Now that spring is here once again, it's time to talk about rebirth, renewal, and re-energizing our travel plans. A few special guests join Jim and Zack- Jackie, Zack's wife and Danny, Zack's oldest son, as well as our buddy, Dave Lehan.

And the whole bunch shares their most awkward situations. 

In his new book, Nathan K. Hensley describes a mood or a vibe or an intuitive response to the contemporary moment when one feels powerless in the face of collapsing societal systems. Given the entrenched nature of the present crisis, with compulsory happiness being marketed by the culture industry, how does one work within systems from which no true escape is possible? In order to uncover a prehistory of this feeling, he goes back to the nineteenth century - to artists like J.M.W. Turner and writers like Emily Bronte and Christina Rossetti who were thinking about what it means to inhabit a world omnivorously captured by capital. Nathan K. Hensley is the author of Forms of Empire: The Poetics of Victorian Sovereignty (Oxford, 2016), and co-editor, with Philip Steer, of Ecological Form: System and Aesthetics in the Age of Empire (Fordham, 2018). With Devin Garofalo, he is currently coediting a collection of essays that's forthcoming from Northwestern UP, The Barbara Johnson Collective. His new book is Action without Hope: Victorian Literature after Climate Collapse, forthcoming from Chicago UP in April 2025. He was born in Fresno, California and lives in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Graham Marks produces exuberant, coil-built ceramics adorned with vibrant glazes, which combine functionalism with visual delight. Of late, Marks has embraced loose, sinuous forms from which coils of clay spill in dynamic and improvisatory compositions. His candelabras and flower vases contain a wild energy all their own, full of brash, linear abandon. In their merging of pattern and embellishment, they recall the intricate crafts of eighteenth-century France, bringing rococo flourishes to the timeless theme of utilitarian vessels. Marks taught ceramics at Kansas State University, Rochester Institute of Technology, and the Cranbrook Academy of Art, where he was Head of Ceramics from 1986 to 1992. His work has been exhibited internationally and collected privately; it is held by numerous public institutions including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Yale University Art Gallery, Detroit Institute of Art, the Everson Museum, the Museum of Art and Design, the Cranbrook Museum of Art, the Stedelijk Museum, the Hermitage Museum, and the National Gallery of Australia. From 1992 to 1995, he studied acupuncture with J.R. Worsley, establishing a private practice which ran successfully for two and a half decades. In 2020, Marks returned to ceramics. He splits his time between Brooklyn and Alfred, NY. Graham Marks, Collection of Candelabras, 2023–24. Glazed stoneware, thrown, coiled, and pinched. Dimensions vary. Courtesy of Hostler Burrows.

Rocky Balboa fans went the distance—by bus, on ice skates, by 72 steps—to honor Philly's favorite fictional fighter almost 50 years after the first movie launched the enduring series of an underdog boxer persevering despite the odds. The city Rocky called home at last has a week dedicated to the box office heavyweight champion of the world, more than a year after the inaugural Rocky Day was held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps. RockyFest officially opened on December 3, when the second cast of the Rocky statue was unveiled at the top of the Rocky steps—where the original was featured in Rocky III—and remained there through December 31. Dozens of students ran up the steps to kick off the event. Patricia Todisco, a visitor from New York City, said she is a huge Rocky fan. Even though it's a fictional story, the movie has inspired her in life and deepened her love for Philadelphia as a city. Azra Hayer traveled from England to see her daughter who's studying in the city. She said that when foreign visitors think of Philadelphia, they think of Rocky. But she hopes the festival will show everyone that there's a lot more to the city. Eli Shaika runs Rowhome Coffee, a café located in the Kensington area of Philadelphia where the film was shot. He feels that the people of Philadelphia resonate with Rocky and have adopted the character's underdog mentality. The Philadelphia Visitors Center hatched RockyFest—which ran through December 8—in part for an overdue appreciation of the series as well as connecting locals and tourists to movie sites beyond the bronze statue. RockyFest events include a mural unveiling, movie marathons, RockyU discussions on the enduring appeal of Stallone's most famous character, look-alike contests and even a bus tour.

