Podcasts about fairey

Shepard Fairey is not just an artist; he's a cultural force, a visual historian, and an unyielding advocate for social justice. Best known for his iconic "OBEY" campaign and the "Hope" poster that became synonymous with Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, Fairey's work transcends the boundaries of traditional art. It occupies the intersection of pop culture, politics, and activism, challenging viewers to think critically about the world around them. In this exclusive interview, Shepard delves into his creative process, the role of art in preserving democracy, and how his deeply-held values shape every piece he creates. He also shares personal insights into his life, including the pivotal moments that have influenced his evolution as an artist and an advocate. As the world continues to grapple with social, political, and environmental challenges, Shepard Fairey remains a powerful voice for change, using his art as both a mirror and a catalyst for the better future we all strive for.

Maungawhau station, formerly Mt Eden station, closed in July 2020 for reconstruction as part of the City Rail Link. Delays during the COVID-19 lockdowns extended the construction process, and the station is now expected to reopen in early 2024.  Starting on October 14th, Western line trains have been running at reduced frequency to allow for testing at the station, indicating that the station may be almost completed. Trains across the city have also been affected by unplanned disruptions over the past few months, most recently on the Western line with a series of power outages.  For City Counselling this week I asked Councillor Julie Fairey about the timeline on Maungawhau station, the upcoming Te Waihorotiu and Karanga-ā-hape stations, and power outages across the rail network.

Auckland Council's Transport Emissions Reduction Pathway lays out a series of targets for reducing Auckland's transport emissions by almost 65% within the next 6 years.  Some of the goals include cutting car trips from making up 94% of distance travelled around the city to 47%, pump cycle trips up from 1% to 5% and increase bus trips from 3 % to 12%.  Additionally, next week is Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori.  The week is a wider government sponsored initiative intended to promote the use of te reo Māori as well as awareness, education, and public engagement.  For our weekly catch up with Auckland Council, Sofia spoke to Councillor Julie Fairey about both of these topics.

Last week was the annual Local Government New Zealand conference.  Although Auckland Council voted to leave Local Government New Zealand in March last year, notably at the conference, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said he wants councils to “do the basics brilliantly” and not be distracted by “nice-to-haves” and that Cabinet was looking into limiting council expenditure as a result.  Additionally, Auckland Council is currently seeking public input on the future of coastal management in response to the climate crisis.  The Council's Shoreline Adaptation Programme and Plans look at how Council responds to coastal hazards and climate change over the next 100 years. Producer Sofia caught up with Councillor Julie Fairey about both of these topics. 

This week on MissionCTRL, Ramon and the PD Flight Crew are joined by Joshua “Josh” Paiz, a fellow artist, auto enthusiast and founder of JPaiz Studios, for a riveting conversation about cars and his own personal evolution as a muralist. Paiz discovered his interest in art when his mother, a domestic worker, would bring home discarded scrap paper, which he used to create and entertain himself. As he immersed himself in the creative process, a passion started burning within him. Paiz faced the same frustration with the educational system that Sir Ken Robinson described as stifling students through a one-size-fits-all approach instead of nurturing their unique talents and creativity.  Paiz was fortunate to be surrounded by educators who fanned the flames of his passion and a mother who sacrificed by working odd jobs and collecting cans to place him in specialized art classes.  Though he was bullied as a kid, he discovered that his artistic talent gave him street credibility. Josh's path to becoming a full-time freelance artist wasn't without challenges.  Josh's journey mirrors that of Frank Shepard Fairey, the founder of Obey, who also took significant artistic risks along his path. Fairey's bold and unconventional approach to street art challenged societal norms and established him as a pioneering figure in the art world. Like Paiz, Fairey faced obstacles but leveraged his creativity to make a lasting impact.  Tune in to hear how Josh's passion allowed him to travel the world, painting over 60 murals worldwide and counting . . .

The Fairey Battle was conceived during a peace process and born during the turbulence times before war. In its youth, it fought and did its best and thern settled in to a successful second career.

