L'Associazione Culturale Il Cornetto Acustico, con sede in via San Giovanni, nello storico quartiere di Villanova, è una bella novità nel panorama culturale di Cagliari. Ne parliamo col Presidente dell'associazione, Giampiero Spanedda. Giampiero Spanedda, Presidente dell'Associazione Culturale Il Cornetto Acustico, ci racconta della nascita dell'associazione, dalla fondazione con un gruppo di amici alla scelta della sede in via San Giovanni 219, nello storico quartiere di Villanova, fino alla curiosa origine del nome. Proprio quest'ultimo è l'aspetto più interessante che lega i destini dell'associazione a quelli di un libro scritto da Leonora Carrington intitolato, appunto, Il Cornetto Acustico. Nel corso dell'intervista, Giampiero ci ha fatto conoscere questa straordinaria figura di scrittrice e pittrice, consigliando al nostro pubblico alcuni testi e dipinti dell'artista. L'associazione è nata il 29 febbraio del 2024 dall'idea di un gruppo di amici con l'idea di aprire un nuovo spazio culturale a Cagliari e con l'obiettivo di dare spazio ad artisti poco conosciuti al grande pubblico anche se di grande talento. La scelta di collocare la sede nel quartiere storico di Villanova ha avuto un impatto fondamentale nella crescita di questa bella realtà culturale. Giampiero, nel corso dell'intervista, ci ha parlato del rapporto sempre più stretto con gli abitanti di Villanova, un quartiere dove sono presenti ancora qualche bottega artigiana e qualche bed & breakfast di troppo. L'associazione tra passato e presente Nel corso del suo primo anno di vita Il Cornetto Acustico ha organizzato numerose e interessantissime attività culturali che spaziano in diversi campi: dalle mostre d'arte ai concerti di musica (dalla musica classica al jazz) passando per conferenze riguardanti temi di più stretta attualità affidate a studiosi di grande competenza. Il presidente dell'associazione ci ha ricordato la conferenza presentata dal Professor Gessa o, più recentemente, quella di Roberto Zanata, Professore di Tecnologia del Suono e della Multimedialità del Conservatorio di Cesena e Rimini, riguardante i rischi e le potenzialità dell'intelligenza artificiale nella composizione musicale; entrambe hanno richiamato un numero importante di partecipanti. Per quanto riguarda le mostre d'arte, il 7 maggio è stata inaugurata la mostra di pittura di Attilio Della Maria, un'istituzione nel panorama pittorico cagliaritano, dal titolo Cronache dai Metamondi e che è stata visitabile fino al 25 maggio. Tra le sfide per il futuro dell'associazione culturale c'è senz'altro quella di coinvolgere sempre di più un pubblico giovane cercando di dare vita ad una collaborazione con gli studenti del Conservatorio di Cagliari, che potranno trovare nei locali del Cornetto Acustico un luogo suggestivo per la loro arte. Insomma, ad un anno dalla fondazione, l'associazione culturale Il Cornetto Acustico si sta rivelando una delle realtà culturali più interessanti e affascinanti di Cagliari.

About Tere Derbez Tere Derbez was born in Mexico City, has her art studio at San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, and Scottsdale, Arizona; since she was a child, she has showed her love for painting. As a teenager she began her studies at the Institute of Fine Arts of San Luis Potosí, where she cultivated a deep friendship with teacher Raúl Gamboa, a contemporary of Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Rufino Tamayo, and from whom she learned the basics of drawing and the secrets of painting, and whom Tere Derbez considers her mentor.  However, her interest in painting and writing never ceases. Since 1995, she has dedicated her full time to her passion; painting and writing, always looking for new forms and techniques of expression. Her painting style leads towards surrealism, having Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington as role models. She describes herself as a passionate woman who loves all her experiences, recognizing that in the face of people, essentially in their eyes, their soul is reflected. She believes that at this time Mexico needs a new stream of artists that need support to be able to dedicate themselves fully to the creation of their works.  As a writer, she writes weekly in two newspapers in Mexico: El Sol de San Luis y Del Bajio, and monthly in Hominis Magazine. She has written two books of poems, and the novel «El Ángel de Sofía». She also has a foundation called «El Ángel de Sofía», which is focused on helping young people and adults from marginalized areas, to help to realize their dreams of life by promoting education, art and sports. The foundation puts special attention on the area of mental health. Tere currently collaborates in the Huasteca Potosina and the Sierra Tarahumara as well as in San Luis Potosí, where a Cultural Program was started and a «Cultural and Arts Center» was created in an abandoned market.  Episode Notes  00:00 Intro  07:12 Lesson 1: Life starts with family, and it ends with you  10:45 Lesson 2: How to overcome difficulties in life as a single parent  16:07 Lesson 3: Not everything that shines is made of gold  18:03 Lesson 4: Seven jobs will bring you 9 misfortunes  20:29 Lesson 5: Don't expect anything from anyone  23:45 Affiliate Break  24:35 Lesson 6: Don't control, let it go  29:14 Lesson 7: Love is all you need  32:38 Lesson 8: Learn how to use your energy  36:45 Lesson 9: How to love your life as you grow older  40:39 Lesson 10: The importance of Mindfulness

