What if embracing uncertainty could unlock your artistic potential? Inspired by Jack Whitten's "Notes from the Woodshed," Nathan Terborg embarks on a reflective journey through the philosophical depths of creativity and doubt. This episode unpacks Whitten's profound insights, shared through compelling quotes and personal anecdotes, revealing how his struggles with self-doubt and conviction resonate with our own artistic journeys. Nathan navigate's the beauty of complexity and the transformative power of journaling, drawing from Whitten's 1987 journal entries. This episode emphasizes the significance of acknowledging emotions and using journaling as a tool for growth and introspection. By exploring Whitten's creative process, we highlight how embracing the daunting feeling of starting over can lead to profound artistic breakthroughs. The artist dive's into personal experiences of vulnerability, illustrating how recognizing our starting points allows us to move forward with intention, despite the shadows of uncertainty.Our journey continues with an exploration of Whitten's artistic intention and innovative techniques. Delving into his creative process reveals how intentionality and evolution drive artistic expression and how unconventional tools can become refined techniques. We reflect on the power of self-coaching and the potential benefits of documenting intuitive experiments. As we wrap up, the transformative potential of journaling stands out as a beacon for personal and professional insight, encouraging listeners to maintain clarity of vision while confronting challenges and negativity.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

"I had never seen anything like Forsythe's Choreography for Step Text, and I thought, “This is possible?”...The articulation, the structures, the musicality, and the curtain coming in and out was just radical and amazing. I just wanted to be a part of it. If you remain curious just about anything as an artist, you can make it compelling...it reminds me of what a beautiful visual artist, Jack Whitten, talks about. He said that when people ask me (him) what art is about, I (he) say its giving structure to feelings. Also this notion that we can give meaning to something without it being a singular narrative. Something can have an individualized meaning. If it is meaningful in the conveyance of the dancer, everyone seeing that dancer or the group of dancers performing will receive something different that resonates with them in their life."Jill Johnson is an internationally renowned dancer, choreographer, artistic director, educator, producer, stager, movement consultant, and advisor. Her leadership in the dance field brings into service over three and a half decades of experience and a vast knowledge of diverse repertoires and methodologies to realize visionary, world-class programming, develop the next generation of artist leaders, and reimagine how the arts engage, intersect, and interact with all people.

Host Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle/Olomidara Yaya discusses the theme of fear. From discussing how fear can be a motivator or immobilizing to what it means to lean into one's fears and invite them to sit down for tea, Hinkle/Yaya explores what it means to use fear as a medium within and outside of the studio and creative practice. She also reads an excerpt from November 20th, 1978 from Jack Whitten's Notes From The Woodshed, published by Hauser & Wirth Publishers; Reprint edition (August 28, 2018). The featured passage discusses Jack manifesting his ideal painting collaboration and trying to lean into the unknown whilst confessing his fears of what that means. Hinkle/Yaya discusses the difficulty of what it means to lean into our fears amongst socio-political upheaval and she shares two favorite quotes concerning fear and permission from Bob Marley and Lucille Clifton. She asks listeners to do something that scares the sh*t out of them in order to embrace fear and to allow it to be a catalyst to shake things up within their creativity.

Greta Chapin-McGill is a Black feminist artist who believes the narrative of her art is a living document, evolving in phases. The most important lesson she says she has learned has been "to get out of my own way and let the art lead me.” She is drawn to artists, male and female, whose sensibilities are able to look intimately at the feminine mystic. “Women express openly among themselves and in every venue they inhabit emotion and spirituality," Greta says. To her, feminism means having the unparalleled physical strength literally to push humanity forward. "Feminism silently and most profoundly influences my work, she says. "Women are the species I know best.” Reared in Washington, D.C., Greta has lived in New York, New Mexico, and Firenze, Italy. “My work is abstractly real. The techniques are driven by classical art 'isms,' indigenous tribal art, and my own unique ancestral DNA. I spend time reading, studying, and collecting mentors to further my art," she says. Her great influences include Wilfredo Lam, Picasso, Matisse, Leon Berkowitz, Alma Thomas, and contemporary artists with whom she converses with about art, politics, and concepts of life, such as Lillian Burwell, the late Jack Whitten, Oliver Lee Jackson, Akili Anderson, Alonzo Davis, and Indigenous artist Patricia Michaels.“I am driven to tell the story of my time through the eyes of a Black American woman, a feminist and global citizen,” Greta says.

On this week's Talk Art, we're feeling the POWER of LOVE! Russell & Robert chat to the captivating superstar duo of Ellie Goulding and Caspar Jopling from their home in Oxfordshire.As passionate art collectors, we learn about the artists they admire and collect including Rebecca Warren, Julie Mehretu, Tracey Emin, Donna Huanca, Raymond Pettibon, George Roy, Wolfgang Tillmans, Jack Whitten, Raqib Shaw, Cy Gavin, Christina Quarles and Ellie’s favourite - a neon of a double cross by Jonathan Horowitz in rainbow colours. We hear about the shyness of their first date visiting two exhibitions in London: Anselm Kiefer at White Cube followed by Robert Rauschenberg at Tate Modern. As their relationship grew, visiting exhibitions has become an integral part of their life as well as art fairs like Frieze and Art Basel!Ellie discusses her dedication to female artists and how her art collection has evolved since meeting Caspar, the works she used to collect were “dark stuff” gothic in style like ship wrecks or skeletons, skulls or ghosts! Whilst Caspar reminisces about his first art purchase growing up of a poster by Sir Terry Frost, his admiration for his uncle the legendary gallerist Jay Jopling (White Cube), how he advises his friends to support and collect art, and how he even experimented with screen printing and painting during his teens inspired by Rauschenberg, Richard Prince and Andy Warhol.With no motivation for investment, Ellie feels a close correlation between the art she loves and the songs she writes, something she explored whilst writing her forthcoming new album 'Brightest Blue': “I love the idea that you can buy something, that I can stare at for a long time and then it could maybe draw a song or a lyric out of me”. The album's title directly inspired by a Doug Wheeler artwork the couple saw at David Zwirner's gallery in New York. The intense installation of a blue room was “like walking into another world”.Art also inspires her music's visuals, collaborating with creative director Imogen Snell as well as photographers Louie Banks, Ronan Park and Rankin. We discuss her musical collaborator SerpentWithFeet who appears on her new album but also recently sang at her and Caspar's wedding in Yorkshire. We remember her collaborator the late rapper Juice Wrld and the impact of his passing on artists like Katherine Bernhardt and the international art and music communities.Finally we discuss Caspar's experiences working for Sotheby's but also within the film industry, his current studying for his MBA at Oxford University, the recent news of the Gallery Climate Coalition and how the art world is approaching sustainability, online viewing rooms, the positives and negatives of buying art (and clothes) online, and the escapism in lockdown watching period drama Downtown Abbey as well as the joys of completing Kandinsky and Lichtenstein-inspired puzzles! Ellie's fourth studio album 'Brightest Blue' can be pre-ordered NOW, released in full on 17th July 2020!

2016 National Medal of Arts honoree, Jack Whitten, is best known for his paintings. This may be because his sculptures have never been visible to the public until now. The sculptures — inspired by the materials and traditions of Africa and ancient Greece — are now on view at the Baltimore Museum of Art in the exhibition Odyssey: Jack Whitten Sculpture. Kevin Tervala, the museum’s Associate Curator of African Art, tells us more about the artist and the exhibition.