Shepard Fairey was drawn to making art since he was young. A curious mind, a strong work ethic, an inspired creative spirit, a growing compassion for the situations of others, and a deepening understanding of the intricacies of how our world works (and yes, more than a touch of a 'rebel spirit' nurtured by skateboard culture and punk rock) has shaped the work of that young artist into some of the most powerful, most well known, and most consequential art of our time.  Art that matters! Do you know his work? Yes, absolutely you do, although you may not know it, because for Fairey - pronounced as you would the "tooth-_____" (no relation) - the goal has never been acclaim or notoriety. His effort always leans - and more often, strides - toward problem solving, commentary, action, and urging, more often pushing us to think and care about others, to care about democracy, and justice, to care about the growing privilege of some often at the expense of others. Is there more to say?  Yes, of course! Here's what Wikipedia begins with "Frank Shepard Fairey (born February 15, 1970) is an American contemporary artist, activist and founder of OBEY Clothing who emerged from the skateboarding scene. In 1989 he designed the "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" (...OBEY...) sticker campaign while attending the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).""Fairey designed the Barack Obama "Hope" poster for the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign. The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, has described him as one of the best known and most influential street artists. His work is included in the collections at The Smithsonian; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego; the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.; the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond; and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London."But that barely scratches the surface.I had a wonderful conversation with Shepard. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.https://obeygiant.com/https://obeyclothing.com/

Sag mir, wo du stehst: In den vergangenen Monaten ging es viel ums "Haltung zeigen", um klare Bekenntnisse und eindeutige Stellungnahmen. Aber wie passt das zusammen: Bekenntnispflicht und liberale Demokratie? Protest gestalten: Der amerikanische Künstler und Aktivist Shepard Fairey bezieht eindeutig Stellung, unermüdlich prangert er in seinen Werken Missstände an, egal ob Umweltzerstörung, Krieg oder Korruption. Fairey ist ein Künstler mit Mission. Wir sprechen mit ihm über seine Motivation und darüber, wie man Menschen mit Bildern wachrütteln kann. Chamäleon: Der Fotograf Abe Frajndlich ist einer der schillerndsten Prominenten-Fotografen Amerikas. Immer wieder hat er neue Wege gefunden, seine kameraerfahrenen Modelle zu inszenieren, nicht wenige seiner Bilder gelten heute als Ikonen der Porträtfotografie. Wir stellen den 77-jährigen und seine aktuelle Ausstellung in München vor. Und: Ein Nachruf. Günter Brus, einer der radikalsten Vertreter des Wiener Aktionismus, ist gestern im Alter von 85 Jahren in Graz gestorben.

Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer John Desmore, legendary drummer for The Doors, joined me for a discussion about his book THE SEEKERS: Meetings With Remarkable Musicians (and Other Artists): John Densmore, drummer of The Doors and bestselling author, reveals his personal creative journey and spiritual path alongside some of the iconic people he has known.Whether it's the curiosity that blossoms after we listen to our favorite band's newest record, or the sheer admiration we feel after watching a knockout performance or reading a masterpiece, many of us have experienced art so pure - so innovative - that we can't help but wonder afterwards: "How did they do that?" And yet, few of us are in a position to be able to ask those memorable legends where their inspiration comes from and how they translated it into something fresh and new. Fortunately, THE SEEKERS: Meetings With Remarkable Musicians (and Other Artists) is here to offer us a bridge.John Densmore digs deep into his own process and draws upon his access to fellow artists, performers, and writers - including Patti Smith, Lou Reed, Bob Marley, and Robert Bly - in order to explore the origins of creativity itself. Inspired by the classic spiritual memoir, Meetings with Remarkable Men by G.I. Gurdjieff and weaving together anecdotes from the author's personal notebooks and experiences over the past 50 years - from the impact of his artistic mother, to his first impression of Jim Morrison, to meeting the Dalai Lama and Ram Dass - this book takes readers on a rich, thought-provoking, spiritual journey into the soul of the artist."On the back cover of my first book, Riders on the Storm, Oliver Stone called me a "survivor and a seeker." I am still on that road. In fact, we all are, whether it's a freeway or a dirt trail, our experience is the same; we have embarked on a journey of spirit in our human bodies as we proceed down our path on Planet Earth. And music is a candle, lighting the way along the road toward the art of living." -John DensmoreUltimately, the result is not only a look into the hearts and minds of some of the most important artists and iconic people of the past century, but a way for readers to identify and ignite their own creative spark and light their own fire. By understanding creativity's roots, Densmoreultimately introduces us to the realm of everyday inspirations that imbue our lives with meaning.THE SEEKERS is available in hardcover, e-book, and audio formats. The book's cover art is by famed artist Shepard Fairey. "All creative people have inspirations that become part of their DNA," says Fairey. "John Densmore not only acknowledges his inspirations, but beautifully, powerfully, and lovingly celebrates mentors, heroes, and peers who have impacted his life's journey and become part of his DNA. For the cover, I envisioned a tapestry with multiple epic figures whose threads are intertwined with John Densmore himself, the central beating heart and storyteller."

