Artist and sculptor Permindar Kaur moves between the Black British Arts Movement, the Young British Artists (YBAs), and Barcelona in the 1990s, exploring the ambiguities of Indian and South Asian cultural identities, Nothing is Fixed is an idea that has grown from ⁠Permindar Kaur's 2022 exhibition at The Art House in Wakefield⁠. For their latest, in Southampton, the artist brings together the public and the private, transforming the various gallery spaces into bedrooms of a home. Beds, chairs, tables, and teddy bears - ambiguous, often unsettling, domestic objects - populate the space, as well as never-before-shown works on paper, which underline the role of drawing in their sculptural practice. Born in Britain to Sikh parents of Indian heritage, Permindar is often exhibited in the context of the Black British Arts Movement, showing with leading members of Blk Art Group like Eddie Chambers. The artist also describes their wider interactions with the ⁠YBAs, exhibitions in Japan, and influences from their formative years of practice in Barcelona, Spain, Canada, and Sweden. We discuss encounters with artists like Mona Hatoum and Eva Hesse, Helen Chadwick and Félix González-Torres, and more surrealist storytellers like Leonora Carrington and Paula Rego, alongside the material-focussed practices of Arte Povera. We trouble the category of ‘British Asian artists', exploring Permindar's work with and within particular Indian and Punjabi diasporic communities in Nottingham, Sheffield, and Glasgow, in Scotland. With series like Turbans, Permindar describes how their practice has changed over time, navigating questions of identity, representation, and the binary of non-/Western/European art practices. They share their research on a site-specific public sculpture for Southampton's yearly Mela Festival, a long-established event which represents, rather than ‘reclaims' space for, different South Asian cultures - and lifelong learning, from younger artists. Permindar Kaur: Nothing is Fixed ran at John Hansard Gallery in Southampton until September 2024, closing with the launch of an exhibition book of the same name, supported by Jhaveri Contemporary in Mumbai. Sculpture in the Park is on view at Compton Verney in Warwickshire until 2027. Kaur also presented work in A Spirit Inside, an exhibition of works from the Women's Art Collection and the Ingram Collection, at Compton Verney until September 2024. Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2024 opens in venues across Plymouth on 28 September 2024, and travels to the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London from 15 January 2025.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed writer and novelist, Chloe Aridjis, speaking on her friend, LEONORA CARRINGTON! Born in New York City, raised in the Netherlands and then Mexico City, Aridjis is a writer of numerous award-winning books, including three novels: Book of Clouds, Asunder, and Sea Monsters. Aridjis is also the author of numerous books and essays, including an A–Z profile on the artist we are very excitingly discussing today: Leonora Carrington, the great late British-born painter, who ran away to Paris in her teens before escaping Europe at the outbreak of the Second World War, and settling in Mexico City in the 40s, where she lived until her death in 2011. And it was in Mexico City that Aridjis got to know the surrealist, who she had tea with on Sundays and noted their extroardnary conversations that she published in, among others, Tea and Creatures with Leonora Carrington: A Photo Essay… a beautiful piece that looks at their friendship. In 2015, Aridjis went on to co-curate a major exhibition of Carrington's work at Tate Liverpool, affirming her as one of the greatest and most relevant artists to today's world. This episode is going to be slightly different to usual, as back in 2019 – for one of our first ever podcast episodes – we discussed the life of Leonora Carrington with her biographer cousin, Joanna Moorhead. We also discussed Carrington briefly with writer Deborah Levy – so do check those out. But! Today I couldn't be more excited to be delving into Arjidis's memories with the artist, uncovering the mystical symbolism that populates her work – from vegetables to cats, eggs to giants, cauldrons to kitchens, underworlds to hybridised figures – her friendships, character, and of course her paintings and writings, too.

