Repasamos cómo ha hecho de esa voz su identidad profesional y uno de sus principales recursos para conseguir encargos. Cristina explica que se siente especialmente cómoda trabajando para proyectos musicales y prensa, siempre prefiriendo encargos que le permitan mantener su universo visual. Su voz mezcla lo surrealista con una estética infantil y una dosis intencionada de perversión y oscuridad, integrando una paleta de colores limitada y composiciones narrativas originales, lo que ha sido clave para consolidarse como una ilustradora demandada en medios, marcas (Nike, Moog) y festivales como Razzmatazz o Gutter Festdestacar, en revistas de prestigio como The New York Times, The New Yorker, Die Zeit, Süddeutsche Magazine y El País, así como en editoriales como Penguin, Blackie Books y Anagrama. ¡Espero que disfrutes mucho del programa!Y recuerda, si te ha servido, has aprendido y te has reído, danos amorcico escribiéndonos en los comentarios, compartiendo tus reflexiones y siguiéndonos en todas las redes y plataformas del mundo mundial.CRÉDITOS Entradilla: Joan Llorca www.instagram.com/artnegre Colaborador: Cristina Daura https://www.instagram.com/cdaura/ Canciones de fondo: Bendsound Canción final: Paz Salem - Assirbey

Eun-Ha Paek in her studio in Brooklyn, 2024. Photo by Helmi Korhonen. Courtesy of Hostler Burrows Brooklyn-based multimedia artist Eun-Ha Paek's sculptures give physical form to the artist's inner narratives and personal history, while exploring broader themes of identity and human experience. Paek's hybrid approach to ceramics is informed by her background in animation and film. Her attempts to roll increasingly smaller, tighter coils eventually led her to introduce 3D printing to her practice, enabling detail that would not be possible by hand. The resulting pieces, while finally static, are created through a process that in many ways mimics stop motion animation. Paek's work, across media, investigates questions of identity through storytelling. Hints of recognizable references and motifs are present in her figures, but this host of characters is the unique product of a visual language developed to give shape to the artist's internal dialogue. Born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1974, Paek currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She received a BFA in Film/Animation/Video from the Rhode Island School of Design, where she has also been a guest lecturer. Paek's work has been exhibited throughout the United States and internationally, and she is the recipient of several awards and grants including the Windgate Scholarship and Rudy Autio Grant from the Archie Bray Foundation. Paek's animated films have screened in the Guggenheim Museum, Sundance Film Festival, and venues around the world. She has been a guest lecturer at the Fashion Institute of Technology, a visiting critic at the Maryland Institute College of Art, and she currently serves on the faculty at Parsons School of Design/The New School.

Episode 470 / Lucio Pozzi Lucio Pozzi was born in 1935 in Milan, Italy. After living a few years in Rome, where he studied architecture, he came to the United States in 1962, as a guest of the Harvard International Summer Seminar. He then settled in New York and took the US citizenship. A pioneer in working concurrently across different media, Pozzi has presented videotapeworks at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and watercolor landscapes at the John Weber Gallery in New York, regarded in its day as the “temple of Conceptualism.” He has shown work in Documenta 6 (1977) and at the Venice Biennale (U.S. Pavilion) in 1980. He occasionally writes and has taught at Cooper Union, the Yale Graduate Sculpture Program, Princeton University, School of Visual Arts and Maryland Institute College of Art, among other art schools in the US and Europe. His work is included in the collections of major international museums and private institutions and collectors. He currently lives and works in Hudson, NY, and Valeggio s/M (Verona) Italy.If you're in New York this May, check out Future Fair, an independent contemporary art fair celebrating its fifth anniversary in Chelsea from May 7th to 10th.

Join Tamara for an interview with Dana Richardson (b. Sewanee, TN), an artist, muralist, and art instructor at Savannah Christian Preparatory School. Her connection to landscape painting began during a year spent at the Marchutz School of Painting in the south of France.  Dana first moved to Savannah to get her B.F.A. in Painting from SCAD, and is currently pursuing an M.F.A. at the Maryland Institute College of Art, expected to graduate in 2026. In her current work, she explores the re-enchantment of spaces through her subconscious painting method, using automatic processes to channel internal landscapes. Dana returns annually to Ossabaw Island, where she completes a residency to study the unique environment. She currently has a piece installed at Artfields (running through May 3), and in June she and artist Lisa D. Watson will install collaborative work in the Boxed In/Break Out windows at the Jepson Center.  Check out Dana's work and follow her here:  https://www.instagram.com/danawrich/ https://www.danarichardsonart.com/   Tune in and get all the details! 