Auckland councillors will decide today whether to sell the council's shares in Auckland Airport. Newstalk ZB's Michael Sergel told Kate Hawkesby Mayor Wayne Brown will be seeing the numbers to sell the council's entire 18-percent stake in the airport. It's still unclear if two councillors, Chris Darby and Julie Fairey, who happens to be married to Michael Wood will be voting, after they had to correct the record on Auckland Airport shareholding. Auckland Council expenditure committee chair Maurice Williamson told Mike Hosking they probably won't be blocked from voting if they want to.

While reading The Tyee back in late January, a story by labour economist, David Fairey (who is also a research associate of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) and Associate Professor of Sociology at UVic, Anelyse Weiler, caught my eye… In “It's 2023. BC Farm Workers Deserve Basic Minimum Wage Guarantees”, the authors reveal how our current piece rate system for agricultural workers is fraught with low wages, exploitation, classism, and racism. I decided to bring the duo on in order to gain a better understanding of the topic and narrative and to share their candid perspectives and insightful solutions. Do enjoy!Mentioned:"It's 2023.

“The big picture doesn't just come from distance; it also comes from time.” -Simon Sinek   Climate change is becoming an increasing concern.  The private sector, individuals as well as state, local and federal governments are seeking to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  As the energy used in all buildings, including homes, is cited as a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, how do these entities get an accurate metric on emissions?Is there a way to use this info to address when energy is used in a home?As well as how much home energy consumption can be reduced? Philip Fairey, Deputy Director at Florida Solar Energy Center, and David Goldstein, Energy Efficiency Advisor at the National Resources Defense Council, join us to provide an update on the RESNET Carbon Index. The RESNET Carbon Index is the first-of-its-kind carbon rating index which addresses the critical issue of greenhouse gas emissions stemming from energy use in a home. The index can help with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting and as a basis for green bonds.   The existing RESNET HERS Index already looks at patterns of energy use by the hour of the year. It is a straightforward task to translate the energy profile into an emissions profile using the hourly CO2e emission rates and electricity generation emission projections as published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). All joking aside, it's about time.   David and Philip explain how it is now a straightforward process to calculate the comparative emissions of two houses. For example, the emissions from a new house with, or without, efficiency and solar can be examined to see how much electrification and clean energy can help. Or one can compare a house as-is with how it would look with a deep decarbonization retrofit.   LINKS:Philip Fairey on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-fairey-89867773/ David Goldstein on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-b-goldstein-4700a58/ Details on the Carbon Rating Index from RESNET:  https://www.resnet.us/about/resnet-carbon-rating-index/ RESNET's Infographic: https://www.resnet.us/wp-content/uploads/RESNET_CO2eIndex_infographic_11-15-2022.pdf NRDC Article: https://www.nrdc.org/experts/david-b-goldstein/new-tool-measuring-decarbonization   RESTalk: To the RESNET community, we hear you and want to engage.

