In this episode, we delve into the creative world of Thomas Hicks, a rising multidisciplinary artist who seamlessly blends photography, mixed media, and sculpture. Through his work, Thomas demonstrates that art is an ever-evolving conversation—one where reuse, remixing, and reimagining old ideas lead to new stories. Building on themes introduced by our first guest, Ty Davis, we see how generational shifts have reshaped how artists approach their craft. Where Ty once felt a tinge of shame for painting over an old piece, Thomas boldly reuses and reinterprets materials without hesitation—reflecting how younger generations embrace art as a fluid, living process. We explore: How Gothic art, vintage photography, and found materials inspire Thomas's creations. The power of reworking and remixing, challenging traditional notions of "finished" art. His evolving creative process and its intersection with themes of preservation and decay. Why art history is both a guide and a starting point for innovation. Thomas's perspective invites us to let go of old stigmas and embrace the infinite possibilities that come from reworking what we already have. Thomas Hicks is a multidisciplinary artist from Greenville, South Carolina, currently completing his senior year at the College of Charleston. His work draws on themes of connection, spirituality, and transformation, using materials like vintage photography, textiles, and pastels. Thomas has exhibited at Redux Contemporary Art Center, the Halsey Institute's Young Contemporaries, and beyond, crafting art that reimagines the past for the future.

Episode No. 610 features artist Dyani White Hawk and curator Kelly Montana. White Hawk is included in "Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America" at the African American Museum in Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. The exhibition presents new works that examine the question, "Is the sun rising or setting on the experiment of American democracy?" The exhibition was organized by a six-person curatorial team and is on view through October 8. White Hawk (Sičáŋǧu Lakota) makes works multiple media that often foreground Lakota art forms and cultural knowledge and blend both Native American and non-Native interests and art histories. Her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver and the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston. She's also been in group shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Ark., and more. Montana is the curator of "Si Lewen: The Parade" which is at the Menil Drawing Institute in Houston through September 3. The Parade is an epic narrative that unfolds across 63 drawings. Lewen, a Polish-born immigrant who lived and worked in New York and Pennsylvania, witnessed the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp in 1945 while serving in the United States Army. In the 1950s he published a graphic novel that responded to the horrors he encountered as part of his war-time experience. This exhibition is the first in the United States to bring together the complete set of works from The Parade.

L'arte del disegno può contribuire a comunicare la scienza e documentare le specie in modo da non perderne la memoria? Lo scopriremo cercando di tracciare un percorso inedito e stimolante tra scienza e arte, partendo dalle suggestioni dei disegni di una tavola parietale scientifica, strumento didattico in uso nelle università e nelle scuole di tutta Europa, tra Ottocento e Novecento, e passando attraverso le voci di chi abita i laboratori di biologia e mescola ricerca scientifica e attività artistica, mettendo quotidianamente nuovi disegni e nuove immagini al centro delle proprie attività.Ci accompagnano in questo viaggio Marco Oliverio, zoologo; Luigi Suglia e Marzia Munafò, biologi ed illustratori scientifici; Maurizio Mei, entomologo e disegnatore. Le voci narranti sono di Elena De Carolis, bibliotecaria, Margherita Martinelli, studentessa di Ecobiologia e Davide Marzi, ricercatore.Le interviste sono state registrate presso RadioSapienza, con la collaborazione di Andrea Pranovi.

On today’s episode Hilary sits down with Cinelle Barnes, essayist, memoirist, and author of the recently published “Monsoon Mansion." Books have been the one constant in her life—through her tumultuous childhood in the Philippines, her years living as an undocumented immigrant in the New York City, her time as a new bride living in the American South, and as she completed her MFA program and began writing about her secrets. Barnes is also an AWP Journal Intro Award nominee, a Kundiman Creative Non-Fiction Intensive Fellow, a VONA/Voices alum for political content writing at the University of Pennsylvania, a presenter and panelist on Diversity in Literature at the Creative Writing Studies Conference at Warren Wilson College, a founding member of the C.D.

