In this episode, I sit down with LaToya Ruby Frazier, a visionary artist whose work intersects social justice, cultural change, and the American experience. Recognized as one of Time 100's most influential people of 2024, LaToya shares insights into her groundbreaking practice, which blends photography, video, performance, and installation to amplify voices often excluded from dominant narratives.We explore the inspiration and meticulous process behind her latest installation, More Than Conquerors, currently on view at the Baltimore Museum of Art. LaToya discusses the vital role of community health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the systemic injustices they face, and the significance of honoring these unsung heroes through art.From her reflections on growing up in a steel town to her commitment to bridging the working class and creative sectors, LaToya offers a powerful perspective on the intersection of art and activism. Whether you're interested in socially engaged art, health equity, or the power of storytelling, this episode delivers an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation. Tune in to hear LaToya's vision for transformative, community-centered art. Photo Credit: Sean Eaton ★ Support this podcast ★

Episode No. 682 is a holiday clips episode featuring artist Leslie Martinez. Martinez is included within "Shifting Landscapes," which is at the the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York until January 2026. The exhibition considers how evolving political, ecological, and social issues motivate artists as they address the world around them (which is to say US artists are addressing land and landscape as they have since the days of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Thomas Cole.) The show was curated by Jennie Goldstein, Marcela Guerrero, and Roxanne Smith, with Angelica Arbelaez. Seven previous MAN Podcast guests are in the exhibition, including Robert Adams (Episode No. 41, 227, 555), Teresita Fernández, LaToya Ruby Frazier, An-My Lê, Patrick Martinez, Amalia Mesa-Bains, and Alison Saar. Martinez was previously featured in solo shows at MoMA PS1 in Queens, and the Blaffer Art Museum, University of Houston. Their work is in the collection of museums such as the Dallas Museum of Art, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta. For images, see Episode No. 635.

Opening this weekend at the Museum of Modern Art is the first wholistic survey of artist and activist LaToya Ruby Frazier, who was just named as one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2024. Frazier was born in the industrial down of Braddock, Pennsylvania, and travels to working class communities around the country using her art as a form of social documentary, from Flint, to Pittsburgh, to Baltimore. LaToya Ruby Frazier: Monuments of Solidarity is on view at MoMA from May 12 to September 7, and Frazier joins us to preview her exhibition.
This time, we're joined by the artist LaToya Ruby Frazier, just before the opening of her major new exhibition 'Monuments of Solidarity' at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. “This exhibition spiritually uplifts people,” she says. “It inspires people to be the change they need, but it also inspires them to be better human beings. To look beyond the self, to look beyond individualistic desires, to think about the fact that you are connected to an ecosystem and a world around you. People won't be the same. This is a transformative exhibition.” We delve into LaToya's faith and the impact of art on our lives, its power not only to shine light into the darkness, but to move through people and communities and so to create profound, lasting change. Enjoy.
Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, Emily chats with photographer and interdisciplinary artist Charles H. Lee.About Artist Charles Lee:Charles Lee is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, researcher and storyteller whose work exploits the fissures in the versions of U.S. history that we have been taught. His work confronts the fallacy of U.S. iconography and encourages critical dialogue questioning origins of American myths, the obfuscation of Black cultural creators and innovators from the historical archive and empowers Black viewers with a more accurate depiction of their histories and encourages the building of future histories. The stories offer insight into the notion of what it means to be a Black American today. The work rebuilds histories by uncovering truths that have been hidden. By unearthing these narratives the work also traces a lineage from deep in the historical past in order to move forward in the future as in the Ghanaian (Akan) principle of Sankofa. Whether it be film, photography, installation, sculpture or sound, Lee chooses whichever means of expression he sees fit for the dissemination of a feeling of belonging and identity. He is the recipient of the 2022 Edwin Anthony & Adelaine Boudreaux Cadogan Scholarship and Contemporary Art Award, All College Honors, Graduate Merit Scholarship, the 2021 Pabst Open Door Grant and is a 2022 Recology Artist in Residence. His work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. Lee's first solo exhibition, “Sweat & Dirt,” opens November 7th, 2023 at SF Camerawork.Visit Charles' Website: CharlesHLee.comFollow Charles on Instagram: @ohhh_so_siriusFor more on Charles' exhibit at SF Camerawork, CLICK HERE. --About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