In this special episode, EMPIRE LINES returns to Ingrid Pollard's 2022 exhibition, Carbon Slowly Turning, the first major survey of her career photographing Black experiences beyond the city and urban environments, in the English countryside. It marks the artist's participation in Invasion Ecology, a season of contemporary land art across South West England in summer 2024, questioning what we mean by ‘native' and what it means to belong. Since the 1980s, artist Ingrid Pollard has explored how Black and British identities are socially constructed, often through historical representations of the rural landscape. Born in Georgetown, Guyana, Ingrid draws on English and Caribbean photographic archives, with works crossing the borders of printmaking, sculpture, audio, and video installations. Their practice confronts complex colonial histories, and their legacies in our contemporary lived experiences, especially concerning race, sexuality, and identity. Curated by the artist and Gilane Tawadros, Carbon Slowly Turning led to Pollard's shortlisting for the Turner Prize 2022. From its iteration at the Turner Contemporary in Margate, Ingrid exposes the pre-Windrush propaganda films beneath works like Bow Down and Very Low -123 (2021), her plural influences from Maya Angelou to Muhammad Ali, and playing on popular culture with works in the Self Evident series (1992). As a Stuart Hall Associate Fellow at the University of Sussex, and with a PhD-by-publication, the artist discusses the role of research in her media-based practice. Finally, Ingrid opens her archive of depictions of African figures 'hidden in plain sight' in English towns and villages - from classical portraiture, to ‘Black Boy' pub signs. Ingrid Pollard: Carbon Slowly Turning ran at MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, the Turner Contemporary in Margate, and Tate Liverpool, throughout 2022. The exhibition was supported by the Freelands Foundation and Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, and the episode first released as part of EMPIRE LINES at 50. Invasion Ecology is co-curated by Jelena Sofronijevic for Radical Ecology, and Vashti Cassinelli at Southcombe Barn, an arts space and gardens on Dartmoor. The central group exhibition, featuring Ingrid Pollard, Iman Datoo, Hanna Tuulikki, Ashish Ghadiali, Fern Leigh Albert, and Ashanti Hare, runs from 1 June to 10 August 2024. The wider programme includes anti-colonial talks and workshops with exhibiting artists, writers, researchers, and gardeners, reimagining more empathic connections between humans, plants, animals, and landscapes. Ingrid will join EMPIRE LINES in conversation with Corinne Fowler, Professor of Colonialism and Heritage in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester, Director of Colonial Countryside: National Trust Houses Reinterpreted, and author of Our Island Stories: Country Walks through Colonial Britain (2024), in July 2024. For more information, follow Radical Ecology and Southcombe Barn on social media. You can also listen to the EMPIRE LINES x Invasion Ecology Spotify playlist, for episodes with Paul Gilroy, Lubaina Himid, Johny Pitts, and Imani Jacqueline Brown, plus partners from the University of Exeter, KARST, CAST, and the Eden Project in Cornwall. Ingrid Pollard's Three Drops of Blood (2022), commissioned by talking on corners (Dr Ella S. Mills and Lorna Rose), also explores representations of ferns, botany, and folk traditions in Devon's historic lace-making industry. First exhibited at Thelma Hubert Gallery in Honiton, it is now part of the permanent collection of The Box in Plymouth, where it will be displayed from 19 October 2024.

In the early 1960s, Poet & multimedia artist Gerd Stern & friends Michael Callahan & Steve Durkee founded USCO (an acronym for Us Company or the Company of Us). It became a burgeoning cooperative group of artists, poets, filmmakers, engineers, & composers who worked out of an old church in Garnerville, New York, north of NYC. It is here that they emerged as probably the first producers of multimedia happenings, of immersive & oozing light shows, ephemeral performances that became all the rage during the height of hippie-LSD times. Part hippie, part beatnik, part Black Mountain, part Eastern mysticism, part fluxus, part political leftist, & part new music, they adhered to collective & inclusive artistic practices & preferred to work under the USCO name rather than as individual artists. USCO utilized unique new uses for lighting, colors, projections, film, audio, & live performances to create multimedia & environmental art that included installations with slide projections, closed-circuit television, oscilloscopes, strobe lights, amplifiers, early IBM computers, live performances. This culminate most famously in the Expanded Cinema Festival & Timothy Leary's Psychedelic Theater & the first multimedia disco called Murray the K's World that incorporated immersive technology & ideas, allowing audiences – many of whom may have been tripping – to feel as if they were entering a new, immersive,  sensory realm. They've performed or exhibited at many great museums, universities & venues including the van Abbe Museum in Eindhoven, Walker Art Center, Whitney Museum, Tate Liverpool, Pompidou Center, MIT, & RISDI. The USCO Church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. I first met Gerd in the 20th Century. Born in Germany in 1928, he emigrated with his parents to the US as a refugee in 1936.  Gerd & started crossing paths in New York City in the 1960s.  We  discovered common ground at a Phill Niblock loft concert in the 1990s. He asked me to write music & sound design for his play, “Lost Cabaret” or “Katandogastrophic,” produced for the 2003 New York Fringe Festival. I asked Gerd to create  poetry for a 3D sound work Sky High. It is included in this iMMERSE! podcast.

