Laura Splan is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work mines the materiality of science to reveal poetic subjectivities. Her mixed media projects destabilize notions of the presence and absence of bodies evoking the mutability of categories that delineate their status. Splan’s work compels an intimate engagement with detail calling into question how things are made and what they are made of. She reconsiders perceptions and representations of the corporeal with a range of traditional and new media techniques. She often combines the quotidian with the unfamiliar to interrogate cultural constructions of order and disorder, function and dysfunction. Her frequent combinations of textiles with technology challenge values of "the hand" in creative production and question notions of agency and chance in aesthetics. Her recent Embodied Objects series uses biosensors (electromyography, electroencephalography) to create data-driven forms and patterns for digitally fabricated sculptures, weavings and works on paper as well as for movement in performances with sensor-actuated apparatus. Her current solo exhibition, Conformations, combines biotech imagery, networked devices, and artifacts with sculptures made from the hand-spun fiber of laboratory animals. Splan's work has been exhibited at the Museum of Arts & Design and Beall Center for Art + Technology. International audiences for her work have included Iceland, South Korea, England, Germany, Sweden, Austria, and Canada. Her work is included in the collections of the Thoma Art Foundation, the NYU Langone Art Collection, and the Science Center. Her biomedical themed artworks have been commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control Foundation, the Gen Art New Media Art Exhibition and Davidson College. She has received research funding from The Jerome Foundation and her residencies have been supported by the Knight Foundation, the Institute for Electronic Arts, Harvestworks, and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. She has been a visiting lecturer at Stanford University teaching interdisciplinary courses including “Embodied Interfaces”, “Data as Material” and “Art & Biology”. She is currently a Creative Experiments track member at NEW INC, the New Museum’s cultural incubator. Sound & Vision is sponsored by Golden Paints.

Salman talks to Brian about his paintings, life from Pakistan to NYC and much more. Sponsored by Golden Paints.

Salt Lake City-based artist Stacy Phillips shifts effortlessly between sculpture and painting. In part, this is because her studios for each discipline lie under one roof. In part, it is because she has mastered the ability to adapt as the result of moving 49 times in her life. (Her family relocated frequently while her father worked for Campbell Soup Company.) A change-filled life also helps explain the wide range of Stacy’s artistic toolbox: She works in sculpture, ceramics, painting (on canvas, wood, and ceramics), and jewelry; teaches acrylic painting/collage and monoprinting; and actually enjoys “the business part” of being a career artist. “I majored in fine arts [at Keene State College in New Hampshire] and minored in business and graphic design,” Stacy says. “My father, being in the corporate world, said I should have something to fall back on. In the long run, it suited me, because I can dance between left and right brain.” Among Stacy’s sculptures are torsos — some bronze and some painted ceramic — with beaded skirts of monochromatic crystal and pearl or multicolored beads. She takes the bead concept to an oversize scale in her series of painted wood disks (with center holes), 16 to 18 inches in diameter and 2 to 3 inches thick, cradled in a metal stand). Also in ceramics, she creates brightly colored, abstract sculptures on wood bases. For walls, she makes flowers (some painted and some fired with gold luster) that can be mounted randomly or in one’s chosen pattern. Stacy credits her grandmother, a full-time artist, as an early influence. “Then in high school, I had an art teacher who encouraged me,” she says. “I didn’t know what it meant to be a professional artist; I just knew that’s what I wanted to do.” After earning a bachelor’s degree and working a couple of years for an ad agency in Nebraska, Stacy moved to Park City, Utah, where she bought a frame shop and converted it into a gallery, exhibiting the work of other artists. After years of that, she yearned to get back to “the creating side” of art, she says. “I wanted to explore more in different materials.” With that goal in mind, Stacy pursued graduate work at the University of Miami from 1999 to 2000 before determining that she possessed what was needed to make a living as an artist. “[College] was too academic for me in my late 30s, so I took a sabbatical and went to Mexico,” she says. “I had a friend who had a studio with a connected apartment. I rented the apartment and just made art.” After three months in Puerto Vallarta, she returned to Park City and put together a body of work for the Sun Valley Arts Festival. At that time, Connie and David Katz owned a CODA Gallery in Park City, as well as in Palm Desert, California, and New York City, New York. “CODA was the gallery I wanted to be represented in, so I invited Connie to come see my work,” Stacy says. “She came and bought my whole show.” Now residing in Salt Lake City, where she rents space in an arts complex encompassing studios for some 50 artists, Stacy maintains three rooms: one for sculpture, one for painting, and one that serves as her office for paperwork and art supplies. In addition to working on her own art, she teaches painting and monoprinting and gives lectures and demonstrations throughout the state as the Working Artist of Utah for Golden Paints. Stacy does not sketch but lets herself “respond to the work” as she goes. “The inspiration is the mystery of it,” she says. “You can only do so much in your brain. I love the discovery, the idea of ‘what if.’ The dance between intuition and intention motivates me to be in the studio every day.” http://stacyphillipsart.com/

Today's Positively Creative podcast episode, Dorothy chats with Katherine Corden on how she grew her painting hobby into a side hustle while being a full time physical therapist, how she has learned to say yes and no to live the life that she wants, and how she batches her work to prioritize her time.  "Saying yes to something means saying no to something else, and it goes vice versa, so saying no to something means that you're making room to say yes for something else.  So unless something is exactly what I need, have time for, or want in the present moment, I've said no to it." -Katherine Corden To see Katherine's Work: http://katherinecorden.com/ For more Positively Creative: www.positivelycreative.net On Today's Show: (7:00) how she started just a year ago (11:00) lack of art business education in the university setting (12:00) Skillshare (19:00) her sketching and painting process (19:00) Golden Paints and how she has a limited palette (21:30) her commission process (22:00) Honeybook (29:00) Jenna Kutcher's Goal Digger Podcast (30:00) Present Over Perfect, Big Magic, Essentialism (33:00) prioritizing saying yes and no (38:00) Katherine's typical day - batching her work (42:00) Randolph Street Market (43:00) Raw Art Show & Conception (48:00) overcoming hurdles while painting at night after her full time job (52:00) J.
