wps1.org - art radio — Wed, 21 May 2008 00:09:00 -0400

New York-based Chinese artist and photographer O Zhang discusses her early life in China and her subsequent travels and artistic journey. From formal state-sponsored art training in the PROC to academies in Europe and galleries in the USA this is an extraordinary story and remarkable body of work. The talk took place at Ch’i Contemporary Fine Art in Brooklyn on March 23, 2008, as part of the exhibition Out of the Spotlight: Contemporary Chinese Art (March 13 – April 7, 2008) which includes artists Ma Leonn, Liang Quan, Yu Xing Ze, Liu Liyun, Zhang Ping, and Yang Yan and is curated by Liu Jian.

The China Pavilion

wps1.org - art radio — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 15:33:00 -0400

Alanna Heiss hosts a spirited and fascinating bilingual discussion with artists and officials from the China Pavilion, which was organized and sponsored by the Chinese government. From artist/curator Cai Guo-Qiang’s statement: There is a 110-year gap between the induction of the China pavilion and the establishment of the first national pavilion in the Venice Biennale 2005. Hence, this selection of artists is essentially an investigation into the nature of national pavilions and, in the context of a multinational arena, how to represent the inaugural China pavilion in 2005 or any national pavilion in the 21st century. Featuring discussions with Ho Chang, Fan Di’an, Cai Guo-Qiang, Jennifer Ma, Liu Wei, Yung Peng Yu, Sun Yuan, and Xu Zhen.

Banks Violette

The young, gifted, and (some say) goth artist Banks Violette speaks with host Michael Rush about murder, Black Metal music and the Columbia MFA program. You may be surprised how articulate, self -effacing and in control of his sculptural practice this non-shrinking violet is.

Not for Sale: Artist's View

wps1.org - art radio — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 00:41:00 -0400

Performance art of the 70s was provocative and radical. Since then it has become recognized as a fundable, collectible commodity. How does the insertion of the museum into the equation affect the creation, experience and preservation of performance? Art historian and critic RoseLee Goldberg moderates a panel of artist Marina Abramovic, Cuban-born artist Tania Bruguera, philosopher, critic and curator Klaus Ottman, and curator Debra Singer, now Executive Director of The Kitchen. Among many highlights, Ottmann’s extraordinary account of the life, death and work of James Lee Byars.
