For the 36th episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Sarah Roberts, curator of the landmark exhibition "Amy Sherald: American Sublime," and editor of the accompanying catalog published by Yale University Press in association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.Roberts discusses Sherald's revolutionary portraiture approach — from her distinctive gray-scale skin tones that shift focus to her subjects' interior lives, to her deliberate use of clothing and settings as narrative devices. She shares insights on the "American sublime" concept in Sherald's work and her curatorial decisions integrating the iconic Michelle Obama and Breonna Taylor portraits within the larger context of the artist's practice.This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in contemporary portraiture, the evolution of American figurative painting, and how art can challenge conventional narratives about representation and identity. Roberts' insights reveal why Sherald's quiet yet radical artistic vision offers a powerful reimagining of who deserves to be seen and celebrated in American art history.ABOUT THE AUTHOR Sarah Roberts is Senior Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Joan Mitchell Foundation where she oversees the Foundation's Artwork and Archival Collections and the Joan Mitchell Catalogue Raisonné project. Since 2004, she has served in progressive leadership roles in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the SFMOMA, and since 2020 as Andrew W. Mellon Curator and Head of Painting and Sculpture. A specialist in post-war American art, Roberts has organized significant exhibitions including major presentations of Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Bourgeois, Frank Bowling, and co-curated the Joan Mitchell retrospective that traveled internationally. Roberts holds degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and Brown University, and has contributed to numerous publications on contemporary art.ABOUT THE EXHIBITION"Amy Sherald: American Sublime" is now on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York through August 3, 2025, following its run at SFMOMA.

Luisa Passerini"Artebiografia"Percorsi di artiste tra Italia e AfricaRosenberg & Sellierwww.rosenbergsellier.itQuesto libro riprende il formato del montaggio, già usato da Luisa Passerini in alcuni libri precedenti, come Autoritratto di gruppo (1988; 2008), La fontana della giovinezza (1999), Il mito d'Europa (2002). Quindi il testo è composto di più parti, scritte alcune in prima e altre in terza persona; inoltre comprende in modo portante immagini che intervallano il proprio discorso con quello intrinseco alle parole, costituendo un tutto unico tra registri diversi che si illuminano reciprocamente.L'Esordio ricostruisce il percorso che ha portato l'autrice a considerare l'arte non più soltanto – come in suoi lavori precedenti – in qualità di strumento per rievocare storie di movimenti collettivi e individuali (Conversations on Visual Memory, 2018), ma anche di una vera e propria forma di conoscenza dal punto di vista della storia culturale.Opere d'arte che hanno ispirato l'ipotesi di tale valenza conoscitiva e politica sono quelle di Bertina Lopes e Louise Bourgeois.L'interesse per l'Africa viene assunto come orizzonte complessivo abitato in modi diversi dalle protagoniste del libro, non come base di inclusività identitarie. Sia le artiste sia l'autrice condividono in modi diversi l'appartenenza a culture italiane e contemporaneamente l'attenzione per aspetti delle civiltà africane.I capitoli pari sono dedicati ciascuno a un'artista che ha prestato particolare attenzione ai rapporti tra Italia e Africa: Muna Mussie ha lavorato sulla memoria storica e personale legata all'Eritrea; Alessandra Ferrini sul colonialismo italiano in Africa; Binta Diaw sul corpo nero nel contesto occidentale. I capitoli dispari rievocano le vicende personali dell'autrice nell'Africa orientale, i suoi viaggi alla ricerca delle opere delle artiste studiate, e le sue considerazioni sui percorsi così compiuti.La Postfazione di Bernardo Follini, senior curator della Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo di Torino, segnala le affinità metodologiche tra l'attività di curatore artistico da una parte e quella di storica della cultura dall'altra, nonché le possibili convergenze personali tra soggetti che svolgono ricerche in campi disciplinari diversi.Luisa Passerini è Emerita di Storia all'Istituto Universitario Europeo di Firenze, ha usato fonti orali, scritte e visuali per lo studio dei soggetti del cambiamento sociale e culturale, dai movimenti di liberazione africani ai movimenti operai, delle donne e degli studenti. Ha indagato il rapporto tra il concetto di identità europea e quello di amore romantico.Tra i suoi libri: La quarta parte (2023); Storie d'amore e d'Europa (2008); Memoria e utopia. Il primato dell'intersoggettività (2003); L'Europa e l'amore (1999); Storie di donne e femministe (1991; nuova ed. 2024); Mussolini immaginario (1991); Autoritratto di gruppo (1988); Torino operaia e fascismo (1984; nuova ed. 2024).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Nathalie Obadia « L'art contemporain ; Des esprits conquérants » (Le cavalier Bleu)L'art contemporain, tel qu'il est apparu depuis la fin des années 60, est indissociable des logiques de mondialisation et de softpower qui fédèrent de multiples acteurs et autant de figures majeures au service de la création et de sa diffusion.En premier lieu, les artistes avec des figures comme Gerhard Richter, Louise Bourgeois, Damien Hirst ou Yayoi Kusama, mais aussi les curators dont Harald Szeemann est un précurseur et la Cheikha Hoor Al Qasimi une incarnation des sensibilités du Sud Global, les galeristes avec Larry Gagosian et Marian Goodman, les foires dont l'emblématique Art Basel incarnée par Marc Spiegler, des collectionneurs comme François Pinault ou Uli Sigg, sans oublier celles et ceux qui ont œuvré à la muséification de l'art contemporain comme Suzanne Pagé ou Renzo Piano qui lui a créé ses plus lumineux écrins.Partant de sa double expertise de galeriste et d'enseignante, Nathalie Obadia nous présente ici les figures majeures de l'art contemporain et nous permet de saisir leur étroite imbrication et interdépendance.Musique: "Hymne à l'amour" Edith Piaf Hébergé par Ausha.