Today on the podcast we continue our conversation with Jeff Way, an artist who has lived and worked in New York's Tribeca neighborhood since 1969. Featured in the 1973 Whitney Biennial and a subsequent solo exhibition there, Way's work has been shown at institutions like the New Museum, the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, and the ICA Philadelphia. His innovative Chalk Line Paintings, begun in the late 1960s, explore the grid through layered lines of raw pigment, a technique he revisits in his recent Eccentric Squares series. With works in major museum collections, including the Whitney and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Way continues to push the boundaries of color, form, and dimensionality.In part two of my conversation with Jeff Way, we delve deeper into the influences and processes that have shaped his artistic career. Jeff reflects on the importance of community and collaboration, sharing how these connections have impacted his work over the years. We discuss his early successes, the confidence they inspired, and how he's navigated both praise and criticism throughout his career. With thoughtful reflections on his legacy, Jeff offers a candid look at the highs and lows of a lifetime dedicated to art. You can now support this podcast by clicking HERE where you can donate using PATREON or PayPal!If you're enjoying the podcast so far, please rate, review, subscribe and SHARE ON INSTAGRAM! If you have an any questions you want answered, write in to artmatterspodcast@gmail.comhost: Isaac Mannwww.isaacmann.cominsta: @isaac.mannguest: Jeff Waywww.jeffwayart.cominsta: @jeffwayartThank you as always to ARRN, the Detroit-based artist and instrumentalist, for the music. 

“I appreciate the Rococo for its extravagance and theatricality, as it appeals to my love of kitsch.”- STUART NETSKY      Netsky is a conceptual artist making paintings, mixed media sculptures, prints and other objects. An original voice and artist whose work jumps off the canvas and confronts us with the eclectic absurdity of our image inundated culture. A lover of the theatrical, mixed with his unique version of pop and Romantic master painting.  His work is made in distinct series, creating a pictorial eclecticism that obscures our ability to make sense of the image, acting as a metaphor for the confusion and shifting dichotomies in social interactions.Digital images speak to our technologically driven world and reflect the temporal paradox in pop culture whereby the past is brought to the present, the present to the past. He digitally appropriates art and historical images with those from film and popular culture, juxtaposed with psychedelic and floral patterns and mixes them all together. His influences include Francois Boucher and Gerhard Richter, Jean-Honore Fragonard, Gene Davis, Bridget Riley, Nicholas Krushenick and Jean-Antoine Watteau, among others - the rococo and abstraction, op art and pop art, anime and realism, and the psychedelic all come together, layered, spliced and distorted, materials that evoke the psychosexual. He views his practice as a drag display operating within the  time he has lived in while embracing nostalgia and romanticism for their tender and universal  sensibilities. He received a Master of Art in Art Education from Philadelphia College of Art in 1986 and went on to receive a Master of Fine Art in sculpture from Tyler School of Art, Elkins Park, PA in 1990. Netsky was an Adjunct Professor at The University of the Arts, Philadelphia, and is currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Jefferson University. He has had solo exhibitions of his work at Philadelphia's Institute of Contemporary Art, Larry Becker Contemporary Art, Richard Anderson, NYC, Locks Gallery, Bridgette Mayer Gallery, and a retrospective at the Rosenwald Wolf Gallery, University of the Arts. He has also shown in innumerable group shows nationally and internationally. In 1995, he received the Pew Fellowship in the Arts. His work is in the collections of The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art, The Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, Woodmere Art Museum, as well as the Johnson and Johnson Collection and many private collections.

With works in major museum collections, including the Whitney and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Way continues to push the boundaries of color, form, and dimensionality.On this episode we discuss Jeff's return to his early ideas and techniques, tracing how his style has evolved through changing mediums and approaches. Jeff shares insights into the balance between precision and mistakes in his process, the role of collage and masking tape in his work, and the transparency and layering of color that define his signature aesthetic. We also discuss how he embraces both mess and finesse in his art. From his early artistic influences to his current exploration of grids and eccentric forms, this conversation offers a compelling look into the life and work of a masterful painter and thinker.You can now support this podcast by clicking HERE where you can donate using PATREON or PayPal!If you're enjoying the podcast so far, please rate, review, subscribe and SHARE ON INSTAGRAM!  If you have an any questions you want answered, write in to artmatterspodcast@gmail.com host: Isaac Mann www.isaacmann.cominsta: @isaac.mann guest: Jeff Way www.jeffwayart.cominsta: @jeffwayartThank you as always to ARRN, the Detroit-based artist and instrumentalist, for the music.

