ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Laura Gildner is an intermedia artist who collaborates with strangers, neighbours, would-be celebrities, friends, performers, and various makeshift communities in the creation of her works.  Her productions reflect on social, historical, and pop cultural phenomena through creative re-imaginings and absurdist commentaries while centralizing the magic of shared experience.  Her most recent project, Lovechild, involved making art with Patrick Swayze's ghost via a biotechnology lab, psychic medium, and dental implants.

The J&J Show E6 - Tell us a secret... w/ Katie Brown, Niamh Dale, and Carla Smith14 Dec 202201:19:11

Today we’re chatting with three of the artists who participated in our first ever digital residency! At the start of October, we began working with seven artists who took part in a six week residency titled Prickly Pear. Over the course of the residency, the artists were invited to respond to the prompt “tell us a secret…” The name of the residency, Prickly Pear, was inspired by the feeling on your skin after you reveal a secret. The act of sharing a secret can be prickly, but sweet. It can be solely prickly, uncomfortable and embarrassing. Or, it can be strictly sweet, filling the spiller with relief.

Each of the seven proposals tackled the prompt in a different way, through different mediums. We were absolutely blown away by the work that was created in such a short time frame, and I am currently working on putting together a publication that is due to be released in the New Year, which will celebrate and showcase these works. You can check out the work on our instagram, @jigglenjuice.

We were fortunate enough to chat with three of those artists, Katie Brown, who crafted and unraveled the secrets behind over 140 matchbooks they found in a thrift store, Carla Smith, who explored the unspoken nature of our comfort foods, and Niamh Dale, who asked herself “where do secrets live within the body?”

The J&J Show E5 - Is Stunt Art Sh*t?14 Sep 202201:56:58

A couple of months ago, a man disguised as an old lady in a wheelchair leapt up and smeared cake on the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. This stunt was plastered all over the news and social media for several days, sparking international discussion.

We chatted about this at the time, and reached the conclusion that, despite the fact it was trending on twitter, we felt that it wasn’t really that controversial. This got us thinking about all the other art stunts from the past and what motivates people to make stunt art.

Art can be calming, connecting and inspiring but it can also be controversial, polarising and enraging. In this episode, we’re going to talk about some of the most famous art stunts throughout modern and contemporary art history, and how we feel about them. Join us in this BUMPER PACK episode for a lot of discussion, as well as live research.

In the first part of the episode, we give a little bit of context and define what stunt art is by noting the criteria of what might make a piece of work, stunt art.

From Duchamp’s 1917 upside down urinal, to Cattelan’s 2019 duct-taped-banana, we thought it would be fun to rank 22 different artworks that we feel meet this criteria.

Our tier rankings are as follows:
Tier A - gag
Tier B - ok i’ll admit it, this is good
Tier C - meh, simply could take or leave
Tier D - surely not
Tier E - get over urself

If you want to follow along with visuals for the ranking of the work, you can find the link to the video we recorded on our YouTube or on our website. It might be easier to follow this way, but we tried our best to ensure that it was also fun to listen to without visuals! This is a new format we’re experimenting with, so if you have any feedback, please let us know!

SO! Let’s find out if stunt art really is shit : ) Hope u enjoy xx

TW: we mention vomit, faeces + animal cruelty in this episode 

Georgia's Notes On... True Stories12 Sep 202200:10:56

in the spirit of our Prickly Pear Digital Residency prompt: ‘Tell us a secret…’ Sophie Calle’s book “True Stories” felt like a good piece to read and write some notes on… which you can find here.
If you’ve never heard of Sophie Calle before I promise you’re in for a treat. Her works are deeply intimate and voyeuristic. This book, one of my favourite birthday gifts I’ve ever received (thank u Shae), is an incredible collection of tiny life vignettes showing us how Calle became who she is.

The J&J Show E4 - If AI is making art, do we still need artists?13 Jul 202200:53:58

A few weeks ago, we saw a TikTok that sparked real debate between us. It was a video made by Jacob Seeger, who just gained access to DALL-E2.

DALL-E 2 isn’t the first AI software with the ability to generate images. Launched in April 2022, this new AI system can create original, realistic images and art from a text description, combining concepts, attributes and styles.