路易絲.布爾喬亞(Louise Bourgeois)的展覽核心作品之一:象徵母親的大蜘蛛雕塑,搭配藝術家生涯代表作共82件,涵蓋雕塑、布作、手稿等豐富媒材,呈現她長達近一世紀的創作與生命歷程。這次展覽有別於日本森美術館 MORI ART MUSEUM版本,台灣場次的呈現方式更著重於「療癒」、「修補」與「正向的轉化」。富邦美術館特別透過展覽設計與導覽,將布爾喬亞對自我與情感的修復視為核心,轉化成適合成人也適合孩子共同觀看與對話的樣貌。除了展覽本身,本次亦設計了極具巧思的成人與兒童導覽手冊。成人手冊中不僅有展品解說,還邀請蔡康永、陳珊妮等人撰寫對孤獨與自我修復的思考;兒童版導覽手冊則透過插畫、提問與故事引導孩子思考,手冊不只是觀展輔助,更是美感教育的一環。蜘蛛象徵母親、修補、守護,也象徵藝術家在巨大創傷後仍能築起內心堡壘,將痛苦昇華為藝術,正是布爾喬亞以創作回應童年創傷、家庭關係與自我和解的歷程。展品當中包括她90歲後的晚年作品,如以母親洋裝剪下一塊布、繡上「和解之日」,展現藝術家對家庭、親情與自身的深刻理解與釋懷。本集節目讓聽眾更貼近藝術家的人生與創作動機,也讓觀眾認識如何透過藝術面對生活中的孤獨與挫折。富邦美術館期盼三歲到十六歲的孩子都能習慣走入美術館,把藝術作為成長過程中自我探索與心靈照護的重要媒介。也鼓勵家長陪同孩子看展,購買導覽手冊與紀念品,讓藝術融入家庭生活與記憶。
Hablamos con Sara Herrera Peralta de El piar de los pájaros y el goteo del agua que cae del techo (Ed. La bella Varsovia), su décimo tercer poemario, en el que rescata la producción más desconocida de Louise Bourgeois para establecer un diálogo con la famosa artista, pero también consigo misma y con tantas otras mujeres que crean mientras crían, cosen un botón o pasan la fregona. Luego, Ignacio Elguero nos sugiere otras lecturas: Miserable vejez (Ed. Visor), el nuevo y demoledor poemario de Luis Antonio de Villena, de título muy elocuente, y Los ahogados (Ed. Alfaguara), novela de Benjamin Black, pseudónimo con el que el irlandés John Banville firma sus historias de género negro.Además, Javier Lostalé abre su ventanita poética a Treinta años: el silencio y la lluvia (Ed. Libros de la resistencia), poemario de Francisco Javier Ávila en el que lo racional y lo irracional conviven y en el que el abordaje de los asuntos más graves no impide la ironía y el humor. Además, en Peligro en La estación nuestro colaborador Sergio C. Fanjul nos lleva de paseo a propósito de la psicogeografía, disciplina que se encarga de analizar los efectos del entorno geográfico en las emociones y que protagoniza algunas novedades editoriales como: Psicogeografía (Ed. Pepitas) de Julio Monteverde, que es una buena introducción al tema, De fuego cercada (Ed. Alianza), volumen en el que Servando Rocha pone el acento en lo oculto y olvidado de la ciudad de Madrid, Psicogeografía del ahí (Ed. Icaria), de Emilio Santiago Muiño, que trata sobre exploraciones de París y otros entornos menos explotados como Móstoles y Ferrol, Lo quieras o no, libro de Luis Navarro y el colectivo Democracia que propone la posibilidad de hacer psicogeografía en el metro, La ciudad y sus pliegues (Ed. La Torre Magnética), de Luis Gálvez, que trata la vertiente más poética del asunto fijándose en todas las maravillas y azares que puede provocar el paseo atento por el entorno y La ciudad infinita (Ed. Reservoir Bokks), del propio Sergio C. Fanjul. Terminamos el programa junto a Mariano Peyrou, que nos recomienda La belleza de la escritura (Ed. Eolas), ensayo de Miguel Casado que reflexiona sobre la escritura a partir de cuestiones muy concretas.Escuchar audio
Join us for an exploration of art and materials in this interview Nathan Terborg, recorded at his solo exhibition at Galerie Benjamin Eck in Munich. Nathan skillfully transforms found objects into thought-provoking art pieces. Discover how his early experiences in his grandfather's woodshop influenced his artistic journey, leading him away from traditional painting towards an immersive sculptural practice. Nathan dives into the essence of experimentation, stressing how the relationship between artist and materials is foundational to creating meaningful work. Nathan's approach of curiosity and discovery emphasizes that artistic freedom resides in the acceptance of imperfection and the willingness to explore beyond the surface. The conversation also highlights the importance of communication through art, with Nathan referencing the impactful words of Louise Bourgeois. This insight showcases the intrinsic value of art as an unspoken language that connects both the creator and observer. By drawing from personal anecdotes and professional insights, Nathan inspires listeners to reconsider their interactions with materials and art forms. As he encourages audiences to engage with sculptures tactually, he elucidates the transformative potential hidden within the discarded.