À partir d'elle.Des artistes et leur mèreLE BAL, Parisdu 12 octobre 2023 au 25 février 2024Interview de Julie Héraut, Responsable Exposition et Recherche chez LE BAL, et commissaire de l'expositionpar Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 11 octobre 2023, durée 23'45, © FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/https://francefineart.com/2023/10/18/3490_a-partir-d-elle_le-bal/communiqué de pressecommissariat :Julie Héraut, Responsable Exposition et Recherche chez LE BAL« Sans doute je serai mal, tant que je n'aurai pas écrit quelque chose à partir d'elle ». Cette phrase de Roland Barthes dans son Journal de deuil en date du 15 décembre 1978, un peu plus d'un an après la mort de sa mère, annonce l'écriture au printemps 1979 de son célèbre ouvrage La Chambre claire. Essai théorique sur la nature du médium photographique, le texte s'articule autour d'une quête : retrouver, en image, la vérité du visage aimé, celui de sa mère disparue.La mère, dont le regard est certainement le premier miroir de soi mais aussi du monde qui nous entoure, reste l'un des motifs fondamentaux de l'histoire de l'art. Les oeuvres assemblées ici, éminemment distinctes tant par les contextes dans lesquelles elles ont été conçues (sociaux, géographiques, temporels) que par les approches formelles et esthétiques qui ont guidé leur réalisation, ont toutes en commun de dépasser le seul témoignage intime. Entre critique sociale, quête de soi, conjuration ou apaisement, qu'elles incarnent la réalité de la présence ou les effets de l'absence, toutes mettent en jeu la question de la filiation et ce qu'il en reste.Celle que nous croyons si bien connaître n'est-elle pas toujours une énigme, une image qui requiert un acte conscient, volontaire, de mise au point – Asareh Akasheh, Gao Shan, Dirk Braeckman, Hervé Guibert ? Son histoire, celle tue ou celle transmise, en héritons-nous – Anri Sala, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Michele Zaza, Karen Knorr ? Quand un éloignement physique s'impose, comment combler la distance – Mona Hatoum, Chantal Akerman ? Dans ces tête-à-tête, l'implication volontaire de la mère au sein des dispositifs formels imaginés par les artistes devient souvent propice à l'humour et à l'irrévérence – Ragnar Kjartansson, Ilene Segalove, Hannah et Bernhard Blume – quand ils ne sont pas l'occasion d'interroger, défier ou repenser les règles d'un ordre social et moral pesant voire annihilant – Michel Journiac, Christian Boltanski, Mark Raidpere. Enfin quand la mère tend à disparaitre – Jochen Gerz, Paul Graham, Pier Paolo Pasolini – ou qu'elle n'est déjà plus, comment se construit une nouvelle image – Lebohang Kganye, Sophie Calle, Rebekka Deubner, Ishiuchi Miyako, Hélène Delprat ?De personnage, la mère devient ici figure, d'accès au monde, de jeu, d'identification, mais aussi de perte et de nostalgie : « Pour vous livrer le fond de mon émoi, l'image de ma mère » – Samuel Beckett.Julie Héraut Hébergé par Acast.

This episode of the pod kicks off with Lindsay, David, and Elisabeth reflecting on how artworks have changed (or reinforced) their perspectives on what art is, and whether or not Elisabeth is really “auditioning” for the role of co-host. Starting at about 9:00, guest Mary Louise Schumacher kicks off the conversation with a reflection about witnessing Milwaukee artist Roy Staab joyfully re-discovering his own artwork while watching it get destroyed in a storm. Throughout the conversation, Mary Louise shares about her trajectory from political and technology reporter to art critic, to director of the forthcoming documentary film, Out of the Picture. She reflects on how art critics draw on a much more “embodied” kind of writing than other more objective forms of journalism. Out of the Picture arose out of asking the question “what does it mean to write about art today?” Turning her camera on the interesting people in the art world who are writing about art, in the process Mary Louise and her team of collaborators ended up documenting extraordinary changes in visual culture and media. Since the beginning of the film, over the last ten years, 'Art” has evolved to include NFTs, social movements, memes and monuments, (oh my!) and visual culture shapes how we see the world more than ever. Out of the Picture raises questions including: how are power and privilege conferred on voices within the art world? And the question of how precious the work of art criticism actually is. Mary Louise also reflects on how the simultaneous openness, intimacy, and obscurity of the Milwaukee art scene promotes a special kind of artistic thriving, and periods of richness within our arts ecosystem. She closes with a fantasy edict to instate an Arts & Culture Administrator for the City of Milwaukee to help Art to be more valued in our community.

