Harlem-based artist Kim Dacres makes her sculptures with metal and rubber from recycled tires, often sourcing from bike shops around her neighborhood. A new exhibit at Charles Moffett presents her latest works, inspired by her experiences living in the United States over the last 18 months, as well as her favorite classic love songs, including Stevie Wonder's "As."

It's free and has been published every single day since January 1, 2017. We're also very grateful for your five-star ratings—it shows that people are listening and looking forward to new episodes.

This episode is a reminder I needed for myself. After listening to a conversation featuring Ivanka Trump on The Diary of a CEO, something really stayed with me—the idea that if you don't know who you are, the world will tell you… and over time, you might start to believe it. And it made me pause. Because even with space, time, and all the tools I know support me—like journaling, slowing down, and getting quiet—I've noticed how easy it is to avoid truly sitting with myself. To stay busy. To stay distracted. To stay just a little disconnected. In this episode, I reflect on how, without realizing it, we can start to become shaped by everything outside of us—other people's opinions, expectations, and ideas of who we should be. Like a sculpture formed by many hands. But at some point, we have to pause and ask… Do I even recognize this version of me? This is a gentle, honest invitation to come back to yourself. To reconnect, to listen, and to remember that you are the one who gets to create who you are. Because the truth is— the sculpture is yours to create.

Artspeak Radio, Wednesday, April 29, 9am -10am CST, 90.1fm KKFI Kansas City Community Radio, streaming live audio www.kkfi.org Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes Kansas City Art Institute students with Professor Kat Dison Nechlebová writer writer Blair Schulman. BLAIR SCHULMAN- On May 1, Midwest Agenda celebrates its fifth anniversary, marking five consecutive years of daily coverage dedicated to documenting contemporary art across the American Midwest. Founded in 2021 by critic, writer, and speaker Blair Schulman, Midwest Agenda is anindependent, free, and publicly accessible platform documenting regional cultural activity. Through artist features, exhibition announcements, critical commentary, and reporting, it amplifies artists and institutions often overlooked by national art media. Over five years, the project has documented thousands of exhibitions and events across twelve states, creating one of the most consistent public archives of Midwestern art. Midwest Agenda's coverage has tracked key developments impacting artists and communities, including shifts in public arts funding, debates around public art and civic space, the role of artificial intelligence in creative practice, political impact on the arts and the increasing influence of artist-led initiatives. Its social media platforms extend this work through direct, public-facing critiques of how current events shape artistic production and cultural conditions across the Midwest. The anniversary underscores several conclusions drawn from the archive: • Independent, decentralized media platforms are essential to documenting contemporary art ecosystems where visibility remains a barrier • Art in the Midwest is deeply connected to civic, political, and community life As Midwest Agenda enters its sixth year, it continues its commitment to daily publication and long-term documentation, reinforcing its role as both a news source and a living archive of the region's cultural landscape. Support Midwest Agenda with a tax-deductible donation through its fiscal sponsor, Blair Schulman Insta: midwestagenda TikTok: midwestagenda KCAI Sculpture Students- Inspiration for sculpture is everywhere. It can be informed from the rock on your hike, the smile of a stranger, or a song on your playlist. In KCAI's Sculpture School, you'll explore the conceptual, spatial, material, and processes that can bring your vision to life. In Sculpture, learn to transfer abstract ideas into materials and form. Weld, mold, cast, fabricate, or computer code your imagination into artwork. At the Sculpture School, students explore object-making, digital pieces, and installations. Discover sound and video, performance, kinetics, and multimedia art. Dive into collaborative, culturally diverse ventures and create community art projects. Work on both small and large-scale pieces in our outdoor foundry or the new digital lab. Make work that is relevant to contemporary issues and global art practice.

There's an animate quality to the biomorphic sculptures of the self-taught, Utah-born artist Alma Allen. His works, carved from wood, marble, and bronze—and informed by his deep appreciation for the natural world—appear as if they're living, breathing things, at once prehistoric and futuristic. Far from fixed objects, they eschew any overt symbolism or predetermined narratives. For this “site-specific” episode of Time Sensitive, our milestone 150th, we traveled to Mexico City to sit down with Allen inside his family's home there to discuss his highest-visibility exhibition yet: “Call Me the Breeze,” a solo presentation at the U.S. Pavilion for the 61st edition of the Venice Biennale, opening May 9 and on view through Nov. 22. In addition to his plans for Venice and how he's been navigating the noise and public debate around his selection for this year's U.S. Pavilion, he also delves into the hard-to-pin-down nature of his material-forward sculptures and his peripatetic path to art-world ascendancy.  Special thanks to our Season 13 presenting partner, Van Cleef & Arpels.

