Ed Templeton is a professional skateboarder, contemporary artist, and photographer. A teen skate prodigy from Orange County, California, Ed turned pro in 1990, just before graduating high school. He did a lot of touring for skate demos, along the way picking up a camera and documenting the scene around him. He painted and drew, and later incorporated his artwork and graphics for Toy Machine, the skateboard company he founded in 1994, which he continues to own and manage. Templeton's visual artwork first gained recognition in the late 1990s as part of the Beautiful Losers collective loosely gathered around Aaron Rose's Alleged Gallery on Manhattan's Lower East Side. He and his wife Deanna—also a photographer—are the subjects of the 2000 Mike Mills film, Deformer. Templeton's subject matter focuses on the ethos of suburban and street life, which sometimes includes beach culture, surfers, and surfing. He has published over thirty books and zines of his photographs and artwork, including one of his most famous titles, “Teenage Smokers.” His work has been shown in galleries and museums around the world, most recently at the Long Beach Museum of Art, in an exhibition titled: Wires Crossed: The Culture of Skateboarding, 1995-2012. In this episode of Soundings, Templeton and Jamie Brisick talk about crafting a sustainable career as a skateboarder, capitalism, skateboarding's DIY ethos, documenting skate culture, becoming a painter, identity, individualism, and Mark Gonzalez.

Episode No. 681 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Tidawhitney Lek. Lek is featured in "Spirit House" at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. The exhibition considers how 33 contemporary artists of Asian descent challenge the boundary between life and death through art, including how the spiritual relates to diaspora, connections to ancestral homelands, and the experience of feeling present within multiple cultures and multiple geographies. The show's curatorial framework was inspired by spirit houses, small devotional structures found throughout Thailand that provide shelter for the supernatural. The exhibition was curated by Aleesa Pitchamarn Alexander with Kathryn Cua. It is on view through January 26, 2025. An excellent exhibition catalogue, titled "Spirit House: Hauntings in Contemporary Art of the Asian Diaspora,"  was published by the Cantor and Gregory R. Miller & Co.

The man, identified as 61-year-old Michael Shaun Ross, was resting in front of the roll-up garage at the station when he was struck. Currently, no charges are being brought against the firefighters. The mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, was indicted on Thursday, Sept. 26 on five federal charges. All the charges relate to public corruption, including bribery and conspiracy. Even though he is facing a 57-page indictment, Adams says he will continue running business as usual. He urges the people of New York City to listen to his defense before making assumptions, saying he was not surprised by these charges. There are many alleged actions within the indictment such as taking illegal contributions for his campaign and receiving international luxuries in exchange for exercising his power. Apalachee High School reopened on Sept. 24 after the fatal mass shooting earlier in the month. Classes will be half days and will return to full days after fall break on Oct. 14.

Although law enforcement, counselors and therapy dogs are on-site to make students feel safe, concerned community members and parents have started a petition asking for additional security. Sept. 26 marked 10 years since 43 students were abducted in Guerrero, Mexico. Although no connection has been directly established, parents of the missing students claim that officials in the state were in constant dealing with the cartels and blame them for the loss of their children. Protests will not stop until they feel justice has been served.  On Thursday, Sept. 26, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the White House in hopes of urging the Biden administration to heighten their military assistance as he believes Ukraine can win the war with Russia. The following day on Friday, Sept. 27, Zelenskyy met with former president Trump to share his ideas and extended his plea in case the 2024 election should cause a change in administration. In the past, Trump has shown a lack of support for Ukraine's war efforts but was willing to meet with Zelenskyy as he hopes the war will soon come to a close.  Host: Gianna Echeverria Editor: Aidan Swanepoel Producers: El Nicklin, Aidan Swanepoel Like, comment, and follow us on your favorite platform for more content!

Photo: Elon Schoenholz, courtesy of David Kordansky Gallery For over four decades, Raúl Guerrero (b. 1945, Brawley, California) has made work informed by his experiences navigating cultures as an American of Mexican ancestry in Southern California. In his paintings, photographs, video, and performance works, Guerrero utilizes language and cultural signifiers to examine notions of place as a way to understand personal concepts of self. An aspect of his work depicts—and critiques—colonial narratives in the Americas such as the settlement of the Great Plains, the history of Latin America, and imposed notions of the American “West.” With compositions fusing Mexican, American, and European visual traditions, he incorporates influences ranging from the readymades of Marcel Duchamp to conceptually-oriented practices associated with a preceding generation of California artists (including John Baldessari and Ed Ruscha) who emerged from Guerrero's alma mater, the Chouinard Art Institute. A long-time exhibiting artist on the West Coast, Guerrero reflects an intellectually rigorous approach suffused with humor and a deep engagement with legacies of visual art from Southern California and the Southwest. Raúl Guerrero has been the subject of solo exhibitions at David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles (2021); Ortuzar Projects, New York (2018); Air de Paris (project space), Romainville, France (2014); Athenaeum Music and Arts Library, San Diego, California (2001, 2007, and 2013); CUE Art Foundation, New York (2010); Long Beach Museum of Art, California (1977); Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (1989); and San Francisco Art Institute, California (1977). Guerrero was included in the California Biennial 2022: Pacific Gold at the Orange County Museum of Art, Costa Mesa, California (2022–2023), and was the recipient of an NEA Photography Fellowship (1979) and the San Diego Art Prize (2006). Guerrero lives and works in San Diego.