Art as Infrastructure: A Conversation on Social Practice, Community, and the Evolving Role of Nonprofit Art Spaces in Los Angeles An interview with Pranay Reddy, Director of LA Artcore In this compelling episode of What's My Thesis?, host Javier Proenza sits down with Pranay Reddy, the director of LA Artcore, for a far-reaching conversation that explores the role of nonprofit art spaces as vital community infrastructure in Los Angeles. With clarity, conviction, and deep sincerity, Reddy offers an unfiltered look at his trajectory from punk and zine culture in suburban Colorado to leading one of the city's longest-running artist-run institutions. The conversation traces Reddy's early exposure to alternative music and DIY media, his education at the Maryland Institute College of Art, and the profound influence of social practice artists on his own sculptural and photographic inquiries. Through personal reflection and institutional critique, Reddy unpacks the realities of inheriting LA Artcore's legacy and reimagining it for a new generation—one that demands transparency, inclusion, and intentional community-building. As the city contends with stark inequalities and ongoing housing crises, Reddy's leadership emphasizes LA Artcore's position in a broader ecosystem of mutual aid, solidarity, and decolonial cultural work. The discussion touches on the failures of the commercial art fair model, the limitations of traditional museums, and the importance of small-scale, grassroots infrastructures in giving artists room to experiment and be seen. Reddy shares details about LA Artcore's upcoming programming, including: Naman – A self-titled exhibition by a collective of Philippine X diaspora artists, opening March 15, exploring contemporary identity, historical presence, and visibility. Labkhand Olfatmanesh – A powerful installation centered on grief and grounding practices. Teamoz – An artist whose research into panda symbolism interrogates the complexities of U.S.–China relations. Tokyo Exchange Exhibition – Featuring ten artists from Tokyo, reactivating LA Artcore's longstanding commitment to international dialogue. Through it all, Reddy reaffirms his belief that artists are conduits of the communities they live and work in—and that art, at its best, is an infrastructure for care, connection, and change.

Tyler Ballon (b. 1996, Jersey City, NJ) creates monumental works inspired by the lives of people in his community. His artistic journey was shaped early on by his grandmother, a community activist and school lunch lady who embodied service and compassion. Tyler's grandmother recognized his talent and instilled in him a respect for others, regardless of their circumstances. Though initially torn between sports and art, Tyler chose the latter, dedicating himself to painting with the encouragement of his grandmother and his family. His parents, both pastors, reinforced his faith and sense of purpose. Tyler refined his skills through an advanced art program in his high school—the JC Arts program—and later at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where he earned his BFA in 2018. After graduation, Tyler returned to his community, making its people the focal point of his work. Through large-scale paintings, he honors their lives and experiences, ensuring they are seen and celebrated. His art embodies his faith, principles, and the legacy of his grandmother, offering encouragement and validation to those around him.

For more than three decades, trailblazing artist and activist Joyce J. Scott has elevated the creative potential of beadwork as a relevant contemporary art form. Scott uses off-loom, hand-threaded glass beads to create striking figurative sculptures, wall hangings, and jewelry informed by her African American ancestry, the craft traditions of her family (including her mother, renowned quilter Elizabeth T. Scott), and traditional Native American techniques, such as the peyote stitch. Each object that Scott creates is a unique, vibrant, and challenging work of art developed with imagination, wit, and sly humor. Born to sharecroppers in North Carolina who were descendants of enslaved people, Scott's family migrated to Baltimore, Maryland, where the artist was born and raised. Scott hales from a long line of makers with extraordinary craftsmanship adept at pottery, knitting, metalwork, basketry, storytelling, and quilting. It was from her family that the young artist cultivated the astonishing skills and expertise for which she is now renowned, and where she learned to upcycle all materials, repositioning craft as a forceful stage for social commentary and activism. In the 1990s, Scott began working with glass artisans to create blown, pressed, and cast glass that she incorporated into her beaded sculptures. This not only allowed her to increase the scale of her work, but also satisfied her desire to collaborate. In 1992, she was invited to the Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, Washington. Continuing her interest in glass, Scott has worked with local Baltimore glassblowers as well as with flameworking pioneer Paul Stankard and other celebrated glass fabricators. In 2012, Goya Contemporary Gallery arranged to have Scott work at Adriano Berengo's celebrated glass studio on the island of Murano in Italy, creating works that were part of the exhibition Glasstress through the Venice Biennale. Scott has worn many hats during her illustrious career: quilter, performance artist, printmaker, sculptor, singer, teacher, textile artist, recording artist, painter, writer, installation artist, and bead artist. Her wide-ranging body of work has crossed styles and mediums, from the most intricate beaded form to large-scale outdoor installation. Whether social or political, the artist's subject matter reflects her narrative of what it means to be Black in America.  Scott continues to live and work in Baltimore, Maryland. She received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and an MFA from Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Selected solo museum exhibitions include The Baltimore Museum of Art (2024); Seattle Art Museum (2024 – 2025); and Grounds for Sculpture (2018), Trenton, NJ. She is the recipient of myriad commissions, grants, awards, residencies, and prestigious honors including from the National Endowment for the Arts, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, Anonymous Was a Woman, American Craft Council, National Living Treasure Award, Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women's Caucus for the Arts, Mary Sawyers Imboden Baker Award, MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (2016), Smithsonian Visionary Artist Award, National Academy of Design Induction, and Moore College Visionary Woman Award, among others. In March of 2024, Scott opened a major 50-year traveling Museum retrospective titled Joyce J. Scott: Walk a Mile in My Dreams co-organized by the Baltimore Museum of Art and Seattle Art Museum. Also in 2024, Scott opened Bearing Witness: A History of Prints by Joyce J Scott at Goya Contemporary Gallery. Her latest exhibition, Joyce J. Scott: Messages, opened at The Chrysler Museum of Art on February 6, 2025 and will run through August 17, 2025 at the Glass Projects Space. This exhibition is organized by Mobilia Gallery, Cambridge, MA. Says Carolyn Swan Needell, the Chrysler Museum's Barry Curator of Glass: “We are thrilled to host this focused traveling exhibition here in Norfolk at the very moment when Scott's brilliant career is being recognized more widely, through a retrospective of her work that is co-organized by the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Seattle Museum of Art.”  In Messages, 34 remarkable beaded works of art spanning the artist's career express contemporary issues and concepts. Included in the show is Scott's recent beaded neckpiece, War, What is it Good For, Absolutely Nothin', Say it Again (2022). A technical feat in peyote stitch, infused with color and texture, this multilayered and intricate beadwork comments on violence in America. Embedding cultural critique within the pleasurable experience of viewing a pristinely crafted object, Scott's work mines history to better understand the present moment. The visual richness of Scott's objects starkly contrasts with the weight of the subject matter that they explore. She says: “I am very interested in raising issues…I skirt the borders between comedy, pathos, delight, and horror. I believe in messing with stereotypes, prodding the viewer to reassess, inciting people to look and then carry something home – even if it's subliminal – that might make a change in them.”