Nous sommes en avril 1917, à New York au Grand Central Palace, sur Lexington Avenue. C'est là, à partir du 9, que se tient la première exposition de la « Society of Independent Artists ». Marcel Duchamp, le plasticien français pas encore naturalisé américain, en est membre directeur. Pour son premier salon, la Société américaine autorise librement tout membre à exposer l'objet de son choix moyennant un droit s'élevant à six dollars. Le principe défendu est qu'aucun artiste ne peut être refusé pour « raisons esthétiques ». Duchamp décide d'envoyer, sous le pseudonyme de Richard Mutt, un urinoir en porcelaine destine à être présenté comme une sculpture. Mais les choses vont prendre une tournure inattendue. En effet, l'objet n'est pas exposé au prétexte que « sa place n'est pas dans une exposition d'art et que ce n'est pas une œuvre d'art, selon quelque définition que ce soit ». La décision est prise par William Glackens, le président de la Société des Artistes Indépendants, au terme d'un vote à la majorité qui a réuni les membres du comité directeur, la veille du vernissage, contrairement donc au principe suivant lequel il n'y a pas de jury. Les motifs du refus vont du « immoral et vulgaire » au « pièce commerciale ressortissant de l'art du plombier ». Au moment où Duchamp apprend que son objet est refusé, il démissionne du comité directeur de la société, sans dévoiler toutefois son lien avec Richard Mutt. L'exposition se déroulera normalement, avec succès, et personne, jusqu'à la clôture, ne verra l'urinoir resté caché derrière une cloison du Grand Central Palace. Mais la polémique va s'enclencher à la suite de la publication d'un article anonyme paru dans « The Blind Man », une revue satirique fondée par Duchamp et quelques autres. On peut y lire « Les seules œuvres d'art que l'Amérique ait données sont ses tuyauteries et ses ponts ». L'argument consiste à démontrer que l'important n'est pas que Mutt ait fabriqué cette sculpture avec ses mains ou non, mais qu'il ait choisi un objet de la vie quotidienne en lui retirant sa valeur d'usage avec un nouveau titre et un nouveau point de vue ; conséquemment, la création consiste en une nouvelle pensée de l'objet. » L'urinoir de Duchamp passera à la postérité sous le titre de « Fountain ». A l'époque, le terme « installation » n'est pas encore employé pour parler de ce type d'œuvre qui « installe » un rapport particulier avec l'espace, le temps et les spectateurs.

Jackson Williams is building large-scale steel sculptures with handmade bending tools, a MIG welder, and a small corner of a shared shop.If you're a welder thinking about getting into metal art, starting small, or building something original without buying a shop full of equipment, this episode will show you what actually matters.• Learn how Jackson builds full-size animal sculptures from half-inch round bar using mostly hand bending and simple jigs • See how he scales reference images on the floor to lay out a framework before skinning a sculpture with rod • Understand why shared shop space can be a smarter move than trying to outfit your own shop from scratch • Hear how posting his work online and saying yes to Fabtech helped create momentum and new opportunities • Take away Jackson's best advice for beginners: start small, play around, and fix anything that is not rightJackson Williams is a steel sculptor based in Asheville, building wildlife and figure sculptures from round bar with a style that emphasizes motion, anatomy, and flow. He developed his craft working alongside his father, sculptor Chris Williams, before carving out his own direction in steel rod sculpture. What makes his work stand out to WELD listeners is how much he's able to create with basic tools, strong fundamentals, and a clear artistic eye.Connect with Jackson Williams:Instagram: @williamssculpture https://www.instagram.com/williamssculpture/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/williamssculpture/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@williamssculpture Website: https://www.williamssculpture.com/ Connect with Beau Wigington:Instagram: @beaudiditweldingDownload the WELD App:iOS: WELD App on the App Store https://foxly.link/m6jqqa Android: WELD App on Google Play https://foxly.link/cYEXjL If this show has helped your career, leaving a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts takes 30 seconds and helps other welders find it.