Antonia Whillans is making her mark as an actor, voice-over artist, and model, while also passionately championing causes as an activist. Her commitment extends to animal rights, human rights, and veganism, considering it a moral imperative to confront oppression and advocate for a world imbued with compassion and kindness towards all living beings. Antonia takes pride in being a prominent face of Vegan Happy, a brand that embodies genuine ethics—promoting kindness to animals, people, and the planet. Wearing the exquisite attire from Vegan Happy allows individuals to make a statement wherever they go. In her dedicated pursuit of aligning work with animal rights activism and veganism, Antonia played a pivotal role in Viva! charity's inaugural television commercial, broadcasted across Channel 4 and associated networks, reaching an impressive 16 million viewers initially and 18 million upon re-airing the following year. Her commitment to raising awareness took a daring turn as she participated in a bold stunt outside Tate Liverpool with the organization Speciesism. Braving freezing temperatures of -3 degrees, she portrayed a human woman being milked, shedding light on the harsh realities of the dairy industry. The stunt garnered substantial attention from media outlets such as The Save Movement, Plantbased News, Vegan FTA UK & Spain, and Liverpool World, ensuring widespread coverage of the impactful demonstration. Antonia further lent her voice to the award-winning documentary 'When Pigs Escape,' narrating the compelling story of Matilda, a pig who defied slaughter, gave birth in a woodland, and eventually found sanctuary amidst public outcry. Currently involved in another documentary titled 'Food for Thought,' focusing on Veganism and currently in post-production, Antonia continues to utilize her platform to shed light on crucial issues. Notably, during London Fashion Week, Antonia graced the runway in vegan cactus leather and gender-neutral footwear designed by Sophie Park, a graduate of the Jimmy Choo Academy, exemplifying her commitment to promoting ethical and sustainable fashion choices. www.veganhappyclothing.co.uk⁠ FaceBook ⁠@veganhappyclothing⁠ Instagram ⁠@veganhappyclothing https://linktr.ee/antoniawhillans

In den News berichten wir von der kreativen Pause, die sich der ESC Greenroom nimmt. Die sympathischen Podcaster hören mal für eine Weile auf. Mit Sonia und Sascha hatten wir ja ein wunderbares Blind Date in der Episode #03.18. Ihre früheren Folgen sind hörenswert und weiterhin abrufbar auf www.escgreenroom.de. Sonia bleibt der Öffentlichkeit natürlich weiter mit ihrem Blog "Bleistiftrocker.de" Wie immer gibt es zahllose Neuerscheinungen. Wir haben für euch drei recht ungewöhnliche Kolaborationen rausgesucht:The Rasmus und Kalush Orchestra haben den alten The Rasmus-Hit "In The Shadows" neu eingespielt. "In The Shadows of Ukraine" ist hörens- und sehenswert. Tokio Hotel haben sich mit Daði Freyr zusammen getan und die Nummer "Happy People" aufgenommen. Der Gewinner von 2019, Duncan Laurence, hat sich mit der kommerziellen Gewinnerin des aktuellen Jahres ins Studio begeben. Rosa Linn aus Armenien ist bekanntlich die große Abräumerin in den Charts weltweit mit "Snap". Das Ergebnis der Zusammenarbeit ist das Duett "WDIA (Would Do It Again)".Auf nach Liverpool! Die englische Stadt an der Mersey wird für die Ukraine den Eurovision Song Contest 2023 ausrichten. Wir wollen mehr von der Stadt erfahren und haben dazu drei Gäste: Christoph Grunenberg ist Direktor der