We need water to live. But with rising seas and so many lacking clean water — water is in crisis and so are we. This hour, TED speakers explore ideas around restoring our relationship with water. Guests on the show include legal scholar Kelsey Leonard, artist LaToya Ruby Frazier, and community organizer Colette Pichon Battle.
In this episode, we talk with Aaron Turner about the place of identity in abstract photography and art. He discusses the inspiration behind his photographic projects, and why he chose to pursue abstraction as a medium of expression. Aaron shares the reasoning behind his decision to document his family and local community, while noting the issues that need to be considered when doing so. Aaron also talks about the experience of Black photographers following the death of George Floyd and emphasises the need to readdress the mainstream narrative of photographic history and its exclusion of Black photographers. What you'll find inside: On abstract artists who were connected to the Black Arts Movement: “On one side of their practise they were deemed, by their fellow Black artists, as not contributing to the cause. Again, because their work was kind of in that realm of geometric abstraction and so you don't see moments of, what we call now, Black joy. ... We are not painting an image, or depicting an image of Black dignity. You're painting triangles and squares and circles.” (7:10) “What the perception could be is that they're trying to pass as a white artist. But if you really look into their work, and the symbols and the choices that people use in their work. Like Howardena Pindell, for example, and why she used the circle. I encourage everyone to look that up, it's pretty fascinating. It comes from a place of her identity and her childhood. She's not an artist trying to pass for white.” (12:18) “The feedback that I got about documenting my own community and documenting my family was that it was not serious journalism, it was not serious work, right? It wasn't taken seriously... until you have a person like a Latoya Ruby Frazier, at least for me as an individual, I see myself in her, right? In terms of having like the wherewithal and the bravery to sort of do those things.” (16:28) “Now, I know this is probably true for a lot of photographers after what happened with George Floyd in Minnesota, and how people sorta had this - I don't even know what you would call it because there are so many things that have happened since - but now all of a sudden Black photographers are sought after globally. To sort of go into communities and make the work when people have been trying to say you should have been sending us there in the first place all these other years ago.” (26:31) “Just because I'm Black, doesn't mean I get all the rights and privileges of going into a Black community and documenting. I still have to do my job as a journalist, I still have to gain people's trust. I still have to be ethical up to my standards. You know, that's what I have to do with my family. Like I don't get to just raise the camera up to my family, right? They have to get comfortable with me doing those things.” (36:09) “Go back in history and ask: why are things the way they are?” (40:12) “Self-publish, get the work out there yourself, don't wait for a big publication to add authenticity to it, don't wait for someone else to deem it valuable. Find value in it yourself.” (46:17)“I think as photographers we have to move beyond what some people describe as photoland or the photo world. Because other things are happening around us and we have to be aware of those things to be more effective at what it is that we do.” (47:05)What does photo ethics mean to Aaron?“Do unto others as you would have them done unto you. That's a principle I was raised with and still live by to this day. It's not always easy to do that. It's not just as simple as saying that it's a different world when you act out and live that. ... I think being ethical is practising empathy, in the various ways that it's possible to do that. Put ourselves in other people's shoes but also I think self-awareness in all interactions with people. Like being aware of the role that you play or different power dynamics or what you're trying to accomplish by interacting with people. When you make an image of someone, what you're taking, what they're giving. When someone allows in their space, to spend time with them, you know, what they're giving up, what you're giving up, what they're taking, what you're taking. Maybe also like selflessness. Going into something, figuring out how it can benefit someone other than ourselves. I think that can go a long way. And so I think that also ties into, you know, why are we picking up the camera in the first place? Would we do it if we weren't paid for it? You know, how everyone kind of comes to that way of thinking, or that understanding for themselves based on their life and decisions. So that's what ethics is for me.” (43:07)Links:The Center for Photographers of Color Yesterday Once More Black AlchemyThe Black Arts Movement Frank BowlingHowardena PindellPassing by Nella Larsen The Imitation of LifeLatoya Ruby FrazierMatt EichReflections in Black by Deborah WillisEugene RichardsDorothea LangeGordon ParksRoy DeCaravaKerry James Marshall
Edinboro grad LaToya Ruby Frazier, associate professor of Photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and fellowship recipient of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s MacArthur Fellows Program, continues to make headlines for her work as a photographer and activist. In her 2019 address at the Edinboro University Commencement Ceremony, Frazier discussed the mission of her art and career, focusing on inequalities in education, economics and the environment. In this episode of "Tartan Talks" we look back to Frazier's address to the Class of 2019 where she inspired the next generation of Edinboro grads. And check out her most recent feature in the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/01/t-magazine/latoya-ruby-frazier-photography.html.
Episode No. 482 features curator Shawnya L. Harris and artist Marie Watt. Harris is the curator of "Emma Amos: Color Odyssey," a retrospective of Amos's career that opens Saturday, Jan. 30 at the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia. Amos was important in bringing second-wave feminism into American art, in addressing many American and art histories within her work, and in making work that synthesized her interest in printmaking, weaving and painting. "Emma Amos" will remain on view in Athens through April 25, when it will travel to the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, NY and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The show features about 60 paintings, prints and woven works. The show's outstanding catalogue, which features essays by Lisa Farrington, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Laurel Garber, Kay Walkingstick, and Phoebe Wolfskill, was published by the Georgia Museum of Art. It's available from GMOA for $40, and should be on Indiebound and Amazon soon. On the second segment, Marie Watt discusses her work on the occasion of "Companion Species" at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Museum of Native American History, both in Bentonville, Ark. (As of show-posting, Crystal Bridges is open; "Companion Species" will be on view there through May 24. MONAH has yet to announce its re-opening plans.) The exhibition spotlights and builds upon Watt's Companion Species (Speech Bubble), which Crystal Bridges recently acquired. Watt is a citizen of the Seneca Nation whose work often explores ideas related to community, history, storytelling. She often works in textile, including in works that are partially sewed by community-embracing sewing circles. She has had solo exhibitions at the National Museum of the American Indian, the Boise Art Museum, the Seattle Art Museum, the Missoula Art Museum, and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Washington State University. She sits on the board of the Portland (Ore.) Art Museum.