Heather Clements combines realistic portraiture, expressive abstraction, and elements of flora and fauna to represent a symbiotic relationship with nature. After growing up in Northern Virginia, she earned her BFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art before moving to Panama City, Florida. For Heather, creating art not only adds beauty with meaning into the world, but is a means for escaping depression. The category 5 hurricane that hit the Florida Panhandle took away so much of Heather’s life, including the nature she loved by destroying 70-90% of the trees over millions of surrounding acres. Within months she also lost multiple loved ones. After a year without making art, deep in grief and depression, the only thing that saved her was a week of isolation unplugged in the woods far from home, where she finally made gobs of healing art. Since then Heather’s art has evolved and exploded onto giant walls through expressive murals, making art accessible to all. Through her art, she hopes to move others to develop a deeper connection with their own natural surroundings. That bond encourages more sustainable practices, but also stronger mental health. Now residing in nature in Asheville, North Carolina, Heather is embracing creating the art her inner-most weirdo yearns to make. She has expanded into creating interactive art, through her new book “Pull Me Apart” with pull-tabs, spin wheels, and more, and numerous interactive murals.

Dr. Firmin DeBrabander is a philosophy professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art and he wrote an article appearing in the Fall Issue of The Hedgehog Review called “The Vast Dechurching and the Paradox of Christianity’s Decline.” He joins Midday to explain the changes in American Christianity.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

My guest today is Lauri Getlan-Watson. Lauri Getlan-Watson is a 57-year-old single mother of 12.5-year-old twins. Her life's journey has been marked by both challenges and joys, which she has navigated through her long standing passion for art. With a background that includes studying art at the prestigious Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and participating in their portfolio interviews, Lauri has been creating art for self-expression and healing for over three decades. With a Masters Degree from The Johns Hopkins University and having taught for 33 years, Lauri not only used art for her own processing but also introduced it to her students and her own children as a way to work through anger, cultivate gratitude, and find their authentic voices.During difficult times such as financial struggles, two divorces, and IVF treatments, as well as joyous milestones like the birth of her children and starting fresh after divorce, art provided an outlet when words failed. She found that the abstract nature of art allowed her to express herself freely, without owing explanations, as she intuitively knew the deeper meaning behind her work. Lauri's unique approach blends abstract art with Neurographica art– an intuitive, subconscious line work process. By tapping into this deeply personal form of line-making, she helps women give creative voice to their emotions, visions, and inner experiences. Her abstract paintings, workshops, and guided journeys create transformative spaces for feminine wisdom and spiritual growth to be embodied and celebrated through art.In this episode we discuss neurographica art, parenting, education, mental health and creative expression.Website - https://heartfulcreations.org/IG - https://www.instagram.com/lauri_abstract_art/FB - https://www.facebook.com/Heartfulcreations1/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauri-getlan-watson-a3892b107/In this episode you will learn:1. What the power of abstract and Neurographica art are as tools for self-expression and emotional healing.2.The important role that art plays in mental health and community building.3. How breaking free from limiting beliefs can lead to freedom and a renewed sense of purpose both personally and professionally. “I think we go in waves with the field of education. I definitely think there are ebbs and flows in terms of technology, we've grown leaps and bounds.” - 00:04:13“NeuroGraphika Art is actually a database-driven process, and it's where you are using your instinctual process of drawing lines. So I like to say that you use your non-dominant hand, because when you use your dominant hand, you're thinking too much. So you create what's like a mind map almost.” 00:18:49“if you are able to hold a pencil, a paintbrush, a sponge, a spoon, literally like household item is you can create art.” 00:31:21