Kunsthalle Bremen und leitete zehn Jahre lang die Tate Liverpool. Layla George und Peter Warren-Jowett sind zwei Eurovision-Fans, die in Liverpool leben. Ihr erfahrt unter anderem was Scousers sind.Doch zuerst mal die Hard Facts: Liverpool hat knapp 500.000 Einwohner. Im öffentlich gut erreichbaren Einzugsgebiet leben rund 2,25 Millionen Menschen - es gibt also Ausweichmöglichkeit bei Übernachtungen. Es ist mit dem Zug in ungefähr zwei Stunden von London erreichbar und liegt an der Mündung des Mersey gegenüber der irischen Insel und war ein bedeutender Handelshafen. Mit dem Niedergang des Handels musste sich die Stadt neu erfinden und fand in der Kunst und Kultur ihre neue Heimat: Zwar waren die Beatles unzweifelhaft der Exportschlager schlecht hin - und kein Tourist kommt an ihnen vorbei - doch auch eine ganze Reihe anderer Bands war Anfang bis Ende der 60er bekannt und ein ganzes musikalisches Genre wurde danach benannt: Mersey Beat oder Liverpool Sound. In den 80er Jahren waren es dann vor allem Superstars wie OMD und Frankie Goes To Hollywood, die Liverpool in die Charts zurück brachte.Wir fragten unsere Gäste, was denn den Charme Liverpools ausmachte. Sie heben einstimmig die Freundlichkeit der Liverpudlians (wie sie offiziell heißen) hervor, man spricht Fremde an - anders als z.B. in London. Und dass die Scousers, so die inoffizielle Eigenbezeichnung, einen sehr eigenen Humor und einen eigenen Akzent haben. Scouse ist übrigens ein Eintopf, eine lokale Spezialität. Layla führt aus, dass Liverpool wahrscheinlich den Zuschlag bekommen hat, weil sie eng mit ihrer Partnerstadt Odessa zusammen arbeiten wollten. Die Ukraine, sind sie und Peter überzeugt, wird sicher einen festen Platz in der Show bekommen. Ausgetragen wird der Song Contest mitten in der Stadt und das Eurovision Village ist gleich daneben. Und von einem weiteren Gerücht berichten Peter und Layla: Von Sonia, der Zweitplatzierten aus dem Jahr 1993, soll es angeblich 20 Pappaufsteller geben, die an diversen Stellen Liverpools zu sehen sein werden. Die Scousers sollen das wohl mögen.  Ob Jemini, die Nullpunkter aus dem Jahr 2003, einen Platz beim Eurovision Song Contest 2023 bekommen, ist noch ungewiss. Das Duo aus Liverpool hat sich nach dem Desaster mit "Cry Baby" getrennt.Mehr Informationen zu Liverpool gibt es auf der Website des Tourismusverbandes der Stadt VisitLiverpool.com.Als Geheimtipp für Liverpool wurden Marco und Alkis übrigens von den Gästen Toiletten empfohlen...Und noch ein ungewöhnlicher Tipp: In der Kunsthalle Bremen sind noch bis 6. November 2022 nackte Männer zu sehen. "Der männliche Akt auf Papier" muss danach dem allerliebsten Bild-Motiv weichen: Dem Sonnenuntergang in der Kunst.Und die Fragen am Schluss?Christoph Grunenberg ist der deutsche Beitrag, "Rockstars" von Malik Harris, noch positiv in Erinnerung geblieben. Layla hört Rosa Linn mit "Snap" noch immer gern. Und Peter liebt "Brividi" von Mahmood & Blanco.Die Frage nach dem Eurovision-Lieblingssong ist ja immer wieder gemein. Für Layla ist es "Love Shine A Light" von Katrina & The Waves aus dem Jahr 1997. Für Christoph Grunenberg ist es nicht Eurovision, wenn "Waterloo" von ABBA aus dem Jahr 1974 nicht erwähnt wird. Und für Peter ist es "Calm After The Storm" von den Common Linnets, den Zweitplatzierten hinter Conchita aus dem Jahr 2014.In der Kleinen Song Contest Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Marco von den Beatles beim Eurovision Song Contest. Allerdings ein paar Jahre nach ihrer Trennung. Aber hört selbst.

