This week on Art on the Air on WRUU – 107.5 FM Savannah we were joined in studio by Axelle Kieffer and Jordan Mooney! They gave us all of the details on their exhibition at Sulfur Studios, “Danse Macabre.”

From the press release:

“The danse macabre, a theme born out of the religious and political forces of Late Middle Ages, echoes across the centuries into our modern era. Death comes for All, with no consideration for station or status.

“We were what you are, and you will be what we are.”

“Today the figure of death as a corpse or skeleton is no longer solely associated with religious works, but its use maintains an extended dialogue with the images that have come before. Each century creates its own danse macabre to exorcise its own fears. This imagery filters through the works of Axelle Kieffer and Jordan Fitch Mooney; using these sources to examine our time, speaking to the artistic dialogue while also grappling with their personal experiences.”

PLUS, we broadcast our Field Notes with Leslie Lovell over at Roots Up Gallery talking all about their New Works Art Show AND our chat with Lizzy Taber, the current On::View Artist in Residence!

Listen Up!

Art on the Air

“Art exists as a causeway between the objective and the subjective; a provocative link between our factual understanding and our fanciful interpretations; a spiritual bridge between life’s day-to-day demands and the sustaining power of ritual and myth.  Art transports us from the comparatively limited domain of our mundane obligations into a never-expanding realm of engaging possibilities – informing, inspiring andelevating us all.” -Jerome Meadows

Art on the Air is pleased to present a special interview with internationally-known multidisciplinary artist Sheb Wooley! From his bio: "Sheb Wooley primarily works in the medium of raw materials from a classical standpoint, bringing lofty aesthetics to earth by engaging urbanistic methodologies. Making a statement of the environment with tools of the world by cultivating transparent mappings. His recent work, in his hometown of Ludowici, Georgia, was titled “Cream for a Day”, an interactive installation where visitors driving through would experience, in textures, smells, and screen projections, becoming a cake. From primary materials, through the baking process, and completing the journey with a light, fluffy icing made with the natural elements from the area. Mr. Wooley’s next project on the horizon is named “Mudder”, set to be in Savannah, Georgia, downtown at Forsyth Park, and will be a humble tribute to the roots of the lowcountry region with a medium of modern days. His creations have appeared in municipalities throughout the world, in remote settings, and have gained critical recognition and acclaim." TUNE IN!