Tulsa, Oklahoma artist Arthur Haywood is a winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Illustrators of the Future Contest and was honored along with eleven other artists and twelve other writers at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, California on April 25th. He illustrated the story, "Imagalisk" by Galen Westlake who is a Writers of the Future winner himself. The illustration and story, along with the other writers' and illustrators' stories and art are published in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 40 which were officially released on May 7th. Arthur Haywood was born in 1990 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Arthur's father is Pennsylvania State Senator Art Haywood. Creating graffiti murals as a teenager with his teacher, Pose 2, inspired him to share his work publicly in murals. Having a father who has organized reading camps as a State Senator, and a mother who has been president of the local school board showed him the influence of reading on the lives of students. Being an avid reader, who judged books by their covers, led him to sharing stories he loves with others through illustration. He is focused on making book covers, murals for libraries and schools to engage youth in reading. He earned a B.F.A in Illustration from The Maryland Institute College of Art, before furthering his study of classical art at Cambridge Street Studios in Philadelphia and Grand Central Atelier in New York. His paintings are seen in Space and Time Magazine, murals for the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, St. Joseph's University, Elkins Park School, Summer of Soul film, and his book, The Great Library. He is a recipient of the 2020-2021 Harriet Hale Woolley Scholarship at the Fondation des États-Unis in Paris. There he developed murals with students at Lycée Paul Lapie, Ecollectif and André Malraux Elementary school depicting students of diverse origins reading and the stories that have engaged them to encourage learning and cultural appreciation. He is a recipient of the 2022 - 2023 Tulsa Artist Fellowship where he is continuing his series of paintings for public schools and book covers to inspire reading. The Illustrators of the Future Contest judges include, Bob Mississauga, Ontario writer Mr. Galen Westlake is a winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest and was honored along with eleven other writers and twelve artists at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, California on April 25th. His story, "The Imagalisk," is published along with the other writers' and illustrators' stories and art in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 40 which was officially released on May 7th. Born and raised in Canada, Galen practices law in Toronto and spends his days talking a great deal to a great many people.

Arthur's father is Pennsylvania State Senator Art Haywood. Creating graffiti murals as a teenager with his teacher, Pose 2, inspired him to share his work publicly in murals. Having a father who has organized reading camps as a State Senator, and a mother who has been president of the local school board showed him the influence of reading on the lives of students. Being an avid reader, who judged books by their covers, led him to sharing stories he loves with others through illustration. He is focused on making book covers, murals for libraries and schools to engage youth in reading. He earned a B.F.A in Illustration from The Maryland Institute College of Art, before furthering his study of classical art at Cambridge Street Studios in Philadelphia and Grand Central Atelier in New York.

Born in 1924 in Baltimore, Maryland, Betty Cooke was a trailblazing designer celebrated for her minimalist and sculptural jewelry. Her work is defined by clean lines, geometric forms, and a timeless elegance that resonated across generations. After studying at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), where she later became a beloved faculty member, Betty opened her own studio and eventually co-founded The Store Ltd., a Baltimore institution that showcased her work for over five decades. Her jewelry, often handcrafted in silver and gold with touches of wood or acrylic, is iconic for its simplicity and boldness—pieces that remain instantly recognizable as “Betty Cooke.” Cooke's influence is immortalized in museums, galleries, and in the collections of those fortunate enough to own her designs. Her legacy is one of innovation, elegance, and unwavering dedication to her craft.About Ellen Lupton:Ellen Lupton is one of the most influential voices in contemporary graphic design. Born in 1963, she is a celebrated designer, writer, curator, and educator whose work has profoundly shaped design education and practice.

Ellen is perhaps best known for her book Thinking with Type, first published in 2004, which has become an essential guide for designers and is used in classrooms worldwide. Beyond her writing, she has played a pivotal role in shaping the Graphic Design MFA program at MICA, inspiring generations of designers with her innovative teaching methods.

