WOW! This is our lucky 13th Episode of rabbitHOLE.  Today's Holes: Philosopher Smackdown Terms of Art Patrick Swayze Flannery explains why analytic philosophers rule and post-structuralism is B.S. Some of them even make cameos.  By the end of the episode, you may wonder if time exists, what's real, if there is beauty, and why is there so much "accidental" wetness in romcoms? The living rooms cheerfully explore soccer parents, jargon, violent ballerinas, and some of Patrick Swayze's best work. APOLOGIES: Philosophy (yes... all of it), ballet, Olympics, reality cooking shows, medical personnel, Plato, youth soccer, announcers, France, Italy, alternative restauranteurs, perpetually tardy people (YKWYA), and of course, Max Headroom.

Welcome to the second HOLE of SEASON TWO. Today's Holes: Improvised Shakespeare Waiting for Godot, Guffman, Lefty, etc. Unintentionally Scary Children's T.V. Shows BIT player Amber takes us on a journey that opens on Improvised Shakespeare and culminates with Twin Peak's pain and suffering symbol - creamed corn. Who knew? Flannery confesses her love for Beckett's Waiting for Godot, which triggers Luke to recall a Tempest performance with only three actors. This leads to a slightly morbid tale of Amber's grandmother saying goodbye from her hospice bed but then asking for a tuna fish sandwich. Finally, Luke tries to convey that the early muppets were very "weird," triggering Thea's memories of a dark and horrifying Norwegian children's T.V. show (Pompel og Pilt) where one puppet never finds the other and meets a broom.  This episode features many celebrity "sightings," including George Lucas, David Lynch, Dale Cooper*, Ross Bryant, Cookie Monster, Kermit the Frog, and the Bard himself! I can't give it all away here in the notes!  APOLOGIES: Creamed corn, the celebs listed above, Jim Henson and the Muppets (for at least the third time), Kyle Merritt MacLachlan (no relation), Chat Shows, Italy, Norway (sorry, Thea), The Nutcracker,  puppets, and Diabetes.

Please help us answer the age-old question, "How many TIKI BARS are too many?" Jason shares "letters from Gramps" about stick-to-it-iveness. Brett reminisces about accidentally reciting a sexist passage from an H.R. Hubbard book his Mom gave him. Deema confesses to faking his way through religious rituals to keep peace in the family until he can't take it anymore. Once he declares his authentic belief (or disbelief in his case), his father accuses him of being a communist, and everything goes back to normal. Thea confesses to participating in a religious rite of passage only for the money gifts. DO NOT judge her!  APOLOGIES:  NASA, Tang, Scatting, the planets Mars, Venus, and Penis, the Astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Matt, the professions of bartender, doctor, and lawyer, Elon Musk, mermaids, all organized religions, women, tigers, Bing Crosby, the GRAMMYs, and the entire Hubbard family.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here. Divine narratives in theaterSuzy Messerole, co-artistic director of Exposed Brick Theatre, is raving about the play “A Walless Church: The Black Woman's Guide to Creating God.” The original play was written by AriDy Nox and developed at the Playwright Center, and it includes music by Queen Drea. The play runs through Oct. 13 at the Pillsbury House +Theatre. Suzy says: It is a beautiful combination of ritual and movement and storytelling. It is about three godlings that come back to Earth, and they are exploring how Black women experience divinity, so they are here searching for the divine. There is an incredible ritual that happens, really gorgeous movement, and there's also three concrete storylines that you can really latch onto. There's all kinds of ways that this society tells Black women, explicitly and not explicitly, that they don't deserve divinity, and this is a reclamation of the kind of faith and joy and beauty that Black women need and deserve and should have. The three actors drop in and out of multiple different characters, from a mom to a grandma to an auntie to a teenager and back to a godling. And the great thing about seeing a show at Pillsbury House + Theatre is that it's an intimate setting, so you're getting up close and personal with these powerhouse actors.— Suzy Messerole Landscapes alive with lightArt lover Bill Adams of Erhard appreciates the arts scene around Fergus Falls. He wants people to know about a current show at the Kaddatz: “Scott Gunvaldson: Paintings, Drawings, Graphic Art,” which runs through Oct. 19. Bill says: Scott is a former student of [the late] Charles Beck, and like Charlie, he really captures the essence of west central Minnesota in his landscapes. Scott uses light in just an extraordinary way to bring out the heart and essence of the landscape. Scott is also just an extraordinary portrait painter. He has several portraits in this show that I think are just amazing. When you stare at those portraits, the people really come alive. And again, he uses light in just an extraordinary way to bring life to those portraits.— Bill Adams Rising from SuperiorArtist and educator Marjorie Fedyszyn of Minneapolis recommends Annie Hejny's multidisciplinary solo show about humanity's impact on Lake Superior. “Imminent Change/Rising Potential” runs through Oct. 26 at Kohlman & Reeb Gallery in the Northrup King Building in Minneapolis. Supported by the Kolhman & Reeb Project Space Grant, Hejny spent 24 days circumnavigating Lake Superior in 2023, during which time she took water samples that she incorporated into paints and gathered images and video. Marjorie describes the show: In the gallery, you will see large-scale acrylic paintings based on Superior's vast shoreline, rusted steel wall sculptures in response to the years of taconite tailings running off into the lake, intimate watercolor works in a mesmerizing, layered video projection of water, highlighting the entanglement of personal, political and social aspects of our magnificent Lake Superior. Humans have altered this highly revered and significant waterscape, and inevitably, more changes lay ahead as shoreline development, invasive species mining threats and water temperatures continue to increase. Annie's care and interest in the stewardship of the environment inspired her solo journey and informed these new artworks, aligning her firsthand experience with imaginative experimentation, she reckons with the past and finds hope in the possibilities ahead. This body of work is so surprisingly different from her former work that it feels like it's a launching point for whatever's coming next in her career.— Marjorie Fedyszyn

