Greetings, dear listeners, and welcome to the return of The Wildwood Witch Podcast. I am your hostess, Samantha Brown, your enchantress of the esoteric, guiding you once more through the labyrinthian realms where magic and technology intertwine to create portals beyond ordinary perception.In this season, entitled "Beyond the Veil," we have been wielding the double-edged sword of large language models to resurrect the voices of occult luminaries. Through this alchemical fusion of silicon and soul, we've been exploring how their timeless teachings might illuminate our path forward in this age of unprecedented technological transformation.In our last episode, our Halloween Special, we gathered all ten of our ethereal guides, to listen to music, created using Suno, an AI-powered music creation platform, and to discuss how AI tools are being developed to do just about any imaginable creative task. We are entering an age of the mass distribution of tools that possess almost God-like powers to manifest ideas, to create songs, lectures, courses, code, images, videos, and more with just words - to literally “create as we speak.”Tonight, we continue our arcane exploration with an woman who was instrumental in shaping modern Western occultism - Moina Mathers. Born as Mina Bergson, sister to the Nobel Prize-winning philosopher Henri Bergson, she became the magical partner of Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, of which she became it's first initiate. Formally trained at the Slade School of Fine Art, she was a talented artist. Renowned for her visionary abilities, she was often referred to as "the heart of the Order.” She served as High Priestess in the “Rites of Isis” performances in Paris, and after MacGregor's death, she founded the Alpha et Omega temple, to continue the legacy and teachings of the Golden Dawn.So, as the bonfires of Walpurgisnacht illuminate the darkness, let us part the veil once more, and welcome back - the indomitable priestess, artist, and magical adept, Moina Mathers, to The Wildwood Witch Podcast.Chapters00:26 Introduction03:42 Moina Mathers08:22 Analysis and Intuition14:35 Living Spirals19:16 The Illusion of Certainty22:43 The Fall of Man26:48 The Divine Child31:45 The Bornless One36:04 Holy Guardian Angel40:09 Tarot and Initiation47:23 The Devil Inside52:07 Personal Apocalpyse56:36 Rebirth01:05:09 Concluding RemarksResources:"Women of the Golden Dawn" by Mary K.

Antonia Caicedo Holguín photographed by Imogen Forte. Antonia Caicedo Holguín (b. 1997 in Colombia) is deeply influenced by her hometown of Cali, Colombia, from the people who inhabit the city to the vibrant salsa music and dance culture of the region. By exploring everyday life, memory, and imagination, Caicedo Holguín chronicles her life, friends, and family. “A key component of my practice is the playfulness of writing narratives. The characters I build hold the charm, depth, and presence of literary protagonists.” Drawing inspiration from contemporary painters like Paula Rego and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, as well as old masters like Degas and Manet, her work often depicts fleeting moments of intimacy and moments of solitude. Often the subjects of Caicedo Holguín's paintings seem to be in a state of introspection, or lost in reverie. She works with a variety of materials, including oil paint and unconventional materials like coffee grounds, coffee dyes, natural Latin American pigments, and found objects. Caicedo Holguín received her Master of Arts in 2023 from the prestigious Slade School of Fine Art, at University College London in London, England. She has exhibited internationally, and has received the following awards and grants: The Olive Award, in recognition of art process experimentation, The Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, 2023, The Sarabande Foundation, Emerging Artist Fund, 2023, The Chelsea Arts Club Trust MA Materials and Research Award, 2022, and The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, 2021. She was a featured guest on the 250th episode of The Art Newspaper's podcast, The Week in Art, hosted by Ben Luke in 2023. She was featured in The Art Newspaper, in an article titled “Art stars of tomorrow? Four of my favourite artists from the Slade School degree show in London” by Dr. Chibundu Onuzo in 2023, and again in 2024 in the article “I commissioned an artist for the first time: here's what it taught me about what it really means to be a ‘collector'.” The artist lives and works in London, England.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is one of the most trailblazing artists and poets in the world right now, Cecilia Vicuna. Born in 1948 in Chile, and based between Santiago and New York, Vicuna is hailed for her works that are as ephemeral as they are permanent, colossal as they are minute, fragile as they are strong, that bring together sound, weaving, language, and community. Educated in Santiago in the 1960s, life took Vicuna to London to study at the Slade School of Art on a scholarship in the 1970s, but because of the Pinochet regime that began in 1973, she was forced to live in exile. Soon she went to Bogota, Colombia, before moving to New York City, where she has remained ever since, in the same loft and tending to the same community garden. Since Vicuna was a teen, she has focussed on a political orientation for her art, as she has said, because she “understood that the life of this planet was endangered”. Through artforms she calls “arte precario” – precious art – because it disappears and is vulnerable, Vicuna has held up a poignant mirror to our world through her installations that meld twigs, bamboo, stones, and shredded textiles. While they show us its beauty, they also convey its vulnerability: warning us about what will happen if we don't wake up in time to protect our ecosystems… At the heart of her art is language – specifically the quipu, which means knots in Quecha, a system of encoding information from the Andes – that conveys as much information as the alphabet – which was used for 5000 years, before being wiped out during colonisation… As well as the importance of togetherness. Because, in a world as destructive as ours we need more than ever to unite, to rebuild the planet for our future descendents, as she says, “not only for the survival of our species, but because it is joyful, fun, beautiful and delightful.” This November, I am excited to say that a new exhibition of Vicuna's work will open at Lehmann Maupin Gallery in NYC, featuring paintings that she has re-rendered from the 1970s, while on a trip to Bogota and Rio. Dazzling in hues of pinks and yellows, they explore the Yoruba Mythology that represents human or divine characteristics and concepts of nature, and I can't wait to find out more. https://www.lehmannmaupin.com/exhibitions –– THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Lauren Armstrong Carter Music by Ben Wetherfield