Megan Sant is a friend of Kailea's from Los Angeles (and she is married to Jack Shih, another podcast guest from this season). Megan is a trained fine arts painter. She shares her trajectory to becoming an artist, and how her career was impacted when she became a mother to her two daughters (ages 13 and 9). After the pandemic and loss of her mother, Megan has been trying to find her way back to her art. She shares the immense vulnerability required to reclaim this part of herself, and how much flexibility she needs to let it look differently than it once did. Megan is driven by the desire to model courage for her kids - this is something we can all learn from and be inspired by. Megan's path to becoming a painter, including attending the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore and attending graduate school at CalArts in Los Angeles.  “Art World” beliefs Megan was exposed to such as: “You can't be a serious artist before age 40”, “Painting isn't a legitimate art form,” and “You need to be asked to have an art show”. The dichotomy in her mind that formed: “You can either be a serious artist OR you can be a mother – you cannot be both”. Do we want to be a “serious” artist by these definitions? Who makes up these rules? Can we reject them? Who are the gatekeepers of this world and what if we opt out? Can we create our own definition of legitimacy? Can painting what is in front of me (as a mother) become radical in its own right? Moving through the fears, insecurity and voices in our heads that tell us why we can't do it.  We are so grateful to our incredible sponsors.

“The Artist is Present” is a special series which is being hosted under the Catalyst: A Creative Industries Podcast of the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at Chapman University.  “The Artis is Present” was developed under the direction of the Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Collection of Art's Director, Fiona Shen, and Registrar, Jessica Bocinski, so that a wider audience would have the opportunity to hear directly from the artists in the Escalette Collection at the University. In this episode host Abigail Stephens  speaks with artist Elizabeth Turk. A native Californian, Elizabeth Turk is an artist, primarily known for marble sculpture. In 2010, she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship and the Annalee & Barnett Newman Foundation award. Today, she splits time between Santa Ana, CA and NYC. Turk received her MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, Rinehart School of Sculpture in 1994, her BA from Scripps College, Claremont, CA in 1983. Turk's work searches the boundaries of paradox: the contemporary in the traditional, the lightness in weight, the emptiness in mass, the fluidity of the solid, extended time in a moment. Reducing hundreds of pounds of stone to essential matrices of 5-25 lbs., her intricately carved sculptures defy gravity and make possible that which seems impossible. Inspired by the natural world, she references its myriad of elegant organic structures, yet her work is not complete until abandoned to larger environments, humbling the intensity of her creative focus. Her studio is located in Santa Ana, CA.

On this episode I'm joined by LaToya M. Hobbs. LaToya M. Hobbs is an artist, wife, and mother of two from Little Rock, AR, who is currently living and working in Baltimore, MD.

Her work is housed in private and public collections such as the Harvard Art Museum, Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art, the National Art Gallery of Namibia, the Getty Research Institute, and the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Casey Drake is a self-taught artist, author, illustrator, and mother currently based in Orlando, Florida. While always driven by a strong, intrinsic need to create, her artistic journey took an unexpected turn when her whimsical sidewalk chalk creations gained widespread recognition in 2020. Before this, Casey obtained a bachelor's of science in Biology, served as a Peace Corps volunteer in South Africa, and taught in under-served schools in Arizona and Florida. However, this sudden and extreme attention to her art ignited a newfound passion within her for illustration, as well as the motivation to pursue an artistic career path. Her diverse background in biology, education, and humanitarian work has led to an unique artistic perspective and irreverence in her work. In 2021, Casey unveiled her debut children's picture book, 'Hi, My Name is Why!', a passion project that resulted in a fully funded Kickstarter campaign and physical book. Currently pursuing a graduate degree in Business of Art and Design at Maryland Institute College of Art, Casey's vision extends beyond her personal artistic endeavors. She envisions establishing a combination community art and maker space—a convergence of art, creation, and community—in her future home of Washington State. This space will fuse a coffee bar with a maker space to cultivate a haven for creativity and connection. As she navigates through grad school and cultivates her artistic identity, Casey Drake stands poised to leave an indelible mark. CaseyDrake.com instagram.com/caseydrakemakes