Louise Sandhaus is a distinguished author, professor and founder of her eponymous design studio. She won the American Institute of Graphic Arts medal in 2022 for her exceptional achievements. Most recently, she founded "The People's Graphic Design Archive," which she describes as a "crowd-sourced virtual archive" to preserve the ephemeral nature of beautiful design. Her book, "Earthquakes, Mudslides, Fires and Riots: California and Graphic Design 1936-1986" received glowing reviews from many publications, including the New York Times and Guardian of London. She taught for years at Cal Arts and was director of their graphic design program from 2004-2006. Sandhaus has designed many museum exhibits, and one of her designs is in the permanent collection at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She was also a key exhibition designer in the millennial project of the LA County Museum of Art, "Made in California." Louise talked about growing in a mixed design household: her mother loved older, upholstered furniture and her father sleek, modernist and minimalist design. We also talked about our shared love of the work of writer and critic Reyner Banham, whose influential book on Los Angeles, The Architecture of Four Ecologies, which argued that the oft-maligned city was beautiful in its design and far ahead of its time. We also talked about our shared love of elegant typography, Theosophist history, overlooked designers and how California leads the world of design because of how we are constantly reinventing ourselves. We did not talk about cheese cultures, bauxite refining or the return of mullets to men's hair trends. You can learn more about Louise and her work, https://peoplesgdarchive.org/ or LSD-Studio.net.

In this episode I am reading from Byron Lacy's book 'Chosen: Chronicles of an Alien Abductee'.Can you imagine the helplessness and fear that a five-year-old would feel when he's first visited by extraterrestrials? How about the look on his parents' faces when he confesses his alien encounter?Chosen: Chronicles of an Alien Abductee is Byron W. Lacy's firsthand account of what modern science insists is only folklore.The first encounters come when he is young—with "little men" entering the room as he hugs his teddy bear. They masquerade as cartoon characters to ease his concern, a dancing Captain Hook—minus the hook—joining his comrades. Future visits lead to psychic connections with his visitors.Admitting such encounters takes courage, especially when similar comments by a family member placed her in a mental hospital. But Lacy lays it all out on the table as he details what it's like to be an alien abductee.Chosen: Chronicle of an Alien Abductee isn't just for the disbelievers. It's a free discussion of Lacy's experience—one meant to encourage other abductees through their own moments of skepticism both from others and within.BioByron W. Lacy was born in Burnet, Texas on March 21, 1950. He is a fourth generation Texan. Byron's Great Grandfather, George W. Lacy, came to Texas in the early 1850's. George and two of his business partners donated the granite to build the current Texas state capitol. He also started a dog breed which is now called the Blue Lacy and is the state dog of Texas. Byron incorporates stories of his ancestors in his books.Byron started writing poetry while in high school and received great encouragement from his teachers. His first poem was published in a small literary magazine before he turned twenty-one. Byron has had many poems published in literary magazines. He has also published a book of his poetry, THE NIGHT IS A CONSTANT LOVER, and a SiFi novel , HEROES and VILLAINS DOWN THE HALLS OF TIME THE LEGEND OF SPINEY WHEEZER, both available on Amazon. Byron has written a nonfiction book about his experiences titled Chosen: Chronicles of an Alien Abductee; also on Amazon.Byron is also a musician and writes and performs EDM (electronic dance music) on synthesizers, and has two CD collections of music on Amazon.In 1976 Byron received a B.S in English.