Zihin Koleksiyoncusu Aslı Kotaman'ın Kara Karga Yayınları'ndan çıkan Sanatın Erkeksiz Tarihi, kadın sanatçıların tarih boyunca karşılaştığı engelleri, erkek egemen yapının onları nasıl gölgede bıraktığını ve bu görünmezliği aşma mücadelelerini anlatıyor. Kotaman'la sohbet ederken en çok aklımda kalan cümlesi şu oldu: “Sanat tarihine bakarken sadece ‘Kadın sanatçılar nerede?' diye sormak yetmez, ‘Neden yok sayıldılar?' sorusunu da sormalıyız.”Linda Nochlin'in o meşhur sorusu, “Sanatta büyük kadın sanatçı yok mu?” da temel tartışmalarından biri. Kitapta Mihri Müşfik, Hale Asaf, Artemisia Gentileschi, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe, Lee Krasner, Louise Bourgeois, Barbara Kruger ve Tracey Emin gibi pek çok güçlü kadın sanatçının hikâyesini okuyorsunuz. Ama itiraf etmeliyim ki tüm bu etkileyici anlatıya rağmen, daha derin bir içerik beklentim tam olarak karşılanmadı. Kotaman da bu eleştirime hak veriyor ve kitabın daha kapsamlı olabileceğini kabul ediyor. Yine de onun bilgisi, donanımı ve samimi anlatımı, sanatın eksik yazılmış tarihini sorgulamak için çok önemli bir kapı aralıyor. Aslı Kotaman ile sanatın erkeksiz tarihini tüm detaylarıyla ve en gerçekçi haliyle konuştuk...Söyleşi: Ebru D. DedeoğluVideo
Conférence avec Nathalie Piégay et Martin Rueff Niki de Saint Phalle, Louise Bourgeois et Annette Messager : trois femmes, trois artistes, trois vies racontées par Nathalie Piégay. Date : 2 mai 2024 Avec : Nathalie Piégay et Martin Rueff
Jusqu'au 1ᵉʳ mars, à la galerie Templon, à Paris, l'artiste Prune Nourry expose son dernier projet, une série de Vénus en terre et bronze qui rejoindront en 2026 l'atrium de la nouvelle gare Saint-Denis Pleyel. Dans cet épisode du « Goût de M », elle revient sur la genèse de ces sculptures qui évoquent les représentations de la femme au paléolithique.Mais ce sont de vrais modèles avec lesquels elle a travaillé : huit femmes victimes de violences, qui ont été prises en charge par la Maison des femmes de Saint-Denis, et qui ont accepté de poser pour elle dans leur intimité. « Je sculptais autant grâce à leur histoire, à leurs mots, à leur confiance que par rapport à leur corps », précise l'artiste qui vient d'avoir 40 ans et qui nous reçoit dans son atelier parisien du 12e arrondissement.Si le thème de la femme imprègne son œuvre et son admiration pour les artistes féminines (Artemisia Gentileschi, Germaine Richier, Louise Bourgeois, Kiki Smith…), Prune Nourry manifeste aussi une curiosité pour le corps humain, l'hybridation, « cette possibilité d'une symbiose entre les espèces, cette idée de l'interdépendance », que lui avait révélée plus jeune les cours de biologie. Dès l'enfance, celle qui a vécu entourée de textiles – ses parents travaillaient dans le tissu – s'est passionnée pour les formes et la sensualité des matières. La terre et l'argile sont rapidement devenues ses matériaux de prédilection.Depuis six saisons, la journaliste et productrice Géraldine Sarratia interroge la construction et les méandres du goût d'une personnalité. Qu'ils ou elles soient créateurs, artistes, cuisiniers ou intellectuels, tous convoquent leurs souvenirs d'enfance, tous évoquent la dimension sociale et culturelle de la construction d'un corpus de goûts, d'un ensemble de valeurs.Un podcast produit et présenté par Géraldine Sarratia (Genre idéal) préparé avec l'aide de Diane Lisarelli et Juliette SavardRéalisation : Emmanuel BauxMusique : Gotan Project Hébergé par Audion.

