Episode: 1621 Motherland: The Stalingrad Memorial.  Today, we visit a really big statue

Episode No. 773 is a summer clips episode featuring artist Lotus L. Kang. The Frye Art Museum, Seattle is showing "Lotus L. Kang: I hear the hollow boom of time" through September 27. The installation features large sheets of unfixed industrial film that have been exposed to light sources as part of a process Kang calls 'tanning,' a process that aligns film's surface to skin. Sculptures that include tatami mats as their base take up some of the space between the film sheets, which are suspended from above. The show also includes a kinetic sculpture that evokes the body. "I hear the hollow boom of time" was organized by Georgia Erger. Kang's work often blends sculpture, photography and installation in address of bodies, memories, and histories that change over time. Kang has been featured in exhibitions at the MCA Chicago, the Venice Biennale, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, and the 2021 triennial at New York's New Museum. This conversation was recorded in 2023 on the occasion of Kang's presentation of a project in the MCA Chicago's atrium. For images, see Episode No. 604. Instagram: Lotus L. Kang, Tyler Green.

Imagine pouring your heart into a massive sculpture, only to watch it crash to the floor. What if that disaster was exactly what your practice needed? In this episode of The Create! Podcast, host Ekaterina Popova talks with multimedia visual artist, curator, and educator Rebecca Casement. Based in Michigan, Rebecca creates affective, abstract sculptures and installations using ceramics, mixed media, sound, and textiles. This conversation explores her practice of pushing materials to their breaking point and why building instability into artwork mirrors life's unpredictability. Episode Highlights: The Beauty of Instability — why Rebecca intentionally builds heavy, precarious clay sculpture with a high likelihood of breaking in the kiln A Shift in Perspective — the story of a shattered personal sculpture that changed her entire artistic mindset Art as a Lifestyle — how to ditch the burned-out artist trope, protect your physical energy, and bring joy back into a daily studio practice Carried Together — inside her new collaborative project featuring 14 women artists exploring community and care About Rebecca Casement: Rebecca Casement is a multimedia visual artist, curator, and educator who creates affective abstract sculptures and installations. Raised in rural Michigan, she developed a habit of creative experimentation with materials that carries into her studio practice today. Focused on material language and history, her work is both emotive and honest. Rebecca holds an MFA in Studio Art and a Certification in College Teaching from Michigan State University.

What happens when traditional shoemaking meets leaves, bark, vines and flowers?Lenny Wilson is an artist and horticulturist known for creating intricate, life-size botanical shoes from natural materials. After studying shoemaking at a leather-trades college in London and building a career in public horticulture, he found a way to bring his two worlds together through art.In this episode, Lenny shares how an early experiment with plants and traditional shoemaking techniques grew into his distinctive botanical sculptures. He explains how he chooses and gathers materials, from patterned leaves and seed heads to branches and bark, and how the character of each plant shapes the final design. Lexy and Lenny also talk about the temporary nature of his work, why something does not need to last forever to have value and what fashion can learn from paying closer attention to the natural world.Listen to hear how Lenny is turning horticulture into wearable-looking art and challenging the way we think about shoes, materials and beauty.Subscribe to The Lexy Show wherever you listen to podcasts.If you enjoyed this conversation, be sure to subscribe to The Lexy Show, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who's ready to make more mindful choices for themselves and the planet.

When Bill Fontana sees a still object, he doesn't just notice what it looks like, he wonders what it sounds like. He asks himself, “what does it hear?” Bill is a sound sculptor. He places microphones and vibration sensors on objects, then speakers project sounds from the objects - sounds that can't really be heard with the human ear alone. The results are beautiful, other worldly, meditative sounds and he's been doing this for 50 years, all around the world. Now, Bill is Grace Cathedral's 2026 Artist in Residence. His latest installation is called “Resonance.” KALW's Jenee Darden spoke with him on “The Sights + Sounds Show.”

The artist Betye Saar died last week at the age of 99, just days before her 100th birthday. Saar was famously a leading voice of the Black Arts Movement of the ‘60s and ‘70s, and was known for repurposing found objects that depict harmful Black stereotypes, including ceramic "mammies" she repurposed into sculptures that transform and subvert their original racism. Jane Carpenter-Rock, acting director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, who wrote her dissertation on Saar's work, discusses the legacy of Betye Saar.  Photo by Anthony Barboza/Getty Images: Portrait of American artist Betye Saar, 1980s.

Roger Bowdler and Brent Elliott's The British Cemetery: Architecture, Landscape, Sculpture, published by Historic England (2026), traces the history of the cemetery from the 17th century to the present day. The cemetery emerged as a new landscape form in the 19th century in Britain but had deep roots in earlier churchyard practices and in fashionable garden landscape design. Cemeteries very quickly became a locus for the monumental expression of loss, family identity and social standing. The book offers a clear chronological narrative, with alternate chapters attending to landscape and monuments. The authors present unfamiliar primary data and introduce some welcome new themes including reference to the monumental mason industry and cemetery infrastructure. The authors draw examples from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and in doing so underline the very particular nature of Scottish funerary heritage. The book's principal strength is its collection of illustrations that include historic and contemporary photographs, landscape design maps and postcards. The text brings the narrative completely up to date, with reference to the natural burial movement and landscapes designed to meet Muslim burial need. This text is now very probably the best introduction to the material culture of the British cemetery, written by experts with over 70 years' experience in cemetery research and conservation. This interview, conducted by Julie Rugg of the University of York's Cemetery Research Group, is a meeting of enthusiasts for a landscape form that is moving and thought-provoking in equal measure.