Despite not being around for very long, DALL-E 2 has already caused quite a commotion, leaving people feeling that this new technology will be disruptive to the arts due to its ability to know how to make images that are aesthetically pleasing to the human eye.

In this episode, we give a bit more context into DALL-E 2, discuss some issues that have already arisen, as well as debate our feelings about DALL-E 2 in the context of the art world. Is DALL-E 2 coming for our careers? Is this new technology already flawed by replicating our Western biases? Are our degrees in fine art worthless now? How is DALL-E 2 making its way into mainstream culture? Stay tuned to find out!

We really hope you enjoy this episode!!!

Shae's Notes On... Casa Mondo: Food30 Jun 202200:18:14

Shae was intrigued by Casa Mondo: Food by Martí Guixé; "a fictional essay on what twenty-first century food is and what it represents”, so she bought it. She wanted to know what this guy had to say, having never heard of him before, she wondered whether his perspective would enlighten her to fall back in love with the concept of food art.

The J&J Show E3 - Dirty Dishes Collective08 Jun 202200:44:26

We’re so excited to be welcoming our first guests, Dirty Dishes Collective! The DDC is a brand spanking new collaborative curatorial project, co-founded by Cassia Powell + Dani Neira. It predominantly operates out of the Crummy Gallery; a mobile art space based in Victoria, BC. The DDC cherishes dirty dishes as the physical remnants of gathering + sharing meals. With an emphasis on supporting emerging artists, they embrace food as a form of care and connection which actively resists institutional art dynamics, and works toward alternative, relational ways of being together.


In this episode, we hear the aims and origin story of the DDC, as well as how their first exhibition in the Crummy went! We also discuss the DDCs approach to curation, their opinions on the role of institutional galleries and how they sit alongside them.

Chewing Gum E6 | Cassia Powell09 Jul 202400:13:57

We’re back with our sixth episode of Chewing Gum to talk to our honourary third member of J&J, Cassia Powell, about their first (of many) pets!

THIS EP'S CHEWY TOPICS:

tamagotchis (!!!), their tech, history & genealogy; care practices, character customization as a form of exploring one’s identity, experimenting with morality

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Bio:

Cassia Powell (they/them) is an emerging contemporary artist and curator based in the unceded lands of Lekwungen-speaking peoples, otherwise known as Victoria, BC. Powell is a BFA Visual Arts honours graduate from the University of Victoria. They are the co-founder of the Dirty Dishes Collective; a curatorial project which aims to support emerging artists and cultural practitioners as a site of critical discourse, creative experimentation, and community engagement.

Statement:

Between their personal artistic practice and their curatorial focus, Powell’s work explores comfort + care as a radical act of social resistance. They create surreal, affective visual structures and depictions of quotidian rituals using a combination of soft sculpture and large-scale oil painting. Each one of Powell’s works signifies vast lifeworlds of queer relationality, encrypted sociality, and utopian potentiality.

If you love colourful and vibrant design, you'll love our next ICW... guest: Rosanna Rose!!

Rosanna Rose is a third year textile design student at Glasgow School of Art. Born in the Highlands of Scotland, she finds inspiration from both her hometown, and the urban landscape of Glasgow. These contrasting environments inform her work, which varies from print to surface design. Her juicy colours and forms harmonize to create stunning visuals that are simultaneously bursting with joy and playfulness, while showcasing a delicate balance of spontaneity and elegance.

In Conversation With... Rudra Manani06 Oct 202100:34:24

We are thrilled to introduce our next ICW... guest: Rudra Manani!

Rudra Manani is a contemporary artist residing on the unceded territories of the Lkwungen, Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ nations (Victoria, B.C.). Utilizing themes of identity, voyeurism, and appropriation, Manani works primarily with photography and painting. She is intrigued by the multifaceted nature of the self-care industry—specifically, in its utilization of Hinduism in performative, profit-oriented wellness, and its exploitation of the everyday consumer seeking refuge within the industry.

Chewing Gum E5 | Christian McGinty25 Jun 202400:15:30

TW: mention of suicide in this episode - please take care while listening or skip to the next one!<3 xo J&J

what better way to kick off brat girl summer than with this episode….

