Exhibitions of his work include the Biennial at the Portland Museum of Art, Photographing Maine: Ten Years Later at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, and Return to Peyton Place: Photographs by Robert Monroe at the Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts. And he's a founding member of the Bakery Photographic Collective. Recently, Robert published his debut novel, Bungalow Terrace. I've read Bungalow Terrace and can tell you it's a beautifully written tale about four boys growing up to become a powerhouse rock ‘n roll group who endure all the breathtaking highs of success and harrowing challenges of the sex, drugs, and rock and roll fueled 50's, 60's, 70's and beyond.  Bungalow Terrace reads like an insider's account of the lives of The Beatles, The Four Seasons, and The Beach Boys all rolled into one.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it to you.

Ep.221 Shinique Smith. Known for her monumental fabric sculptures and abstract paintings of calligraphy and collage, Smith's personal histories and belongings intertwine with thoughts of the vast nature of ‘things' that we consume, cherish, gift, and discard and how these objects resonate on intimate and social scales. Over the last twenty years, Smith has gleaned visual poetry from textiles and explored concepts of ritual using breath, bunding and mark-making as tools toward abstraction. Her layered works range from palm-sized bundled microcosms to monolithic bales to massive chaotic paintings that contain vibrant and carefully collected mementos from her life. Smith's practice operates at the convergence of consumption and spiritual sanctuary, balancing forces and revealing connections across space and time, race, gender, and place to suggest the possibility of new worlds. Born in Baltimore, MD, currently residing in Los Angeles, California, Smith has received awards and prizes from Joan Mitchell, the Tiffany Foundation, Anonymous Was a Woman and the American Academy of Arts and Letters among others. Her work has gained attention through her participation in celebrated biennials and group exhibitions including the 13th Bienal de Cuenca and 8th Busan Biennale; Frequency at the Studio Museum in Harlem, 30 Americans organized by the Rubell Family Collection, UnMonumental at the New Museum and Hauser + Wirth LA's Revolution in the Making. Smith's work has also been exhibited and collected by other prestigious institutions such as the Baltimore Museum of Art; Brooklyn Museum of Art; California African American Museum, Denver Art Museum, the Frist, Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Minneapolis Art Institute, MOMA PS1, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, SCAD, the Ringling Museum of Art, the Whitney and the Guggenheim.

Synopsis It's summertime, the livin' is easy, and all across the country music festivals large and small are getting underway. In addition to the big symphonic festivals at Ravinia and Tanglewood, there are smaller ones devoted exclusively to the intimate art of chamber music. These festival often offer young, emerging composers the chance have their brand-new scores heard in workshop settings. Sometimes composers themselves are in charge of these summer festivals, partnering with established or specially-organized performing ensembles. In 1995, for example, two American composers, Daniel S. Godfrey and Andrew Waggoner, started up the Seal Bay Festival, a two-week series of performances and workshops of recently composed chamber music in the Penobscot Bay area of Maine. On June 14th, 2001, this newly-revised string quartet by Daniel Godfrey received its premiere by the Cassatt Quartet at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockport. The quartet is inscribed to the memory of Godfrey's mother, who died in 1997. “Her passing,” says Godfrey, “came to represent for me the losses, and the necessity of letting go, that have accompanied my arrival at late middle age. To oversimplify, perhaps, the first movement grieves, the second looks back wistfully, and the third looks ahead with determination and, ultimately, with hope.” Music Played in Today's Program Daniel S. Godfrey (b. 1949) –String Quartet No. 3 (Cassatt String Quartet) Koch 7573

Russell & Robert meet artist Ann Craven. We discuss painting the Moon in TriBeCa and Harlem, Her fascination with Birds as a subject in her work, Agnes Martin, grief and the loss of her father, the influence of Alex Katz's paintings (who she worked for having first met in Maine), snowy owls and a devestating studio fire twenty years ago in which she lost many artworks and belongings. We discuss an unexpected family connection to art legend Frank Stella, her close friendships with Karma Books Matt Shuster and artist Sophie von Hellerman, plus what it's like to be part of an artist couple with her husband the painter Peter Halley.Follow @Ann_Craven on Instagram. Visit Ann's official website: http://www.anncraven.com/ To learn more visit Karma Gallery: https://karmakarma.org/artists/ann-craven/bio/Ann Craven (b. 1967, Boston, MA) is known for her lush, serial portraits of the moon, birds, and flowers, as well as her painted bands of color. After completing each work, she dates and titles each palette, rendering it a unique and isolated index of her process. Craven's predilection for the copy—both from referent photographs and from her own plein air paintings—is both an homage to Pop Art and an exploration of remembrance. As she explains, “My paintings are a result of mere observation, experiment, and chance, and contain a variable that is constant and ever-changing—the moment just past.” Craven presented her first retrospective, titled TIME and curated by Yann Chevalier, at Le Confort Moderne in Poitiers, France in 2014. Recent solo exhibitions include Karma, New York (2021); the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, Rockland, Maine (2019); Shane Campbell Gallery, Chicago (2019); Karma, New York (2018); Southard Reid, London (2017); Maccarone, New York (2016); among others. Craven's paintings are in the public collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; New Museum, New York; and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, among others.

I absolutely love the work of artist Carly Glovinski. From her use of color to her exploration of pattern, Carly's work plays with the idea of the decorative and utilitarian. Her work investigates patterns and organizing systems found in everyday life with reverence for the history and behaviors contained in objects and places.   In this episode, we discuss living an authentic life and following our passions, from our work in the studio to DIY projects and restoring old homes.   Carly received her BFA in painting from Boston University in 2003 and her work is represented by Morgan Lehman Gallery, NYC. Recent solo exhibitions include Currents 8: Carly Glovinski at the Colby Museum of Art, Waterville, Maine, How to Build a Fire at Morgan Lehman Gallery, NYC, Tread Lightly at iMOCA, Indianapolis, and Scout Land at Carroll and Sons, Boston, MA.   Her work has been exhibited at numerous institutions including the deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA, Center for Maine Contemporary Art, Rockland, Portland Museum of Art, Portland, ME, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Jacksonville,FL, The Visual Art Center of New Jersey, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, and Boston Center for the Arts. She was the 2016 recipient of the Piscataqua Region Artist Advancement Grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, and an Artist's Resource Trust (A.R.T.) grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation and has recently completed residencies at the Studios at MASS MoCA, North Adams, MA and Teton ArtLab in Jackson, Wyoming.