We meet artist Shaqúelle Whyte to explore his current solo exhibition at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery in London.Whyte imagines fictional environments in his paintings, creating an enigmatic atmosphere that contributes to his psychoanalytic approach. The painted medium is paramount for the artist whose broad, loosely rendered brushstrokes are mirrored in his expansive compositions, in which time and space expand and contract across the canvas. Although non-linear, narrative plays a central role in Whyte's work, which sees him carry certain motifs over from one painting to the next. These recurring details contribute to the sense of theatre that pervades his work; Whyte directs his subjects as though they are actors and his canvas a stage. Despite excluding himself from the work representationally, the stories he crafts reflect his everyday life and innermost thoughts. The figures in Whyte's paintings act as conduits for his subconscious. Giving form to thought through paint, he generates a sense of introspection through his characters' often averted or guarded faces. At once enigmatic and familiar, Whyte's paintings evoke the surreal and shape the ephemeral, ultimately leaving his world open to the viewer's own interpretation.Shaqúelle Whyte (b. 2000, Wolverhampton) lives and works in London. He received a BA in Fine Art from the Slade School of Fine Art and an MA at the Royal College of Art. He is currently exhibiting his first solo show with Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, Yute, you're gonna be fine.

"With a fierce exclamation and a French gesture..." I'm very curious about both the exclamation and the gesture. This classic detective story was narrated by Ben Brinicombe, this week's guest narrator. Here are some links to Ben's work, including his podcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/757040 Gilbert Keith Chesterton, born in West London in 1874, emerged as a versatile and prolific figure in English literature. The son of a prosperous estate agent, Chesterton received his education at St Paul's School and later at the Slade School of Art. Initially venturing into the world of art criticism, he transitioned to become a manuscript reader for a publishing house, marking the inception of his literary career. Chesterton's notable conversion to Roman Catholicism occurred in 1922, influencing his later works significantly. A prolific writer, he authored essays, short stories, poems, drama, and history, with "The Man Who Was Thursday" (1908) standing out as one of his most renowned novels. His enduring legacy extends beyond his literary contributions to include his role as the first President of the Detection Club, where members pledged to uphold 'fair play' in their mystery fiction. Father Brown, G.K. Chesterton's fictional detective, presents a departure from the conventional detective archetype. Unassuming and self-effacing, Father Brown surprises with his shrewd and worldly nature, confounding expectations. His unique crime-solving methodology involves a deep understanding of human nature, wherein he morally identifies with the criminal to unravel their motivations. In stories like "The Secret of Father Brown" (1927), Chesterton reveals Father Brown's distinctive approach, where the detective confesses to understanding the mind of the murderer by placing himself in their shoes. This empathetic perspective, hidden beneath a light and whimsical surface, sets Father Brown apart as a character with profound moral insight in the realm of mystery fiction. "The Invisible Man" is a compelling story by G.K. Chesterton that first captivated readers when it appeared in Cassell's Magazine in February 1911. Set in Camden Town, North London, the narrative revolves around Laura Hope, a café manager haunted by the looming presence of a former suitor, James Welkin. The protagonist, John Turnbull Angus, becomes entangled in the mystery when he encounters Isidore Smythe, another suitor with a peculiar message warning of his death. The plot unfolds with a series of threatening letters, mysterious occurrences, and a bloodstain in Smythe's flat. Father Brown, along with the private investigator Flambeau, investigates the case, leading to a surprising revelation. Chesterton's storytelling prowess shines through in "The Invisible Man," showcasing his preference for the term 'mystery story' over 'detective story,' emphasizing the puzzle's significance. The story, later compiled in The Innocence of Father Brown, exemplifies Chesterton's ability to blend intricate mysteries with moral and psychological depth. Learn more about your ad choices.