Few aircraft encompass as many contradictions as the Fairey Swordfish – the legendary ‘Stringbag' naval torpedo bomber which was approaching antiquation at the start of the second world war yet struck mortal blows against some of the most powerful battleships in the Axis fleets.

The Fairey Swordfish was an aircraft out of time. Obsolete by the time it was called upon in the Second World War, it was an aircraft of contradictions. Kept in service because her replacement would have taken too much time and resources to build in numbers, the Swordfish was thrown into battles where she performed admirably. And also where it should never have been.Joining me today is author and historian Matthew Willis, whose new book on the Swordfish looks to delve into some of those contradictions. And explain why it stayed in service when the aircraft that were intended to replace it, like the Albacore, never got to the frontline in the numbers that the Swordfish did.If you are in the UK, you can buy a copy of Matt's Fleet Air Arm Legends: Fairey Swordfish at the Boney Abroad Podcasts Bookshop on the link below. 10% of every sale goes to supporting the podcast, and Bookshop.org will donate to help independent bookshops in the UK too.

A conversation with the artist Shepard Fairey. He is an artist, activist, street art pioneer and founder of the OBEY clothing line, but may be best known for his 2008 HOPE poster that served as the grassroots campaign imagery for Barack Obama's first presidential election. Urban streets have long been the home of Fairey's counter-culture images. The word “OBEY” paired with a stylized depiction of Andre the Giant has been an iconic calling card for the artist whose work is now invited to be painted on city walls and shown in contemporary museums.https://obeygiant.com/https://www.dallascontemporary.org/shepard-faireyhttps://obeyclothing.com/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_%22Hope%22_poster

Few living artists have created an artwork as instantly recognizable as Shepherd Fairey's Hope poster, which has become the stuff of legend as the face of Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. The image, which the New Yorker dubbed "the most efficacious American political illustration since Uncle Sam Wants You,” remains embedded in the public consciousness even if you don't know the street artist's name.  But Fairey has been creating powerful visuals for more than 30 years, dating back to 1989, when he began pasting stickers of Andre, the Giants face over the word obey on the streets of Providence during his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design. In the decades since, Fairey has become equally at home in the art museum as on the streets, bridging the divide between the fine art world and the skateboarding slash graffiti scene with work that reflects his commitment to activism—the Obama poster, it's worth noting, was a grassroots effort, not a campaign commission.  Ahead of Fairey's new solo show at Dallas Contemporary, Artnet News senior writer Sarah Cascone, sat down with the artist to talk about his long career from the DIY skate and punk scene to art world acceptance. "Shepard Fairey: Backward Forward" is on view at Dallas Contemporary, 161 Glass Street, Dallas, Texas, September 25, 2022–July 23, 2023.