Rocky fans, you're in for a treat!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (11/04/2024): 3:05pm- What Are the Pollsters Saying? The New York Times released its final poll prior to tomorrow's Presidential Election and, unsurprisingly, the race is a coin toss. The poll reveals Kamala Harris has small leads in Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Donald Trump leads in Arizona—with statistical ties in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Real Clear Politics polling averages show Trump winning in 5 of the 7 most critical swing states. And The Hill's Election Forecast indicates Trump has a 54% likelihood of winning the election. 3:20pm- Donald Trump Jr.—Executive Vice President at The Trump Organization—joins The Rich Zeoli Show LIVE from his father's campaign rally in Reading, Pennsylvania to preview Election Day! 3:40pm- On Monday, Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Reading, Pennsylvania. 4:05pm- On Monday night, Democratic Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris will host a campaign rally at the Philadelphia Museum of Art—which will include a free concert featuring Lady Gaga, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Ricky Martin. Oprah Winfrey and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will also be there. Enjoy the traffic, Philadelphia!! 4:10pm- In a New York Times editorial, polling expert Nate Silver said his “gut says Trump” will win the 2024 presidential election. He also noted that pollsters may be “herding toward a false consensus” and that, according to his model, “there's about a 60 percent chance that one candidate will sweep at least six of seven battleground states.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/opinion/election-polls-results-trump-harris.html 4:15pm- Over the weekend, Ann Selzer of the Des Moines Register released bombshell polling data indicating that Kamala Harris is beating Donald Trump in Iowa—a state considered to be comfortably red. But is the poll simply an outlier? Selzer has a history of underestimating Republican support, and she incorrectly predicted the outcome of Iowa's 2018 gubernatorial race. Additional evidence Selzer's polling might be inaccurate: newly released Emerson polling data suggests Trump is leading by 10-points. 4:30pm- Congresswoman Kat Cammack—U.S. Representative for Florida's 3rd Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview Election Day and to discuss her tireless efforts campaigning throughout Pennsylvania on behalf of the Trump-Vance campaign. 4:50pm- BREAKING NEWS: According to the Associated Press a Pennsylvania Judge has ruled that Elon Musk can continue to run his $1 million a day sweepstakes to encourage voter registration. 5:00pm- Christopher Ruddy—CEO & Editor in Chief of Newsmax Media—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to preview the latest trends in key battleground states and Newsmax's planned initial public offering. 5:15pm- Jimmy Failla—Host of “Fox News Saturday with Jimmy Failla” & Author of the book, “Cancel Culture Dictionary”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show for a very exciting announcement: 1210 WPHT's next Politics & Pints will feature Jimmy Failla and Rich Zeoli on Wednesday November 13th in Media, PA. For tickets and information, visit: https://www.audacy.com/1210wpht/events/politics-and-pints-with-jimmy-failla 5:40pm- CNN's Outfront with host Erin Burnett and Andy Kaczynski—KFile Senior Editor—reports that the Harris-Walz campaign is using conflicting messages to appeal to Jewish voters in Pennsylvania and Arab voters in Michigan. 6:00pm- Mainstream Media Fearmongering. Rich points out that (very unbiased journalist) George Stephanopoulos and Johnathan Karl both suggested there could be dire consequences for American democracy if the wrong candidate wins. 6:30pm- Curtis Bashaw—Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate in New Jersey—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his race against Democrat Senate candidate Andy Kim. Can Bashaw become the first Republican to win a U.S. Senate seat since 1972? You can learn more about Bashaw's campaign he ...

Camp's unique printing methods are based on early 19th Century non-silver photographic processes. In 1990 Camp began his most acclaimed series, Dust Shaped Hearts. These large photographic monoprints are created with raw earth pigment and casein, and transmit haunting and intimate images of the human face. He is the recipient of many prestigious awards, including the Guggenheim and Pew Grants. His work is included in many important collections including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art , and the Simon Guggenheim Collection.  