For our fifth episode of Chewing Gum we have Christian McGinty! Christian is an artist with a focus on new media, appropriated imagery, collage and installation.

THIS EP'S CHEWY TOPICS:

techno music: its history in queerness, how it became (and still is today) a beacon of joy, expression and freedom in times of crisis, great political unrest and instability.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Christian McGinty (he/they) is a visual artist whose practice encompasses digital media and installation. He constructs dense collages, blending found and newly created media to evoke eerie narratives reflecting his lived experiences. These deeply personal works aim to resonate with viewers by incorporating a diverse array of found media, encouraging them to discover elements of their own experiences within the work.

McGinty's thesis work, Meditation on a Potential Death, examined the trauma surrounding his father's attempted suicide, utilizing media from various sources such as YouTube videos, films, advertisements, and popular music. McGinty's recent research focuses on the queer history of techno, viewing its futuristic and endurance-driven beats as metaphors for urban living. Residing in Vancouver, he is intrigued by the city's stark contrast between futurity and urban/socio-economic decay. His current work integrates 3D programs, AI art, DJ mixes, and video game engines.

McGinty's career includes exhibitions at the Anna Leonowens Gallery, The Polygon Gallery, and with the MSVU Art Gallery. He has received prestigious honors, such as the BC Arts Council Scholarship, being both short and longlisted for the Philip B. Lind Emerging Artist Prize, and the University of Victoria John Locke Malkin scholarship. He has self-published two books, Bounty and Animism, and he has contributed to the arts community through curatorial projects, mentorship, and teaching roles at institutions such as Nocturne Festival, NSCAD University, and the University of Victoria.

Chewing Gum E4 | Isotta Page18 Jun 202400:13:26

It’s time for the fourth episode of Chewing Gum!!

Our next guest is our art podcast bestie Isotta Page! Isotta is an artist working in sculpture and the host of Art Is… a podcast for artists.

THIS EP'S CHEWY TOPICS:

marble: what it means to work with a material that’s millions of years old, viewing it through an ecological perspective, through care and craft, its existence in a contemporary practice, and honouring traditional carving methods.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Italian-American artist Isotta Page, (b. 1996) splits her time between Rome and Valencia. She completed her Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture and Contemporary Art History at the University of Edinburgh's Edinburgh College of Art in 2020.

Passionate about manipulating materials, Isotta draws inspiration from traditional craftsmanship and industrial fabrication. From 2020 to 2022, she worked with recycled materials like styrofoam, resin, and fiberglass, utilizing boat and motorcycle manufacturing techniques for large-scale outdoor and hanging sculptures. In 2023, she shifted from sculpting styrofoam to carving marble, influenced by training with master marble carver in Italy.

In her ongoing series, Dark Optimism: Ghost in the Stone, Isotta explores ecological and geological themes, creating organic studies in marble of the human figure emerging from raw stone. She views her work as intuitive three-dimensional drawings, and she creates unconventional compositions of the human anatomy, juxtaposing carved and un-carved elements and high polish finishes with raw marble. Isotta's interest in marble focuses on its materiality and its unique ability to provoke consciousness about geological time.

Welcome back to our third episode of Chewing Gum!

Our next guest is the lovely Rudra Manani! Rudra is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus on painting.

THIS EP'S CHEWY TOPICS:

her relationship to her name, etymology, experiencing a duality of identities where either can feel like home, making mistakes and the importance of taking the time to learn a person’s name

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Rudra Manani (she/her) is an artist of Indian heritage living and learning on the unceded lands of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples, also known as Victoria B.C. She is an honours graduate with a BFA in Visual Arts from the University of Victoria. Rudra exhibited her first solo exhibition, Tunnel Vision, in 2023.

At the moment, her work is informed by Hindu ideologies of yoga, karma and reincarnation, and the liminality within these principles. Also fascinated by the cultural appropriation of Hinduism in the West, she investigates her biculturalism using themes of tradition, alienation, and spirituality.

Chewing Gum E2 | Jordan Hill04 Jun 202400:14:30

Back again for episode 2 of ‘Chewing Gum’, we have THE Jordan Hill! Jordan is is an interdisciplinary with a focus on new media and installation.