Not sure how many San Diego restaurants have a real, bonafide Shepard Fairey art piece—sanctioned by the artist, famous for his propaganda art like the Obey (Andre the Giant) and Hope (Obama) series—but Shank & Bone in North Park is one of them. So technically the Vietnamese restaurant is a pretty notable art gallery. Their pho sure is some art. So are their fish sauce chicken wings, salty and sweet. In our June “Best Restaurants” issue, Shank was named readers' choice for Best Vietnamese and my pick for Best Pho. And on today's podcast Han Tran comes on to share her story—how her parents came over as refugees from Vietnam. She grew up in City Heights, where her mom ran a bakery and cafe. “It was known for the strongest Vietnamese coffee in town,” she says. “Just rocket fuel. In our culture, the cafe scene is mostly men. Women walk in and the needle on the record scratches. But mom ran it. She's tough. Cafes are really popular in the Vietnamese community, but ours was different because we had good food.” Han was raised in this food culture, saw how much her parents worked. Nonstop. The restaurant was their life, their stable place in a new world. And so the daughter went to SDSU with not less than zero interest in running a restaurant, but running very fast the other way. And then her and her husband, Jay Choy, bought a sushi joint, Ebisu Sushi. “We had no idea how to run it,” she says. And yet they did, for 16 years. They opened Shank & Bone because they wanted to take the Vietnamese food Han grew up with, but crank it up, use better ingredients, bring the modern better-food ethos to dishes of her youth. And, well, she took some flak. Some in the Viet community went after her because of the Fairey artwork, which shows a Viet girl holding a gun with a flower in the end of it. “Vietnamese immigrants are all obviously anti-communism—so there was a rumor going around that some communist had come to North Park and opened this restaurant,” she laughs. “And the funny thing is, the image of the woman looks almost identical to a picture of my mom from the refugee camp.” She and her husband also took flak for the price of their pho—$17 when they opened, $20 now. The reason? They invested in better ingredients, and they crammed their broth with two, three times the amount of bones to ratchet up the flavor (thus why the pho is so good). They invested in artwork and a storefront right on University Ave. All things that cost money. Shank's done just fine now. People showed up, keep showing up. In “Hot Plates,” we talk about the impending sale of Stone Brewing to Sapporo U.S.A.; how the city is now starting to enforce permits for the parklets restaurants built during the pandemic, and how very few restaurants have even bothered to apply; and the arrival of Northern California's white-hot Filipino bakery chain, Starbread. For “Two People, Fifty Bucks,” David goes to a classic in North Park (Lucky's Golden Phoenix), Han professes her love for Mongolian Hot Pot; and I defend the honor of chain restaurants by naming one of my favorites for healthy meals (Tender Greens, run by San Diego chef Pete Balistreri). Go eat some pho. Noodles on the side (so they don't soak up too much of that broth, which is gold).

Serving up a monthly side dish of nonsense, and for one week only joined by guest Liam Fairey, the boys discuss the 2017 anthology film Ghost Stories. Will fights off an illness, Liam is singlehandedly keeping the Nu Metal scene alive and Eddy definitely doesn't remember the film.

Welcome to Episode #424: with Tom Fairey, Founder of Stakester, a way for gamers to utilise their hard earned skills and play for higher stakes.   During this episode, we talk about how being competitive and working hard as key traits in entrepreneurial success. Here are some highlights: Being competitive is a good thing. It doesn't necessarily means you're obsessed with winning. It means you love the competition because it's where you test your skill and you don't mind losing. Losing means you analyse what went wrong and how you can be better and improve yourself Culture is everything in business. The behavior and attitude of the people is what empowers the core of a business. We have to accept that with being successful, a portion of that is because of luck. The harder you work, the luckier you become.   Learn more about the contents discussed in this episode: Connect with Tom via LinkedIn and download Stakester via Android or Apple IOS

Buckle up, folks, this week's episode brings TONS of energy + info to those wanting an inside look at how PR can aide in brand awareness for startups. Stakester CEO Tom Fairey joins to discuss how the pandemic helped catapult their platform to the masses. He shares his experience working with Pace PR and how, even as a new business, they are putting a premium on employees health, mental + physical. Peter Woolfolk also stops by. Peter is a legend in PR, having worked with the Clinton administration and many other heavy-hitters. He breaks down politics + PR like the true pro he is.

Thomas is not your regular entrepreneur. In fact, he's everything but normal. After he wrestled a huge Russian guy for money (and won), he got an idea that led to an extraordinary journey of starting Stakester – a platform allowing video game players to back themselves. If you're better than your friend, you win. If not, well… He traveled to New York to introduce this concept to the Rockstar Games co-founder Gary Foreman. Gary listed 16 reasons why it won't work. Then he joined Thomas' team. Since then, Stakester's been able to raise millions of dollars, attract thousands of competitive players, and spread the message about fundraising and building & scaling a successful online business. Tom also runs The Back Yourself Show. A podcast on a mission to empower those thinking about launching their own startup and turning those who have into superstar successes.