Nana Wolke by Inna Svyatsky / installshots.art Nana Wolke explores the nature of perception, focusing her attention on modes of apprehension of space and time. Her series of works usually begins on film-like sets, where the artist records the unfolding of staged situations and improvised actions occurring in spaces spanning across social hierarchy. Wolke proceeds to assemble and edit both original and found footage to create distinctly monochromatic visual atmospheres and rhythms that she then translates into painting and sound installations. Using commonplace lighting to model space and generate the grain, textures and slippages of her images and sequences, Wolke utilizes a variety of devices chosen as much for their technical properties as for their social significance – e.g. CCTV equipment, home video camcorders, inventory cameras, intercom systems, etc. Considering the multiple viewpoints from which an action can be witnessed, Wolke's work conjures a tension between observation and control, often inviting viewers to navigate environments that interrogate notions of access and inclusion – whether for economic, social, or security purposes. In so doing, Wolke reflects upon the conflation of desire and shame in contemporary modes of production and consumption of images and visual culture. By constantly confronting the logic of live actions, cinema, and paint, Wolke ultimately seeks to analyze the progressive inextricability between actual and artificial realities. Wolke holds an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London. Solo exhibitions include Breed at Management, New York; Wanda's at NiCOLETTi, London; High Seat at Castor Gallery, London; 4:28 - 5:28 am at VIN VIN, Vienna; and Some Girls Wander by Mistake at Fondazione Coppola, Vicenza. Group exhibitions include Over you/you at the 31. Biennial of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana; Daddy at G2 Kunsthalle, Leipzig; Painters Painting Painters: A Study of Muses, Friends, and Companions at the Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas; Love is the Devil: Studies after Francis Bacon at Marlborough, London; and No Angels at Wilhelm Hallen, Berlin among others. Wolke was also selected for the 2021 cohort of Bloomberg New Contemporaries.

In this bonus episode, brought to you with historicity Tokyo, Japan House London curator Hiro Sugiyama, and contemporary artists Tsuzuki Mayumi and Suga Mica, ride the great waves of Japanese graphic design, commercial illustration, and counterculture, from the 1980s to now. Heta-uma - meaning bad but good - was an accidental art movement. A kind of ‘anti-illustration', heta-uma rocked the established conventions of Japanese art, coinciding with the economic boom of the 1980s. Emerging in the underground manga magazine GARO, and manifesting in posters and adverts, pop art and animation, heta-uma challenges what is ‘ugly', ‘beautiful' or skilled art - as well as what ‘subcultures' mean in the context of a global mainstreaming in Japanese art, embodied by Hokusai's The Great Wave. Hiro Sugiyama, artist and co-curator of WAVE, has brought the annual exhibition in Tokyo to Japan Houses in San Francisco, Sao Paolo, and London. From his training at Yumura Teruhiko's Flamingo Studios in Shinjuku, we return to the city's Inari shrines with the surrealistic paintings of Suga Mica, and Showa period traditions with Tsuzuki Mayumi. Both artists also detail the long role of women artists in commercial illustration, the two-way exchanges between Japanese and Western European art traditions like ‘superrealism' and ‘hyperrealism', and how contemporary Japanese artists take as much from the concept of haziness (morotai), as David Hockney and the films of David Lynch. WAVE: Currents in Japanese Graphic Arts runs at Japan House London until 22 October 2023.

In s2e29, Platemark hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig talk about Claude Lorrain, the arbiter of landscape painting in the 17th century. He worked most of his life in Rome and elevated landscape as a subject up the academic hierarchy by including small figural groups and naming the compositions with mythological or biblical subjects. He's known by various names that can be confusing. He was born Claude Gelée in the independent duchy of Lorraine, which is why the French call him le Lorrain. The English, who collected his works assiduously and even now have the highest number of his works (by country), refer to him simple as Claude. He created an amazing cache of ink and wash drawings of each of his painted compositions in a first catalogue raisonné of sorts. He dubbed this book the Liber Veritatis («the book of truth»). Claude told his biographer Filippo Baldinucci that he kept the record as a defense against others passing off his work as theirs. This bound group of drawings was collected and owned by the Dukes of Devonshire from the 1720s until 1957 when it was given to the British Museum (in lieu of estate taxes upon the death of Victor Christian William Cavendish, the 9th Duke of Devonshire). While Claude died in 1682, his renown in England was enough to prompt the print publisher John Boydell to hire artist Richard Earlom to create prints after the drawings nearly one hundred years after Claude's death. Two hundred etchings with mezzotint were created between 1774 and 1777, and were published in two volumes as Liber Veritatis. Or, A Collection of Two Hundred Prints, After the Original Designs of Claude le Lorrain, in the Collection of His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, Executed by Richard Earlom, in the Manner and Taste of the Drawings.... Later, a third volume of an additional 100 prints was published in 1819. Earlom used etching to mimic Claude's ink lines and mezzotint for the wash areas. They were printed in brown ink to mimic iron gall ink. Hugely influential in England, the books were popular with collectors and were used by artists as models for copying. The Liber Veritatis also inspired J.M.W. Turner to produce a similar project of 71 prints after Turner's painted compositions, which he called Liber Studiorum. They may appear old fashioned to contemporary viewers, but rest assured, landscape was just getting its legs under it. Boring imagery? Maybe. But important for our story of the history of prints in the West. Episode image: Claude Lorrain (French, c. 1600–1682). Seaport with Ulysses Returning Chryseis to Her Father, c. 1644.

