Art from the Outside

• Artist Jessica Rankin

  This episode we are thrilled to be joined by the artist Jessica Rankin. Born in Sydney in 1971, Jessica is known for her vibrant and expansive exploration of the processes of memory, intuition, and interpretation.  For the first part of her career, Jessica produced textile works that adopted methods historically identified with feminine pursuits—embroidery and needlework. She created works featuring 'mental maps' that combined word and image to highlight her ongoing project: a hybrid weaving of personal, fictional and historical voices. In 2016, Jessica turned exclusively to painting, combining gestural abstraction with the sewn mark on raw canvas. These works often take their inspiration from the literature of marginalised voices: of women writers, gay writers or writers of colour. They have included lines of poetry by writers who have inspired Jessica’s work, such as Etel Adnan, Paul Celan, and Carl Phillips. Throughout, Jessica has continued to adopt John Cage’s adage to ‘be unfamiliar to yourself,” creating a rich and compelling practice that spans multiple media. Jessica has been the subject of numerous solo and group exhibitions including the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, UK, and MoMA PS1 here in New York. Last year, she had a solo show at White Cube in Hong Kong. Jessica is represented by White Cube. https://www.whitecube.com/artists/jessica-rankin Some artists and writers discussed in this episode: David Hammons Coco Fusco Martha Rosler Glenn Ligon Virginia Woolf Olivia Laing Julie Mehretu Lawrence Chua Paul Pfeiffer

• Artist Maia Ruth Lee

  This episode we are thrilled to welcome the inspiring artist Maia Ruth Lee.Maia Ruth Lee’s multidisciplinary practice is deeply informed by questions surrounding the self in times of dispersion, mobility, and rootlessness. Using translation as an apparatus, Lee transmutes her works between mediums—photography, video, painting, and sculpture—connecting themes of borders, community, and language with embodiments of carriers, loss, and self-preservation through process and materials.Born in Busan, South Korea, in 1983, Lee grew up in Kathmandu and Seoul, before arriving in New York City in 2011 where she spent over a decade. In 2020 she relocated to Salida, Colorado where she now lives and works.Lee has held solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (CO), Tina Kim Gallery (NY), Francois Ghebaly Gallery (LA), and Jack Hanley Gallery (NY).She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and the 2019 Whitney Biennial. Most recently, she unveiled her newly commissioned work, The Conveyor (2024), at Prospect 6 in New Orleans.Some artists discussed in this episode:Jeffrey GibsonCarmen Winant

• Artist Nadya Tolokonnikova

  This episode we are thrilled to be talking with the incredible artist Nadya Tolokonnikova. Nadya is the creator of Pussy Riot, a global feminist art movement. In 2012 she was sentenced to 2 years' imprisonment following an anti-Putin performance Punk Prayer. Punk Prayer was named by The Guardian among the ‘best art pieces of the 21st century’. Tolokonnikova's Putin’s Ashes art installation at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in January 2023 propelled her into a new criminal case and put on Russia’s most wanted criminal list. On June 21st, 2024 her debut museum exhibition RAGE, opened at OK Linz, Linz, Austria, and shortly after she performed the piece at the Neue Nationalgalerie on July 4.  Tolokonnikova's work is held in the permanent collections of The Brooklyn Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, Museum of Art and Design, and American Folk Art Museum, among others.

• Artist Alexandre da Cunha

  This episode we are thrilled to be talking with the Brazilian born artist Alexandre da Cunha.  Based between London and Sao Paulo, Ale has referred to his practice as ‘pointing’ as opposed to ‘making’. By ‘pointing’ at existing objects in plain sight, he highlights new and unexpected meanings within the objects he chooses.  Grounded in material aesthetics, Ale creates monumentally scaled sculptures and playfully constructed wall-mounted work using metamorphosed everyday and found objects. Given their renewed possibility and playing with the visual language of art historical movements such as Arte Povera and Tropicália, Ale’s sculptures inspire lush potential, elevating our everyday encounters with ordinary materials to sociocultural events.   Ale’s work has been widely exhibited around the world. He’s had solo exhibitions at the Brighton CCA, the Royal Society of Sculptors in London, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and the Centro Cultural São Paulo, Brazil - among many others.  Ale’s work is included in major private and institutional collections including the ICA Boston, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the Tate, and the Museu de Arte de São Paulo, Brazil, just to name a few. Ale is represented by Thomas Dane Gallery, Galerie Luisa Strina, and James Cohan Gallery.
