Episode 76 features New York based David Shrobe. He creates multi-layered portraits and assemblage paintings made in part from everyday materials that he finds in multiple geographies, and especially from around his familial home. He disassembles furniture, separating wood from fabric and recombines them as supports for collage, painting, and drawing. Through these various modes of production his work brings notions of identity, history, and memory into question, while challenging conventions of classical portraiture. Shrobe produces new narratives, fragmented and nonlinear, that feel intimate and personal without being anchored to a specific time or place. David Shrobe (b.1974, New York) lives and works in New York. He holds an MFA and a BFA in painting from Hunter College. He is an alumnus of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and was a Joan Mitchell Artist Teaching Fellow. His work was recently included in group shows such as, PUNCH at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, Los Angeles, and New York; Embody at Mandeville Gallery at Union College, New York; Bronx Calling: The Fourth AIM Biennial, at the Bronx Museum, and in Harlem Postcards at the Studio Museum in Harlem. He has had solo exhibitions at Thierry Goldberg Gallery in New York; Jenkins Johnson Gallery in San Francisco, and The Sugar Hill Children's Museum in New York, among others. He has shown at numerous art fairs including EXPO Chicago, Untitled Miami Beach, and most recently, a solo booth at The Armory Show. Shrobe's work is held in the Permanent Collections of The Brooklyn Museum, New York; The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; The Block Museum, Evanston, Illinois; Union College, Schenectady, New York; Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon; and NSU Art Museum, Fort Lauderdale. Monique Meloche Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by New York born artist David Shrobe. Riding the Wind's Back, meticulously carved and painted assemblage structures investigate the coexistence of hybrid identities and notions of a collective remembrance reimagined.

The southeast Portland community of Eastmoreland has become the latest flashpoint for how this plays out.

Rick Bartow, one of the region's most striking and accomplished artists, died on Apr. 2 at the age of 69 from complications arising from congestive heart failure.Bartow's sculptures, paintings, and prints have shown everywhere from the White House to the Smithsonian, and they hang in museum collections around the country.His boldly colorful, emotive, and idiosyncratic works refuse to be contained by medium or style or even species. Inspired by his Native American heritage and travels to Mexico, Japan, and beyond, his works depict beings that blend the human and the animal. They are creatures on the cusp of the material and the spiritual world, like stories and myths made flesh."We all are given a gift," Bartow told Think Out Loud last year during a major retrospective of his work at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Eugene. "My job is to be an artist. As I tell my son, who's a hip-hop artist — I told him early on that we were given a blessing, and we were given a curse. Because sometimes it's not much fun, but you have to do it."When we first heard Bartow was not well in February, we invited Bartow's longtime friend and gallerist, Charles Froelick, into the studio to talk about his legacy. You can hear the conversation above.Read the full story: http://www.opb.org/artsandlife/article/rick-bartow-stunning-nw-artist-dies-at-69

Producer Aaron Scott visited Fergison in his cluttered studio.Burke Jam's Natural Music - 42:52Sound artist Burke Jam uses landscapes as the raw material for new music.