Born and raised in New York City, I always found myself surrounded by cutting edge art and stunning architecture. My passion for art was one that developed early in life and always stuck with me. While studying Graphic Arts & Architecture at the City University of New York, I discovered photography through my coursework and began diving into the medium as a hobby. That hobby soon flourished into a professional career as I discovered a way to combine my excitement for photography & architecture. I spent the first 15 years of my professional career as a Photographer, Art Director and Creative Director for marketing organizations across New Jersey and New York City.

Tune in to hear their conversation on designing products and creating brands for women, with their bodies and choices in mind.

My husband and I had this conversation recently about "wasted" majors. He had recently talked to two young people who couldn't get jobs in their chosen fields and commented that they "wasted" their time in college. One major was in creative writing and one was in Graphic Arts. I really started thinking about how tragic it was that someone couldn't study what they wanted to or that they were passionate about because they wouldn't be able to find a job. Why is that? Creative writing is important. Graphic Arts are important. Why couldn't someone find a job doing important work that they really loved and wanted to do? It started me thinking that it isn't the majors themselves that aren't working, it is HOW we are educating students in high school and college about these majors. When do they learn the specific skills they need to get jobs in these fields? When do they learn about HOW to market themselves or the business skills they need to sell themselves to these industries to get the jobs? In my high school, we weren't teaching those skills and colleges MIGHT be a little better, but not much. Students and parents need to advocate for more real-world experiences and applications of skills to happen before their child ever graduates.I'd love to hear your ideas about this topic.

This week I am talking to Jessie Desmond about her book 'Saucers of The North: A History of UFOs in Alaska Airspace'.A historical examination of UFOs in Alaska airspace spanning from native oral traditions, early Russian Alaska, Alaska as a US territory, Alaska as the 49th state, and to the present time. UFOs have been present earlier than most suspect. There are military ties and even some conspiracy theories.Saucers of The North provides a linear examination of Alaskan history based on the perspective of reported UFO activity. The social and cultural impact of UFOs have turned ufology into an area of interest and even the base of some fringe sciences. Alaska is known to have a high amount of UFO reports per capita. Saucers of the North expands on that and dives deep.Learn about:Native oral traditions that have extraterrestrial tiesPre-1947 sightings of strange things in the skyPost-1947 local sightings and military projects like Project PinballAnimal mutilation in AlaskaThe JAL 1628 UFO incident that took place on Nov. 17, 1986Conspiracy theories relating to UFO activityRecent UFO activityBioJessie has always been a creative person with a passion for writing, science, history, illustrating, painting, music, film, the paranormal, and cooking/baking.

The guest of this episode is Northwestern State University Professor Matt DeFord who talks about the value of being present with the people around you and in the environment you are in. Matt talks about the importance of setting healthy boundaries and how that can help us be present and also set the tone to empower others. This also set the stage to talk about the importance for us as Servant Leaders to help those around us set healthy boundaries. Matt talked about leadership in hurricane response, at the University, in his Church responsibilities and in his personal life while displaying the power of getting to know the people around him and learning their unique strengths and gifts. This allows him to find the appropriate ways to delegate, appreciate, and congratulate the people around him to harness their potential and help them grow. He teaches us that we can set a vision and allow the people around us to use their individual processes to complete the tasks in ways that can amaze us. Just because the process is different than our own doesn't mean it is wrong and often we can learn from the way other's do things differently. He discusses ways that his creativity is thwarted while displaying avenues where we can improve creativity in our organizations. Challenges are the opportunities that life gives us and balance really is a myth, so it is up to us to choose where to focus our priorities at a given time. When we learn to harness the complete team, we can expand our ability to meet our organization's priorities through delegation and empowerment. We can all be a leader wherever we are when we are willing to serve each other and build one another up!  Matt DeFord is the son of hippie converts. They met each other hitchhiking, then found religion after crossing the plains with their thumbs out. He grew up in the Midwest and Texas. After serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the South Africa Johannesburg mission, he met and married Canadian Julie Heggie while attending Ricks College (BYU-Idaho). They have seven children and live in Natchitoches, Louisiana where he is a professor of Art at Northwestern State University. He was Chair of the Department of Fine and Graphic Arts for twelve years and has served in the church as bishop and stake president while also fulfilling his professional and familial responsibilities. Matt has never sought out leadership or considered himself much of a leader, but the opportunities have presented themselves to him and he has worked to serve those around him.
