dad owned a feed store here in Tucson there wasn't a great deal of support behind Howard making it as a painter.So, this podcast is just an interesting look back at Howard's life, our relationship over the last 25 years, as well as his new show "From Above" which is all about Howard's take on the West from the signature aerial perspective that he's known for. It's a really interesting body of work that he's done for us and I can't wait for the opening on October 22, 2022.Again, he's an interesting guy and I really enjoy having Howard as both an artist I represent and a friend.

I had Roger Eiteljorg on the podcast today. I've known Roger for a very long time and this is a unique podcast because we spoke not only about Roger and his background but also about his father. You see, Roger's dad was Harrison Eiteljorg, an American philanthropist and businessman who founded the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis. It's an amazingly difficult thing to start a museum and actually have it function let alone succeed for an extended period of time. After 3 decades the Eiteljorg Museum has earned its spot among the premier Western/Native American art museums east of the Mississippi. Throughout the podcast, you get a sense of what it's like to grow up with a father who had the ambitions that Harrison Eiteljorg had and how that would impact someone like Roger.Roger lives in Taos these days and he's involved in the Taos Art Museum as well. This is a very fun and interesting podcast, Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 208 with Roger Eiteljorg.

Charlie Garcia, president of C Garcia and Associates, has learned that every project management problem really needs a people-focused solution. He grew up in the construction industry and learned early on to take responsibility for what's broken AND what's going right. In this episode, you'll hear Charlie describe a problem completely caused by other people but making him look bad. Like losing millions of dollars bad. He lost a lot of sleep fixing this hot mess, but didn't waste a second trying to blame others. He simply got to work. During this episode listen to Charlie tell how he solved an expensive problem by working with people, not against them. Plus many more insights like these: If you're growing and leading, hot messes are unavoidable If you can't figure out what's going on, go watch the problem in action A plan isn't the only thing you need to be successful Don't circumvent the process; running your ideas up the chain of command is essential Take responsibility for solving problems...not fixing people. Being stuck in emotion stops you solving problems The curse of the overachiever: you think you're failing; others think you're a rock star There is great wisdom in a multitude of experiences. You don't need others' permission to lead. Success comes from taking risks. Instead of saying, "What don't I have?" Ask, "What do I have? To be successful, be more selfish. Selfishness means taking the responsibility AND the rewards. Don't be Teflon Pete. What overachievers get wrong about outpacing other people If you have a hard time asking for help, at least seek counsel Simple solutions have big impact Powerful self coaching questions you can use to feel successful About Charlie Garcia Charlie J. Garcia is the owner and President of C Garcia Associates consulting firm and has won numerous awards including the 1994 Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst and Young, and Small Businessman of the Year in 2000 by the SBA. He has proudly called Indianapolis his home since the late 1980s. Born in San Francisco, California, Garcia attended the College of San Mateo, and graduated from the Way College of Biblical Research. Garcia attended Butler University, and has also graduated from Dartmouth University, and University of California, Los Angeles Executive Programs. Charlie has served the business and nonprofit community extensively on boards such as Butler University, Bank One (Indiana) Federal Reserve Bank, the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, Central Indiana Corporate Partnership, Indiana Progress Industry Committee, Crossroads of America Boy Scouts, and the Challenge School Academy Charter School. Garcia's greatest contributions in many ways are his efforts to mentor aspiring entrepreneurs. The mentoring program he developed has been adopted by the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce to assist minority and women-owned businesses to grow at rates of 20 to 60 percent. Lead Kick Ass Meetings: Complimentary Resource Meetings are a really expensive use of your time. It only makes sense that they need to be more productive and valuable. Instead of running meetings that could have been an email, lead powerful meetings that have purpose, participation, and problem solving.

Donald Lipski shares the story behind the siting and design of The Tent. The sculptor was chosen by the 500 Festival’s 50th Anniversary Artist Selection Committee, which was organized by the 500 Festival, with support from the Arts Council of Indianapolis and is comprised of representatives from the 500 Festival, the 500 Festival Foundation as well as representatives from the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art, Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, Herron School of Art and Design, Expo Design and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Tent is a four story structure, two torqued panels of stainless steel tubing, holding nearly 500 panels, painted many colors on the outside and polished to a mirror finish on the inside.