Given the differences in power, and definitions of success, how can arts and change collaborations between institutions of higher learning and their local communities be equitable and accountable? And how can change oriented artists practice effectively and ethically with a foot in each camp? Billy Yalowitz has had a career as a theater director and choreographer that I think provides provocative answers to both questions and more.This podcast features a rich conversation between Bill Cleveland and Billy Yalowitz, focusing on the intersection of community arts and social justice. At the heart of their discussion is the importance of facilitating equitable collaborations between artists and their communities, particularly in the context of higher education. Yalowitz shares insights from his diverse career as a theater director and choreographer, emphasizing the necessity of understanding one's own heritage and community narratives before engaging with others. The dialogue also explores the significance of storytelling as a means of empowerment and healing, particularly in marginalized communities. Ultimately, the episode highlights the transformative power of art in bridging divides and fostering mutual understanding across different cultural backgrounds.A key highlight of the episode is the Black Bottom Performance Project, where Yalowitz worked to amplify the voices of a community displaced by urban renewal. This project not only sought to reclaim lost stories but also fostered a sense of belonging among participants. Yalowitz emphasizes the importance of creating spaces for collective memory and narrative sharing, illustrating how art can bridge divides and facilitate healing. The project serves as a testament to the potential of community arts to address historical injustices and promote social cohesion, prompting listeners to consider the power of storytelling in their own lives.As the episode progresses, the discussion evolves into pressing contemporary issues, particularly climate justice and the disconnection from land that many communities experience. Yalowitz shares his ongoing work in the Hudson Valley, where he seeks to reconnect with his cultural roots while collaborating with indigenous peoples. This aspect of the conversation underscores the interconnectedness of social justice and environmental stewardship.Key Moments03:47 The Keys to the Kingdom: Billy's Building Project05:29 Exploring Identity and Community08:48 Golden's Bridge: A Cultural Sanctuary15:22 The Tradition of Community Arts21:40 The Legacy of Folk and Modern Dance26:05 The Black Bottom Performance Project27:23 Community Stories and Reparations32:15 Migrations and Hyphenations: An Israeli/Palestinian Sago36:25 The Birth Narrative and Twin, Twin Transfusion Syndrome41:54 Challenges and Breakthroughs in Rehearsal47:06 Land Amnesia and Climate Justice51:40 Reflections and InspirationsBIOBilly Yalowitz is a writer, director and community arts practitioner whose writings and interdisciplinary performance works draw from public history and chronicle grassroots movements for self-determination.Yalowitz's interdisciplinary performance works have been presented off-Broadway and internationally.

We meet Ekow Eshun, leading curator, writer and broadcaster to discuss his new book The Strangers.In the western imagination, a Black man is always a stranger. Outsider, foreigner, intruder, alien. One who remains associated with their origins irrespective of how far they have travelled from them. One who is not an individual in their own right but the representative of a type. What kind of performance is required for a person to survive this condition? And what happens beneath the mask?In answer, Ekow Eshun conjures the voices of five very different men. Ira Aldridge: nineteenth century actor and playwright. Matthew Henson: polar explorer. Frantz Fanon: psychiatrist and political philosopher. Malcolm X: activist leader. Justin Fashanu: million-pound footballer. Each a trailblazer in his field. Each haunted by a sense of isolation and exile. Each reaching for a better future.Ekow Eshun tells their stories with breathtaking lyricism and empathy, capturing both the hostility and the beauty they experienced in the world. And he locates them within a wider landscape of Black art, culture, history and politics which stretches from Africa to Europe to North America and the Caribbean. As he moves through this landscape, he maps its thematic contours and fault lines, uncovering traces of the monstrous and the fantastic, of exile and escape, of conflict and vulnerability, and of the totemic central figure of the stranger.Described as a ‘cultural polymath', Ekow Eshun has been at the heart of international creative culture for several decades, curating exhibitions, authoring books, presenting documentaries and chairing high-profile lectures. His work stretches the span of identity, style, masculinity, art and culture. Ekow rose to prominence as a trailblazer in British culture. He was the first Black editor of a major magazine in the UK (Arena Magazine in 1997) and continued to break ground as the first Black director of a major arts organisation, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London (2005-2010).As Chairman of the commissioning group for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, he leads one of the world's most famous public art projects.In July 2022, Ekow curated In the Black Fantastic at the Hayward Gallery in London a landmark exhibition of visionary Black artists exploring myth, science fiction and Afrofuturism. His most recent exhibition, The Time Is Always Now, is a landmark study of the Black figure and its representation in contemporary art. The show opened at the National Portrait Gallery, London and is travelling to multiple venues in the USA, including The Philadelphia Museum of Art.Eshun's writing has appeared in publications including the New York Times, Financial Times, The Guardian, The Observer, Esquire and Wired. His latest book is a work of creative non fiction called The Strangers, published by Penguin in September 2024.Follow @EkowEshun or www.ekoweshun.co.uk/Buy The Strangers, his new book from Waterstone's.