Peter Gorschlüter, director of Museum Folkwang in Essen since 2018, is one of the youngest museum directors in Germany. Peter talks his early, formative years, growing up in a household with an affinity for culture. He talks his almost becoming a gallerist and how unexpectedly then the course was set to pursue a career as curator - and later director - of art institutions. He talks in depth about his working in different international art institutions through the years with a focus on developing an approach for Museum Folkwang that honors the history of the museum, as well as opens up new ways in corresponding with the time and the needs of the people. The demuseumization of the museum is an essential question for him and he would like to transfer the Folkwang (= hall of the people) vision of the museum founder Karl Ernst Osthaus into our times, thinking across genres and and epochs. Therefore he considers participation, transparency and putting people in the center of attention to be very important tasks. He sees himself not only as museum manager, but also as someone who intitiates content impulses. Peter studied Theater, Film and Television Studies, also German Studies and Philosophy in Cologne. He started organizing exhibitions early on, worked at a gallery for contemporary art and then was invited to the post of curator and research assistant at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf. He spent some important years being chief curator of Tate Liverpool where he headed the Collection and Exhibitions Department. In 2010 he was co-curator of the Liverpool Biennial.

In questo audio il prezioso incontro con Gianpaolo Bertozzi (Bertozzi&Casoni) artista e Sonia Calvari vulcanologa L'intervista nel podcast Contemporaneamente di Mariantonietta Firmani, il podcast pensato per Artribune.In Contemporaneamente podcast trovate incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà.Giampaolo Bertozzi e Sonia Calvari ci raccontano di terra. Della terra che la ceramica trasforma in arte, e delle caratteristiche fisiche della terra che ospita l'umano. Tra terra e arte si parla di pace, tra contenuti straordinari, nell'umiltà di approcci multidisciplinari, dove ciascuno è lontano dal proprio specifico dottrinale. La passione per l'arte nasce con la persona stessa e il lavoro dell'artista si sviluppa tra caso e fortuna per creare domande. Studiando i vulcani comprendiamo i processi della terra in continua evoluzione, come la potenza del magma che in un minuto percorre tre chilometri in verticale. È importante acquisire perfettamente una tecnica per poterla poi dimenticare e trasformarla in espressione identitaria che racconta la realtà e il dolore del mondo. La tecnologia migliora la soluzione dei problemi per i cittadini, tuttavia, con l'aumento dei dati aumenta la complessità da gestire e comprendere. Resta fondamentale trovare le motivazioni, e molto altro.ASCOLTA L'INTERVISTA!! BREVI NOTE BIOGRAFICHE DEGLI AUTORIPaolo Bertozzi Bertozzi&Casoni è una società fondata nel 1980 a Imola da Giampaolo Bertozzi e da Stefano Dal Monte Casoni. Dopo studi dedicati scelgono la ceramica dipinta come materia per realizzare opere, centrate sull'interpretazione del caduco, del transitorio e peribile. Infatti, le loro “contemplazioni del presente” ispirate alla categoria artistica della vanitas, diventano icone internazionalmente riconosciute della condizione umana non solo contemporanea. Critica, musei e le più importanti gallerie d'arte internazionali si interessano al vostro lavoro. Tra surrealismo compositivo e iperrealismo formale Bertozzi & Casoni hanno rivoluzionato l'uso della ceramica che diventa arte a tutti gli effetti. Nel 2017 nasce il Museo Bertozzi&Casoni presso la Cavallerizza Ducale di Sassuolo, spazio permanente che raccoglie una selezione delle opere più significative della produzione artistica. Alle loro opere sono dedicate molte personali in eccellenti luoghi dell'arte internazionali come: Tate Liverpool, Sperone Westwater, New York; Biennale di Venezia; Quadriennale Roma.

What nationalities served in the British navy of the 18th century and what difference did peacetime and wartime conditions have on the make-up of crews? How does visiting a landlocked village that was once a thriving Gloucestershire port change our view of history? What did enslaved people think about their rescue by anti-slavery rescue ships? These are the questions Rana Mitter will be asking three writers and historians: Sara Caputo, Tom Nancollas and New Generation Thinker Jake Subryan Richards.

Episode No. 522 features artist Aliza Nisenbaum and curator Davide Gasparotto. Aliza Nisenbaum's work is on view at the Cleveland Museum of Art in "Picturing Motherhood Now," a look at how contemporary artists represent motherhood. Curated by Emily Liebert, it is on view through March 13, 2022. The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City is showing "Aliza Nisenbaum: Aquí Se Puede (Here You Can)," an exhibition of large-scale portraits of individuals connected to Kansas City salsa music and dance communities. It was curated by Erin Dziedzic and is up through July 31, 2022. Tate Liverpool and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts are among the museums that have presented solo exhibitions of Nisenbaum's work. Gasparotto discusses the J. Paul Getty Museum's acquisition of Jacopo Bassano's 1554 The Miracle of the Quails. The picture goes on view at the Getty today. The nearly eight-foot-wide painting is a rare depiction of the Old Testament detailing of the miracle of the quails. Bassano based his visual account from a single line in the Bible's story.

Bonnie Maclean's story has rather humble beginnings. She was largely a self taught artist and graphic designer. Originally from Philadelphia, she relocated to San Francisco in 1963, during a pivotal time in US history. Maclean started her career as an assistant to Bill Graham before he began working as a concert promoter for the Filmore. She would eventually take over as the in-house poster designer from Wes Wilson, who is often cited as a strong influence on MacLean's work. Her previous design experience included chalkboard announcements and evening lineups for the concert hall. Today her work for the  Filmore is considered an important contribution to the psychedelic music scene of the 1960s. However, despite her contributions, the history of graphic design largely recognizes the “Big Five'' as the most important or iconic figures contributing to the music poster scene of this era. It shouldn't be surprising that the “Big Five'' doesn't include Maclean. However, her psychedelic posters for the Filmore have been collected and exhibited by museums and galleries and recognized for their impact on the music poster scene of 1960s San Francisco.TIMELINE1939 – b Philadelphia1961 – graduated from Penn State university with a degree in French1961 – Moved to New York city, took drawing classes at night at Pratt Institute where she was working1963 – Moved to San Francisco and began work with Bill Graham1967 – Married concert promoter Bill Graham1967 – Wes Wilson left the Filmore and Bonnie became the primary poster designer in his stead.1968 – gave birth to son David1975 – Divorced Bill Graham1981 – married second husband Jacques Fabert (artist)2005 – work was featured at the Tate Liverpool in a show called “The Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic era”2013 – Jacques Fabert dies2014 –  headliner at the TRPS Festival of Rock Posters in San Francisco2015 – designs commemorative poster for Hall & Oates to mark the grand opening of the Philadelphia Fillmore 2020 – died in PennsylvaniaREFERENCESAnkeny, J.

