Podcast appearances and mentions of felix gonzalez torres

"The only thing permanent is change." - Felix Gonzalez-Torres There is no way around it. The work of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, a gay, Cuban-American artist who responded to - and died during - the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and 90s, is sad. His work is a memorial, both to a lost generation and to his own partner, Ross. Yet it is through these seemingly banal, industrial, or every day materials, and the powerful metaphor that they represent, that we can best get to the root of what loss can mean. And, maybe, healing as well.

Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset talk to Ben Luke about their influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped their lives and work. This is the first episode of A brush with featuring an artist duo. Over the past 30 years Elmgreen and Dragset have consistently created unexpected scenarios within and outside of the museum and gallery structure. Playful, even mischievous at times, and yet shot-through with searing critique and sincere expression, their sculptures and environments are fundamentally concerned with space, both private and public, and the people and communities that occupy it. Elmgreen was born in 1961 in Copenhagen and Dragset in 1969 in Trondheim, Norway. They now live and work in Berlin. They discuss the influence of Hannah Ryggen and Vilhelm Hammershøi, Michael's meeting with Felix Gonzalez-Torres and his effect on their work, and how they feel their work relates to Samuel Beckett's writing, and the final, moving scene of Wim Wenders' film Paris Texas. Plus, they give insight into their lives in the studio and answer our usual questions, including: what is art for?Elmgreen & Dragset: L'Addition, Musee d'Orsay, Paris, until 2 February 2025; Elmgreen & Dragset: Spaces, Amorepacific Museum of Art, Seoul, 23 February 2025; K-BAR is open now at Khao Yai Art Forest, Thailand; Nurture Gaia, Bangkok Art Biennale, Bangkok, Thailand, until 25 February 2025.

Kapwani Kiwanga talks to Ben Luke about the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Kiwanga was born in Hamilton, Canada, in 1978 and lives in Paris. She works primarily in sculpture and installation but also with performance, sound and video. She explores what she has called “power asymmetries”, drawing from forgotten or unexpected histories and studies in everything from botany to sociology, to create enigmatic but alluring objects and environments in a wealth of materials. Research is at the heart of her project, but it triggers unique combinations of ideas, where forms that might initially appear entirely aesthetic and informed by Modernist geometries are in fact “documents” and “witnesses” to complex socio-political ideas and events. Materials are rarely selected simply for their visual effect; instead, Kiwanga chooses them for their historic, economic or cultural uses. A remarkable economy and precision underpins her language, through which she maximises an acute experiential balance between pleasure, curiosity and disquiet. She reflects on her new work, Trinket, for the Canada Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale, about creating a welcoming space for viewers to explore complex histories and ideas, and about balancing seduction and disruption. She reflects on the early influence of the Black Audio Film Collective and how her hanging curtains relate to Felix Gonzalez-Torres; she discusses the significance of residencies in Paris, at the Musée national d'Histoire naturelle, and in Dakar, Senegal; and she talks about why the jazz legend Sun Ra inspired her to make a work. Plus, she gives insight into her life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including: what is art for?Kapwani Kiwanga: Trinket, Canada Pavilion, 60th Venice Biennale, Italy, 20 April-24 November; Kapwani Kiwanga: The Length of the Horizon, Copenhagen Contemporary, Denmark, until 25 August.

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).