Artist LaToya Ruby Frazier spent five months living in Flint, Michigan, documenting the lives of those affected by the city's water crisis for her photo essay "Flint is Family." As the crisis dragged on, she realized it was going to take more than a series of photos to bring relief. In this inspiring, surprising talk, she shares the creative lengths she went to in order to bring free, clean water to the people of Flint.
Die Künstlerin LaToya Ruby Frazier lebte fünf Monate in Flint, Michigan. Sie dokumentierte das Leben der von der Wasserkrise der Stadt betroffenen Menschen in einer Fotoreportage mit dem Titel "Flint is Family". Da die Krise kein Ende nahm, wurde ihr klar, dass mehr nötig sein würde als eine Fotoserie, um den Menschen zu helfen.

Not gunna lie, i had a pretty big art crush on Rory Mulligan long before i met him to talk about his work for this show. I remember first discovering his work on the J&L Books website in the special edition section. They had published a small book of his work in an edition of 10 called Freddie. You couldn’t find it anywhere, but there were enough pictures on the site to get a feel for what he was up to. But I remember thinking to myself - what exactly was he up to?There was a strange, dark, melancholic but humorous tone to his photos. There was a quality in them that i felt reflected a certain tradition of documentary style art photography, but his voice was lyrical was uncanny in all of them. As I’ve gone to speak with photographers for this show, Rory’s name has often come up as someone who’s work has had a big influence on them - especially some of the younger ones.Rory got his MFA at Yale, has had solo shows in the US and Japan, and his work has been featured in Blind Spot, Newspaper and MATTE Magazines to name a few. Rory is a master printer too - the go to for Latoya Ruby Frazier, Tod Papageorge, Justine Kurland and Mark Steinmetz - if those four names don’t give you any sense of a level of quality demanded in their work, I really don’t know who does. All traditional black and white hand printing, so delicate and subtle and nuanced - a fine art unto itself...We got together at his studio in in an abandoned aerosol spray can factory in Yonkers, New York, the same town which he grew up in. That landscape of his childhood is the same one that he continues to explore in his work today…. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