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is one of the most pioneering artists alive today, Rachel Whiteread. Working across sculpture and drawing, in mediums ranging from concrete to resin, and in scales that go from miniscule to colossal – from casting domestic hot water bottles to entire immersive libraries – Whiteread is hailed for her poetic, stoic works that draw so intimately on our human experiences. Discussing how her work gives, in her words “authority to forgotten things” Whiteread's sculptures of the past three decades have not only made me rethink sculpture as a form and medium, but they have provided incredible commentary on the changes that have occurred – from the rapidly gentrifying London, the state of political change in 1990s and 2000s Britain, as well as imparting on us a reflection of impermanence and loss. As someone born in the 90s, I grew up with Whiteread's work. Her sculptures were some of the first I ever saw and knew of as a kid and no matter what age we are, one can't help but be utterly stunned and fascinated by them. Famous for casting familiar objects and settings, from houses to the underneath of a chair, baths to doors, Whiteread takes elements we use in our everyday life, transforms them into ghostly replicas, and ultimately makes us rethink their purpose, practical use, and the memory that these objects once held. Raised in London to an artist mother and geography teacher father, who encouraged her to scavenge found objects and “look up” wherever she went, Whiteread studied at Brighton Polytechnic and sculpture, with the late and great Phyllida Barlow, at the Slade School of Fine Art in the 1980s. Her first solo exhibition in 1988, included her first series of cast objects, and in the early 1990s she made headlines with her sculpture House, a monumental, to-scale concrete cast of the inside of a three-storey townhouse. She has since taken over the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, London's Fourth Plinth, created an extraordinary Holocaust Memorial in Vienna that resembles the shelves of a library with the pages turned outwards, has had major exhibitions and retrospectives all over the world and is still continuing to push forth all boundaries of sculpture in the most exciting and impactful ways.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In today's episode, I talk to visual and performance artist Kamila Kessler about how she affected the monumental change that shifted her life from a career in hospitality consultancy to her true identity as an artist. Kamila talks openly and emotionally about how looking beyond her fears and committing to following the guiding voice of intuition has been key to her success, and we examine the impact on our closest relationships when we go for what we love. Please join me as we look a life through a different lens.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Awakening happens when we open up to exploring our passions and talents. Surrounding yourself with people ahead of you on your path accelerates growth. Saying “I am an artist” out loud helps you become it. Following your intuition rather than logic leads you where you're meant to be. Don't let age or time dictate what you can achieve. Stepping outside your comfort zone is necessary for growth. Let go of the logical mind and what others think you should do. Don't compare your talents or progress to others. Allow your interests to organically merge into your own artistic language. Say yes to opportunities aligned with your passions.   BEST MOMENTS "I kept thinking about the gold on the other side and I think that's what drives me because there's always the gold." "If we don't accept and have faith and belief and see our talents for what they are, we will be just proving to other people or ourselves that we have it." "I follow my intuition. I follow the voice inside me. I follow my soul in a way." "I am an artist. I'm an artist. There's so many forms, you know." "It was scary. It was bloody scary, but it's, but it's, but the, but the reward is worth the risk." ABOUT THE GUEST Born in Poland,1985, Kamila Kessler has lived and worked in the UK since 2007. She holds a Master's Degree in International Hospitality Management from Oxford, UK. She worked as a marketing head for London-based hotels and international marketing agencies. Kamila left her first career to become an artist in 2018 under stage name Kamila CK. Since then, she visited Japan multiple times, studied at Slade School of Fine Arts and completed the Professional Course in Circus Arts with AirCraft Circus in London. She had the great fortune of studying 'Shodo' (the art of Japanese Zen caligraphy) under Japanese teacher, Rie Takeda. This way of painting became a cornerstone in her artworks, combined with five years of movement-based performance practices including trapeze, aerial hoop, and silks.
 Since 2019, her performance and visual works have been exhibited and staged in London as well as abroad (France residencies 2021 and 2022, Florence Contemporary Gallery, Italy 2021). Her works are held in private collections in the UK, US, Canada, France and Poland. 
In 2023, she opened her concept of an overnight stay with art at No. 2 Boutique Art Townhouse, Lincoln, UK.