Språket är ett slagfält. Och i Frankrike har det stridits om rätten att få vara både kvinna och författare, konstnär eller makthavare även till ordet. Cecilia Blomberg reflekterar över utvecklingen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes första gången 2020.Alla som har läst romanska språk är väl förtrogna med uppdelningen i maskulina ord och feminina ord. Jag exemplifierar ur franskan: un livre – en bok – maskulinum, une peinture – en målning – femininum. Det låter ju hyfsat oproblematiskt och jämlikt.Men när det handlar om den som höll i pennan eller penseln gick det under väldigt lång tid bara att använda maskulinform på franska: un peintre – en målare, un auteur eller un écrivain – en författare. Eller un ministre – en minister. Oavsett om just den utpekade målaren, författaren eller ministern som avsågs var en kvinna – en faktisk kvinna med namn, bostadsadress, ett liv. Någon som kämpat för att nå sin position. Kanske kämpat lite mer än de manliga kollegerna.Det är lätt att tro att det här är ett arv sedan urminnes tider, men så är det inte.Christine de Pizan var den första kvinnliga franskspråkiga författaren som försörjde sig, sina barn och sin mor på sitt skrivande. Hon levde mellan 1364 och 1430 och där, i övergången mellan medeltid och tidig renässans, var hon vid frontlinjen av samtidens debatter: alltifrån filosofi och politik till kvinnors ställning i samhället. Dessutom var hon poet.Av sina samtida kallades Christine de Pizan för une clergesse – det vill säga en lärd, skrivande kvinna. Kvinnliga yrken som var rätt vanliga i de medeltida städerna hade sina egna feminina former. En kvinnlig författare kallades ofta une autrice.Ända in på 1600-talet var innebörden i ordet ambassadrice ett kvinnligt sändebud i utlandet. 200 och 300 år senare hade ordets betydelse förskjutits till att beteckna en kvinna gift med en ambassadör. Genom borgerlighetens intåg sköts kvinnorna tillbaks in i hemmen och förlorade också den språkligt symboliska makten.Först en bra bit in på 2000-talet återgick den språkliga maktbalansen till något som påminner mer om medeltiden än om den industriella revolutionen. En kvinnlig ambassadör är återigen en Ambassadrice. Kvinnliga författare envisas med att kalla sig écrivaine eller auteure, och en kvinnlig advokat kallar sig une avocate. Men det har varit en segdragen tvist.Jag läser om den här språkliga maktkampen i lingvisten Bernard Cerquiglinis bok "Le Ministre est Enceinte”– på svenska: Ministern är gravid. Den som kan franska hajar till vid åsynen av titeln. Ministre har maskulin form samtidigt som adjektivet gravid har en feminin böjning med ett e på slutet. Man ser en kostymklädd man med höggravid mage framför sig.Det är grammatiskt korrekt men samtidigt något av en bisarr, språklig karikatyr.Bernard Cerquiglini har därför helt enkelt kryssat över den bestämda artikeln ”le” och i boktiteln ersatt det med som det ser ut ett handskrivet ”la”. Det är det här striden främst har handlat om – att titlar som handlar om makt ska kunna vara feminina. Men vägen dit har som sagt varit lång. Mer än 30 års nednötning har det tagit att få igenom den här förändringen.På ena sidan stod Franska akademien och deras språkkonservativa, många rentav kvinnofientliga, beskyddare. På andra sidan började allt fler samla sig för att driva på en förändring. Medierna hörde till den falangen, även om tidningen Le Figaro höll ut länge i sin ovilja att reformera språket.Bland reformisterna fanns också flera kvinnliga makthavare. De hade börjat tröttna på sina maskulina epitet. En av dem var Ségolène Royal – då biträdande skolminister i Lionel Jospins regering. Och det var Jospin som under sin tid som premiärminister redan 1998 skickade ut en kommuniké som uppmanade alla statsanställda att använda feminina former för yrken och ämbeten.I den franskspråkiga världen utanför Frankrike var det här redan vardag. Först ut var radikala Québec som moderniserade rätten till feminina former redan på 70-talet. Belgien och Schweiz följde snart efter.Men i Frankrike däremot aktiverade Franska akademien något som liknar en motståndsrörelse som gjorde en sak av att förlöjliga feminina former. De var outtröttligt ironiska över förflackningen och vägrade ens erkänna kvinnors alltmer framträdande positioner i det franska samhället. På andra sidan byggdes irritationen upp mer och mer och språkliga kupper genomfördes i franska parlamentets talarstol.Så franskt, kan man tycka, att förnedra varandra i offentligheten i kampen om några enstaka bokstäver. En kamp på liv och död att få säga la istället för le eller une istället för un. Kanske även få tillstånd att lägga till ett e på slutet – så att kvinnliga författare kan få kallas det feminina nya auteure istället för manliga auteur. Eller rätten att använda slutstavelser som –aine, –ale, –esse, –ice eller det lite skämtsamma –otte som konstnären Louise Bourgeois tog ut svängarna med och skapade en del låtsatsord av när hon debuterade som rappare som 84-åring.Men språket går djupt och inte ens franska akademien lyckades till sist hejda utvecklingen. I mars 2019 skrev de i en ny kommuniké om "att hela världen så här i början av det 21:a århundradet genomgår en stor förvandling, inte minst Frankrike. Kvinnans position i samhället har flyttats fram och många kvinnor önskar nu få ett feminint epitet som motsvarar den nya situationen för att fylla ett tomrum som funnits i språket".Det var alltså 24 år efter Louise Bourgeois debut som rappare Och 31 år efter premiärminister Lionel Jospins uppmaning att använda den feminina formen när det till exempel är en kvinnlig minister eller direktör som avses.Demokratiseringen av språket har tagit ett steg framåt. Men orden räcker bara så långt. Fortfarande är bara en liten minoritet av Franska akademiens ledamöter kvinnor. Och i den permanenta visningen av samlingarna på Centre Pompidou är kvinnliga konstnärer kraftigt underrepresenterade. För att bara ta två exempel. Språket går djupt, men inte så djupt.I Sverige har vi haft våra egna språkliga märkligheter med konstruktioner som manlig sjuksköterska och fru talman och Svenska akademien fick först göra en utredning innan det beslutades att Sara Danius skulle kallas för den ständiga sekreteraren i stället för den ständige. Men i stort sett har kampen om språket i Sverige sett annorlunda ut än i Frankrike. Kanske kan man kalla den motsatt. En av de första sakerna jag lärde mig som ny på radion, var att man inte använder ordet konstnärinna utan konstnär. Poetissa, författarinna, skådespelerska var inte heller okej. Här har könsneutralisering varit modellen. Och det hörs ju nästan att konstnärinna inte har samma tyngd och dignitet som konstnär.Nästa steg i utvecklingen i många språk är just de könsneutrala uttrycken. I engelskan finns en återgång till att använda they, och their. Reformförespråkare i tyskan och hebreiskan har föreslagit nya ändelser, men ländernas Akademier har än så länge tagit avstånd från att införa förändringarna formellt.Det känns som att Frankrike är ett steg efter, eller vid sidan av andra språkområdens diskussioner. För där har man nu alltså precis vunnit kampen för att få använda de femininumformer vi har gjort oss av med. Och det som är neutrum i franskan, det könsneutrala – det är fortfarande alltid manligt. Så länge man pratar om grupper av människor så ses inte den maskulina formen som ett problem – än så länge. Trevande förslag till förändringar har lagts fram även där. Men räkna inte med att den reformen kommer att ske snabbt i den franska offentligheten. Och tro inte att det kommer att ske utan strid.Cecilia Blomberg, medarbetare på kulturredaktionen
In this episode of Platemark, I talk with Judith Solodkin, a renowned master printer and founder of SOLO Impression. Judith shares her extensive experience, from being the first woman to graduate from the Tamarind Master Printer program to her unique work in digital embroidery.