Guggenheim Museum in New York City; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; the Hara Museum in Tokyo; and the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art in Amsterdam, among others.

The Week in Art is back. In this first episode of the season: on Tuesday it was reported in the Financial Times that Sotheby's core earnings are down 88% in the first half of this year. This is the latest evidence to suggest that the art market may be in a far more serious economic rut than its major players have previously indicated, after disappointing sales and job cuts at the major auction houses, as well as closures and layoffs in the world of commercial galleries. In the September issue of The Art Newspaper, Scott Reyburn suggests that the art market could be entering a new era, and he joins our host Ben Luke to explain why. We then talk to Sasha Skochilenko, the artist who was freed in the prisoner exchange between Russia and the US in August, about her activism, arrest and incarceration as well as her experience of the swap and the art she has made since. And this episode's Work of the Week is The Angel of Hearth and Home, made by Max Ernst in 1937, and later renamed by the artist as The Triumph of Surrealism. The painting is part of the major travelling show marking the 100th anniversary of the first Surrealist manifesto, which makes its stop from this week at the Centre Pompidou, in Paris. Our associate digital editor, Alexander Morrison, went to Paris to talk to Didier Ottinger, the co-curator of the exhibition.Sasha Skochilenko: skochilenko.ru.Surrealism, Centre Pompidou, Paris, until 13 January 2025; Fundación MAPFRE, Madrid, Spain; 4 February-11 May 2025; Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg, Germany, 12 June-12 October 2025; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, US, end of 2025-beginning of 2026.

Sarah McEneaney's art is singular and unique in its focus on the everyday existence of the artist. Living in the middle of the very busy and complicated city of Philadelphia, she has created a lifestyle of almost monastic discipline as an artist. McEneaney is also an activist and community leader including the formation of the Callowhill Neighborhood Association in 2001, and the co-founding of the Reading Viaduct Project in 2003. She works mostly in egg tempera, and her work is raw and direct, a slow moving autobiographic investigation of the nature of her life, and our life. In that way her paintings are very universal and profound.  She has shown her work in major galleries and museums for the last 40 years, including an extensive retrospective in 2004 at the Institute of Contemporary Art at the university of Pennsylvania. She is included in major collections including Philadelphia Museum of Art,[2] Mills College Art Museum,[3] the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts,[4] Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Woodmere Art Museum  in Philadelphia.

Sylvester Stallone was not making it, trying to be an actor. So, instead of giving up, he tried a different path. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [ASAP Commercial Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast. I'm Dave Young. That's Stephen Semple sitting to your right, however you're facing your podcast listening device. As we normally do, Stephen whispered the topic into my ear just as the countdown thing was going, and I'm a little flustered and confused because I'm not sure what we're talking about. He said, "We're going to talk about the Rocky franchise." And literally, the first thing that came to my mind was Rocky and Bullwinkle. Stephen Semple: Oh, no, no, no. Not Rocky and Bullwinkle. Dave Young: And I'm like, really? That's an empire? Really? Stephen Semple: No, no, no, no, no. Dave Young: No, you're talking about Sylvester Stallone. Stephen Semple: I'm talking about Sylvester Stallone. Dave Young: Yo, Adrian, and all of that. Stephen Semple: All that stuff. All that stuff, yeah. That movie is almost 50 years old. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Came out in 1976. There's been five Rockys. There was, then, Rocky Balboa, there's been three Creeds, there's another Creed coming out. Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: There's plans for a prequel to be done on one of the streaming ones. There's a spinoff that's being talked about to be done on Drago. Remember the Russian, the Russian fighter? Dave Young: Oh, sure, yeah. Stephen Semple: When you go to Philadelphia, there's the Rocky statue in Philadelphia of him holding his hands up near the stairs that he ran up. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And today, there is a lineup. There's a lineup of people to take their picture with that statue. And it's 50 years ago. 50 years ago. Amazing. Dave Young: Well, Sylvester Stallone, he's got to fund his retirement somehow. Stephen Semple: The story was first shared with me by Tony Robbins, and it blew me away. And I did a little bit of additional look into it like, is this an urban legend? And it turns out much of this is true, although some of the details, I don't know the exact numbers, but it is actually really speaks to Sylvester Stallone's determination and understanding and ability to get things done that I believe every entrepreneur needs to embrace and understand. Dave Young: Awesome. Stephen Semple: And that's why I wanted to talk about Rocky. One of the other things I want to talk about when it comes to Rocky, it won best picture, best director, best film editing. It's considered, by many, one of the greatest sports films of all time. Stallone was nominated for best actor, and also was nominated for best supporting actor in Creed. And is wild today that when you're at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, you still see people who run up the stairs and do the whole thing. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And it's that, the statue is there, and there's a lineup. There's a lineup to take your picture with the Rocky statue. And yes, I have a picture of myself with the Rocky statue. I had to do it. Dave Young: How long was the line? Stephen Semple: Actually, I was there during the week on a weekday, so it was not too bad. It was probably about 15 minutes. But here's the story behind Rocky that I find remarkable. So Sylvester Stallone found himself, like many in Hollywood, wanting to be an actor,