Her first book, Monsoon Mansion: A Memoir, arrives in May 2018 from Little A/Amazon Publishing. Barnes teaches writing workshops throughout the year, including Poses and Prose, a yoga + writing workshop. We explore these hot topics! The beautiful, albeit complicated, process of writing a book The discipline of writing daily for hours each day, and how much of her book was written with one hand while holding and breastfeeding her daughter The power of the 3x5 index card The necessity of play “Let’s go back to the beginning” as a tool for breaking down breakdowns! The pursuit of long term goals, like writing a book that took over 5 years to reach publication ;) Connect with Cinelle Barnes: Website “Monsoon Mansion” Connect with Hilary Johnson and Hatch Tribe: Website Members Circle Instagram Facebook

Renee Stout is a visual artist who explores the mystical and rhythmic planes of existence. Her assemblages combine painting, sculpture, found objects, vintage photographs, ancient symbols, herbs and potions, and remnants of stories and letters. Her mixed-media, multi-sensory installations delve into spiritualism, soothsaying, magic and spells. She creates fictional narratives with imaginary characters derived from alter egos that trace her personal history and address contemporary issues of community strife and healing. Her work has been exhibited internationally and at the National Museum of American Art, the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of African Art, the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, and the Smithsonian Institution American Art Museum.  Renee is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University.  This episode is perfect for anyone interested in the conjuring of mystical powers and the life of a contemporary visual artist. IN THIS EPISODE Renee explains her art and what viewers would see at one of her exhibits. She shares what she wants viewers of her art to feel and the story she is telling. She reveals the role alter egos play in the construction and presentation of her work. She discusses what herbs, roots and found objects have to do with her art. She explains who Fatima Mayfield is and the conjuring of supernatural forces. Renee talks about connecting with spirits and interventions from other dimensions. She discusses moments of possession and the role music plays in her work. She tells a story about when she cast a spell of her own. She reveals who exactly are Madame Ching and Dorothy. Renee talks about how the relationship of her parents affected her and the burden and benefits of being sensitive. She shares what it was like growing up in Pittsburgh and key advice she received from her father. She tells the story of an early encounter with art that changed her life. She discusses how she feels about the label 'black art' and being known as a black artist. She talks about her breakout exhibition and what people don't know about the life of an artist. Renee shares what she is working on now, whether her art is where she wants it to be, and what spell she would cast on the world.   After the conversation, host Mark Peres adds a personal word that begins this way, "When I hear Renee Stout talk about spirits and music and spells, I'm brought back to the street of Rio de Janeiro watching African-Brazilian women in white crinoline dresses..."  

Karen joins us in the studio to discuss the personal tragedy of her long term partner committing suicide, and how that led to the unexpected 'death of herself' as well. We talk about her ditching pharmaceutical school to follow her passion to be a full-time artist. An incredibly talented painter, she moved to Charleston to become the executive director of REDUX Contemporary Art Center, then became an associate director at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art. We talk about moving towards a life where everything she does is in alignment - and how the death of her long-time partner has her contemplating moving away from the female figure as a subject and instead painting her succulents.

This video accompanies the exhibition entitled, Rebound: Dissections and Excavations in Book Art. Curated by Karen Ann Myers, Assistant Director of the Halsey Institute, Rebound brings together the work of five mixed-media artists from around the world who, using books as a point of departure, sculpt, scrape, bend, and carve to create astonishing compositions. Doug Beube, Long-Bin Chen, Brian Dettmer, Guy Laramée, and Francesca Pastine transform various types of literature and/or printed books through sculptural intervention. The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art commissioned Rebound artist, Long-Bin Chen, to create a site-specific sculptural work that is on view in the Rotunda of the Marlene and Nathan Addlestone from May 23 -- October 12, 2013. Chen created the work during a residency (May 1 - 23, 2013), using books from the Charleston community. College of Charleston students Tommy Fox and Jordan Fowler, and sculpture studio technician Michael Morrison were Chen's studio assistants during the residency. The Friends of the Library at the College of Charleston are sponsors of Long-Bin Chen's residency and installation.