Leave us a Review Brooklyn based fine artist Daniel Maidman's drawings and paintings have been featured in The Huffington Post, and Forbes, and exhibited in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress, the New Britain Museum of American Art, the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Long Beach Museum of Art. Daniel's Instagram following at the time of writing this is over 124,000 people and it's well deserved. His mostly monochromatic figurative drawings of the human form are captivating and strike a delicate balance between highly labored renderings and minimalist linework. In this episode, Daniel talks about what life is like as a working artist. We also talk about his signature style and how his love of previous generations of artists before him influenced his work. We also got into the discipline of being a professional artist and the right and left brain connection of the entrepreneurial side of being an artist.  We even had a plot twist later in the episode when we learn that Daniel's work is heading to the moon. Like, literally...the Moon.

Elsa Mora is an artist and curator born and raised in Cuba. In her culture, mental illness is not a secret and she would know because she grew up surrounded by family members who had bipolar, depression, schizophrenia, autism, and alcoholism.    Elsa moved to Los Angeles to pursue art in 2001 and then to Upstate New York with her husband and two children in 2014. She continues to make art, now focusing on unique paper sculptures while also curating the Art Yard, an alternative contemporary art gallery, theater, and residency program.   Elsa’s art has been exhibited worldwide in art galleries and museums. She’s taught at the Vocational School of Arts in Cuba and has been a visiting artist at the Art Institute of Chicago, San Francisco State University, The Art Institute of Boston, the MoMA Design Store, and the National Gallery of Art, among others. Her work is in the permanent collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC and the Long Beach Museum of Art in California. As an illustrator, she’s collaborated with the Museum of Modern Art, The New York Review of Books, Oprah Magazine, Cosmopolitan, and more. Elsa is passionate about forming and strengthening communities through the transformational power of art, creativity, and collaboration.   Elsa’s beloved son Diego was diagnosed as autistic when he was two years old. When her son turned fourteen, he experienced psychosis and was hospitalized. Elsa believes her intuition is serving her family well because she’s been dealing with mentally ill family members her whole life. It’s why she’s so open and willing to share about her family’s struggles so others can get over their discomfort and rid themselves of their own shame and secrets.   Growing up poor in Cuba taught Elsa the most precious possession we have is our mind and that creativity and imagination can solve any problem, whether material or emotional. Elsa’s complex, delicate and fascinating paper sculptures are a metaphor for the mind, and hers is full of creativity, beautiful design, and profound thoughts. I’m so thrilled to welcome Elsa today.   SHOW NOTE LINKS:  Elsa Mora's Website Art Yard Elsa Mora on Instagram Elsa Mora on Facebook Elsa Mora on Twitter   CONNECT WITH US! *Dear Family, Podcast Page *Write Now Rachel Website *Rachel's Blog @Medium *Rachel’s Twitter *Facebook *Instagram   PLEASE JOIN: ***Dear Family Members, the Private Facebook Group   *PLEASE Leave a 5-Star Review and ***Listen and Subscribe via iTunes!!!  ***Listen and Subscribe via Stitcher!!! ***Listen and Subscribe via Spotify!!!   Thank you!

On Episode #14 of “CAN YOU HEAR ME, LONG BEACH?” Downtown Long Beach has long struggled to stay relevant, what the kids call "hot." We talked to two people whose business/organization helps validate the direction of the area while gambling that enough people will be attracted to keep everything going. First, Ron Nelson, executive director of the Long Beach Museum of Art, speaks to Asia Morris and Steve Lowery about the museum's new downtown space located at 3rd and Elm. This is the second time the museum has come downtown and Nelson believes conditions are right this time for them to stay. He also thinks artists should charge more for their work. Right? Andy George's Toxic Toast Records is celebrating its fifth year downtown, an experience that seems to have been, shall we say, mixed, given the comically pained way he reacts to the question "How is it dealing with the city?" Still, George has doubled down on his initial investment, opening a performance space—Toxic Toast Theatre—next door to his record store (and his adorable doggy friend, Toast). Asia, Steve and Cheantay Jensen, who profiled Toxic Toast Theatre, spoke with Andy about all of this and why he should be listening to the Monks. YOU ALL SHOULD BE LISTENING TO THE MONKS.

I have a trick for when I meet new people in order to get more quickly into a substantiative conversation. I resist, for the entire meeting if possible, asking the person that I’ve just met what they do for a living. I’m not always able to swerve clear of what’s considered small talk—I still tend to talk about the weather more than is advisable—but I try to be honest and ask open questions that leave room for the conversation to develop in many possible ways. The artist David Choe, in his 45-minute session on stage at the Unexpected Connections conference, said that he would begin by telling the 450 people in the audience the thing he least wanted to share. Think what our interactions with each other would look like if we adopted that practice in our daily lives. That’s what happened, in a scaled-back way, throughout the day in Long Beach during the conference hosted by Imprint and ourselves in early November. People in attendance were open with each other immediately, in the kind of way that typically takes being on a third date or having had a second pint. Conversations started where you’d typically get to 30 minutes in rather than at square one. Long Beach wound up being important as a location, more so than just being the neighborhood Imprint and InterTrend are located in (InterTrend and Imprint Venture Lab are both managed by Julia Huang, the mastermind behind the conference) though it was important to us that we show support for local culture. What wound up making Long Beach appropriate was its removal from downtown LA—the people present really thought about being there and made a commitment to stay at the conference for an extended period of time. Rather than people floating in for the specific talk they were interested in and then coasting out again, there was a dedicated group of people prepared for deep engagement. People would recognize each other and conversations that were started in the morning continued on to the afternoon and then flowed into drinks at the Long Beach Museum of Art. Speakers being present for more than just their appointed slot of time also demonstrated commitment to availability and the sharing of knowledge.