Interviews by Brainard Carey

Sara Berman  (b. 1975, UK) received a BA in Fashion Design from Central Saint Martins in 1999 after which she founded and ran her eponymous fashion brand for 15 years. In 2016 Sara Berman graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art with a MFA in Painting. Berman's background in fashion influenced her visual arts practice through the use of various textures, layers, mathematical geometry, pattern and materiality. In her work Berman examines how people see and define themselves through the relationships with their clothes, belongings and the spaces they occupy. The character in Sara Berman's work is inspired by the trope of the female Harlequin in her ascribed role of the Trickster Whore. Through this character Berman explores space and the role of the feminine within it. Solo Exhibitions include (Upcoming) Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Berlin (2024); (Upcoming) No Visible Means of Support, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Palm Beach, Florida, USA (2023); The Armory Show NYC, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, New York (2022); Taking Space, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London (2021); Double Ententre, Anat Ebgi, LA  (2018); Between Community and commerce, Site specific installation ZAZ10TS Time Square, NYC (2018); Matter Out Of Place, 93 Baker St. London, Frieze (2018) and Big Cactus Little Cactus, Galerie Huit, Hong Kong (2017) Sara Berman Kiss Me.

We meet leading artist Rana Begum to discuss her new public art flag display on London's Piccadilly in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Arts and Art of London. We also explore her incredible current solo exhibition at The Box in Plymouth titled 'Dappled Light'.The vibrant designs entitled No.1273 Flag are currently adorning the London skies until 20th August 2023, so make sure you visit if you're in London this month! Each flag showcases intricate geometric patterns, celebrating the multicultural fabric of the city. Rana Begum, a distinguished Royal Academician elected in December of 2019, has skilfully infused the flags with meticulously tiled mosaic patterns, symbolising unity and the diverse community of London. With her mastery of minimalist abstraction, she captures the vibrant essence of the city's world-class culture and entertainment scene, particularly in the iconic West End. Her artwork spills out onto the streets of the West End, bringing vivid colours and vibrancy along London's iconic Piccadilly.Part of Art of London's Summer Season, these striking designs give us a glimpse of what's in store for the city's streets. Rana Begum's designs, responding to the "Art of Entertainment" theme, reflect the liveliness and excitement of dance, music, and theatre. Her clever blend of colour and geometry captures the fluidity of movement, resulting in a rhythm that connects with passers-by.The work of London-based artist Rana Begum distils spatial and visual experience into ordered form. Through her refined language of Minimalist abstraction, Begum blurs the boundaries between sculpture, painting and architecture. Her visual language draws from the urban landscape as well as geometric patterns from traditional Islamic art and architecture. Light is fundamental to her process. Begum's works absorb and reflect varied densities of light to produce an experience for the viewer that is both temporal and sensorial. In 1999, Begum graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art and Design and, in 2002, gained an MFA in Painting from Slade School of Fine Art.