"Worldbuilding Through Memory and Myth: Elias Hernandez on Storytelling, Surrealism, and the Legacy of Conflict" In this immersive episode of What's My Thesis?, host Javier Proenza welcomes artist and educator Elias Hernandez, whose deeply narrative visual practice draws from Latin American surrealism, video game aesthetics, and inherited stories of displacement and resilience. A recent MFA graduate from USC and collaborator with cult streetwear label Brain Dead, Hernandez charts a complex universe in his paintings—populated by star-bearing knights, sentient castles, and time-traveling wizards—where memory, mythology, and trauma are rendered in fantastical allegory. Born in Mountain View and raised between the Bay Area and Sunnyvale, Hernandez reflects on a childhood steeped in card games like Magic: The Gathering, which sparked his fascination with visual storytelling. These early interests evolved into a practice that explores “the burden and blessing” of cultural inheritance—from Salvadoran family histories shaped by civil war to folkloric Catholic imagery and Latin American feminist surrealism. In conversation, Hernandez discusses how drawing, teaching, and game-inspired worldbuilding intersect in his creative process. His paintings act as sequential mythologies—each one building upon the last—presenting a nonlinear, symbolic narrative of a hero's journey infused with biblical allusions, cosmic cults, and archetypes of good and evil. These compositions resist linear interpretation, instead inviting viewers into a slow unfolding of meaning that echoes oral tradition and pre-Columbian storytelling. As Hernandez explains, his work is not overtly political, yet it is politicized by its very existence within American contemporary art spaces. Drawing from artists like Otto Dix, Diego Rivera, and Leonora Carrington, his practice embodies a transhistorical dialogue where surrealist aesthetics and contemporary iconography converge—memes, murals, and medieval allegory colliding in a uniquely generational vision. Highlights include: How early exposure to fantasy media and tabletop gaming shaped his narrative sensibility The role of inherited trauma in the creative act and character development Reflections on his time as a bilingual educator in Oakland and the visual languages of immigrant youth A detailed breakdown of his fictional universe, including moon-worshipping cults and star-forging armor The spiritual dimensions of drawing and ceramics as ritual practices Insight into Central American cultural erasure and mythological reimaginings Hernandez's work transcends medium and genre, bridging pop culture with ancient cosmology, and positioning painting as a vehicle for complex identity expression and speculative folklore. This episode is an invitation into the mind of a worldbuilder—one who channels collective memory into realms where the past haunts, empowers, and transforms.