We meet artist Li Hei Di on the eve of their debut UK solo exhibition 700 Nights of Winter at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London.In new paintings, Li explores primal, sexual urges with their signature fluid application of paint. Balanced on a knife edge between abstraction and representation, paintings feature figures that swim in and out of view beneath diaphanous veils of paint; each layer offers a different world, or a portal to an altered oneiric space, guided by desire and emotion. Multiple perspectives collide and overlap, creating dynamic compositions that offer manifold realities within a single work. Luminescent orbs appear as though submerged in deep water, giving the compositions a nebulous quality.Li's multidisciplinary practice is concerned with repressed desire, rooted in personal experiences of navigating hetero-normative environments that obstruct open expressions of queerness. Their work eschews rigid sexual codes and gender categories in favour of a liberated approach to fantasy and beauty, which exists apart from hierarchical and dominant social structures. For Li, the dichotomous relationship between sexual arousal and repression finds a parallel in the covert ways in which erotic love flourishes on cold winter nights, as bodies become entangled in pursuit of warmth, lost but for the other. The existential threat posed to romantic love by the culture of narcissism engendered under globalised capitalism sets the stage in Li's work for the negation of the self, in the radical recognition of another, as espoused in the writings of cultural theorist Byung-Chul Han.This commingling of two entities is found not only in humankind but in the natural world too, and Li's work explores the role animal pollinators play in the reproductive lives of plants. Such co-evolved relationships encapsulate the exuberance of life in connection with erotic activity and, therefore, death.In this new body of work Li also investigates the ways in which desire manifests and, notably, declines under the ‘pharmacopornographic regime', a term coined by philosopher Paul B. Preciado to describe the intersection of the pharmaceutical and pornographic industries. Li Hei Di (b. 1997, Shenyang, China) lives and works in London and received her MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art and a BA (Hons) from Chelsea College of Arts and the Maryland Institute College of Art. In 2024, Li will have a solo exhibition at Pond Society, Shanghai and will be part of a group exhibition at Le Consortium, Dijon. Recent exhibitions include Kohn Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2023); X Museum Triennial, Beijing (2023); Marguo, Paris (2023); Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas (2023), TX; CICA Vancouver (2023); Gagosian, Hong Kong (2023), and Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London (2023), amongst others.Li Hei Di's new solo exhibition runs from 15th March - until 20th April 2024.

For decades, graphic designers have been introduced to typography by Ellen Lupton's book, Thinking With Type. It was certainly a staple in Aarron's courses when he taught graphic design. It's now in its third edition, with loads of new content. It's worth noting, the layout of each page of this book is beautiful and entirely designed by Ellen herself.  We chat with Ellen about what's new in this edition of her book, and how people other than designers can use it. We also go through some rapid-fire questions about the fundamentals of typography, and origins of some of the terminology like points, leading, kerning, italics, and more. Whether you're new to typography, or a seasoned pro, you'll learn something from this conversation. Bio Ellen Lupton is a graphic designer, curator, writer, critic, and educator. Known for her love of typography, Lupton is the Betty Cooke and William O. Steinmetz Design Chair at Maryland Institute College of Art. Previously she was the Senior Curator of Contemporary Design at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City and was named Curator Emerita after 30 years of service. *** Visiting the links below is one of the best ways to support our show: Methodical Coffee: Roasted, blended, brewed, served and perfected by verified coffee nerds

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 11 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. This week we start Catalyst with an interview by Keri Wendt who speaks with Taylor Ross, co-founder of Bati Goods. Bati Goods, which was established in 2017, specializes in leather goods. Ross shares the fascinating story behind building a company in the heart of Paraguay, including the impetus behind the creation of Bati Goods, which sells hand-made leather-wrapped goods sourced directly from Paraguay. A portion of the profits from Bati Goods goes back to the students at The Macchi School in Tobati, a school that offers a top-notch college preparatory education, as a way to give back to the local community. Wendt and Ross discuss the culture differences between Paraguay and LA, and some of what goes into running an artisan business in a foreign country, giving the listener valuable insights and unique perspectives on this his small-business start-up and how it stands out from the rest. The second interview this week is conducted Ella Flanders, who sat down to talk with senior Fiber Arts major/experimental fashion design minor at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Maia Malakoff. They discuss how Malakoff explores the use of unconventional materials pushing the boundaries of conventional clothing collections, and touch on the difficulties of collaboration in an environment that praises individual creativity. Despite these challenges, Maia expresses how rewarding the experience of skill-sharing with her peers is and acquiring new techniques through collaborative efforts. The pair also cover how Malakoff draws inspiration from her background in dance which allows her to draw connection between movement and garments, seeking to convey how clothing can seamlessly interact with the human body. They conclude the interview by pondering Maia's plans for the future and her career aspirations in the fashion industry.

In this enlightening episode of the Design Atlas Podcast, we explore the creative realm of Kristian Bjørnard. With a focus on books, identities, websites, and digital tools, Kristian's graphic design practice navigates the intersections of design and sustainability. Through his personal exploration, he delves into the overlap between graphic design and sustainability, questions the pace of our culture, and advocates for medium-agnostic visual styling. Armed with an M.F.A. in graphic design from MICA and a B.A. in studio art from Kalamazoo College, Kristian brings a wealth of insight to our discussion on the evolving landscape of design and sustainability. He is currently a professor at The Maryland Institute College of Art. If you'd like to support the show or to learn more about Design Atlas, please visit www.designatlaspod.com.