L'art féministe est un mouvement artistique regroupant des artistes et des œuvres revendiquant ou s'inscrivant dans un discours féministe, c'est-à-dire qui promeut l'égalité entre les femmes et les hommes. Le principal objectif de l'art féministe est de repenser la place des femmes dans le monde. Sa popularisation, dans les années 60 et 70 est concomitante à la prise d'ampleur du mouvement, mais également à l'émergence de nouvelles formes d'expressions artistiques, comme la performance. Judy Chicago, Niki De Saint Phalle ou encore Louise Bourgeois sont des artistes féministes particulièrement connues de l'époque. Mais alors, sous quelle forme est apparue la première œuvre d'art féministe ? Et ensuite, quelles sont les œuvres qui ont marqué le féminisme en France ? Et dans la peinture alors, les femmes ont-elles réussi à s'imposer dans l'Histoire de l'art ? Écoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez - Culture".

In s3e63 of Platemark, podcast host Ann Shafer talks with collaborative printer Peter Pettengill. Peter founded Wingate Studio in 1985 on his family's dairy farm in Hinsdale, NH. Originally trained at Crown Point Press, Peter specializes in multi-plate color etchings. Now semi-retired, Peter's son James has taken over the operating of the shop, though Peter lends a hand when requested. They talk about Peter's early experiences at Crown Point Press, his work with celebrated artists such as John Cage, Sol LeWitt, and Walton Ford, and the technical and creative complexities of creating fine art prints. Peter reflects on his transition to semi-retirement, the passing of his studio to his son James, and the historical and artistic significance of their family farm turned artist residency. This episode offers listeners an insightful look into the dedication required in printmaking, the balance between creativity and technical skill, and the supportive community that underpins the art world.

Art and psychoanalysis have had a very long and intense relationship over the years, and it makes sense that these two fields would be drawn to one another. Critics have long looked at psychoanalysis as offering a sophisticated model of decoding images and fantasies. Artists have made productive use of ideas like the unconscious and the uncanny, and of course, are very concerned with the questions of self-expression and desire that are at the core of analysis. One figure who has gained quite a bit of attention in art lately for her ideas on all these things is Jamieson. Webster. Webster is an analyst and a teacher, and is among the founders of Pulsion, a new school for psychoanalysis here in New York City. She's also the author of essays for places including The New York Times and the New York Review of Books, as well as books of her own, including the Life and Death of Psychoanalysis from 2019 and Disorganization and Sex from 2022. Recently Webster spoke with art critic and podcast co-host Ben Davis about the fresh uptick of interest in psychoanalysis among artists now, the uses and abuses of therapy in art, and her new pamphlet titled The Psychoanalyst and the Artist, where she writes about what analysts can learn from two artists in particular, the sculptor Louise Bourgeois and the painter Carroll Dunham.

This week: Just Stop Oil's Stonehenge protest. On Wednesday, two activists sprayed orange powder paint made from cornflour on to three of the boulders at Stonehenge, prompting outrage and some support. Before this latest action, in an article for the July/August print edition of The Art Newspaper, John Paul Stonard had argued that Just Stop Oil's museum-based protests add up to “one of the most successful campaigns of civil disobedience in history”. He reflects on whether the latest protests reinforce this conviction. At the Hayward Gallery in London, the Bahamian-born, US-based artist Tavares Strachan has just opened his first major survey exhibition. We go to the gallery to talk to him. And this episode's Work of the Week is Janus Fleuri by Louise Bourgeois, made in 1968. It is one of the highlights of Unconscious Memories, a show in which Bourgeois's sculptures and installations are installed alongside the historic works in the Galleria Borghese in Rome. We speak to Cloé Perrone, the co-curator of the exhibition.Tavares Strachan: There Is Light Somewhere, Hayward Gallery, London, until 1 September.Louise Bourgeois: Unconscious memories, Galleria Borghese, Rome, 21 June-15 September.Subscription offer: a free eight-week trial of a digital subscription to The Art Newspaper.