7.6.26 - Ryan Krull - St. Louis Magazine - Serra Sculpture; Banjo pleads guilty; What's going on in Kirkwood by

In this week's episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, I'm sitting down with sculptor Stephen Feilbach, whose larger-than-life creations have become destinations for families, travelers, and communities. If you've ever stopped to take a photo with a giant sculpture, you've probably experienced exactly what he's hoping to create. I went into this conversation thinking sculpture was just another art medium. I quickly learned there's so much more behind it. We talk about the process of turning an idea into a sculpture that's built to last, why the materials matter, and what it really costs to create artwork that can live outdoors for decades. We also talk about pricing custom work, finding the right clients, and why artists need to keep learning long after they've mastered their craft. There's a lot that muralists and other creatives can relate to, even if you've never picked up a sculpting tool. If you're building an art business or simply love hearing how other artists think, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation. It gave me a whole new appreciation for public sculpture, and I have a feeling it'll do the same for you.

At low tide, it stands on a narrow strip of sand; at high tide, it sinks into the sea. In the middle of the Pacific, a new sculpture is reminiscent of an island that rising sea levels have already wiped out. It makes the climate crisis vividly visible. - Bei Ebbe steht sie auf einem schmalen Sandstreifen, bei Flut versinkt sie im Meer. Mitten im Pazifik erinnert eine neue Skulptur an eine Insel, die der steigende Meeresspiegel bereits ausgelöscht hat – und macht die Klimakrise auf eindringliche Weise sichtbar.

Plongez au cœur de la Florence de la Renaissance avec Franck Ferrand pour découvrir l'histoire fascinante derrière l'un des chefs-d'œuvre les plus célèbres au monde : le David de Michel-Ange.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.A sprawling surrealist exhibit Twin Cities painter David Amdur recommends seeing "The Internal Affairs of Mr. Invincible," an exhibition of more than 100 mixed-media drawings by Lou Ferreri at Hopkins Center for the Arts, on view through August 1. Amdur says: “To get some sense of it, imagine a collaboration between Salvador Dalí and R. Crumb. They are entire editorial pages from the New York Times that have been painted on with acrylic pens, so they're very colorful, and most of the images are quite complex and very surreal, very strange. Also in the exhibition are monumental charcoal drawings that are more than four feet across. It's not a show to rush through. There's really a lot to take in. I would give myself time to linger with the drawings. You'll find unexpected and surprising connections emerge.” Sculpture walking tours Tony Austinson of Fridley got interested in public sculpture during the pandemic, when viewing art indoors wasn't an option. Visiting the sculpture walks created by various Minnesota cities has turned into a hobby, and he likes to go with his literal art hound, Tillie, at his side. Over time, he's come to recognize and appreciate the work of individual artists, such as Tim Nelson of Bemidji, who makes sculptures from scrap metal. Austinson recommends checking out the sculpture walks in a city near you. Here are links to self-guided walking tours in Mankato, Bemidji, Park Rapids, Fergus Falls, Hutchinson, Red Wing, and Delano, as well as Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Performance art meets political theater Sarra Beckham-Chasnoff is a theater superfan in the Twin Cities. One standout theatrical performance from last fall—which she is excited to see return this weekend—is “In the Backroom,” created and performed by Michael Torsch. The show is 70 minutes without intermission and runs July 2-5 at 7 p.m. at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis. Beckham-Chasnoff says this play-within-a-play surprised her at every turn, and its themes feel timely for the Fourth of July. “Michael Torsch is just a local treasure, so he does a type of performance art that is very smart and funny, and simultaneously very accessible. He introduces some controversial 21st-century American figures. I think it just kind of has a more complicated view of what America is, and so with the 250th anniversary, I just think it will be a poignant piece to see. “The [theater] is just a few blocks away from where the fireworks will be in Minneapolis, and so for folks going to the July Fourth show, they'll be able to walk over and watch the fireworks afterwards.”

This week we finally have Mitch back on to discuss his excellent new book, "Esoterika: Formulas Against The False Self". We talk about everything from how he came up with the idea for the book and the many principles within it. Youtuber @therightsideofmad described it in a review as the perfect companion piece to Mitch's "Practical Magick" and I could not agree more. A great chat with a great dude about a great book!

Episode: 1595 In which Alfred Stieglitz and 291 anticipate Modern.  Today, Stieglitz and photography, art and reality.

Some of the most important visual artist working today are sound artists. It seems that sound in general has been growing in importance at the museum recently. Exhibitions come with soundtracks, sculptures make noise, and musical performance of one kind of another is everywhere in and around the art. Ben Davis wanted to dig into this “sonic turn” in art, if that's what it is—and the artist Tarek Atoui is a great person to talk to. Born in Lebanon and based in Paris, Atoui's work often takes the form of environments, with sculptures that double as experimental musical instruments, to be activated by the audience or performers. This form of art is both unique and clearly resonates with a bigger trend of using sound to activate the museum as an event space and a space of gathering. At the current Venice Biennale, Atoui is part of the Qatar Pavilion for a project called “Untitled 2026 (A Gathering Of Remarkable People),” working with a super-group of famous figures from the worlds of art, music, and food to make an environment that evolves for the course of the Biennale. And later this year, Atoui will be the next artist to do the giant Turbine Hall commission for the Tate Modern in London, occupying one of the most highly watched pieces of exhibition space in the international art world. Where does this genre of hybrid art come from? Where is it going? What are its challenges?

[Contemporary Realism] Co-publisher Adolfo Castillo speaks with managing editor Sarah Gianelli about the July 2026 issue of American Art Collector, which has a special focus on sculpture and includes features about Lee Price, Carole Feuerman and Paul Rhymer.

In his 1905 essay on psychotherapy Freud elaborates the distinction between painting (pouring on) and sculpture (chipping away). Classical defense and resistance analysis seeks to emancipate the true self.