I am super excited to share this episode with visual artist, Laura Payne.  Laura and I have an exciting discussion around ideas of multiple dimensions and how to express the feeling of these other dimensional spaces on a 2-D surface. We talk about her process and how important it is to just show up and get to work in the studio.  Laura touches upon how her way of understanding her work has changed a lot recently, especially in the wake of reading the book “The Creative Act: A Way Of Being” by Rick Rubin.  Laura and I also talk about the power of intuition and how hard it can be to embrace but how ultimately crucial it is.   ------------------------------ Laura Payne (b. 1987, Ottawa) is a visual artist based in Okotoks, Alberta, Canada. She received her BFA from the University of Western Ontario in 2010, and her MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art.

Many products are made by people but often don't consider human needs. The chair you're sitting on might not fit you well or suit your work habits and office setup. The same issue applies to how we approach work.Can a manager act as an experience designer to improve productivity, satisfaction, and well-being in the workplace? Is it practical and possible? Abraham Burickson, a design expert with over 20 years of experience, thinks so. He wants to change the way we think about design to create new possibilities in the workplace and beyond.Abraham Burickson is an author, speaker, and design expert with more than two decades of experience in exploring experience design. He is the co-founder and Artistic Director of Odyssey Works, where he plans immersive artistic experiences involving up to 100 artists in various locations across the U.S. In this episode, Dart and Abraham discuss:- How to create a transformative experience for a single individual- Whether or not managers can be experience designers- Why experience is not designable - How to implement experience design at work- Baking experiences within static products- Companies as a platform for the co-creation of experience- The origin story and myths of organizations- And other topics…Abraham Burickson has spent over two decades exploring experience design. As the co-founder and Artistic Director of Odyssey Works, he directs up to 100 artists at a time while designing experiences for one-person audiences across the U.S. With a background in architecture from Cornell University, he has also studied the transformative power of designed experience with the Whirling Dervishes of Turkey, the Shuar of the Ecuadorian Amazon, and with countless artists, designers, and students over the years.

Jeremy Sorese is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York. After graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2010, he was accepted to La Maison des Auteurs, a residency program in Angoulême, France, where he worked from 2012 through 2013. His first book Curveball, published with Nobrow in 2015, was nominated for a Lambda Literary Award. A sequel, The Short While, was published with Archaia in November 2021. He's been teaching art for 11 years with stints at the Maryland Institute College of Art, and most recently at The New School and SVA. His solo show of paintings entitled Pleasure Principle, opened Friday October 13th and continues through Thursday November 10th at AuxierKline Gallery in Manhattan.

To Sanford Biggers, the past, present, and future are intertwined and all part of one big, long now. Over the past three decades, the Harlem-based artist has woven various threads of place and time—in ways not dissimilar to a hip-hop D.J. or a quilter—to create clever, deeply metaphorical, darkly humorous, and often beautiful work across a vast array of mediums, including painting, sculpture, video, photography, music, and performance. Among his standout works are “Oracle” (2021), a 25-foot-tall cast bronze sculpture that combines a Greco-Roman form with an African mask; his “BAM” series (2015) of gunshot statuettes; and his ongoing “Codex” series of quilts, which have, over his past decade of making them, become an especially potent and ritualistic part of his art-making.On this episode, Biggers talks about the influence that musicians such as Mahalia Jackson, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder have had on his art; why he thinks of himself as a “material polyglot”; and why religious and spiritual works like reliquaries, shrines, and “power objects” are the bedrock of his practice.Special thanks to our Season 8 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:[00:26] Sanford Biggers[03:55] “Sanford Biggers with Yasi Alipour”[07:14] “The Playful, Political Art of Sanford Biggers”[12:34] Moon Medicin[13:36] Mahalia Jackson[13:39] Ray Charles[13:40] Charles Mingus[13:41] Thelonious Monk[15:32] Stevie Wonder[16:06] Prince[18:00] Dick Gregory[18:01] Richard Pryor[18:02] Redd Foxx[18:47] “BAM” series[27:17] “re:mancipation”[29:05] Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture[30:08] John Biggers[31:41] “Codeswitch” at the California African American Museum[33:28] Dr. Leslie King-Hammond[33:30] Maryland Institute College of Art[37:47] University High School[38:23] Morehouse College[38:33] Art Institute of Chicago[47:34] Isamu Noguchi[47:36] Martin Puryear[49:06] “Lotus”[50:31] “Orin”[55:52] “Meet Me on the Equinox”[55:52] “Back to the Stars”

