Samedi 14 juin, nous avons organisé un TWITCH LIVE, afin de débriefer de la CELEBRATION 2025 avec les fans. En compagnie de Pierre Jacquet de VIOLET, nous avons passé en revue tout le programme, et les annonces faites par l'Estate. Le but de faire cela sur Twitch est d'avoir des interactions, sur le CHAT d'abord, puis par téléphone avec différents passionnés qui se sont eux aussi rendus à Paisley Park début juin.C'est donc un épisode qui peut paraitre parfois un peu brouillon, car totalement improvisé, et très souvent en réaction à ce qui se dit sur Twitch. Mais pour celles et ceux qui n'étaient pas avec nous ce soir là, c'est un excellent moyen de tout connaitre de cette Celebration 2025, qui s'est tenue du 5 au 8 juin à Paisley Park, mais aussi dans différentes points stratégiques de la ville.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is one of the most renowned painters working in the world right now: Jenny Saville. Hailed for her at times colossal paintings of the human form – from close ups of the face, to examinations of exposed flesh – Saville is fascinated with the complex vessels that we all live inside. Theatrical and grotesque, beautiful and painful, her presentations of the body can feel almost like a landscape, pressed up against the surface of the canvas, in her masterful handling of paint that ranges from wet, to dry, oily to thin, thick and with shards and smears of colour. At once uneasy, raw, tense, and animal-like, Saville's portrayals of the body show how it transforms, grows, decays, and breathes… While full of contradictions, there is always a beauty, from the colours Saville uses to the golden light and textures that accentuate a knee, or finger. Born in Cambridge in 1970, as one of four siblings, Saville studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the 80s and 90s, and spent her final year in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she was exposed to a new set of American artists and feminist thought. In the 1990s, Saville quickly became one of the most anticipated painters challenging not just the medium of paint, or the depiction of the body, but reinventing the female nude or semi-nude body as a subject that has been entrenched in a male-gazed art history. Tackling Biblical and mythological narratives, referencing ancient Venus-like figures, as well as her own experience as a mother, Saville has constantly configured new ways of presenting the body, and in more recent years, has turned to stark, saturated colouring This year, she will open exhibitions at the Albertina, Vienna, her first major solo show in Austria; Anatomy of Painting at the National Portrait Gallery, London – that will bring together 50 works – and will travel to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas, for us to see the incredible trajectory of an artist who keeps reinventing flesh with paint – and I can't wait to find out more… LINKS!

Le 12 décembre 2015 contre toute attente, Prince sort sur la plateforme digitale Tidal, HitNRun Phase Two, soit 3 mois après la phase One qui en avait désarçonné plus d'un.À 57 ans, l'artiste est plus que jamais imprévisible, indépendant, et créatif. Ce qui distingue "Phase Two", c'est son assemblage unique de titres qui circulent déjà sur internet, tandis que d'autres morceaux sont issus de sessions d'enregistrement récentes à Paisley Park.Si pour certains HitNRun Phase 2 est supérieur à l'album précédent, plus cohérent, et ne cherchant pas à être dans l'ère du temps ; d'autres sont déçus que ce qui va devenir l'album testamentaire de l'artiste, soit une compilation de titres enregistrés sur 5 ans.Hébergé par Ausha.

It was a terrible time for Labour, down to just 52 MPs and having to choose a new leadership from a narrow pool from which most of the brightest lights, in the view of many but above all their own, were excluded. The Tories were on top of the world, with a clear majority. MacDonald still led the the National government, but in complete dependence on the Conservatives for his survival in office. A sharp change in direction of economic policy ended the linkage to the gold standard and introduced tariffs on imports. Both initiatives started to improve things, with growth back and with some strength. But the poor remained desperately poor.

Episode No. 614 features curator Kate Clarke Lemay and artist Maia Cruz Palileo. With Taína Caragol, Lemay is the co-curator of "1898: US Imperial Visions and Revisions" at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington. (Carlina Maestre assisted them.) The exhibition examines late-nineteenth-century US imperialism, especially the War of 1898 (often called the Spanish-American War), the Congressional Joint Resolution to annex Hawai'i (which was passed in July 1898), the Philippine-American War (1899-1913) and the US extension of its sphere to include Cuba, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The exhibition particularly -- but not exclusively -- looks at how portraiture was used by the US in an attempt to define peoples, and by both the US and by the leaders of other countries to establish status within the community of nations, and to project power. "1898" is on view through February 25, 2024. The forthcoming exhibition catalogue features an essay by Caragol that looks at how several contemporary artists are addressing the legacies of US imperialism in their work. Among the artists on whom Caragol focuses is Palileo, whose work often addresses her family's arrival in the United States from the Philippines, as well as the colonial relationship between the two countries. (The other artists Caragol addresses in her essay are Stephanie Syjuco, Gisela McDaniel, and Miguel Luciano.) Palileo's work often extends from research she conducted at the Newberry Library in 2017. The library's holds significant research collections related to the US imperial project in the Philippines, including a watercolor album by Damián Domingo and photographs made by Dean C. Worcester, a US zoologist who worked in the Philippines. Worcester's work was influential in shaping US public opinion about Filipinos. Palileo's work has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Katzen Arts Center at Washington's American University and at the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts at the California College for the Arts in San Francisco. She's been in group shows at institutions such as the Moderna Museet in Sweden, the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, the Bemis Center, Omaha, and the NPG. On September 8-9 the NPG will convene over 40 scholars and artists from the Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico, Hawai‘i, Cuba, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the US for a two-day symposium. In addition to panel discussions and gallery talks, the event will feature a keynote address by Pulitzer Prize-winner Ada Ferrer. All panels and the keynote address will take place in the McEvoy Auditorium in the Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture in Washington. RSVP here (it's free).
