| The J&J Show E6 - Tell us a secret... w/ Katie Brown, Niamh Dale, and Carla Smith | 14 Dec 2022 | 01:19:11 | |
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 E4 - If AI is making art, do we still need artists? | 13 Jul 2022 | 00:53:58 | |
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!!! Stuff n sources we mentioned...

| Chewing Gum E6 | Cassia Powell | 09 Jul 2024 | 00:13:57 | |
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.

He constructs dense collages, blending found and newly created media to evoke eerie narratives reflecting his lived experiences.

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.

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.

| The J&J Show E8 - Get It? Get It? A Conversation with Kosar Movahedi & Carly Greene | 06 Apr 2023 | 01:01:50 | |
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.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.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. xoxox love from the: Jiggle n Juice Collective follow us on insta: @jigglenjuice check out loads of other cool projects on our website: jigglenjuicecollective.com chat w us over email: jigglenjuice@gmail.com support us on patreon!! patreon.com/jigglenjuice Thank you so much for listening!!

| The J&J Show E7 - How To Become A Full-Time Artist: Shae's Career Mapping Project | 07 Feb 2023 | 00:37:57 | |
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! learn more about the project here xoxox love from the: Jiggle n Juice Collective follow us on insta: @jigglenjuice Thank you so much for listening!!