More than 50 years after Henry Halem designed a series of cast glass sculptures inspired by the Kent State shootings, he decided to bring the imagery back to life. At a time when the Vietnam War empowered social activism and fueled political debates, the May 4, 1970, Kent State shootings seemed to take center stage, influencing several genres of music and art. Among these works was Halem's glass sculptures. “The imagery was based on the shootings at Kent State and the blindness that the political system had in relationship to what young people were about in protesting the war. They were blind to the generation that was protesting. And, so, I made these blinded images that had their eyes covered,” Halem said. Today, Halem is at it again, creating another series of blinded sculptures, but this time for a different reason. He has created seven blinded sculptures in the series so far, three of which are on view at Habatat Galleries Detroit. “I revived the imagery,” Halem said, “the blind imagery, to reflect the narrative of our blindness to the destruction of the earth, and who we are, what we are.” As a teenager growing up in the Bronx, Halem learned to throw pots at the Greenwich House Pottery in New York's Greenwich Village. Now, at 86 years old, he's still making art. Holding a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from George Washington University, Halem did post graduate work at the University of Wisconsin as an assistant to Harvey Littleton in 1968. In 1969, Halem founded the glass program at Kent State University (KSU) and taught there for 29 years, subsequently teaching at Pilchuck Glass School and Penland School of Craft. He was one of the founders of the Glass Art Society and served as its first president.  Halem's body of work ranges from his early blown vessels to Vitrolite glass collages, glass castings to enameled and painted glass wall panels. His narrative boxes have been described as “… ordinary glass boxes filled with enigmatic objects and reverse glass drawings and paintings.” He is known for powerful responses to political events – the 1970 Kent State shootings, 9/11, and a memorial for American soldiers who died in Iraq.  Exhibiting extensively throughout the U.S., Europe and Japan, Halem's work is in the permanent collections of The Corning Museum of Glass, Cleveland Museum of Art, Smithsonian Institution, Toledo Museum, Detroit Institute of Art, High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Hokkaido & Niijima Museums in Japan, and the Decorative Arts Museum, Prague. He has been honored by the Glass Art Society and the American Crafts Council; he received the Governor's Award from the State of Ohio as well as the President's Medal for Outstanding Achievement from KSU. He penned Glass Notes: A Reference for the Glass Artist and is still an authority on all things glass. Throughout the years, Halem has amassed a diverse set of techniques that are put into action with a little bit of know-how. No matter what he does regarding art, it gets “distilled” through what he has learned from one of his favorite books, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. “The moral of that book was, in order to fix something, you have to know how it works,” Halem said. “So, my search is into finding out how things work. That, and my belief that the artist's job is to question authority in itself, is what drives me.”  

