play

11/07/18 • 66 min

In this episode of the podcast, I talk with artist, curator, and cultural organizer Nancy Hom. For decades, Nancy has served as an anchor and mentor in the Asian American artistic community, creating platforms to support artists, bring together people, and advance social justice work. From her early artistic and activist work in New York as a co-founder of the Asian American Media Collective and as part of Asian Women United, to her work with San Francisco’s Kearny Street Workshop, Nancy has dedicated her life to building institutional resources for the Asian American community and movements. We talk about her recent installations that take the form of collectively shaped, ephemeral mandala sculptures and the ways that practice reflects the worldview and spirituality that she built through decades of work in Asian American arts movements. Nancy Hom is an artist, writer, and cultural organizer. Based in San Francisco, she has served as an Executive Director for Kearny Street Workshop and was co-founder of the Asian American Media Collective in New York City. Nancy received her BFA in Illustration and Visual Communication from Pratt Institute. She is an internationally exhibited artist and has worked with many Bay Area community arts groups, including Galeria de la Raza and Japan Art and Media Workshop. Her archive and papers are collected in the California Ethnic and Multicultural Archives at the University of California, Santa Barbara. -- Subscribe to Art Practical on iTunes to catch (un)making as soon as it publishes, or look for it here every other Wednesday! #APaudio.

play

03/21/18 • 29 min

This month’s episode is all about sports...kind of. In the spirit of March Madness, Elena and Jay tackle the relationship between art and sports culture. Using ambivalence about the upcoming relocation of the Golden State Warriors franchise as a jumping off point, our hosts discuss contemporary artists like Pamela Council, Mark Bradford, and Hank Willis Thomas who use sports as a lens for considering race, gender, nationality, and politics. **Special shoutout to the arts podcast Bad at Sports who inspired this month’s episode title.

Art Practical Audio - (un)making | Ep. 40: Maya Stovall
play

05/01/19 • 32 min

We close out the third season of the podcast with a conversation with Maya Stovall, a conceptual artist and anthropologist whose work deploys choreography, long term site research, experimental ethnography, and moving and still images to unpack the complexities of community survival, institutional disinvestment, and urban planning. Her layered approach comes through in the multimodal ways she speaks about her work, shifting between dense theory as almost poetic language, to a direct revelation of the pain and frustration in seeing how her family’s neighborhood has been rendered as a food desert with only liquor stores to serve them. Stovall is perhaps best known for her ongoing project, Liquor Store Theatre, an ongoing and long term exploration of her Detroit community. In video documentation of her artistic and anthropological dialogues with residents, we see her both performing in front of the city’s ubiquitous liquor stores and interviewing patrons and passersby, a juxtaposition of footage that manages to be revelatory while still withholding some things only for the people in the city who happen to be there to witness the live events. In her process, Stovall simultaneously interrogates ethnographic traditions and the expectations of artists in public practice. In our conversation, we talk about the roots of her practice, vulnerability, and resisting having her work being pinned down to any one reading of it. Stovall’s Under New Ownership, a solo exhibition jointly presented by Fort Mason Center for the Arts and the San Francisco Art Institute, is on view through May 5, 2019. She will be enacting Theorem, no.1 a public performance winding through the streets of San Francisco on May 3rd. Click here for more information. Maya Stovall is a conceptual artist and an anthropologist, and she has exhibited in the 2017 Whitney Biennial and the Studio Museum in Harlem’s 2017–18 F-Series. Her book, Liquor Store Theatre, arrives from Duke University Press in spring 2020. Her second book on the imprint, Writing Through Walls, co-authored with her brother Josef Cadwell, is forthcoming. She has published peer-reviewed academic articles on her anthropological field research and her contemporary art practices in Transforming Anthropology and Journal of the Anthropology of North America, as well as in publications including Detroit Research Journal and The American Anthropological Association’s (AAA) Anthropology News. She lives and works in Detroit where she grew up, as well as in Los Angeles County, where she is an assistant professor at California State Polytechnic University (Cal Poly), Pomona. ________ Subscribe to Art Practical on iTunes to catch (un)making as soon as it publishes, or look for it here every other Wednesday! #APaudio Check us out on Instagram: @un_making

Art Practical Audio - (un)making | Ep. 29: Imani Jacqueline Brown
play

04/24/18 • 39 min

episode 29: In this episode, I talk with New Orleans-based artist, writer, and cultural organizer Imani Jacqueline Brown. Imani manifests her work in many forms: as a core member of Occupy Museums, co-founder of Blights Out in New Orleans, Director of Programs with Antenna, co-producer of Fossil Free Fest, and as a board member of the Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative, a community land trust that built New Orleans's first permanently affordable housing. Throughout her work she consistently interrogates the underlying mechanisms of exploitation and inequity in capitalism while organizing intentional communities of resistance and mutual aid. In our conversation, Imani explains the themes that link her many projects. She also challenges our communities to revoke the fossil fuel industry’s social license to operate and resist extractive industries, whether real estate speculation or oil. We also discuss her ambivalence toward identifying as an artist and whether that identification is useful in the work that she does.