THIS EP'S CHEWY TOPICS:

facade, insincerity in public spaces, digital cultures’ influence on our ability to process the world, acts of slowing down, in-between spaces


ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Jordan Hill is a Coast Salish (T’Sou-ke Nation) multimedia artist from Vancouver Island whose work alludes to the blurred line between fact and fiction within contemporary culture. Hill questions how we navigate a manipulated world where truth is incredibly difficult to locate both physically and virtually. He juxtaposes unexpected ideas and seemingly unrelated locales, uncovering the intersections between urban and rural facades in ways that transform how we think about both. Hill’s work utilizes our relationship with technology and virtual imagery in a way that helps us foster a deeper connection with the world away from it.

Chewing Gum E1 | Laveen Gammie28 May 202400:14:05

Welcome to the first episode of our new series: Chewing Gum!

Creative people are always ruminating on niche things, making unlikely connections or falling down bizarre rabbit holes... In order to crack open the minds of our fellow artists, we wanted to ask just one simple question: "what's a thought you've been chewing on?"

Each episode the perfect length to accompany your morning coffee, your evening commute, or your afternoon hot girl walk.


Up first we have the incredible Laveen Gammie! Laveen is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus on sculpture currently getting her masters from the University of Chicago.


THIS EP'S CHEWY TOPICS:

death & the seductive qualities of death, lore (how it plays out in systems), necro-politics, signifiers of power.


ABOUT THE ARTIST:

I (Laveen Gammie) use sculpture installation, provisional supports, video, and photographic images to consider various notions of value (social, monetary, systemic). I explore how various values are created, upheld, or challenged. I am interested by the relationship between values, violence, world-building, seduction, and power. I am currently based in Chicago, where I am completing my MFA.

The J&J Show E8 - Get It? Get It? A Conversation with Kosar Movahedi & Carly Greene06 Apr 202301:01:50

You’re listening to The Jiggle n Juice Show, episode eight, titled: “Get It? Get It? A Conversation with Kosar Movahedi & Carly Greene”. Today we’ll be discussing the use of humour in a Fine Arts setting, independent curation projects, accessible art experiences and DIY spaces. 

 About Get it? Get it?:

https://www.getitexhibition.com/ 

https://www.instagram.com/getitexhibition/

Opening Fri, April 14th, 6-9 pm

April 15th & 16th, 2-5 pm

Vault Gallery, 780 Blanshard St.


Get it? Get it? is the second iteration of a project exploring jokes and humour as they emerge in artistic practices. The exhibition will feature 6 artists whose work indulges in absurd narratives, head-shaking puns, and knee-slapping one-liners, as a means to facilitate connection through laughter.

Kosar Movahedi

https://www.kosar.ca/

https://www.instagram.com/kmovii/

Kosar Movahedi’s practice explores space; how our bodies take it up, hold it and are shaped by it. Through drawing, sculpture, photography and video, she combines minimalist aesthetics with tongue-in-cheek humour to examine the relationship between us and our social, political, and physical environments. Kosar holds a BSc in Architecture from University of Tehran and is an MFA candidate at the University of Victoria.

Carly Greene

https://www.carlygreene.com

https://www.instagram.com/carlyjogreene/


Carly Greene’s practice is motivated by an interest in materials - their histories, potentials, implication in, and impact on larger systems of value and labour. Working across sculpture and installation, she susses out messy, complex, and absurd ways in which materiality intersects with personal and cultural narratives. Greene is an instructor and the Wood and Metal Shop Technician at the University of Victoria.

The J&J Show E7 - How To Become A Full-Time Artist: Shae's Career Mapping Project07 Feb 202300:37:57

You’re listening to The Jiggle n Juice Show, episode seven, titled: “How To Be A Full-Time Artist: Shae’s Career Mapping Project”. Being an artist is so elusive. The way people become a “successful” artist is even more elusive. This project will map everything Shae does in 2023 to try and make sense of how it happens as she work towards her goal of being a full time artist. You’ll be able to read her applications, see how she organizes her practice, and track her success rate.

We hope that by being able to track Shae's process and look back on what she did throughout 2023, we’ll be able to spot the mistakes and flaws, or the key moments and achievements that got her to where she is! Obviously, everyone’s journey will look different, but we hope at the very least, this project will be interesting, and at best, motivating to you!