From Athletes Unlimited: SPARKS, Md. — Goalkeeper Taylor Moreno became the first player in any Athletes Unlimited sport to claim consecutive titles after edging attacker Sam Apuzzo to win the 2023 Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse title after an exciting finish at USA Lacrosse Headquarters on Sunday afternoon. Moreno, who secured the championship as a rookie last summer, beat out Apuzzo for the second straight year to finish atop the 57-player leaderboard with 1,679 points. Apuzzo, who claimed her third straight medalist honor, followed with 1,667 points. Goalkeeper Kady Glynn secured third place with 1,346 points while rookie defender Abby Bosco finished fourth with 1,301 points. Bosco, the first defender in league history to earn a medal, was named as the Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Year, while goalkeeper Mira Shane earned the Teammate of the Year award in a vote of the league's players. Defenders Lizzie Colson, Courtney Taylor and Caroline Wakefield joined Bosco as members of the league's All-Defensive Team. Athletes Unlimited also announced that it will continue with a fourth season of lacrosse in 2024. Details regarding timing and location will be announced at a later date. After setting the league single-season saves record last summer, Moreno eclipsed her standard this season by pacing the league with 140 saves over 12 games, including eight outings with 10 or more saves. She also established a new single-game record with 17 saves against Team Apuzzo on July 30. To commemorate her victory, Moreno will receive a medal designed and hand-fabricated by Lisa Issenberg, founder of Kiitellä, inc. Kiitellä is a Finnish word meaning “to thank, applaud or praise,” and Issenberg creates awards that are innovative, mixed-media, non-traditional works of art, pieces that celebrate accomplishment, humanity, and philanthropy. Kiitellä is committed to being a responsible steward of our environment, with each step in the process, from design to fabrication to delivery, using minimal energy and material. Athletes Unlimited will also commission a portrait of Moreno for its Champions Collection, which features emerging artists whose work and approach speaks to the mission and values of Athletes Unlimited. The portrait will be created by Graham Martini, a 2022 graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art. The Charleston, South Carolina, native creates contemplative, fantastical, otherworldly and psychological pieces in the form of still lives, figurative and abstract works. His surreal still lives and figurative images reveal the sense that time and associative reasoning do not operate in a linear fashion. Martini depicts this idea through the representation of simultaneity through collage-like compositions as well as transmutational objects – entities that seemingly change form. “I'm super grateful to have the opportunity to even come out here and win another [title], but it's also a testament to my teammates and all of the support that I've had over the last two years,” Moreno said. “I am super grateful for that and can't thank everyone enough for being so supportive.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lax-all-stars/message

This week, we're exploring the intersection of agriculture, artistry, and history through the lens of indigo, a significant cash crop in the colonial period with inextricable ties to the slave trade. So inextricable, in fact, that slavery wasn't even legal in Georgia until 1751, when British governors recognized the economic potential of the plant and its distinctive blue dye. Our guest today is Sheri Parks, Ph.D is a renowned community strategist, scholar, and writer who currently serves as the Program Director of the Natural Dye Initiative, a multi-part project whose aim is to explore the cultural and economic impact of indigo in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions by reintroducing it to Black farmers and artists. In this episode, we discuss the transformative impact of reclaiming indigo production in the southern United States, how the Natural Dye Initiative makes it economically viable for a new generation of farmers, and touch on the global significance of this remarkable plant. Dr. Parks formerly served as the VP of Strategic Initiatives at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and as Associate Dean of Arts and Humanities and Professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland. Her scholarly work focuses on how art and aesthetics affect our day to day lives and how aesthetics can be used as a tool for social justice.Show NotesHow Beauty Works Panel (YouTube)Fierce Angels: Living with the Legacy from the Sacred Dark Feminine to the Strong Black Woman by Sheri Parks, Ph.DUpton Planning CommitteeMaryland Institute College of Art (MICA)Natural Dye Initiative Origin StoryNeighborhood Fiber Co.

Using a public bathroom is usually not the highlight of your day. However, when it comes to choosing which stall or urinal to use, there is a way to minimize your potential exposure to germs and bacteria. I begin this episode by telling you which one you should choose – and if that one is taken, what should be your second choice. https://www.womansday.com/health-fitness/wellness/a58568/cleanest-bathroom-stall/ Sure, we've all heard how amazing the human brain is. Yet, it actually is rather lousy at many things. For instance, memories get distorted, your brain makes a lot of mistakes and misjudgments and there are plenty of other things is does not do particularly well. What's interesting is those flaws are actually a good thing according to Henning Beck, a neuroscientist and author of the book Scatterbrain: How the Mind's Mistakes Make Humans Creative, Innovative and Successful (https://amzn.to/31EemMJ). Listen as he describes how these brain deficiencies actually help make your life better, even though it is sometimes hard to see.  The Internet can make your life a lot easier, however you do pay a price. And that price is your privacy, according to Firmin DeBrabander, professor of philosophy at the Maryland Institute College of Art. He is also author of the book Life After Privacy (https://amzn.to/3fzlORx). Listen as Firmin reveals what the potential dangers are and why so many people are gladly willing to give up their privacy anyway.  You may have noticed that most pencils are not round and instead have six sides. Why? Some people believe it is to prevent the pencil from rolling off the table. That may be a benefit – but it is not the reason. Listen as I explain the real reason. Source: Douglas B.