Nos hemos encontrado en la Exposición "1924 : otros surrealismos" ( Fundación Mapfre / Madrid) a Remedios Varo . Nació en Anglés (Girona)  en 1908, fue de las primeras mujeres y de las más jóvenes en entrar en la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando en Madrid junto a otros grandes como Pîcasso, Dalí o Maruja Mallo. Fue una moderna, una mujer sofisticada. Se unió pronto a los surrealistas, primero a los logicofobistas catalanes y tras la guerra civil, como pareja del poeta francés Benjamin Péret, entra de lleno en el círculo de André Bretón en París. Allí conoce a una persona clave en su vida posterior que será la compañera de generación Leonora Carrington. La llegada de los nazis a Francia le hace huir de nuevo vía Marsella y Marruecos destino México. Es en México donde, juntos a otros exiliados europeos, donde  encuentra su sitio , aunque pasó también unos años junto a su madre y su hermano en Venezuela. En el país del Orinoco hizo los míticos carteles para la farmacéutica Bayern que son ya parte de su obra. Pero volvió a México donde estaban todos sus amigos y amigas, especialmente Leonora Carrington con la que compartía todo. Y es en la década de los 50, cuando se casa con el austriaco Walter Gruen, el gran momento de Remedios Varo, cuando se puede dedicar exclusivamente a la pintura al tener una seguridad económica. Son sus años de mayor producción hasta su temprana muerte en 1963. Se convierte en la artista consentida de México. Sus exposiciones tenían más éxito en México que las de Frida Khalo. Sus mundos mágicos y su calidad artística llegaron mucho al público. Sus obras ya se pueden ver en los grandes museos del mundo, aunque a su país de nacimiento, España, siguen llegando con cuenta gotas. Remedios Varo está considerada uno de los grandes nombres del arte surrealista. Hoy hemos viajado su vida con la ayuda de Estrella De Diego, comisaria de la exposición de la Fundación Mapfre  "1924: otros surrealismos"  ,  las gestoras culturales e historiadoras Teresa Arcq y Alma Reza, el periodista experto en arte Pablo Ortiz de Zárate "el artesano" , Albert Roura , concejal de turismo de Anglés (Girona) , Vicenç Batalla, corresponsal de la SER en Francia, y Alejandra Rohr y Pepe Rubio, guionista de Hoy por Hoy (Cadena SER). 

Estrella de Diego Otero experta en artistas del Surrealismo es la comisaria de la exposición "1924 Otros Surrealismos" en la Fundación Mapfre que podrás visitar hasta el 11 de mayo donde podrás explorar mundos mágicos a partir de la piedra filosofal, mundos oníricos, misticismos, pesadillas. Temáticas que inspiraban desde el inconsciente a artistas como Gala, Remedios Varo, Maruja Mallo, Leonora Carrington u otros menos conocidos como Toyen. 

Quisiera haber sido bióloga, genetista, médica o científica. Pero al final fue periodista, aunque eso es lo que siempre fue, desde que era una niñita preguntona.A ella no le van a contar: se lanza a donde haya que lanzarse, para averiguar de primera mano lo que le interesa. Y luego se pone a escribir como una loca, sin poder pensar en nada más, sin dormir, hasta que logra darle forma a lo que contiene su curiosidad y su conocimiento.Francisco Toledo, Juan Soriano, Octavio Paz, Lola Olmedo, Leonora Carrington, Shimon Pérez, su entrañable amigo Lorenzo Servitje… La lista de sus entrevistados es enorme. Claro que no nos caben en este episodio los cientos de anécdotas que acumula.Se la pasa vaciando su talento en papel para narrar al mundo y también vaciándose de amores, volcada en detalles para la gente que quiere, que es muchísima y siempre suma más.No sé qué gana en ella, si lo talentosa o lo generosa. Siento que hay un empate. ¿Cuántas personas de tonos distintos nos vamos a topar en el camino? ¿Cuántos retos saturadísimos? ¿Cuántos escenarios y oportunidades luminosas? ¿Cuáles son los matices de nuestro talento único? Las vidas y carreras de las mujeres que aquí presento tienen miles de colores, como Comex.Para esta temporada vamos a usar las paletas recién lanzadas de Color Life Trends 2025. ¡Juguemos el juego del color! Dejemos que sus efectos impacten nuestros entornos y materialicen nuestros sueños y visiones.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the writer, critic, and author, Merve Emre. Currently the Shapiro-Silverberg Professor of Creative Writing and Criticism at Wesleyan University – and the Director of the Shapiro Center for Creative Writing and Criticism – Emre is also the acclaimed and award-winning author of numerous books. These include Paraliterary: The Making of Bad Readers in Postwar America; The Personality Brokers (selected as one of the best books of 2018 by the New York Times, and others); The Ferrante Letters (winner of the 2021 PROSE award for literature). A holder of prizes in Literary Criticism, Emre is also a contributing writer to The New Yorker, where she has written extensively on art and literature, from Leonora Carrington to Susan Sontag. But! The reason why we are speaking to Emre today is because she is also an ardent expert on Virginia Woolf and the wider Bloomsbury Group, having authored the stunningly beautiful – and informative – The Annotated Mrs. Dalloway, a book that brings alive Woolf's life and words, and contextualises the radical and pioneering lives of those in the Bloomsbury Group in the most effervescent ways. So today on the podcast, we are going to be discussing the sisters at the centre of this movement: Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf, women who were born into a Victorian society in London but who broke free of all traditions, who formed languages, both artistic and literary, that paved the way of modernism and modernist thinking in the UK and beyond. We are going to be delving into their life and work: looking at how they informed each other and visualised or put into words the world from their distinct and radical perspectives.

