Unknown
Delve into the overlooked and underappreciated artistic genre of text-based art. For centuries people have been using words in creative visual ways, but usually their work is either slotted into other genres or pushed aside completely, despite some of the biggest names in art fitting into this category. During each show we’ll sit down for a talk with an artist who uses words as a major focus in their practice for an in-depth look at where is their work is taking them next, what are the ways that using text helps them get their message across, and what was it that drew them to this style in the first place.

Corita Kent (with Nellie Scott)

Season 1 · Episode 6

dimanche 17 novembre 2024 • Duration 41:50

Corita Kent, or Sister Mary Corita as she was known in her days as a nun, was an educator, activist, and widely-acclaimed artist, creating some of the most influential pop art serigraphs of the 1960s. Her career continued into the 1980s, and the steward of her art and legacy is the Corita Art Center in Los Angeles, led by Executive Director Nellie Scott. In this episode I sit down and talk with Ms. Scott about Corita's life, the history and legacy of her art, and what big things are in store for the center in the very near future. https://www.corita.org/

Dear Anushka

Season 1 · Episode 7

mardi 26 novembre 2024 • Duration 38:22

In the street art hub of Lisbon, one artist isn't aiming her spray paint can at buildings. Dear Anushka chooses instead to tag her particular brand of witty sayings, romantic longings, and universally relatable missives onto a much different canvas: discarded mattresses left on the streets. We discuss how these temporary queen-sized galleries provide a voice for the voiceless while performing an unexpected public service. Instagram: @dear.anushka website: dearanuska.com

Richard Ankrom

Season 1 · Episode 8

lundi 16 décembre 2024 • Duration 43:11

Though best know for his 2001 piece Guerrilla Public Service, which consisted of taking it upon himself to correct an oversight on downtown Los Angeles freeway signage, Richard Ankrom has had an extremely varied and interesting artistic career and creative journey. I sat down with him to discuss sign making and his various forays into fine art. And, of course, we discuss Guerrilla Public Service, as well as other projects lurking in the shadows that he has yet to divulge. https://ankrom.org/ https://youtu.be/Clgl63CWOkM?si=LZkToV0CBt-fdS0n Photo: Gary Leonard

Joseph O'Neal

Season 1 · Episode 9

mardi 7 janvier 2025 • Duration 29:21

In the non-objective paintings of Joseph O'Neal, one constant holds true: dualities. Eye-popping colors combine with stark black and white. Ambiguous shapes play off of thought-provoking text that seems to drift in on a stray radio frequency. Even his recurring series of paintings of Jackie Onassis contain hidden dualities, which we get into, as well as Joseph's journey as an artist, in our discussion from his studio in Easton, PA.