Episode 3 of Season 2 of ARTiculate. I continue to talk to remarkable artists who inspire me in their pursuit of finding their authentic voice within their practise. In a time when it is dangerous to touch our friends, the sensitive touch embodied in a good painting is a genuine gift. They embody something of the human intelligence that made them. They are the products of care embedded in a surface through touch. They speak to us as physical bodies, and remind us of how that physicality connects us to the people around us and to the larger world. I had the pleasure of talking with Jai Chuhan who's unique and expressive paintings are as she puts it ‘painterly exploration of displacement, conflict and desire challenging tropes of exploitation or celebration. Jai is an Indian born British artist who studied at UCL Slade School of Fine Art in the 80s and is currently based in Manchester. Her paintings are sculptural, thick with the texture of impasto paint giving her portraits a certain gravitas. The deliberate use of a vivid colour palette presents the female body as a physical and psychological presence, suggested by simplified geometric areas of colour and lines and shifting viewpoints. Anonymous figures observed in the city are complemented by portrayal of familiar people including self-portraits, using a combination of observation, memory and photographs. Jai's thinks of her practise as an act of zoning in to process beginning with layers of marks. She invests her time in reworking each and every individual picture by erasing an image, after another image, negotiating with time and the image as an act of searching and finding a visual crystallization of ideas. Whether she uses thick impasto of pigments or thin washes that fill the canvas, whatever the method, it makes us as the viewer lose sense of time. Her genre of painting reflects her transcultural aesthetic influences. Jai's work have been exhibited widely in the UK and internationally in solo including the Home and Unhome group show in China, and two solo shows for Asia Triennial Manchester 2018. Some of the prestigious institutions in the Uk include the Tate Liverpool; Barbican, London; Ikon, Birmingham; Arnolfini, Bristol, University of Cambridge; among many many other galleries and institutions.
Recent solo exhibitions include at People's History Museum for Asia Triennial Manchester 2011; Victoria Gallery & Museum, Liverpool 2013; Liverpool Biennial 2014; Gallery Oldham and at HOME for Asia Triennial Manchester 2018. Recent group exhibitions include at ArtANKARA Contemporary Art Fair, Turkey 2020.

Novelist William Boyd and Timothy Garton Ash, Professor of European Studies at Oxford, reflect on the work of John le Carré exploring why he was more than a spy novelist, and how history shaped his novels and how they then shaped history. Comedy duo The Pin join Samira to talk about their West End debut “The Comeback”, which wittily dissects the dynamics of double acts. Ben Ashenden and Alex Owen’s show has been described by Sonia Friedman as “the cure for theatre” in these Covid times. Aliza Nisenbaum, the Mexican-born New York-based artist, is currently in her temporary studio in Los Angeles in lockdown. From there she discusses her new exhibition at Tate Liverpool, a series of portraits of key workers in the city that she painted during online conversations in August, including an entire team from the Emergency Department at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and other NHS staff on the Covid frontline.

Er war Künstler, Pop-Ikone und Aktivist; visualisierte die großen Themen seiner Zeit mit wenigen Mitteln; entwickelte eine individuelle Piktogrammsprache und vermarktete sich nicht zuletzt über einen eigenen "Pop Shop".

Nov) in Kooperation mit der Tate Liverpool und dem BOZAR/Centre for Fine Arts Brussels eine Wanderausstellung der Keith Haring Foundation. Wir waren in der Retrospektive im Ruhrgebiet und berichten.

Angela Samata became a widow at 32, after her partner Mark died by suicide. There were no warning signs that he was depressed or suicidal. After talking to him on the phone, Angela arrived home just 15 minutes later, opening the door to find he had taken his life. They were 15 minutes that turned Angela’s life upside down, and the life of their two young kids, transforming them into a family that had gone through one of the most seismic, extraordinary experiences. Having been the one to find Mark, Angela was also thrown immediately into a new lived experience with shock and trauma at its core. Since then, Angela has produced a sensational documentary with the BBC on suicide, meeting communities of people affected by suicide. She’s also developed a vital training programme to support learning on suicide prevention; a short 20-minute guide on what to do if someone you know is feeling suicidal. All in the show notes on ofmountainsandminds.com. Please watch, share and pass on to whoever you can, especially those supporting people with depression or other mental illness. Angela is infectiously passionate about many things. She’s a mental health campaigner, sharing her reality of suicide with the media, various committees and NGOs to bring about change. She’s also immersed in the art world, working with galleries such as Tate Liverpool. As if this wasn’t enough, she’s a star sourdough baker, check out her amazing creations on Instagram! As well as her own very personal experience of grief, trauma and learning, we got into a deep dive on the practice of quality listening; the learning that emerged from filming her BBC documentary; supporting children and young people to express their grief; and the need for more action and change around the issue of female suicide.