Artist and sculptor Permindar Kaur moves between the Black British Arts Movement, the Young British Artists (YBAs), and Barcelona in the 1990s, exploring the ambiguities of Indian and South Asian cultural identities, Nothing is Fixed is an idea that has grown from ⁠Permindar Kaur's 2022 exhibition at The Art House in Wakefield⁠. For their latest, in Southampton, the artist brings together the public and the private, transforming the various gallery spaces into bedrooms of a home. Beds, chairs, tables, and teddy bears - ambiguous, often unsettling, domestic objects - populate the space, as well as never-before-shown works on paper, which underline the role of drawing in their sculptural practice. Born in Britain to Sikh parents of Indian heritage, Permindar is often exhibited in the context of the Black British Arts Movement, showing with leading members of Blk Art Group like Eddie Chambers. The artist also describes their wider interactions with the ⁠YBAs, exhibitions in Japan, and influences from their formative years of practice in Barcelona, Spain, Canada, and Sweden. We discuss encounters with artists like Mona Hatoum and Eva Hesse, Helen Chadwick and Félix González-Torres, and more surrealist storytellers like Leonora Carrington and Paula Rego, alongside the material-focussed practices of Arte Povera. We trouble the category of ‘British Asian artists', exploring Permindar's work with and within particular Indian and Punjabi diasporic communities in Nottingham, Sheffield, and Glasgow, in Scotland. With series like Turbans, Permindar describes how their practice has changed over time, navigating questions of identity, representation, and the binary of non-/Western/European art practices. They share their research on a site-specific public sculpture for Southampton's yearly Mela Festival, a long-established event which represents, rather than ‘reclaims' space for, different South Asian cultures - and lifelong learning, from younger artists. Permindar Kaur: Nothing is Fixed ran at John Hansard Gallery in Southampton until September 2024, closing with the launch of an exhibition book of the same name, supported by Jhaveri Contemporary in Mumbai. Sculpture in the Park is on view at Compton Verney in Warwickshire until 2027. Kaur also presented work in A Spirit Inside, an exhibition of works from the Women's Art Collection and the Ingram Collection, at Compton Verney until September 2024. Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2024 opens in venues across Plymouth on 28 September 2024, and travels to the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London from 15 January 2025.

