Kara Walker: "A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby" | "Exclusive" | Art21

Duration: 9:38
Updated: 23 May 2014

Episode #204: This episode provides an in-depth look at the creation of Kara Walker's monumental public project, "A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby" (2014), at the Domino Sugar Factory in Brooklyn, NY. Seated in her Manhattan studio, Walker explains how the molasses-covered space, along with her extensive research into the history of sugar, inspired her to create a colossal sugar-coated sphinx, as well as a series of life-sized, sugar and resin boy figurines. A team of artists and fabricators are shown constructing and coating the sphinx, which, as Walker says, gains its power by "upsetting expectations, one after the other." Commissioned by Creative Time, "A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby" is the first large-scale public project by Walker who is best known for her cut paper silhouette installations, drawings, and watercolors. "A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby" is on view until July 6, 2014. Thereafter, the factory will be demolished to make way for condominiums. Kara Walker explores the raw intersection of race, gender, and sexuality in her work, crafting vivid psychological narratives from a contemporary perspective on historical conditions. Over the past two decades, Walker has unleashed the traditionally Victorian medium of the silhouette onto the walls of the gallery, creating immersive installations that envelop the viewer. Walker's multi-media work—which includes drawing, watercolor, video, and sculpture—often reconsider grotesque caricatures, probing their persistence in popular culture and reclaiming their subjugating power to alternative ends.

assume vivid astro focus: Learning to Paint | ART21 "Exclusive"

Duration: 6:47
Updated: 27 Jun 2014

Episode #206: This episode of ART21 "Exclusive" provides an in-depth look at the painting process of Eli Sudbrack, a principal member of the artist collective assume vivid astro focus. Painting on canvas for the first time in his career, Sudbrack and his assistants work with Krink K-60 paints (commonly used by graffiti taggers), though the fast-drying medium poses a challenge when it is applied to canvas. Sudbrack has devised a solution: he paints on layered transparency sheets and replicates the final image on stretched canvas. This two-part process allows him to experiment with different colors, shapes, and patterns—many of which reference the works of other artists such as Marcel Duchamp. Sudbrack's painting "Cyclops Bride" (2014) is shown throughout its evolution in his studio, and as a finished painting at The Suzanne Geiss Company in New York, NY. The artist collective assume vivid astro focus (avaf) fuses drawing, sculpture, painting, video, and performance into carnavalesque installations in which gender, politics, and cultural codes float freely. A study in visual adaptation and modification, avaf's work recycles and transforms imagery from one project to the next—often in the form of densely patterned wallpapers and graphic signage. Personal expression and a lust for life feature prominently in projects simultaneously rooted in the politics of free speech, civil rights, and the dissolution of rigid classifications of identity.

Preview: Elliott Hundley in Season 7 of ART21 "Art in the Twenty-First Century" (2014)

Duration: 1:07
Updated: 30 Jul 2014

In this preview from the ART21 "Art in the Twenty-First Century" Season 7 episode, "Secrets," artist Elliott Hundley discusses the role of recycled materials in his work. Shown in his Los Angeles studio in early 2014, the artist describes a "trust" in the process of selecting paper cut-outs for use in his paintings. "In relinquishing some control, it allows me some distance," says the artist. "I start to feel like the artwork is responding to me, giving me something back or becoming something that I never expected." Elliott Hundley draws inspiration for his paintings from diverse sources, but especially from his Southern heritage, steeped in family history. With images anchored by thousands of pins to bulletin-board-like surfaces, his shallow reliefs form a palimpsest that teems with humble materials such as cut-up magazines, string, plastic, gold leaf, and other ephemera.