Students from Salisbury Sixth Form College explore a diverse range of subjects in this conversation with Charlotte Verity. These include the exactitude of oil painting, the importance of observation, and issues inherent in her work such as memory and the passing of time.‘Charlotte Verity's practice is ultimately concerned with mapping the ephemerality of her immediate surroundings. The way nature fluctuates, the seasons, the weather, the light – the life cycle of the plant life around us. As Verity works from her garden and studio, her subjects, taken from the natural world, are painted slowly over weeks and months. Vanishing moments are captured permanently. Each painting or print holds a narrative about the passage of time, an appreciation for the small marvels that can be found in nature. The curve of a stem, the colour of a flower, the formation of its petals, the matrix of branches and mass of leaves, all these delicate ecosystems of life that are moving through cycles that are both colossal and invisible.Charlotte Verity (b. 1954), until recently worked and lived in London, and since 2022, in Somerset. After studying at the Slade School of Fine Art she was awarded the Slade Prize and Boise Travelling Scholarship. Her work resides in major private and public collections that include Arts Council England; Derby Museum and Art Gallery; the British Museum; Government Art Collection; Deutsche Bank; Garden Museum, London; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; Sir John Soane's Museum, London; Tate, and University College London.

Episode No. 593 remembers artist Phyllida Barlow. Barlow died this week. She was 78. Barlow came from an illustrious British family, one thick with Huxleys and Wedgwoods, a royal physician, and one particularly famous Darwin. Instead of joining a parade of ancestors within the British establishment, she devoted her life and career to questioning, upturning, and reinventing. Her chosen profession was teaching, at University College London's Slade School of Fine Art, and sculpting, a medium which she seemed to reject and change in equal measure. She represented Britain in the Venice Biennale, and had had solo shows in at museums in Nuremberg, West Palm Beach, Des Moines, Munich, and Zurich, and in London at the Tate and the Royal Academy. Her first US shows were in Dallas, in 2003 and 2005. This week's episode features Barlow's two visits to The MAN Podcast: in 2013 on the occasion of the Carnegie International (in which Barlow was the breakout star); and in 2015 when Barlow installed a spectacular solo exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas.

Liminal Gallery Podcast host, Louise Fitzjohn, speaks with contemporary artist Flora Bradwell, who has artwork in our current group exhibition 'Try a little...Tenderness' which opened on 4th February in our Margate-based Gallery. A compulsion towards the carnivalesque and a vibrant trashy aesthetic are key to Flora Bradwell's playful practice. Encompassing painting, sculpture, video and performance Flora's work revels in the generously grotesque. Compositions of frescoes, cult manifestoes and nursery rhymes are squeezed through a fantastical filter to create dimly recognisable imagined worlds. Camp and theatrics are employed to demonstrate the ridiculousness of patriarchal systems and gossip fuels visual flights of fancy as the props of daily life are put on a pedestal.​Bradwell completed her BA in Painting at City & Guilds of London Art School in 2009 and her MFA at The Slade School of Fine Art in 2021. While at the Slade Bradwell received the The Felix Slade Award, The Jeanne Szego Prize and Sarabande Emerging Artist Bursary.Bradwell is a recipient of the Gilbert Bayes Award 2023 and artist in Residence at Van Gogh Huis in April 2023. Bradwell's work has been exhibited, screened and performed internationally including at the Whitechapel Gallery, Nunnery Gallery, Saatchi Gallery, The Royal Academy of Arts in London, at Future DMND, LA, Zaratan, Lisbon and at the European Media Arts Festival, Osnabruck. Bradwell has completed residencies at Elephant Lab, London(2022), Cyprus College of Art, Paphos, SIM, Reykjavik (2021) and Colart, London (2019). Bradwell also curates art events, exhibitions and happenings across the UK and is Co-Director of Bad Art.Tender moments, tender flesh, tender touch, tender thoughts, tender heart, tender mind; try a little tenderness. A tender moment is encapsulated in an act of thoughtfulness; a cup of tea at the end of the day, a gift of flowers, a display of love. Tenderness is to give up one's time, attention, precious moments devoted to another. Tenderness is also pain, a moment of fragility, of weakness. It evokes skin which expands, shrinks, multiplies, and shivers to the touch. Skin which is a dying organism, for surely that is what we all are. A tender morsel of meat, deliciously melts in the mouth. Exploring these themes in contrasting ways ‘Try a little Tenderness' brings together the works of Ingrid Berthon-Moine, Flora Bradwell and Damien Flood whose practice is unified in the attempt to capture these fleeting moments.