Ospite della 122° puntata di Illuminismo Psichedelico – andata in scena al WAO Festival venerdì 16 agosto 2024 – è stata Denise de Gouges, psiconauta, esperta di relazioni internazionali e studiosa di scienze sociali. Durante la puntata si è parlato del rapporto delle donne con la psichedelia, osservando come queste possano differire per ragioni fisiologiche (per esempio per le influenze di ormoni, feromoni e fenomeno del “contact high”) quanto sociali. C'è ancor oggi una sproporzione in ambito psichedelico nel contributo di uomini e donne, come dimostra ad esempio la classifica di Psychedelic Invest delle 100 persone più influenti nella psichedelia nel 2021, in cui troviamo solo 17 donne. Dal 2008 The Women's Visionary Council prova infatti a dare una risposta alla mancanza di visibilità delle voci femminili nell'ambito psichedelico. La puntata è stata anche un'occasione per passare in rassegna il ruolo di alcune donne nella storia della psichedelia, partendo da figure “mitiche” come María Sabina, Valentina Pavlovna e Amanda Feilding, passando per Ann Shulgin, Susi Ramstein e Cynthia Palmer fino ad arrivare a personaggi mitologici, come Eva e Santa Teresa D'Avila oppure a grandi artiste, tra cui Elsa Morante, Leonora Carrington, Anaïs Nin e molte altre.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed writer and novelist, Chloe Aridjis, speaking on her friend, LEONORA CARRINGTON! Born in New York City, raised in the Netherlands and then Mexico City, Aridjis is a writer of numerous award-winning books, including three novels: Book of Clouds, Asunder, and Sea Monsters. Aridjis is also the author of numerous books and essays, including an A–Z profile on the artist we are very excitingly discussing today: Leonora Carrington, the great late British-born painter, who ran away to Paris in her teens before escaping Europe at the outbreak of the Second World War, and settling in Mexico City in the 40s, where she lived until her death in 2011. And it was in Mexico City that Aridjis got to know the surrealist, who she had tea with on Sundays and noted their extroardnary conversations that she published in, among others, Tea and Creatures with Leonora Carrington: A Photo Essay… a beautiful piece that looks at their friendship. In 2015, Aridjis went on to co-curate a major exhibition of Carrington's work at Tate Liverpool, affirming her as one of the greatest and most relevant artists to today's world. This episode is going to be slightly different to usual, as back in 2019 – for one of our first ever podcast episodes – we discussed the life of Leonora Carrington with her biographer cousin, Joanna Moorhead. We also discussed Carrington briefly with writer Deborah Levy – so do check those out. But! Today I couldn't be more excited to be delving into Arjidis's memories with the artist, uncovering the mystical symbolism that populates her work – from vegetables to cats, eggs to giants, cauldrons to kitchens, underworlds to hybridised figures – her friendships, character, and of course her paintings and writings, too.

With his brand new collection, THE WEREWOLF AT DUSK and Other Stories (Liveright), David Small brings us a trio of stories about the beast within (that is, within the heart, within the psyche, and within the body politic). We talk about the on-and-off 40-year history of this collection, the themes of transformation and aging that suffuse these stories, and the schism in Leonora Carrington's estate that nearly derailed the whole project. We get into the the challenges of adapting prose fiction into comics, his move from graphic novels (think Stitches and Home After Dark) to short stories, why he's come to love drawing digitally, and just how bad most surrealist fiction can be. We also discuss the decline in kids' books, our respective life changes from 2020's COVID check-in, his Truman Capote kick, how we deal with monstrous artists, how hard he has to work to make his drawings look like they were done in 15 seconds, and a lot more. • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal and via our e-newsletter

John J. Miller is joined by Joanna Moorhead to discuss Leonora Carrington's book, 'The Hearing Trumpet.'

Hello, listeners! I've got a special surprise for you this week. I've been waiting to share this amazing conversation that I enjoyed recently with expat and author Joanna Moorhead about her fantastic new biography, Surreal Spaces: The Life and Art of Leonora Carrington. The British-born artist and writer Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) is one of the vanguards in the history of women artists and the history of Surrealism. The interests of this visionary—feminism, ecology, the arcane and the mystical, the interconnectedness of everything—are now shared by many. Challenging the conventions of her time, Carrington abandoned family, society, and England to embrace new experiences and forge a unique artistic style in Europe and the Americas. In this evocative illustrated biography, writer and journalist Joanna Moorhead traces her cousin's footsteps, exploring the artist's life, loves, friendships, and work. Leading readers on a personal journey across Britain, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the United States, and Mexico, Surreal Spaces describes the places and experiences that would become etched in Carrington's memory and be echoed, sometimes decades later, in her art and writing—whether her grandmother's kitchen with its giant stove; a remote Cornish hideaway where she holidayed with Max Ernst, Lee Miller, and Man Ray; the Left Bank of Paris; an asylum in Santander, Spain; New York, where she lived among other European exiles; or Mexico City, her final sanctuary. “Houses are really bodies,” Carrington wrote in her novella The Hearing Trumpet. “We connect ourselves with walls, roofs and objects just as we hang on to our livers, skeletons, flesh and blood streams.” Featuring photographs, drawings, and paintings of the spaces that so richly influenced Carrington's work, Surreal Spaces is an intimate and vivid portrait of a fascinating artist. About the author: Joanna Moorhead is a British journalist and author whose critically acclaimed memoir, The Surreal Life of Leonora Carrington, chronicles her relationship with Carrington, her cousin. Moorhead writes for the Guardian, the Observer, the Times (London), and many other publications. Please enjoy this bonus episode, featuring my discussion with Joanna.