Xu Zhen & Armory Focus: China | Art21

Duration: 5:33
Updated: 06 Mar 2014

Filmed for the occasion of "Armory Focus: China" at The Armory Show 2014 in New York City, curator Philip Tinari reflects on the work of Chinese artist Xu Zhen—the commissioned artist for the 2014 edition of The Armory Show. Tinari, director of The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing and curator of "Armory Focus: China", identifies Xu as an artist at the forefront of a generation that addresses Chinese identity as part of a larger global conversation. Tinari notes a humor found in the artist's work, as seen in the artist's "Under Heaven" (2013) series of paintings—as well as an element of discomfort, as seen in his video work, "Shouting" (1998). In his curation of "Armory Focus: China", Tinari blended a mix of artists from China's "On|Off generation"—a term coined by Tinari to describe a newer generation of Chinese artists—with Chinese artists from older generations, in an attempt to "shed light on the diversity of artistic practice in China right now." Philip Tinari began a partnership with Art21 in 2009, interviewing artist Cao Fei in Beijing for Season 5 (2009) of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series. Tinari would again partner with Art21 to interview artist Ai Weiwei in Beijing for Season 6 (2012). "Armory Focus" is a specially curated section of The Armory Show that highlights the artistic landscape of a chosen geographic region. For The Armory Show 2014, Philip Tinari curated "Armory Focus: China", shining new light on the country's contemporary cultural practice. CREDITS | Producer: Eve Moros Ortega.

Gabriel Orozco: "Mirror Crit" | "Exclusive" | Art21

Duration: 5:06
Updated: 04 Apr 2014

Episode #201: Artist Gabriel Orozco conducts what he calls a "Mirror Crit," during which he presents a student's artwork as if it is his own. Orozco conceived of the Mirror Crit after doing one-on-one critiques with college art students, where they typically explain or defend their work. Orozco sought an alternative to help students better understand what their images communicate. He discusses each photograph without having previous knowledge of the student's background or intentions, allowing the images to, in a sense, speak for themselves. The Mirror Crit session in this film features the work of Maximiliano Siñani, and took place as part of Gabriel Orozco's "Spanish Lessons" project at Marian Goodman Gallery (New York) in late 2013. Gabriel Orozco uses the urban landscape and everyday objects to twist conventional notions of reality. He considers philosophical problems, such as the concept of infinity, and evokes them in humble moments. Matching his passion for political engagement with poetry, Orozco's works propose a distinctive model for the ways in which artists can affect the world with their work.

Bryan Zanisnik Keeps It in the Family | ART21 "New York Close Up"

Duration: 8:38
Updated: 20 Jun 2014

How does an artist figure out what's truly essential? Performing "A Woman Waits For Me II" (2014) with his parents at Pace University in Lower Manhattan, artist Bryan Zanisnik discusses how he draws on his family and personal history in his artwork. In this film, Zanisnik returns to his parents' home in Springfield, New Jersey to dig up the long-forgotten home movies he made as an adolescent. Inspired by Hollywood film directors like Martin Scorsese, the VHS movies are an unironic mix of slapstick comedy and gangster violence, with Zanisnik's grandmother often playing an armed and dangerous protagonist. Uncovering the videos in graduate school was a eureka moment for Zanisnik. "I thought, 'This is who I really am.' These interests in the abject, the absurd, the humor, the gender inversions, the fragility," he explains, "the conversations between the performer and me behind the camera was really getting to the core of what I wanted out of an artwork." Frequently incorporating his parents in his work, Zanisnik creates performances in which power dynamics—such as struggles for control between parent and child—play out in surreal scenarios. As part of the exhibition "Oblique Strategies" at Pace University's Peter Fingesten Gallery, Zanisnik performs inside a wooden museum display case transformed into a mobile sculpture, as his parents and the audience look on. Tightly confined inside the sculpture and straining to move through the building's hallways, Zanisnik intentionally knocks into onlookers, challenging them to respond. For Zanisnik, the performance "A Woman Waits For Me II" (2014) evokes his own emotional journey from a reclusive adolescent to the artist he is today. Also featuring the artworks "Meadowlands Picaresque" (2013); "Dissociative Pastry and Stone" (2011); "Repetition Compulsion" (2010); "Ten-Thousand Meals Than Ever Yet" (2009); "When I Was a Child I Caught a Fleeting Glimpse" (2009); "He Is Not a Man" (2007); "Next of Kin" (2007); "Family Reunion" (2006); and "Remembrance of Things Past" (2006). Bryan Zanisnik (b. 1979, Union, New Jersey, USA) lives and works in Queens, New York.