Tomorrow Is The Problem PodcastWelcome to the ICA Miami Podcast. Each season, we'll explore familiar concepts from everyday life that we often take for granted.We'll expand these concepts to understand their critical historical and cultural underpinnings and forever change the way you view them.The Art of RitualSeason 3 focuses on ancestral ritual practices that find resonance in today's art and culture.We explore the practices of artists as they birth new meanings from ancient rituals, linking past, present, and future.The Border Between Art and RitualWith the African Diaspora came Yoruba, Kongo, the Orishas in their richly pluralistic forms as well as a great many other cultural and spiritual influences.From ancestral means of worship to the blurry lines between art and ritual, two cuban artists share their experience of Santeria and ritualistic practices in their art, community, legacies and timelines.Time stamps[0:00] A controversial Santeria church and its First Amendment protection.[2:59] María Magdalena Campos-Pons shares her childhood experience of Santeria in Cuba both during spectacular festival celebrations and in the everyday.[4:50] The intense beauty of the Orishas and the potent force of deified ancestors and natural phenomena representations.[6:01] Javialito's cleaning ritual, from ancestral Yoruba roots to performance art.[8:29] José Bedia speaks of his Tata (godfather) who as Nganga Ngombo (priest), introduced him to the Orishas and ceremonies of the Kongo tradition.[10:46] Though his art is public-facing, culturally and spiritually inspired, José keeps his ritual practice private.[11:20] María Magdalena uses her art and her rituals to call in love and healing. She also shares how it fosters lineage and belonging.[14:13] Symmetry enables a duality that José explores both in conceptually and concretely while painting bimanually.[16:04] The idea of coming of age spans a breadth of cultures, José uses a form of anthropological inquiry to draw inspiration from those rituals in societies that grow and change. [18:36] The trauma of colonialism is shared in multiple cultures, but José offers that now is a magnificent time to watch all those cultures finally be free to express what they really are.[19:07] Rituals speak to shared cultural truths, a way to reconcile past, present and future.[20:57] María Magdalena explains why she choses to share an offering with the participants as well as her understanding of Felix Gonzalez-Torres' piles of candy.[24:35] On the endless and collective legacy of rituals in both the physical and spiritual realms.[26:17] Episode 2 is next: Rituals of Transformation: Betye Saar and Black Feminist Art.Contributors + GuestsMaría Magdalena Campos-Pons / Artist and Professor.José Bedia / Painter and Sculptor.Donna Honarpisheh / Assistant Curator and Host.Links + LearnICA MIAMIPodflyCarlos AlfonzoCristine BracheBetye SaarQuotes + Social“The potent force of those celebrations and everything around it, the sense of community... The intensity of what I witnessed there had never left me ever.” — María Magdalena Campos-Pons“I don't think I do ritual for public. I do art influenced by those rituals, but I don't do rituals. I do art. and I try to respect the borderline between one area and the other.” — José Bedia“Rituals allow for place of trust, complicity, understanding, relief, opening of the soul, space. Every time that a ritual is performed, everyone that is in in it become part of that link and that lineage.” — María Magdalena Campos-Pons“We all have this colonial past and it was traumatic. This is a common link between the Caribbean, Africa, and the Native American peoples. But for first time, all those cultures have the right and the conditions to express themself and what they really are.” — José Bedia“Let us never forget our origins, the future is full of unforeseen.” — María Magdalena Campos-Pons

Ben Luke talks to Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster about her influences—from other artists to writers, film-makers and musicians—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Gonzalez-Foerster is one of the leading European artists of her generation. Born in 1965 in Strasbourg, France, she works primarily with installation but her artistic language is enormously diverse, taking in film and video, sculpture, holograms, sound, virtual reality and even smell. Her pieces range from spectacular immersive environments to enigmatic neon texts, and they draw on a wealth of references, from literature and cinema to opera and architecture. In the conversation, she discusses her early fascination with the Musée Gustave Moreau in Paris and with historic forms of public entertainment. She reflects on the “almost traumatic” impact of seeing Marcel Duchamp's work for the first time, her friendship with Felix Gonzalez-Torres, reading Peter Pan, her late discovery of opera and her abiding love of film. Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster: Alienarium 5, Serpentine South Gallery, London, until 4 September. Her work OPERA (QM.15) (2016) is at the Bourse de Commerce, Paris, until 2 January 2023.

Per l'antropologo francese Marc Augé, gli alberghi (come gli aeroporti e le stazioni) sono dei non-luoghi: eterne zone di passaggio, onnipresenti nella nostra società, ma in cui non mettiamo radici. Forse, proprio per questa loro ambiguità, gli alberghi non hanno mai smesso di stimolare artisti e teorici come David Hockney, Sophie Calle e Beatriz Colomina. Una puntata sorprendente, in cui scopriremo le rivoluzionarie teorie di Costantino sulla ceretta per naso e orecchie, il rapporto tra non-luogo e non-cazzo nella filosofia di Francesco, un'inedita e struggente storia di Massimo Gramellini e la cronaca di una notte da incubo all'Hangar Bicocca, tra dentifrici allucinogeni e letti semoventi.In questa puntata si parla di Marc Augé, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Maurizio Cattelan, Alighiero Boetti, Christian Boltanski, Gilbert & George, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Lawrence Wiener, Rikrit Tiravanija, Otto Muhl, Michelangelo Pistoletto, On Kawara, Fischli und Weiss, Banksy, Caravaggio, Claude Monet, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Tadao Ando, James Turrell, Charles Ray, Beatriz Colomina, Zadie Smith, Toni Morrison, Andrea Fraser, Sophie Calle, Carsten Höller, David Hockney, Massimo Gramellini, Walid Raad, Hans Haake, Naeem Mohaiemen, Kerry Hill, Geoffrey Bawa e Hauser & Wirth.