New Talk Art! We head to London's Pippy Houldsworth Gallery to meet leading artist Nengi Omuku (b.1987, Nigeria)!!!Grappling with ideas around gender, cultural heritage and race, Nengi Omuku's practice explores the complexities of identity, focusing on interior psychological spaces and how they manifest within the physical world. Rendered in oil paint on strips of sanyan – a traditional Nigerian fabric used for draped clothing – Omuku creates ethereal scenes of figures in constant flux, interacting with one another and the landscape around them. Inspired by both archival and current images taken from the Nigerian press and media, she creates worlds in which the distinction between bodies and nature is often blurred, reflecting on the intricacies around navigating place and belonging. The spectral figures in her works have their faces deliberately obscured; silent observers whose gaze penetrates out towards the viewer. Reflecting the fluctuation in her paintings between the figurative and abstract, they too resist singularity and instead look to embrace the collective experience, echoing the choruses in Greek theatre. Omuku's interrogations of the ambiguous spaces in between is equally explored in her use of materials. Weaving together strips of sanyan, she often combines vintage textiles from different fabrics, creating an amalgamation of materials to which she then reverses and applies oil paint to the back. The dichotomy between the intricately woven and carefully designed materials combined with the fluidity of the oil paint, speaks to living between cultures whilst at the same time feeling deeply connected to her country of birth.Nengi Omuku (b.1987, Nigeria) has completed both her BA and MA at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London. Omuku's work is inspired by the politics of the body and the complexities that surround identity and difference. With every journey, she considers how human beings position themselves in space in relation to other beings. Foremost on her mind are the ways in which the body needs to adapt in order to belong. It is constantly selecting and gathering its identity, mentally, physically, and emotionally.

It is a world of humble ferocity, filled as much with desperation and romance, as it is with tenderness, melancholy and solitude. Together these paintings provide a glimpse into the vicissitudes of self acceptance, falling in love, its ecstasy and absence.McLeans canvases are woven with stories that evoke the rawness of the world we live in now - interrogating the fragility of the human condition and the carceral structures that inhibit our world, tirelessly searching for new and alternative ways of loving and self exploration. ​Read the full press release here:https://www.liminal-gallery.com/oversized-swords-chains-and-glovesOr visit the viewing room here:https://www.liminal-gallery.com/lindsey-jean-mclean-oversized-swords-chains-and-glovesContact us: info@liminal-gallery.comFollow us on Instagram: @liminal_galleryWith original music by Lorenzo Bonari.

Cerebral Women Art Talks Podcast

Ep.131 features Clotilde Jiménez, (b. Honolulu, Hawaii, 1990). He is a visual artist based in Mexico City. Jiménez received his BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland, OH (2013) in Printmaking, and an MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art, London, UK (2018) in Painting. Jiménez references intricate aspects of his life using strategically cut and arranged layers of multimedia collage that activate a dynamistic viewing of the visual narratives presented. “Most of my work is autobiographical, so collage allows me to tell several stories at the same time”, Jiménez states. Through a kaleidoscope lens, composite portraits within montaged vignettes, offer a dream-like gaze into the artist's inner thoughts. Emotions triggered from vivid dreams and memories take form, as the artist sketches daily. From this cathartic exercise, a singular visual language has emerged, resulting in thought provoking cannon of motifs: tropical fruits, pink painted fingernails, lingerie, and boxing gear. Close readings of Jiménez's work change initial evocations of whimsical frolic, and carefree simplicity, to varying interpretations that are dependent on the viewer's point of view, regarding gender performance, sexuality, social justice, and racial equality. Nonetheless, Jiménez utilizes quotidian, relatable childhood experiences that present the question, “What is so queer about queerness?” His work is featured in noted collections including; The Ford Foundation, Orlando Museum of Art, Hessel Museum of Art, and the Beth Rubin DeWoody collection.