Russell and Robert chat to Maria Balshaw CBE, Director of Tate, a family of four art galleries in London, Liverpool and Cornwall known as Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives.

Welcome to this Paradise Garage special celebrating the genius of Larry Levan on what would have been Larry Levan's 66th birthday and also a celebration of the talent and elegance of Grace Jones. Covering Disco, Funk, Rare Groove, House, Latin and Soul plus special Worldwide delights, this is an up beat vibe that will sure to get your head bobbing and your toes tapping. Expect Classic and Larry Levan reworked tracks by Grace Jones, Chic, Blondie, The Pointer Sister's, Diana Ross, Sylvester and Gwen Guthrie. There's also a bunch of tracks that you quite possibly may have not heard before thrown in and thrown down for good measure. To describe The Paradise Garage here is an article by Vice: "'Saturday Mass' is what people called Larry Levan's DJ sets at New York's most legendary nightclub, the Paradise Garage. "Larry would preach through his music from the DJ booth, just like a minister or priest does from a pulpit," says DJ and close friend of Levan's David DePino. Levan delivered his sermon each weekend, from the club's opening in 1977 (while it was still in construction) to the day the Garage forever closed its doors in the summer of 1987. Located, true to its name, in a parking garage on 84 King Street in Manhattan, it was one of the only clubs ever built for a specific DJ. As a venue it was relatively nondescript, but what it lacked in decor it made up for with its much-revered sound system and passionate members. The Garage's legend is synonymous with that of Levan, who was the club's resident DJ in the most literal sense; at one point even living in the building. He treated it with the reverence accorded to a house of worship: repositioning the sound system on the night, stopping his set at 2AM to polish the mirrorballs, and even ensuring that the bins were thoroughly cleaned. All of which seems unthinkable for a DJ today but then the Garage was more than just a club, it was Levan's vision of paradise. For the Garage's congregation, the private membership policy offered them some sense of sanctuary and ownership. It was one of the few clubs in New York which the gay, and predominantly African-American and Latino, patrons could genuinely call their own. "The Garage was a place for people that were not accepted in society, a place from them to be free, to be who they are," says Victor Rosado, who worked at the club. Even with the momentum of the gay rights movement post-Stonewall, homophobic violence on the streets and police harassment continued largely unabated. "It took a while to build the trust of the gay community," says DePino. Eventually, the gay nights on Friday took off with the already popular Saturdays drawing a more mixed flock. Levan delighted in playing tricks on both his friends and audience, whether by playing the same song over and over for an hour or jolting the dancefloor with a sudden blast of bass. But his signature technique was weaving a narrative from the sentiments and lyrics of the records he played, describing each as a new sentence or paragraph in the stories he was trying to tell over his 12 hour sets." This is one special mix put together with Love. Enjoy the warm energetic vibes!

This special edition of the Lisson podcast ON AIR, entitled ‘Voices’, is dedicated to the artist Susan Hiller, who died earlier this year, aged 78. Hiller’s was a unique voice in contemporary art over the last five decades and succeeded in distilling many important truths and posing enduring questions about belief and humanity, often using the speech or the impressions of others, many of which were seldom heard. While a memorial is being held at Tate Modern in the same week as this podcast is being released – as is a presentation of important early pieces, staged in a solo booth at the Frieze Masters art fair – this episode calls on many of her friends, colleagues and admirers from all over the art world to share their memories and interpretations of her life and work. Among these recordings are interjections from Susan Hiller herself, taped at many live panels and conversations held over the last few years, including at Tate Liverpool, Frieze Art Fair, Art Basel, Lisson Gallery, the Jewish Museum in New York, the Model in Sligo, Ireland, as well as for Resonance FM, Slade School of Art, and Hiller's alma mater of Smith College in Massachusetts.

#4 Imaginary Landscapes What is the place of Black diasporic art in Britain today? How do artists use imaginary landscapes to look to the future, break ground and envisage a world beyond? Can you imagine this alternative future? Artist Barby Asante in conversation with curator Paul Goodwin; artist, activist and collector of diasporic art CCH Pounder, alongside Get Up, Stand Up Now curator Zak Ové reflect, 50 years on from Baldwin’s Nigger (Horace Ové, 1969) in which African-American writer James Baldwin discussed Black experience and identity in Britain and America.

Producer: Femi Oriogun-Williams The series was produced by Reduced Listening and Somerset House Barby Asante Barby Asante is an artist, curator and researcher. Her work is concerned with the politics of place and the histories and legacies of colonialism, producing projects that are collaborative and performative to stimulate dialogue on what is unheard or missing from cultural archives. Through creating social rituals and re-enactments she interrogates dominant narratives to think about migration, safe spaces in hostile cities and the overlooked everyday contributions of people of colour to our social, political and cultural understandings. Paul Goodwin Working as a curator at Tate Britain from 2008 to 2012 Goodwin directed the pioneering Cross Cultural Programme that explored questions of migration and globalisation in contemporary British art through a programme of international conferences, workshops, talks and live art events.