Igshaan Adams talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Adams, born in 1982, who explores human space, both interior and exterior, and how that space speaks to racial, sexual and historical identities. Working in particular with wall and floor-based textiles, and sculpture, often brought together in atmospheric installations, Adams does not depict people but evokes their presence. He particularly refers to the community in which he was born and grew up in South Africa, Bonteheuwel near Cape Town, and suggests the marks people have made in that environment. They range from the traces on domestic floors to so-called “desire lines”, pathways forged in landscapes and cityscapes that reveal how we subvert the structures put in place to control and surveil us, and thus act as everyday gestures of resistance. Adams's art is based on research but also deeply informed by his own story, as a mixed-race, queer man. Though referencing great difficulty and hardship, his is a language of unashamed beauty and elegance. In the podcast, he reflects on his curiosity about traces of human activity, his embrace of beauty, his longstanding engagement with Sufism, and the influence of the South African artists Nandipha Mntambo and Nicholas Hlobo, the French-American artist Louise Bourgeois and the love poems of Rumi. He gives insight into life in his studio in Cape Town, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Igshaan Adams: Weerhoud, The Hepworth Wakefield, UK, 22 June-3 November; Igshaan Adams, ICA/Boston, US, until 15 February 2025;Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art, 14 September-5 January, 2025 Hosted on Acast.

Klara Kristalova constructs an odd yet familiar world, inhabited by figures evoking rawness, vulnerability, and humanity. The landscape, though not directly represented, is an essential component of Klara Kristalova's universe, inferred in fragments from the drawings, ceramics, and bronzes that populate the dark and mysterious exhibitions she has unveiled in recent years.In this episode, she talks about several surrealists' women. In The Love of Art podcast, artists are invited to speak about other artists that fascinate them (musicians, writers, filmmakers, actors, designers…) in a very personal way. The Love of Art (L'Amour de l'Art) is a podcast by Perrotin The episode with Klara Kristalova was recorded on April 10, 2024 at Perrotin Paris Interview conducted by: Vanessa Clairet Stern Production and sound design: Seb Lascoux Language: English Graphic design: Perrotin Music: CDM MusicHébergé par Ausha.

When we first encountered the visceral sculptures of Louise Bourgeois, their raw emotion struck us in ways we couldn't articulate. Join Ty Nathan Clark and Nathan Terborg on a profound exploration of art's power to heal and transform, as Bourgeois' life and work become the prism through which they examine the intimate dance between creation and the human experience. Her belief that art should evoke without explanation serves as our guiding principle, leading the artists through her biography and beyond, into a discussion on how the act of creating can alter our very perception of life.Venture into the depths of self-discovery with us, as Nathan and Ty share their artistic awakening and its revelatory impact on their identity. Weaving tales of healing, from confronting childhood emotions to the metamorphosis of personal trauma into commanding art installations. The narrative extends to broader philosophical musings – are we born whole or fragmented, and does art help to piece us back together? These reflections invite listeners to consider the mosaic of their own lives and how art might serve as the glue in their restoration.Finally, they navigate the emotional labyrinth of art, revealing the multitude of interpretations and impacts it can have. From the cathartic process of storytelling to the tender experience of emotional resonance, Bourgeois' legacy prompts us to dream and discuss the deep connections formed through shared vulnerability. Our journey culminates in contemplating the varied responses to artistic works and the role of the audience in this dynamic interplay. As we close, we extend an invitation to join the conversation and discover how the act of creation might breathe new life into your story.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Have you ever felt the magnetic pull towards the unknown realms of creativity, while the familiar clutches at your sleeves? That's where you'll find us in Pouch Cove, Newfoundland, ensconced in the James Baird Gallery's artist residency. Our latest gathering will come to you in 2 parts, minus the dearly missed Nathan Terbord, his spirit ever-present, delves into the heart of artistic innovation. Through a melding of voices—from the cobblestoned streets of Spain to the hustle of Philadelphia—we unravel the threads of comfort and courage that bind every artist's journey.Think scarcity stifles creativity? Think again! We challenge the more-is-better mindset as we celebrate the ingenuity and the power of creativity under constraint. We cover quotes from Louise Bourgeois, Agnes Martin, Dave Adey, Mark Rothko, Eva Hesse, Jerry Saltz, and Ursula von Rydingsvard. It's a call to arms for artists to embrace vulnerability and authenticity, to create not for applause but for the sheer necessity of expression.Our session wraps with a reflection on personal growth and its indelible mark on our craft. So refill your glass and settle in for an extended session of heartfelt artistic camaraderie, where the lessons shared promise to resonate with your creative spirit and perhaps even light the path for your next breakthrough.Artists in the episode:@Moksananda@francis.beaty@audreycha.art@jaclyn_gordyan@giannatesone@allisonhudsonart@bonny_thomassen_art (present but not in the episode)Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Nalini Malani talks to Ben Luke, about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Malani was born in Karachi in 1946 and lives and works today in Mumbai. Her work in drawing and painting, performance, video and installation, responds to contemporary politics and human rights issues through the language of ancient myths, of poets, writers and thinkers, and of the history of art. She is increasingly celebrated for her installations that she calls “animation chambers”, fusing video and drawings, text and voice. They engulf the viewer in environments that contain endlessly shifting sequences of imagery and stirring soundtracks—a call to action in terms of both their political and cultural content. She discusses her early and enduring admiration of Indian Kalighat painting, how Louise Bourgeois' reflections on memory are a consistent inspiration, why she has repeatedly returned to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland, and about the pivotal period she spent in Paris between 1970 and 1972, meeting many leading intellectuals and artists. Plus she gives insight into her life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including “what is art for?”Nalini Malani: Can You Hear Me? and Ballad of a Woman, Concrete, Dubai, in collaboration with Volte Art Projects, 25 February-3 March; Nalini Malani: The Pain of Others 1966-1979, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS)/Jehangir Nicholson Art Gallery, Mumbai, India, 1 August-5 November; Ambienti 1956-2010: Environments by Women Artists II, MAXXI, Rome, 9 April-6 October; Nalini Malani: In Search of Vanished Blood, collection display, Tate Modern, London, 13 December 2024-September 2025.