Ben Luke talks to the Seoul-born, London-based artist Do Ho Suh about his influences and life-changing cultural experiences. They discuss his recreations of his various homes in coloured fabric and how his early work in South Korea has been ignored by curators and critics. Do Ho reveals that, influenced by a painting of fish and shellfish in his family home, he wanted to be a marine biologist, and that he only switched to art when he realised his maths was not good enough. He reflects on the influence of the Chinese artists Qi Baishi and Bada Shanren and discusses the contemporary artists he admires, from Felix Gonzalez-Torres to Rachel Whiteread. And, as with all the guests on the A brush with... podcast, he names the writers and musicians he admires, ponders his studio rituals and answers the ultimate question: what is art for?

Felix Gonzalez-Torres was a Cuban American artist who rose to prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s with his poignant minimalist installations. His stack pieces of unlimited edition prints make the fine art gallery space more democratic. Patrons are not only able to touch and take a piece from the artist, but the viewer becomes a collaborator as every person who takes one of the prints changes the dimensions of the sculpture. Throughout his career, Felix Gonzalez-Torres was focused on art and community as well as cultural connections. In this episode, we discussed "Untitled" (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) from 1991.  The first time, I saw this piece, I was walking through a gallery and saw just a giant pile of candy. At first, I dismissed the work as a sign of everything wrong with contemporary art. I simply walked past thinking how ridiculous it was that simply pouring bags of candy on the floor would be considered worthy of a museum. Of course, as with most things I initially dismissed, I found upon further research that it was actually quite thoughtful and deliberately created. Felix Gonzalez-Torres's work was actually a big influence on my development as an artist and a teacher in getting me to think of art as not simply a static object created by an artist for others to look at, but rather something for all to participate in.

Ben Luke talks to the US artist Roni Horn about her life and work, with reference to the art, music and literature that are her influences and touchstones. Among much else, they discuss Horn's enduring engagement with the poems of Emily Dickinson, and the sculptures and installations that she has made as a result; her unique friendship with Felix Gonzalez-Torres and the works it inspired; the jazz and R&B singers that she has listened to throughout her life; and her profound experiences in Iceland, the subject of her new book, Island Zombie: Iceland Writings (Princeton University Press). Plus, the questions Ben asks all the guests on A brush with..., including: if you could live with just one work of art, what would it be? And what is art for?

In this episode, we'll explore Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s “Untitled” (Portrait of Ross in L.A.)

In After the Party: A Manifesto for Queer of Color Life (NYU Press, 2018) Joshua Chambers-Letson invites you to a party featuring Eiko, Nina Simone, Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas, Danh Vō, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and Tseng Kwong Chi. Through this diverse cast of characters, Chambers-Letson highlights moments of immanent communism: collaborations, romantic relationships, and serendipitous collisions that point towards a liberated future which also exists in our troubled present. Chambers-Letson draws on queer theorists like Jose Esteban Muñoz as well as Third World Marxists like C.L.R. James to articulate “a practice of being together in difference.” These artists and theorists model a form of solidarity that never denies our differences. Writing back against an often heteronormative and Euro-centric Marxism, Chambers-Letson helps us imagine a revolutionary communist party that lasts through the night and into the morning. Andy Boyd is a playwright based in Brooklyn, New York. He is a graduate of the playwriting MFA program at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Arizona School for the Arts. His plays have been produced, developed, or presented at IRT, Pipeline Theatre Company, The Gingold Group, Dixon Place, Roundabout Theatre, Epic Theatre Company, Out Loud Theatre, Naked Theatre Company, Contemporary Theatre of Rhode Island, and The Trunk Space. He is currently working on a series of 50 plays about the 50 U.S. states. His website is AndyJBoyd.com, and he can be reached at andyjamesboyd@gmail.com.

