Field Pod – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Join Kris, Jacob and Lisa along with guests Ruth Jeyaveeran and Tracy Le as we chat with Ilona Szwarc about her work during Field Residency! We discuss the different experiences Ilona had at Yale and SVA and her latest project on Seasonal Color in Fashion. This work continues her long term exploration of “the expert” in art, fashion, “beauty,” and photography wherein Ilona takes on the role of the expert, casting “look alike” models along side her to create images reflecting the expert who forms and molds pupils to their image. Some of the topics we discuss are: 

The first popular book on the seasons is: "Color: The essence of you" by Suzanne Caygill (We HIGHLY recommend checking this out, it’s a wild ride).https://www.amazon.com/Color-Essence-You-Suzanne-Caygill/dp/0890871957 

Johannes Itten was a painter and the first person to use the term Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter as it related to color and it was the foundation for the development of seasonal color analysis.

Shame, trauma, and healing are at the core of SECRETO, a years-long project by María Luisa Portuondo Vila. Field Projects is honored to unveil the first book produced from this work at our gallery NEXT WEEK, so stay tuned and you can meet with María Luisa yourself! Secrets grip us, and we get into grief, love, death, sex, and abuse in this deeply human conversation. We discuss María Luisa’s early transition from private theater to community centered public works, and what it means to make projects for the public. Ghostly, haunting thoughts of the pandemic time came together in María Luisa ’s project HABITĀR, whose second iteration was completed at Field Projects residency in 2021. This enabled her to make a book that is materially outside the dominant institutional cannon of paper-centric men’s publications! We also cover questions around audience participation and how to make institutions chase you (not the other way around!) through process, not product. 

PLEASE JOIN US FOR the *SECRETO Book Launch Wednesday October 12, 2022!*

Our final take away: Reflecting and openness is not related to money and can’t be commercialized, so it is a responsible, anti-market act that helps to better yourself and your community. Be open and love yourself and everyone else you can :)

CODA: Perfect Lovers discussion.

TW: There is a brief discussion of childhood sexual abuse around 52 mins, so if that’s not for you, we’ll see you next time!

Today, host Kris Racaniello sits down with Lydia Nobles in the exhibition TEMPUS FUGIT, curated by Charles Moore at Latchkey Gallery. Lydia speaks about her two sculptures there and their intersection with her larger project documenting and materializing the spectrum of abortion stories. We then talk about sculpture as an offering, the history of communal vs. patriarchal medicine practices in obstetrics and gynecology, as well as abortion as a societal benefit. The exhibition features works by some truly amazing artists: Calli Roche, Camille Hoffman, Chellis Baird, Emmanuel Massillon, Esteban Whiteside, Keli Safia Maksud, Kevin Claiborne, Leah DeVun, Lindsey Brittain Collins, Lydia Nobles and Telvin Wallace.

*Apologies for the occasional footsteps–– we were interviewing in a well-trafficked gallery! 

Summer Shorts are quick takes, an intimate interview with one of the Field Pod hosts and a guest. These will take the form of artists presenting their work, getting drunk with artist friends, and if we are so moved… impromptu recordings at openings or exhibitions. Don’t worry though in Season 3 launching this September we will be back to double teaming these interviewees! Enjoy!

Today on the podcast we are joined by Alexandra Rubinstein, whose current exhibition The Moon Also Rises is up at Mother Gallery in Tribeca through July 16. Discussing the difficulty of both angry and relaxed work in the studio, therapy, gender and figurative painting, and many other important topics. Alexandra is a brilliant, talented artist and we highly recommend you check out the show at Mother, and get to know her work more broadly. Before that Jacob and Kris talk about what’s been happening this past week. They talk about shows, burnout, books, and their personal self-care practices. In the Human Centipede vs. His House horror movie competition, His House wins by a landslide. It’s a very therapeutically-oriented episode! 