I had Josh Elliott on the podcast today and what a fun and interesting individual to interview. I’ve been fortunate enough to join Josh on a couple of painting trips to observe his painting acumen and you can learn so much as an art dealer when you get to actually see what an artist does with their skill set in the field. It helps one understand the process and there is something to be said about comprehending the process. I'm an artist in the sense that I'm a writer and photographer, but I’m not a painter and there's a big difference watching someone like Josh paint. Josh and I talk about his early days and his evolution into the artist he has become, as well as his personal philosophy on painting from telephone poles and windmills to the rationale to omit them entirely. We go a little more in-depth about the artwork than we usually do with painters in this episode as I found his process so interesting. I’m just so intrigued by Josh's work as not only a gallery owner that represents him but as a collector of his work having upwards of 12 or so Josh Elliotts in my personal collection. I admire Josh, not only as an artist - but also as a person and after watching this podcast I think you'll understand why.

Kathleen Wall is a vibrant individual and well known Jemez potter who creates her figurine pots at Jemez New Mexico. She does wonderful figurines and masks, some of them being very large pieces. Kathleen explains her journey as a potter and how she got to where she is today and what it took to get there. It's a long hard road to be a potter especially when you're trying to do things that are unique and less traditional pueblo pottery, but Kathleen has triumphed. In fact, Kathleen was recently awarded the Living Treasure Award for New Mexico at MIAC (The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture) and was supposed to have a one-person show for this great honor. Unfortunately, it opened in April of 2020. Clearly, with all that's been going on with COVID-19, the show has been put off through 2021. Pandemic aside, Kathleen has mastered her art and I think anyone that enjoys raw passion and creativity will love Kathleen Wall.

William (Will) Wilson is a Diné photographer who spent his formative years living in the Navajo Nation. In 2007, Wilson won the Native American Fine Art Fellowship from the Eiteljorg Museum, and in 2010 was awarded a prestigious grant from the Joan Mitchell Foundation. Wilson created The Critical Indigenous Exchange because he was impatient with the way that American culture remains enamored with photographer Edward S. Curtis’s portraits. For many people even today, Native people remain frozen in time in the Curtis photos. Wilson is resuming the documentary mission of Curtis from the standpoint of a 21st century indigenous photographer, building a contemporary vision of Native North America.

Bay Native Circle showcases the work of renown artist, Michael Horse. He is of Yaqui, Mescalero Apache, Zuni, European and Hispanic descent, was born in a place he calls “near Tucson”. He comes from an artistically talented family of jewelers, potters and painters. A true modern day renaissance man, Michael is a jeweler, actor, stunt man, sculptor, painter and activist. As an actor, he has appeared in many movies and on television, including Twin Peaks, Passenger 57, Lakota Woman, and the CBC Canadian series, North of 60. His works of art have been shown in galleries throughout the world, and are currently available at the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles, the Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles, the Eiteljorg Museum in Indiana, Kiva Fine Art Gallery in Santa Fe, and Gathering Tribes Gallery in Berkeley, California. “I go back and forth in my work, from the traditional to the contemporary, and I learn on this journey how the both are connected. One of the most rewarding aspects of being a jeweler is when I meet someone for the first time who owns a piece of my art, and they tell me how much they enjoy it and how many compliments they receive when they wear it. To me, that is a feeling like no other.” Having been a jeweler for over 30 years, he has seen many innovations in traditional Native art. He is very proud of the paths that Native art have taken, as well as the path that it is moving toward with younger artists. He himself was inspired by some of his peers, including Charles Loloma and Alan Houser, and hopes that some day younger people might learn from and be inspired by some of his work. He says that, “If somebody asked me how I would like to end my career, I would say I would like it to end with inspiring younger artists. I'm very interested in our youth. In the last few years, I've become involved with working with inner city and rural native youth, hoping that I might be able to steer them toward a more positive and creative path.” The post Bay Native Circle – May 7, 2008 appeared first on KPFA.