The boss of South East Water has been back at parliament to be questioned by MPs following recent outages in Tunbridge Wells. Dave Hinton has been accused of giving incomplete and inaccurate evidence at a previous hearing. It comes as the company say they will look at increasing the amount of compensation on offer for some of the businesses impacted. We've got reaction from Tunbridge Wells MP Mike Martin. Also in today's podcast, council bosses in Kent have confirmed they have sold off a sculpture by a world famous artist, to raise income. 'Two Stones' by Antony Gormley - who's the man behind the Angel of the North - had been on display outside the Kent History and Library Centre in Maidstone for more than a decade. Hear from Maidstone Council leader Stuart Jeffery who isn't happy the artwork has gone. A man who subjected his Folkestone partner to three months of angry, aggressive and intimidating behaviour has avoided going to prison. A court heard how the 28 year-old bombarded his victim with calls and messages, tracked her movements and cut her off from her loved ones. Former MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace has revealed he plans on selling his Kent home, because he can't live the life he used to. The 61-year-old, who lives in Biddenden, was sacked by the BBC last July following an investigation into misconduct allegations. And in sport, Gillingham will be looking to go four games unbeaten in league two tonight as they travel to take on Cheltenham Town. It follows Saturday's nil-nil draw against promotion-chasing Salford City. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Jimmy reminds decision-makers that the more staff and students who have their “fingerprints on the sculpture” to determine the vision, design, and implementation for the culturized classroom and school, the more likely we are to get the positive results we desire. A positive school culture is the collective responsibility of everyone within the school community.

more:fluentfiction.com/no/episode/2026-04-01-07-38-19-no Story Transcript:No: I Vigeland Park, like ved inngangen, spredte vårens blomster duften av nye muligheter i luften.En: In Vigeland Park, right by the entrance, the flowers of spring spread the scent of new possibilities in the air.No: Trærne begynte å blomstre, og besøkende gikk langs de svingete stiene.En: The trees began to blossom, and visitors strolled along the winding paths.No: Sindre, en stille og tankefull kunstner, ruslet forsiktig mellom statuene.En: Sindre, a quiet and thoughtful artist, walked carefully among the statues.No: Han var i Oslo for å finne inspirasjon.En: He was in Oslo to find inspiration.No: Tankene hans vandret ofte inn i verdenen av figurer og former, som om hver skulptur i parken fortalte ham en hemmelighet bare han kunne høre.En: His thoughts often wandered into the world of figures and shapes, as if each sculpture in the park was telling him a secret only he could hear.No: Denne dagen var spesielt viktig.En: This day was particularly important.No: Torvald, en felles venn, hadde invitert ham til en kunstutstilling i parken.En: Torvald, a mutual friend, had invited him to an art exhibition in the park.No: Torvald, alltid vennlig og utadvendt, ønsket at alle skulle føle seg velkomne.En: Torvald, always friendly and outgoing, wanted everyone to feel welcomed.No: Han visste at Sindre trengte litt dytt for å komme ut av sin kreative boble.En: He knew that Sindre needed a little nudge to come out of his creative bubble.No: Ingrid, en energisk kunststudent, svevde mellom utstillingens stasjoner.En: Ingrid, an energetic art student, floated between the stations of the exhibition.No: Hennes øyne var alltid på utkikk etter å fange detaljene andre kanskje ikke så.En: Her eyes were always on the lookout to capture details others might not see.No: Hun ønsket også å finne dypt betydningsfulle forbindelser, men noen ganger holdt frykten for å miste noe henne tilbake.En: She also wished to find deeply meaningful connections, but sometimes the fear of losing something held her back.No: I en lysning i parken, møtte Sindre og Ingrid ved en skulptur laget av bronse som sto stolt i midten.En: In a clearing in the park, Sindre and Ingrid met by a sculpture made of bronze that stood proudly in the center.No: "Den ser så levende ut, ikke sant?En: "It looks so alive, doesn't it?"No: " sa Ingrid.En: said Ingrid.No: Hun snudde seg mot Sindre, og øynene hennes lyste med en varm interesse.En: She turned to Sindre, her eyes shining with a warm interest.No: Overrasket over å bli tiltalt, ristet Sindre først litt på hodet.En: Surprised to be addressed, Sindre first shook his head slightly.No: Men så nikket han.En: But then he nodded.No: "Ja, som om den puster," svarte han stille.En: "Yes, as if it breathes," he replied quietly.No: Torvald kom bort, smilte bredt og sa: "Sindre, dette er Ingrid.En: Torvald came over, smiling broadly, and said, "Sindre, this is Ingrid.No: Hun er alltid nysgjerrig på nye ting, akkurat som deg.En: She is always curious about new things, just like you."No: " Sindre smilte svakt, fortsatt litt sjenert.En: Sindre smiled faintly, still a bit shy.No: De begynte å snakke om skulpturen.En: They began to talk about the sculpture.No: Ingrid pekte på måten lyset traff metalloverflaten, og Sindre delte hvordan vibrasjonene i parken forvandlet kunsten i hans sinn.En: Ingrid pointed out the way the light hit the metal surface, and Sindre shared how the vibrations in the park transformed the art in his mind.No: Plutselig kom et regnskyll fra ingensteds.En: Suddenly, a downpour came out of nowhere.No: "Kom, vi må løpe mot paviljongen!En: "Come, we must run to the pavilion!"No: " lo Ingrid.En: laughed Ingrid.No: Under taket på paviljongen, mens regnet danset over parken, føltes samtalen lett og naturlig.En: Under the roof of the pavilion, while the rain danced across the park, the conversation felt easy and natural.No: Sindre begynte å dele sine indre tanker, og Ingrid lyttet, fascinert av hans verden.En: Sindre began to share his inner thoughts, and Ingrid listened, fascinated by his world.No: De lo, drømte og delte historier om deres liv og ambisjoner.En: They laughed, dreamed, and shared stories about their lives and ambitions.No: Da regnet stilnet, nølte de begge, klare til å gå hver til sitt.En: When the rain abated, they both hesitated, ready to go their separate ways.No: "Kanskje vi kan møtes igjen," foreslo Ingrid, usikker men håpefull.En: "Maybe we can meet again," suggested Ingrid, uncertain but hopeful.No: Sindre nikket, mer åpen enn før.En: Sindre nodded, more open than before.No: "Ja, det vil jeg gjerne.En: "Yes, I'd like that."No: "De utvekslet kontaktinformasjon.En: They exchanged