This is the final episode of season one, but we will already be back next week with a new format for SEASON 2: SUMMER SHORTS. These will be short, 30 minute interviews and talks with either Jacob or I out in the world as we attend art or activist or academic intersecting events throughout the summer.

Immortality! Truth! History! FRRRRREEEEEDDDDOOOOOMMMM!

Today on the podcast we sit down in Field Projects with Jagrut Raval, our current field resident. We talk about history and myth making, as well as the imaginary of immortality and what it might mean to achieve that. Jagrut is an artist(?) history-maker, fabulator, and chronicler. We discuss his work on the figure Narad, who is, possibly, an immortal time traveler. Be prepared for a candid conversation about time travel, truth, comparative religion and our constructed identities. There is also a subtle undertone of language and belief systems as shaping forces behind our world perspectives. But first join Jacob and Kris as they talk about what’s been happening this past week. They talk about the shows they attended both together and separately including The Border Project Space’s opening last Friday featuring Kyoko Hamaguchi: Never Since. Kris talks about the opening of Pamela Sneed at Laurel Gitlen and Alexandra Rubenstien’s new solo exhibition “The Moon Also Rises” at Mother Gallery. Alexandra will be on the podcast next week! So stay tuned for even more discussion of those gorgeous, macho moon paintings. We conclude, as usual, with a list of shows to “go see” right now.

Longing! Death! Materiality! + Open Call Submissions! 

Today we have a very special guest–– Melissa Joseph, our summer Open Call guest curator–– a brilliant artist and independent curator who is interested in connecting people through collective memory and shared experiences. Her work addresses themes of diaspora, family histories and the politics of how we occupy spaces. We sit down and talk about her experience curating the open call, the trends that she noticed. Pivoting to discuss her life and art practice, including the current exhibition at Soloway gallery featuring her father’s photographs of his patient’s gallbladders, death, art, longing, materials and the archeological record plus Melissa’s upcoming exhibition and thoughts on the art world. But first, Jacob and I review the last two weeks of shows we have seen and gone to and talk about what’s been happening in our lives including Tiananmen Square and Will Chan’s Home Gallery. We then wrap things up with a list of shows to “go see” right now.

Truth! Desire! Lack! 

Today on Field Pod, Directors Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello sit down with curator Michael Howard and artist El Perez in his current exhibition FROM WHAT I REMEMBER, on the night of the first day of our install.  We discuss class-bias at the moment of entry into the art world and the difficulties of attaining professional development from a position of poverty. In a sprawling conversation we cover topics from painting techniques and validity to the art market, shop class as soulcraft, car crashes, rubbernecking, the ways that stereotypes play on unconscious signals, memorials and their secret stories, as well as desire and comedy in art.  We especially discuss the term “lack” and Elbert’s special brand of existential signification. Then we wrap things up with a short list of shows to GO SEE.

Model Homes! White Flight! Protest! + Resistance!

Today, Field Projects Co-Directors Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello discuss their week, covering some podcasts, comedy shows, and their future projects including a summer conference and–– haunted paintings?? Then the FP team presents a roundtable with artist Johannah Herr, her co-author and collaborator Cara Marsh Sheffler and Lynn Maliszewski, the Archives and Collections Manager of the Queens Museum. The roundtable took place within Herr’s solo exhibition I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE, a show featuring her architectural imaginaries. We discuss Johannah’s work and “I Have Seen the Future: Official Guidebook,” a collaborative publication between Cara Marsh Sheffler & Johannah Herr. Lynn Maliszewski brings her work on the history of the World’s Fairs in Flushing Meadows to bear on our discussion of the content of the exhibition during our panel. They talk about the 1939 and 1964 world's fairs that took place in Flushing NY–– a discussion covering our constructed understanding of colonialism, nationalism, racism, misogyny, religious motivations, but also the hope and idealism that shaped the fairs. What pavilion lives in secret in your head? Jacob and Kris wrap things up after the interview with a short list of shows to “go see” right now plus a special Beverly’s opening interview!