Despite being among the most-celebrated surrealists of the last century, British born artist Leonora Carrington is still overlooked as compared to her male counterparts, some of whom were close friends and collaborators. One surrealist was even her husband for a time—the famous painter Max Ernst. But over the years, more and more people are coming to know Carrington's work. The 2022 Venice Biennale was named after one of her books, titled The Milk of Dreams, about which curator Cecilia Alemani said "it describes a magical world where life is constantly re-envisioned through the prism of the imagination, and where everyone can change, be transformed, and become something or someone else." This kind of a liberated self was a cornerstone of Carrington's outlook on the world and a key to understanding the fascinating images she created. Her life story is one of world building. Dissatisfied with her well-to-do family's vision for her future, Carrington sought freedom through boundary-pushing art. After being kicked out of schools she eventually fell in with the Surrealists in Paris in the 1930s, who shared her thinking about art making and also how to live. But a dark era was dawning in Europe, and ultimately Carrington ended up in a mental asylum where she underwent a brutal treatment. And so she left Europe, her family, and everything behind her, and eventually landed in Mexico, where she found the liberation that she was searching for. She'd spend the rest of her days there, and she would become a national treasure. In many ways, she never looked back. If you look at Carrington's paintings, there is a constant haunting from both her youth and the rooms, spaces, and landscapes of Europe. Though totally estranged for decades from her family in Europe, one day, a family member came knocking on her door. It was a cousin, Joanna Moorhead, who had heard by chance of Carrington and went to tracke her down in Mexico City. Moorhead, a journalist whose writing has appeared in The Guardian and The Observer, among other titles, came to know Carrington very well over long nights and days of talking, and she wrote a book in 2017 called The Surreal Life of Leonora Carrington that chronicles her relationship with her cousin and her cousin's life and achievements in art. Moorhead has returned in more ways than one to Carrington's world since the artist died in 2011. Her newest book, out on August 22nd, delves into those spaces that defined Carrington's life and her paintings. Called Surreal Spaces, The Life and Art of Leonora Carrington, the book is a result of Moore's careful study of Carrington's intricate works. This week on the podcast, Europe editor Kate Brown speaks to Joanna about the places that formed and informed the work of such an important artist.

"A CORNETA" é um clássico da literatura fantástica, um marco do surrealismo e um livro extraordinário. A influência da mitologia celta, de criaturas mágicas, da cultura pré-hispânica e do tarô tornam a obra de Leonora Carrington subversiva e ousada. Para conversar sobre esse livro audacioso e revolucionário, a jornalista e crítica literária Gabriela Mayer participa de um bate-papo com Fabiane Secches, que traduziu a obra para o português.

Our story for this episode comes from our friends at the Dead Ladies Show NYC, which is organized and hosted by Molly O'Laughlin Kemper with Sheila Enright.  Photographer, professional eccentric and guinea pig lover JR Pepper tells the tale of artist Leonor Fini, a glamorous, passionate iconoclast (and cat lover) with a brilliant creative mind who was fiercely independent — at a time when women were allowed to be muses, not painters. Fini is often called a Surrealist, but she didn't consider herself one of their group due to their misogynistic attitudes, which included viewing women as either a childlike muse or femme fatale. Her paintings utilized the female gaze, and often featured catlike and other creatures inspired by Fini's own appearance, accompanied by languid men. Leonor Fini's life was as rule-breaking as her art; she had many lovers, and spent much of her life living in a happy throuple — along with about 20 cats.  DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone to introduce this episode's featured Dead Lady.  For more on Leonor Fini, please visit our episode notes at:  https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/04/13/podcast-62-leonor-fini/ For DLS NYC info and tickets, sign up to their newsletter here: https://tinyletter.com/DeadLadiesShowNYC or follow them on Instagram @deadladiesnyc Find JR Pepper on Instagram @girlduality  and listen to her talk about Mae West here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2022/08/17/podcast-56-mae-west/ Our episode on surrealist Leonora Carrington is here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2018/01/25/podcast-5-leonora-carrington/ Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Tri-Tachyon/the-kleptotonic-ep/little-lily-swing Thanks for listening!