Love can be complicated, messy, and inspiring—and has shaped the history of art more than we knew. In this episode of the Magazine podcast, we're bringing love stories to light. From Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith, who “felt magnified” by one another as struggling young artists in New York; to a recent love story sparked at the Museum; to Felix Gonzalez-Torres, who found that love could conquer fate and even death, these stories prove that love can mean many things, and each definition can affect the way we make, view, and understand art.

Art critic Alastair Sooke, in the company of some of the leading creatives of our age, continues his deep dive into the stunning works in the Museum of Modern Art's collection, whilst exploring what it really means “to see” art. Today's edition features British stage designer and sculptor Es Devlin. Devlin has made large scale touring stage sculptures in collaboration with Beyoncé, Kanye West Adele, U2, and the Royal Opera House in London, as well as designing the London Olympic Closing Ceremony in 2012. She has selected Felix Gonzalez-Torres' Perfect Lovers - in which two synchronized clocks, like those typically found in offices and public spaces, are displayed side by side. One will inevitably stop before the other. Created whilst Felix Gonzalez-Torres's partner was ill, it embodies the tension that comes from two people living side-by-side as life moves forward towards death. Laycock died of AIDS six years before Gonzalez-Torres's own death in 1996. What will one of the world's greatest set designers see in this simple, poignant work?

This week we're learning about how we learn. Under the principles of constructivism, educational psychologists believe that we learn by making connections between new information and our past experiences. You'll hear some examples of people "connecting the dots" over the course of the last century, including: - Patricia Resick, creator of Cognitive Processing Therapy - Carl Sandburg, poet - The inventors of the electrostatic detection apparatus (ESDA) and those forensic professionals who use it in their work - Felix Gonzalez-Torres, artist Please be sure to get in touch with your own examples of connecting the dots!

Episode notes:In this episode, Jake Treacy, an independent curator and Kiron Robinson, an visual artist and photography lecturer, spoke about their recent experiences of visiting several exhibitions in Melbourne. The exhibitions included 'All of Us' at Blindside, New Objectives at Busproject, 'Utopian Tongues' at SEVENTH gallery, and 'David &: Lou Hubbard, Day Art Group, Eugene Carchesio' at Arcade project Space. Jake shared his insightful thoughts on how an art exhibition could decolonise and deconstruct the conventional 'white cube' and institutional system. For this matter, he talked about his own experiences of working as an independent curator to create inclusive and community relevant exhibitions. Whereas, Kiron shared his questions and thoughts about the ideas about collaboration between visual artists. We joined him and discussed several recent collaborative art works and exhibitions.TWO SPEAKERS:Jake TreacyJake can be followed at Instagram: @jakeadamtreacyKiron Robinsonwww.kiron-robinson.com/THE EXHIBITIONS & ARTISTS MENTIONED BY JAKEBlindside : https://www.blindside.org.auEXHIBITION: All of Us, 13-29 Sep 2018https://www.blindside.org.au/all-of-usJessica Clark, CURATORhttps://www.jessicaamyclark.comJustine Youssef, ARTISThttp://www.antidote.org.au/artists/justine-youssef/Liam Benson, ARTISThttp://www.liambenson.netAdorned - NSW performance grouphttps://riversideparramatta.com.au/show/adorned-wisdom-memory-and-song/  New objectives. at Busproject by Lee Shan Lunhttps://busprojects.org.au/program/new-objectivesUtopian Tongues at Seventh Galleryhttp://seventhgallery.org/project/utopian-tongues/Tane Andrews, ARTISThttp://www.taneandrews.comWork title: With you beside me comes the knowledge of my deathKaren Casey, ARTISThttp://www.karencasey.com.au/projectsTeresa Hsieh, ARTISThttp://www.teresahsieh.com‘Closed to the public’ the collaborative work by Amy Spiers and Catherine Ryan, that I mentionedhttp://www.amyspiers.com.au/portfolio/closed-to-the-public-protecting-space/Felix Gonzalez-Torres“Untitled’, 1991.

Leah Foster is an artist from the small rural town of Dilley, Texas. With little exposure to the arts in her rural community, it wasn’t until college that Leah discovered a passion for art and its potential for shaping the world she wanted to live in. For Leah, art is simply a tool to bring about change within the world; art as a means to an end, not the end in itself.“I do have a very clear agenda, and that is to make this place a better place. I am an artist and that is the position where I speak from.”— Felix Gonzalez Torres