Today I talked to Karen Odden about her new book Under a Veiled Moon (Crooked Lane Books, 2022). When the Princess Alice pleasure boat collides with a huge iron-hulled cargo ship on the Thames River, it's split in half, and only 130 of the 650 passengers and crew members survive. It's 1878, and clues point to sabotage by the Irish Republican Brotherhood, which has already used violence in hopes of restoring Home Rule. Inspector Michael Corravan, who was born in Ireland, orphaned, and raised in London by an Irish family, knows that the British will never allow Home Rule in Ireland if the IRB is to blame for the disaster. Meanwhile, violence is rising in his old neighborhood, and Colin Doyle, the youngest of his adopted family, has joined one of the violent Irish gangs. He refuses Corravan's offer of help, which puts the entire family in danger. With support from colleagues, his good friends Mr. Gordon Stiles and Mrs. Belinda Gale, Inspector Corravan presses on to uncover the truth. KAREN ODDEN received her Ph.D. in English literature from New York University, writing her dissertation on Victorian railway disasters and the origins of PTSD. She has taught at UW-Milwaukee, written essays for numerous books and journals, and edited for the journal Victorian Literature and Culture (Cambridge UP). She freely admits she might be more at home in Victorian London than today, especially when she tries to do anything complicated on her iPhone. All of her mysteries are set in 1870s London. Her first novel, A LADY IN THE SMOKE, about a young woman in a 1874 railway crash, was a USA Today bestseller. In A DANGEROUS DUET, Nell Hallam, an ambitious young pianist stumbles on a notorious crime ring while playing in a Soho music hall.

Episode Summary:In this episode we are interviewing Scottish artist Katie Paterson, on the occasion of the biggest iteration to date of Future Library project in Oslo, and one of her most political works to date, Requiem, which opened in Edinburgh in April. Katie explains: “I've always made artworks that deal with nature and time and climate, but this is the first that isn't afraid to be political and confrontational... It is both celebratory and mythical, and yet it is also the saddest work I've ever made, mourning life lost and expressing a dystopian vision.” Making a quiet and gestural artwork, Katie refers to herself as a whispering activist, calling for awareness of distance with nature. Requiem tells the birth and life of our planet in a single object – an object that uses dust gathered from material dating from pre-solar times to those of the present. Katie's visionary project Future Library is one of the best examples of how artist can contribute to global crisis. “A forest has been planted in Norway, which will supply paper for a special anthology of books to be printed in 100 years time. Between now and then, one writer every year will contribute a text, with the writings held in trust, unread and unpublished, until the year 2114. The manuscripts will be held in a specially designed room in the new public library, Oslo.”“The crisis is not imminent; the crisis is here” George MonbiotThe Speaker:Katie Paterson was born in Glasgow in 1981. She studied at Edinburgh College of Art and the Slade School of Art, London, and is widely regarded as one of the leading artists of her generation working at the nexus of art and science. Recent and upcoming projects include solo exhibitions at the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh; Turner Contemporary, Margate; NYLO, Reykjavik, and in June 2022 at Galleri F15 in Moss, Norway. Also in June, her 100-year artwork Future Library will celebrate the contributions of the last 3 writers to be commissioned and the opening of the Future Library room in the new Deichman Library in Oslo. A major new outdoor commission Mirage, for Apple's headquarters at Cupertino in California, will be unveiled later this year.

In episode 87 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews the very brilliant young painter, ANTONIA SHOWERING!!! *BOOK NEWS!* I have written a book! Order The Story of Art without Men here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-story-of-art-without-men/katy-hessel/9781529151145 Acclaimed for her richly layered paintings of family, friends, lovers and more that occupy spaces between reality and surreality, memory and imagination, Antonia Showering paints her subjects full of conviction and full of emotion. Layered with narratives of, in her words, ‘stacked recollections', her paintings can appear at once haunting and ethereal, ghoulish yet protective, and although they are personal to her, they can speak for us all. Infused with both an acidic and muted colour palette, with thick impasto and washy strokes, Antonia's paintings deal with universal subjects on a personal level. Speaking about the canvas, she has said: “I see the canvas as a physical space where feelings of belonging or displacement, love or loneliness, intergenerational memory, superstitions and regrets can be turned into something visual and shared with the viewer.” Born in London, and raised in Somerset, to an English father and Swiss-Chinese mother, Antonia's upbringing, family and heritage play central roles in her work. Having completed her foundation year at Chelsea, her BA at City and Guilds, and then her MFA at the Slade School of Art, Antonia, in just a few years, has become one of the most exciting young painters of her generation. Featured in exhibitions at Stephen Friedman Gallery and TJ Boulting, New Contemporaries and of course The Great Women Artists Residency at Palazzo Monti, Antonia recently had her first solo exhibition at Timothy Taylor which was met with acclaim.