With a career spanning over 40 years, the actress was first celebrated for her strong female roles in television shows such as ER, The Shield and Sons of Anarchy, as well as films including Avatar, Orphan and Baghdad Café. Pounder opened an art gallery in Los Angeles, the Pounder-Kone Art Space and founded with her late husband Boubacar Kone the Musée Boribana, the first privately owned contemporary art museum in Dakar, Senegal.

Television dramatist Sally Wainwright has written award-winning crime series such as Happy Valley, heart-warming love stories such as Last Tango in Halifax. The last time she turned her attention to the 19th century, it was to portray the Brontës in To Walk Invisible. Now she’s returned to the Victorian age, this time looking at the life of lesbian landowner Anne Lister. Historical novelist, Philippa Gregory reviews. The idea of the canon in contemporary and modern art is currently being fiercely debated in galleries and museums with many of these institutions now attempting to broaden the canon by including previously overlooked female artists and artists of colour, and challenging the idea of a universal canon by trying to reflect their localities in their collections. Caroline Douglas, Director of the Contemporary Art Society, and Helen Legg, Director of Tate Liverpool discuss the rebalancing of modern and contemporary art collections. In the aftermath of the Manchester Arena bombing, the name of one of the victims, 29-year-old Coronation Street superfan, Martyn Hett, began trending on twitter with the hashtag BeMoreMartyn. The hashtag has now evolved into the title of a verbatim play created from interviews with eight of Martyn’s friends. Theatre critic Lyn Gardner, and Mike Lee, the co-writer of the play, join Front Row to talk about making theatre from such a traumatic event. Recent days have seen English football clubs enjoy dramatic success in Europe, but it’s Welsh football that is the subject of celebration in a new exhibition at Tŷ Pawb, the arts centre in Wrexham.

In het gesprek is er onder meer aandacht voor de achtergrond van het denken van schilder Piet Mondriaan.

On this episode, I went to the Andy Warhol Museum to meet up with José Carlos Diaz, the Chief Curator there. We used the office meeting rooms late one summer day, just as the sun began to fall towards the horizon line. Prior to the Warhol, José was the Curator of Exhibitions at the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach, where he helped program shows with artists such as Rachel Harrison and El Anatsui. Before the Bass Museum, he worked at Tate Liverpool and on the Liverpool Biennial. José received an M.A. in Cultural History from the University of Liverpool and a B.A. in Art History from San Francisco State University. In 2016, José was listed as one of the 20 most influential young curators in the US by Artsy. José’s first saw me in the first week of his working at the Warhol. I happened to be giving a talk at the museum with Jessica Beck, also a curator at the Warhol. José and I connected shortly after over some tacos and we’ve been hanging out ever since. José’s constant hustling never ceases to amaze me and I’m surprised he somehow makes the time to hang out with little ol’ me. As you can imagine, I was quite excited to chat with José. Our conversation touches upon José’s meandering path to becoming a curator, diversity in the curatorial museum world, and the differences between Miami and Pittsburgh. In any case, I hope you enjoy this.

Quietly contemplative yet intensely evocative, Hannah Starkey's photographs explore the physical and psychological connections between the individual and her everyday urban surroundings. Since the beginning of her career, the artist has worked predominantly with women as her subjects, collaborating closely with actresses as well as anonymous acquaintances she meets on-site to develop intricately textured scenes. Stark architectural backdrops and strong associations of color and imagery heighten the sensation of her compositions on both a formal and associative level, triggering personal interpretations and a deeper mediation on the experience of the visual world at large. Born in Belfast in 1971, Hannah currently lives and works in London. She received a B.A. in Photography and Film from Napier University in Edinburgh in 1995 and an M.A. in Photography from Royal College of Art in London in 1997. She has received numerous awards and honors throughout her career, which include the Vogue Condé Nast Award (1997), the 3rd International Tokyo Photo Biennale’s Award for Excellence (1999), and the St. James Group Ltd Photography Prize (2002). In 2000, she presented her first major solo exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin. Other important solo presentations include Twenty-Nine Pictures at the Mead Gallery at Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry, UK (2011) and Church of Light Altarpiece, a site-specific commission for St. Catherine’s Church in Frankfurt (2010). Her work has also been exhibited as part of important group presentations at Tate Liverpool, Huis Marseille Museum for Photography in Amsterdam, Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, France, Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, and the National Portrait Gallery in London, among other museums worldwide.