Judith Schaechter:  Stain glass artist that has redefined the scope of contemporary art in both materials and subject matter. She has created a startling body of work, using hi-tech and low tech, if not centuries-old techniques. She has chosen for her subject matter an equally archaic focus that seems to bring the suffering and story telling of ancient religious iconography into the 21st century. Her work can be seen all over the world in major museums and galleries including:  Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Schaechter's Bigtop Flophouse Bedspins appeared in the 2002 Whitney Biennial. She has artwork in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Hermitage Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art,

In s3e60 of Platemark, podcast host Ann Shafer speaks with Ron Rumford, director of Dolan/Maxwell, a private gallery in Philadelphia. Dolan/Maxwell deals in 20th century art, with a particular specialty in the prints of Stanley William Hayter and the associated artists of Atelier 17, as well as Black artists of the same era, such as Bob Blackburn, Norma Morgan, Elizabeth Catlett, Ed Clark and more. While they could have spent the entire time talking about Hayter (they'll get to that in the History of Prints series), Ron wanted to highlight an exhibition focused on Dox Thrash, which is on view at the African American Museum of Philadelphia through August 4, 2024.   They talk about Thrash and his invention of the carborundum mezzotint, Bob Blackburn's Printmaking Workshop and its relationship to Atelier 17 and Hayter, the monumental importance of the WPA printmaking division, and Ballinglen, an artist residency and gallery founded by Peter Maxwell and Margo Dolan in Ballycastle, a tiny farming town in County Mayo, Ireland.   Dox Thrash (American, 1893–1965).

Curator Ekow Eshun reframes the Black figure in historic and contemporary art, surveying its presences, absences, and representations in Western/European art history, the African diaspora, and beyond, via The Time is Always Now (2024). In 1956, the American author James Baldwin wrote: ‘There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment, the time is always now.' Heeding Baldwin's urgent call, Ekow Eshun's new exhibition brings together 22 leading contemporary African diasporic artists from the UK and the US, whose practices emphasise the Black figure through mediums such as painting, drawing, and sculpture. These figurative artists and artworks address difficult histories like slavery, colonialism, and racism and, at the same time, speak to contemporary experiences of Blackness from their own personal perspectives. Ekow explains how artists like Kerry James Marshall, Amy Sherald, and Thomas J. Price acknowledge the paradox of race, and the increased cultural visibility and representation of lived experiences. Beyond celebration, though, The Time Is Always Now follow the consequences of these artists' practices, and what is at stake in depicting the Black figure today. We discuss the plurality of perspectives on view, and how fragmented, collage-like works by Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Lorna Simpson, and Titus Kaphar reconsider W.E.B. Du Bois' understanding of ‘double consciousness' (1897) as a burden, to a 21st century vantage point. Ekow shares the real people depicted in Michael Armitage's surrealistic, religious scenes, whilst connecting works with shared motifs from Godfried Donkor's boxers, to Denzil Forrester and Chris Ofili's dancing forms. We talk about how how history is not just in the past, and how we might think more ‘historically from the present'. Plus, we consider the real life relationships in works by Njideka Akunyili Crosby and Jordan Casteel, - and those shared between artists like Henry Taylor and Noah Davis - shifting the gaze from one of looking at, to looking with, Black figures. Starting at the National Portrait Gallery in London, The Time is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure travels to The Box in Plymouth from 28 June to 29 September 2024. It will then tour to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and North Carolina Museum of Art in the US into 2025. And as promised, some news - this episode announces my appointment as Contemporary Art Curator at The Box in Plymouth. Join me there in conversation with Ekow on Saturday 29 June, and with Hettie Judah, curator and writer of Acts of Creation with exhibiting artists Barbara Walker, Claudette Johnson, and Wangechi Mutu, on Saturday 20 July. You can also join a Bitesize Tour on selected Wednesdays during the exhibition. And you can hear this episode, and more from the artists, on the Bloomberg Connects app by searching ‘The Box Plymouth'. EMPIRE LINES will continue on a fortnightly basis.

At long last, artist Leela Corman joins the show as we celebrate her breathtaking new graphic novel, VICTORY PARADE (Schocken Books)! We talk about how the book brings together the women welders of WWII-era Brooklyn Navy Yards, professional wrestling, and her lifelong obsession with the Shoah, how discovering her watercolor style was like the portal between life and death opening, the art school experience that derailed her, and how the artistic ground start shifting beneath her as she got serious about her comics. We get into her life-defining visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the sacred responsibility of teaching, the influence of New Objectivity (& a bazillion other styles and modes of art & storytelling) on her work, why she brought characters from her earlier GN Unterzakhn into Victory Parade, her twin polestars of Primo Levi & Lisa Carver, and her music-comics collaboration with Thalia Zedek. Plus we discuss the Gen X practice of warts-and-all autobio comics, transgenerational trauma and the next book in her 'Birnbaumiad' triptych, the BS of artist's statements, the revelation of Neko Case's music, and a lot more.