Ben Luke talks to Marguerite Humeau about her influences—from writers to film-makers, musicians and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work.Humeau was born in 1986 in the French city of Cholet, near Nantes, and lives in London. She creates extraordinary sculptural environments in which the scientific and the speculative are fused. She acknowledges the perilous present state of the planet and the future of humanity while exploring histories of life on earth across millennia, drawing on mainstream and fringe scientific theory, science fiction and various cultural phenomena, to create dramatic tableaux that are hugely distinctive in their visual language and subject matter. She asks fundamental questions about the world we inhabit and the meaning of human existence. She discusses her early love of the painting of Marlene Dumas, her awe at the work of Pierre Huyghe and how Nina Simone is an ongoing role model. She also reflects on her fascination with Leonora Carrington and the musicians Angel Bat Dawid and Bendik Giske. Plus, she gives insight into her studio life and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: “What is art for?”Marguerite Humeau: meys, White Cube Bermondsey, London, until 14 May; Orisons, Black Cube, San Luis Valley, Colorado, 24 June-June 2025.

THIS WEEK on the GWA Podcast, for the very special 100th EPISODE, we interview art historian and leading curator of Surrealist and feminist art in Mexico and beyond, Tere Arcq on REMEDIOS VARO! Born in Spain, and raised in a strict Catholic schooling – from which she rebelled – Varo, in 1937, moved to Paris to join the Surrealists. After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War and unable to return to her home country, Varo, by 1941, escaped to Mexico. It was here where she found refuge, befriending the likes of Leonora Carrington and Kati Horna, and made the most extraordinary and meticulous paintings. Often exploring alchemy and magic, her paintings tend to focus on a single, isolated figure in an otherworldly realm. With striking features – allegedly based on her own looks – her protagonists, often female, appear like hybridised creatures. One of my favorites is (image 1) – The Call, from 1961, presents a woman, holding a pestle and mortar, walking through a corridor of tree-like figures who meditavely loom by the side, emphasising the sounds of silence, an aura of mystery, and the idea of practising something in secret! Whenever I see a painting by Remedios Varo, I feel transfixed by their mystical and metaphysical atmosphere. They are meticulously rendered - almost renaissance-like - works of these women who seem to be trapped in towers, on a quest to reach a higher state of consciousness or living in another surrealist world. They are at once haunting, mesmeric, glowing and magical. A professor in art history based in Mexico City, Tere Arcq has been the Chief Curator of the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico and has curated exhibitions on women surrealists around the world. In 2012 she curated In Wonderland: The Adventures of Women Surrealists LACMA in addition to exhibitions at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Quebec and here in the UK where she was a co-curator of the 2010 exhibition Surreal Friends: Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo and Kati Horna at Pallant House gallery. With more curatorial projects in the pipeline, very excitingly, Tere is a co-curator of the upcoming retrospective at the Chicago Art Institute for summer 2023 on the artist we are very excitingly talking about today, the Surrealist Remedios Varo.  -- 2021 New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/24/obituaries/remedios-varo-overlooked.html  NMWA biography: https://nmwa.org/art/artists/remedios-varo/  2000 New York Times on her scientific interest: https://www.nytimes.com/2000/04/11/science/scientific-epiphanies-celebrated-on-canvas.html  Artnews: https://www.artnews.com/feature/who-is-remedios-varo-and-why-is-she-important-1234574762/  Website with all her works: https://totallyhistory.com/remedios-varo-paintings/ Guardian review of Pallant House exhibitions Surreal Friends with Leonora Carrington and Kati Horna https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/jun/18/surrealist-muses-who-roared-mexico Eyes on the table (1938) https://totallyhistory.com/remedios-varo-paintings/ Harmony (1956)https://usaartnews.com/auctions/the-mystical-scene-by-spanish-surrealist-remedios-varo-set-a-world-record The Juggler (The Magician), (1956)https://www.moma.org/collection/works/291307 Audio guide: https://www.moma.org/audio/playlist/296/3792 Celestial Pablum (1958) https://brooklynrail.org/2017/10/criticspage/Hidden-Figures  Triptych: Towards the Tower (1961) Embroidering the Earth's Mantle (1961) The Escape (1962)https://www.gallerywendinorris.com/artists-collection/remedios-varo https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/24/obituaries/remedios-varo-overlooked.html -- ENJOY!
