From All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #074, part 5 2LT Elisha Kent Kane Wetherill was a PAFA-trained artist who specialized in landscapes and beach scenes. He joined the Army in 1915 and served during the Battles of Ypres and the Somme. While he survived a gas attack, his lungs were apparently damaged, which led to his premature death in 1929. 

All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #074   The United States was dragged into a war that it seemed nobody wanted, but that was inevitable anyway. Philadelphia produced massive amounts of materials for the American doughboys.   1LT Dillwyn Parrish Starr was impatient for action. He joined Britain's esteemed Coldstream Guard and was readily accepted by them. He was killed at the Battle of the Somme before the United States even got officially involved. CPT Alan Wood Lukens came from two families of steel mongers. Although he was killed in late September of 1918 at Meuse Argonne, his family did not discover the truth until several months later. Lukens was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross posthumously. MAJ Alfred Reginald Allen trained as a research neurologist and became one of the best photomicrographers in the country. He wrote operas, overtures, and hymns, and he founded the Savoy Company to perform the operettas of Gilbert & Sullivan. Yet when he volunteered for war service, it was as an officer in the Army. 2LT Elisha Kent Kane Wetherill trained at PAFA and in Paris with James Whistler. He was apparently wounded by poison gas and spent the last few years of his life suffering from its effects.

Blaise, infirmier quinquagénaire, traverse depuis de nombreuses années des épisodes d'instabilité en santé mentale. Il a connu plusieurs hospitalisations psychiatriques sans consentement, appelées en Suisse placements à des fins d'assistance (PAFA). Il revient sur ses expériences, vécues de manière contrastée : certaines lui ont été salutaires, d'autres non. Il témoigne de l'impact psychologique profond de ces placements, mais aussi de l'espoir que peut représenter une relation significative entre soignant et patient. Chaque année en Suisse, 2,1 personnes sur 1 000 sont hospitalisées sans leur consentement, un taux supérieur à la moyenne européenne. Comment concilier respect de la dignité et de l'autonomie des patients avec la nécessité d'assurer leur sécurité et celle de la société ? Alexandre Wullschleger, médecin adjoint agrégé au service de psychiatrie adulte des HUG et chercheur, partage son expertise et évoque des alternatives au placement.

America's oldest art school, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, is closing its degreed programs after a perilous drop in enrollment. It is just one of the many arts and humanities programs that are being slashed, retooled, and shut down across America. Nico, who both attended and taught at art school, and Jessa discuss the state of arts education, the tight grip the MFA has on the imaginations of our young artists, and why our world trains so many artists for jobs that do not exist.

Episode No. 603 is a holiday clips episode featuring artist Eamon Ore-Giron. Ore-Giron is one of twenty artists that the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the African American Museum in Philadelphia asked to respond to the question: is the sun rising or setting on the experiment of American democracy? The artists' answers are featured in the two-venue exhibition "Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America." Ore-Giron's work is in the PAFA section of the exhibition. The exhibition was organized by a six-person curatorial team and is on view through October 8.  Ore-Giron's work joins histories, geographies and abstraction as a means by which to explore the layered past and present of the Americas. He's been featured in solo shows and two-person shows at the MCA Denver, LAXART, Los Angeles, the 18th Street Arts Center in Los Angeles, and at PAFA. This episode was taped in January 2022 when The Anderson Collection at Stanford University presented “Eamon Ore-Giron: Non Plus Ultra.” For images, see Episode No. 534.  

With all of the tragedy that is going on in the world when was the last time you inhaled joy. How do you allow joy into your world? Joy is the prevalent even in the face of adversity. Sometimes we get so stressed and boggled down that you have to sometimes create joy. How you create joy is looking into the things that you desire or naturally gravitate towards.

Frieze Masters presents this conversation with Doron Langberg & Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the National Portrait Gallery in London. Their conversation explores various aspects of Langberg's work including his portraiture in the context of the resurrection of figurative painting, and the influence of his educational background.  "Painting really has always been my language, I feel like I almost think of it as my first language. I have been painting since I was very, very young and it's really kind of my way of experiencing the world... for me, my [artistic] process [involves questions of] how I can use painting in a meaningful way and bring something new." – Doron Langberg  Doron Langberg (@doronlangberg) was born in 1985 in Yokneam Moshava, Israel and currently lives and works in New York City. He received his MFA from Yale University School of Art, holds a BFA from the University of Pennsylvania, a Certificate from PAFA, and attended the Yale Summer School of Music and Art, Norfolk.

Breaking into a creative field, whether you choose to be self-employed or not, can really leave you feeling like you're up the creek without a paddle. Who are you supposed to talk to, and when? Also, where do you find them? What are you supposed to do in the meantime until things...happen? And once you start doing that thing, how you do know when to stop? We talked about it all at this panel discussion I moderated with three dynamic young artists, Brendan Keen, Mariel Capanna, and Brittany Bennett, about navigating the difficult transition from school to the working world. Each of them is following a unique path, and has tons to share about what they did wrong...and right!

We're less than a month away from the 2022 AACR Philadelphia Marathon. During the weekend of November 19-20 there will be marathon, half marathon and 8k - which is what I'm running. I pledged to raise a thousand dollars for the American Association for Cancer Research the oldest and largest cancer research foundation funding scientists making the big breakthroughs in cancer cures. I'm happy to say over the course of two days I'm there - just short 175 dollars away from my goal - so thank you! if you'd like to contribute you can go to my Instagram @loraineballard. you can also contribute by going to www.aacr/org/runners for research. I'm re-airing an interview with Mitch Stoller, Chief Philanthropic Officer and VP of Development at American Association for Cancer Research.p.s. an update. I've exceeded by goal raising $1025.00!!After my dad retired from 36 years in the army - he became the head of security for the National Gallery of Art in DC. During the summer of my teenage years, I would wander the galleries. My love of art started there. That's why I was especially interested in talking with the Pennsylvania Academy of the arts which has a new exhibit called Making American Artists. embracing stories about women artists, LGBTQIA+ artists, and artists of color. It also poses central questions about the artist's experience: what did it mean to be an American artist when the nation was founded? How had that changed by the late-twentieth century? it got me googling the artists we talk about in this interview with Dr. Anna Marley Chief of Curatorial Affairs and the Kenneth R. Woodcock Curator of Historical American Art Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.https://www.pafa.org/https://www.jamesbrantley.net/https://www.barkleylhendricks.com/

Figurative oil painter Martin Campos describes himself as a late bloomer. He began painting in earnest in his late 20s and didn't go to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) where he teaches now until his 30’s. Martin describes a pivotal moment at PAFA when an instructor with a Cheshire Cat grin made a suggestion that ended up changing everything about Martins paintings. Martin also talks about the domino effect in his work, how his paintings are almost premonitions of what his life will be, and why its so important to paint something that truly scares you.