Tom uses unidentified cabinet cards to create art, often altering the original image to enhance them, which begs the question if he is destroying the image, or creating something even better than before.Related Episodes:Bonus Episode: Stitching on Pictures with Stitchography by EmmaEpisode 153: Ellis Island Immigrant Photo IdentifiedLinks:Sign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Like the Photo Detective Facebook Page so you get notified of my Facebook Live videos.Need help organizing your photos?

In the process, he attempts to reveal the imagined personalities of the sitters while in the knowledge that he is cloaking them with parts of himself. He also makes self-portraits and uses cabinet cards and found photographs to create collages, sculptures, and rubbings to express both a love of the medium and a critique of photography as a whole.Butler was born in London, England and now lives in Portland ME, USA. He studied at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, Chelsea College of Art, UAL, and the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL.

Niamh Roberts is an artist and poet originally from our city and a recent graduate of the Slade School of Art in London. This new installation is centred around a new piece of writing entitled Fool's Spring and consists of a bicycle rack, yellow light and poem installed in CCA's Project Space and the poem is available to download in this podcast. The title of the long form poem comes from the nick name of a fake season, naming the week of warmth that comes after winter and before ‘second winter'. It is, for the artist, a false start, a brief and urgent movement between periods of stagnancy. Niamh is interested in repeating fleeting human interventions in their environment, whether seeing a person absent-mindedly moving something from one place to another, noticing a sticker stuck on the side of a wall, or screen-shotting the bike ebay ad when noticing a butterfly on the frame. Niamh writes referencing the tone of the New Narrative movement way of writing poetry, creating auto-fiction texts that sound like they could be talking about their life, but the content comes from a wide range of sources. Adopting the idea that all sources are as valid as the other, Niamh practices a way of making in which no hierarchy exists. Fool's Spring is on view in the CCA Project Space for the duration of the Northern Ireland Mental Health Festival from Monday 9–Sunday 15 May 2022.

EPISODE 29 of 'All About Art': Artist Interview with Lindsey Jean McLean In this episode, I sat down with rising star in the world of painting, Lindsey Jean McLean. Lindsey studied at the Glasgow School of Art, the Royal Drawing School, and then at the renowned Slade School of Fine Art. Her works question the historical representation of femininity and women in painting and she does this while depicting figures that exist in a space between portraiture and imagination, a combination of these. She uses recurring motifs such as feather boas, fans and veils that represent transformative objects which often obscure the viewers or the subject's gaze in her works. In her words, she subverts the historically patriarchal medium of oil paint to dismantle and create a new space to view femininity. We chat about her artistic practice while she gives advice on how to work as an artist full-time as well as important things to do as an artist to collaborate and further your career.

Georgia says that she likes to constantly come close to and then distance herself from the making process by travelling both physically and mentally between the virtual and physical worlds.  This process has become an integral part of the majority of human lives since the start of the pandemic.  Georgia's paintings are a visual metaphor of what has been happening and continues to happen in the hybrid world of our everyday lives where we distance one another in virtual worlds, sometimes even lose and then movingly rediscover one another in the physical world.  Georgia Dymock's prophetic paintings help us to find wisdom, understanding and offer a healing mediation of our internal binary oppositions in this world turned upside down.'   intro and outro music ‘Baby, I Miss The Internet' (Rama, Rama, Rama)  by TOT TAYLOR is used by kind permission of the artist ©Tot Taylor/Songmatic Music (2020) PRS/MCPS/PPL