Shepard Fairey is an American graphic artist and social activist who is part of the Street Art movement along with other artists including Banksy and Mr.Brainwash. Fairey blurs the boundary between traditional and commercial art through type and image, communicating his brand of social critique via prints, murals, stickers, and posters in public spaces. “Art is not always meant to be decorative or soothing, in fact, it can create uncomfortable conversations and stimulate uncomfortable emotions,” he stated. Born on February 15, 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, Fairey graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1992 where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in illustration. In 1989 Fairey created the André the Giant Has a Posse sticker campaign, featuring a stylized image of the wrestler André the Giant. This project  was the foundation for his seminal Obey series, which helped to push Fairey into the public spotlight. The artist is perhaps best known for his Hope (2008) campaign, which portrays a portrait of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, in red, white, and blue. In 2017, the artist created a series of three posters— featuring portraits of culturally diverse women, again using a red, white, and blue color scheme—in response to the xenophobic rhetoric of President-elect Donald Trump. Fairey currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. His works are included in the collections of the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.In 2019 Maggie visited Shepard's Studio Number One in Los Angeles and they talked about his earliest influences, musically and artistically and why it's important for artists to "Get Up, Stand Up" Source: http://www.artnet.com/artists/shepard-fairey/Source: https://obeygiant.comThis episode is from an archive from the KPFK program Rock Profiles adapted for podcast. Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

Creating art that sparks conversations is the driving force behind The Love Project, a non-profit launched by CNBC Marketing VP and Promax Thriver Robert Poulton.In the heated summer of 2020, Poulton took his art to a new level, drawing pictures as a kind of personal therapy fueled by the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd as well as by the Black Lives Matter movement.Having received a positive reaction to these works, Poulton decided to create prints from some of his drawings, and to donate them to friends and colleagues who, in return, agreed to make a contribution to organizations fighting for social justice reform, education and the arts.A friend who was helping Poulton with the printing recommended that he reach out to artist Shepard Fairey, feeling that the two had similar sensibilities. The two hit it off quickly and The Love Project was born.Poulton joins Promax Editorial Director Paige Albiniak to discuss his art and ideas, how his collaboration with Fairey began and what's next for the project.

Next month, we will have been in this house for two years and it's taken me all of that time to finally get around to beginning the build out of the two basement spaces that will ultimately become my studios — one for podcasting and digital media and the other for painting and printing. The previous owners of the house were both makers—he was a woodworker and an engineer and she was a painter. Together, they literally built the house in 1956 and in fact one of the downstairs spaces served as a wood shop where the living room built-ins and the kitchen cabinets were made. So there's a history of making here and I knew before we even bought the house and moved in that I wanted at least one of the spaces downstairs as a studio, and I think I even told Adrianne that I would start building it out on day one. But here we are two years later and still no studio. What happened? I think like so many creative endeavors, it has something to do with fear, or what Steven Pressfield calls “Resistance.” And before I go much further, if you are a maker or a creator and have not read The War of Art, either pause this episode and go order yourself a copy or write yourself a note to pick one up after. It may take a couple readings to really get it, but once it sinks in, it will offer a ton of insight into the creative process and how self-doubt and fear can be debilitating until you get a handle on them.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Pocket Casts | Overcast | RSSFilmmaker Brian Carlson made a terrific short film about lawnmower racing called 41x.Lens Culture recently shared a brilliant photo essay by photographer Michael Christopher Brown called Yo Soy Fidel. In the essay, Brown follows the “Freedom Caravan” that carried Fidel Castro's remains across Cuba after his death. It's a gorgeous set of photographs.One of my favorite artists, Shepard Fairey, just completed the largest piece of his career. It's a 15 story mural of Johnny Cash that takes up the entire side of the Residence Inn hotel in Sacramento. The mural was inspired by a photograph by Jim Marshall of Cash at Folsom Prison and in this interview with Capital Public Radio, Fairey talks about how the piece came together.Music in this episode: The Wrong Way (Jahzzar) / CC BY-SA 4.0