Recently, Nadine Saylor has been creating a series of gas and oil cans featuring imagery of her local surroundings. These more "masculine" objects remind her of the things her grandfather had in his shed. In thinking about gender and how it relates to the objects with which we surround ourselves, she investigates what role gender plays in our world writ large. Assistant Professor of Glass and Sculpture at University of Nebraska, Kearney, Saylor is originally from Hershey, Pennsylvania. She received her BFA in Photography from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and her MFA in Glass from Alfred University in upstate New York. Since then, she has taught at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, Harrisburg Area Community College in Pennsylvania, and at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. In addition to teaching at the collegiate level, she has taught many workshops internationally including The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass and Penland School of Craft in North Carolina. She has also given demonstrations nationally and lectured internationally. Saylor has exhibited in many exhibitions across the country including the Cafesjian Art Trust, in Shoreview, MN, Toyama's International Glass Exhibition 2024 in Japan and has shown at SOFA Chicago. She recently completed a commission of two works Carrie Oilcan and Copper Kettle Nebraska for the Federal Reserve Board Gallery to be on display in Washington, DC, and to compliment her works commemorating American industry that were purchased in 2024. Derivative of her childhood, Saylor's works are instilled with love of Americana and history along with an interest in the stories behind the objects, the places, and the lives they have touched.  For example, Saylor's series of pincushions began with the familiar Tomato and Strawberry forms. In researching the history of these objects, the artist learned the pincushion was placed on the mantle to ward off evil spirits. When tomatoes were out of season, women made them out of fabric and used them as voodoo dolls. "I enjoy these kinds of historical narratives and use them as a vantage point in my work," she says. Imagery tells a story on the surface of many Saylor works. For example, Foggy Morning in the Black Swamp is a replica of an antique coffee pot she found in an antique store. The imagery on the surface is inspired by the artist's bike rides on the old railroad trail bike path through the Black Swamp.  She states: "My surroundings continue to affect the imagery on my glass as I lived on a farm in Southern Illinois with an array of chickens, goats and horses. This nostalgic life took me back to traveling to my grandmother's house in the countryside of rural Pennsylvania. Not only does my current rural life in Nebraska play a part in my glasswork, but I am also interested in the memories sparked by certain objects and what roles they play in our lives."

When the Temple Square renovation is complete, four new sculptures by artist Ben Hammond will welcome visitors to the grounds. Hammond began his career apprenticing under a sculptor known for crafting busts for the NFL Hall of Fame.

On this week's episode, Ben shares how his life and career have been shaped—piece by piece—by the Master Sculptor.   2:03- Anatomy 7:43- The Creator 12:32- NFL Hall of Fame Busts 17:37- Uninterrupted Time With a Prophet 24:27- Temple Square Sculptures 34:29- Five Wise Virgins 38:55- Martha Hughes Cannon 45:36- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?   "I don't want to live my life in fear. I don't want to be obsessed with politics and everything that's bad in the world. I want to focus on things of an eternal nature. There's some sadness that happens when you're separated in this life but to know that I've been redeemed by Jesus Christ—nothing can happen in this life that can take that away from me unless I choose for it to happen."