In episode 2, Zach and Claire take a look at one of Zach's favorite pieces - Louise Bourgeois' sculpture Maman (1999). At over 30 feet tall and 33 feet wide, the work is massive and, as we learn, is an ode to the artist's mother. Check out an image of the work on our Instagram - or see it in person at the Tate Modern Museum in London. Field trip anyone?

Camille Henrot talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Henrot was born in 1978 in Paris and studied film at the École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in the French capital. She uses drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and film to reflect on a huge range of subject matter, from anthropology and the climate emergency, to biodiversity and motherhood, to art history, literature and the excesses of the digital experience. At the heart of her practice is a concern with different forms of language and knowledge and how they are structured and composed. Her work emerges from deep research and is full of intriguing contradictions, awash with fragmentation and disruption yet pregnant with humour and delight. Henrot grapples with the stuff around us and within us; her art explores distinctively how the empirical and the subjective, the outer world and her own private realm, intersect. She discusses her early and enduring passion for the art of Saul Steinberg and Louise Bourgeois, a profound friendship with the architect and thinker Yona Friedman, finding a kindred experience in the work of Hélène Cixous and Clarice Lispector, her use of musical playlists in the studio, and her fascination with the sadistic violence of Disney cartoons. Plus, she gives insight into her life in the studio and has a profound answer to our ultimate question: “what is art for?”Camille Henrot's books Milkyways and Mother Tongue are published by Hatje Cantz and priced £22 and £48.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is one of the most brilliant writers around today, Lauren Elkin! On today's episode we speak about feminist pioneers, Carolee Schneemann and Hannah Wilke!! Elkin is an American in London who has lived and spent extensive time in Paris, Liverpool, Tokyo, Venice and New York – as outlined in one of my favourite of her books, Flaneuse, which sees her trace cities through the eyes and steps of female writers and artists as the feminine “flaneur”, one who walks aimlessly. She is excellent at making her own a term or a trait previously steeped in patriarchal meaning. The author of four books, and the translator of others – including of Simone de Beauvoir's unpublished novel, The Inseparables – Elkin has received numerous awards for her writing. She has been a cultural critic for the likes of the New York Times, Harpers, London Review of Books, TLS, Frieze, and more; holds a PhD in English; an M.Phil in French; and is currently working on biographies on the likes of avant-garde tastemaker Getrude Stein and artist Louise Bourgeois. But! One of the reasons why we are speaking with Elkin today is because she has recently published a fantastic book, Art Monsters, which looks at a variety of female artists – from Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun to Laura Knight; Betye Saar to Carolee Schneemann; Eva Hesse and Hannah Wilke; Kara Walker and Maria Lassnig – who have centred their practice around the body. Exploring those who reacted against patriarchal portrayals and ideas of the body, Art Monsters is a fascinating insight into how women have broken from the historically-weighted past and configured a language using a voice unique to them.

Exposition des oeuvres de Louise Bourgeois, artiste plasticienne franco-américaine au Art Gallery of NSW jusqu'au 28 avril 2024. Pour en parler, Emily Sullivan, Assistant curator au Art Gallery of NSW.
In this episode, Nathan and Breck discuss: Art as an investment and the value it holds from a monetary and aesthetic standpoint The rise of fine art as an alternative asset class The role of an art consultant in the buying and selling process of fine art The impact Breck's grandfather had on his life and the community they lived in thanks to his influence as the founder of Xerox How family values and community involvement shape who you are Key Takeaways: There is a hunger for people to understand art as an asset while also appreciating the aesthetic of the works itself Follow your passion and find a way to incorporate it into your work each and every day. Determining the impact you want to make with generational wealth starts and ends with your family dynamic. Finding common ground, a shared vision and how you orient together is key to a successful family experience. Embrace your strengths, have sure footing, and maintain a bit of a practical planning view to see the bigger picture in life. “Art is about context, and the reason why art is in our museums is because it resonates with a moment in time.” — Breck Kling About Breck Kling: Breck is an Acquisitions and Collection Management Specialist and Fine Art Consultant that has been with Heather James Fine Art since 2017. He spends his time between Palm Beach Florida and Jackson Hole Wyoming. First introduced to HJFA as a collector, Breck's collection includes works by Robert Rauschenberg, Chuck Close, Takashi Murakami, Yoshimoto Nara, and Dana Schutz. He was a longtime board member of the Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, NY, and was an advisor to the first VOLTA art fair in Basel, CH, in 2005. Breck has sat on the board of his family's foundation (www.wilsonfdn.org) for over 25 years and he is also a co-founder and a trustee of Silicon Couloir, a network for entrepreneurs based in Jackson Hole. Breck's passions are art and meeting new people. He spends the majority of his time meeting new collectors and helping clients navigate collecting decisions .

In December 2020, Congress approved funding for a new Smithsonian Museum dedicated to women's history to be built on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. But our nation's capital has actually been home to a dedicated women's museum, the vaunted National Museum of Women in the Arts, since 1987. The institution, founded by Wilhelmina Cole Holliday and her husband Wallace, was the first of its kind in the world. Its mission was simple, to educate viewers about women's long overlooked contributions to art history. In its 36 years of existence, the museum has amassed an impressive collection of over 6, 000 works by more than 1,500 international artists including Frida Kahlo, Berthe Morisot, and Louise Bourgeois, as well as contemporary figures such as Judy Chicago, Nan Goldin, Mariah Robertson, and Amy Sherald. Less than six months after Wilhelmina's death in March 2021, the museum closed for its first major renovation, a planned $67.5 million project slated to take two years. The work has included a revamp of the performance hall, adding a new learning commons with a research library and education studios where there were once offices, as well as 15 percent more exhibition galleries. Plus, behind the scenes space for collection storage and conservation. On the eve of its reopening, Artnet News spoke with NMWA director Susan Fisher Sterling about the institution's past, present, and future, and the work that still needs to be done to ensure proper recognition for women artists.
The exhibition room has displayed contemporary art exhibitions for over 30 years. The museum's reputation for innovative, exciting shows has seen collaborations with artists such as Mark Wallinger, Alice Anderson, Louise Bourgeois, Gavin Turk and more. Displayed here is the exhibition Tracing Freud on the Acropolis.
Alvaro Barrington talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. For Barrington—who was born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1983, but grew up in Grenada and Brooklyn—painting is the bedrock of a practice that incorporates installation, sculpture and found objects, textiles, the written word and community events. He weaves together broad references, drawing on his personal and cultural background, and hugely diverse influences—particularly from art history, literature, political thought, and music—to create arresting and often exuberant constellations of imagery and materials. He discusses his early interest in the Akira manga, his admiration for artists as diverse as Louise Bourgeois, Jeff Koons and Johannes Vermeer, the significance of Audre Lorde's essay Poetry is Not a Luxury, and why he feels the hip-hop legend Tupac is the most significant artist of the last 40 years. He gives insight into life in the studio, and reflects on the importance of his move to London from New York in the 2010s. Plus, he answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Alvaro's work will be at the Notting Hill Carnival on 27 and 28 August. Grandma's Land, Sadie Coles HQ, London, 2 September-21 October; They Got Time, Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris Pantin, 18 October-27 January 2024; Nicola Vassell, New York, November-December, dates to be confirmed; Tate Britain commission, Tate Britain, London, spring 2024. Alvaro discusses Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, on the The Week in Art's Vermeer Special. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Over the past five decades, American artist Jenny Holzer has been engaging in thought-provoking interventions into public space that unflinchingly address politics, power, violence, and vulnerability. The New York-based artist investigates language as both content and form, and she works with unconventional mediums to do this including street signage, T-shirts, and light projections, but also sculptures and painting. Her poetic and often minimalist works are extremely impactful, creating a tension between knowledge and truth and emotion. Last year, Holzer curated an acclaimed exhibition of the work of Louise Bourgeois at the Kunstmuseum Basel. More recently, she received Whitechapel Gallery's prestigious Art Icon award. She's also the subject of a major solo exhibition on view until August 6 at a preeminent institution in Germany, the K21 in Dusseldorf. On the occasion of the show, which includes many key works spanning her career, Artnet's Europe editor Kate Brown caught up with Holzer, one of the foremost artists of her generation.

THIS WEEK on the GWA Podcast, we interview the acclaimed novelist, essayist and author of 18 books, SIRI HUSTVEDT! From memoir to poetry, non-fiction to fiction, Hustvedt's writing has touched on the topics of psychoanalysis, philosophy, neuroscience, literature, and art. Long-listed for the Booker Prize and winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction, Hustvedt's The Blazing World is a provocative novel about an artist, Harriet Burden, who after years of being ignored attempts to reveal the misogyny in art by asking three male friends to exhibit her work under their name. It is of course a triumph, and other bestsellers include What I Loved and The Summer Without Men. Born in Northfield, Minnesota to a Norwegian mother and an American father, and based in NYC since 1978, it wasn't until 1995 that Hustvedt began writing about art. Since then, her art writing oeuvre has expanded enormously with numerous books and essays published to acclaim – which often focus on the fate of female artists in history, the biases of history making, and discuss the likes of Louise Bourgeois, Alice Neel, Adrian Piper, Lee Krasner, Betye Saar, Joan Mitchell, Dora Maar, among others – which I can't wait to get into later on in this episode… Hustvedt's writing is both eye-opening and groundbreaking. She has questioned how we measure greatness, if art has a gender, the effect of art and literature existing in our memory and the future of fiction. She has looked at the masculine traits of the mind and the female traits of emotion, the domestic vs the intellectual, and analysed how historians have not just told the narrative of art, but the narrative of the world. She has asked why absence is so prevalent and explored how women have reconfigured the body after years of what she calls ‘fictive' spaces… I love her writing and it's allowed me to unlock elements (and see things differently) in books, art, and more that exist in my memory. Favourite books include A Woman Looking at Men Looking At Women: Essays on Art, Sex and the Mind and, more recently, Mothers, Fathers and Others – which is part memoir, part psychological study. So I couldn't be more delighted to have her on the podcast today.