Kara Walker: Starting Out | ART21 "Exclusive"

Duration: 4:32
Updated: 25 Jul 2014

Episode #207: In this episode of ART21 "Exclusive," Kara Walker reflects on her early success and offers advice to the next generation of artists. Walker received widespread attention after being included in a group exhibition at The Drawing Center in New York City in 1994, not long after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island. Walker remained in Providence until she “felt ready” to make the move to New York. However, “When I came to the City,” she says, “I felt like my newly forming ego and sense of self was just torn to shreds.” Now a professor in Columbia University’s MFA program, Walker sees the many challenges that young artists face today and encourages them to take responsibility for changing negative conditions in the art world. Walker is shown in New York City installing cut paper silhouettes and framed paintings at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. in 2013 and visiting the gallery’s booth at the 2014 Frieze Art Fair, where she is accompanied by her mother. Kara Walker explores the raw intersection of race, gender, and sexuality in her work, crafting vivid psychological narratives from a contemporary perspective on historical conditions. Over the past two decades, Walker has unleashed the traditionally Victorian medium of the silhouette onto the walls of the gallery, creating immersive installations that envelop the viewer. Walker's multi-media work—which includes drawing, watercolor, video, and sculpture—often reconsider grotesque caricatures, probing their persistence in popular culture and reclaiming their subjugating power to alternative ends.

Ursula von Rydingsvard: "Ona" | "Exclusive" | Art21

Duration: 6:14
Updated: 29 Nov 2013

Filmed in August 2013, Ursula von Rydingsvard discusses her large-scale sculpture "Ona" (2013), which is permanently installed outside of Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Originally made with cut cedar beams, the sculpture was cast in bronze at the Polich Tallix Fine Art Foundry, where von Rydingsvard is shown applying a patina to its undulating surface. By installing the work in a public space without security guards or barricades, von Rydingsvard is encouraging visitors to touch the work, to "see with one's hands." Ursula von Rydingsvard builds towering cedar structures, creating an intricate network of individual beams and sensuous, puzzle-like surfaces. While abstract at its core, von Rydingsvard's work takes visual cues from the landscape, the human body, and utilitarian objects—such as the artist's collection of household vessels—and demonstrates an interest in the point where the man-made meets nature.

Tim Hawkinson: Family Resemblance | "Exclusive" | Art21

Duration: 5:39
Updated: 10 Jan 2014

Episode #196: Filmed in 2013, Tim Hawkinson gives a tour of his sculpture exhibition at Pace Gallery in New York City. He provides insight into each artwork and discusses the variety of materials he used, such as resin and bronze casts of his body, pieces of his daughter's old bicycle, and pine cones and palm fronds from his garden. Hawkinson made some of the works over time with his daughter Clare, a Girl Scout Brownie. "She has kind of given me ideas," he says. Hawkinson named each sculpture in the exhibition after a different Girl Scout cookie, alluding to Clare's involvement in his creative process. Tim Hawkinson is known for creating complex sculptural systems through surprisingly simple means. Inspiration for many of Hawkinson's pieces has been the re-imagining of his own body and what it means to make a self-portrait of this new or fictionalized body. Sculptures are often re-purposed out of materials, which the artist then mechanizes through hand-crafted electrical circuitry.

Marela Zacarías Goes Big & Goes Home | ART21 "New York Close Up"

Duration: 8:59
Updated: 18 Jul 2014

What does an artist bring to a homecoming? Working in her Bedford--Stuyvesant studio, artist Marela Zacarías undertakes "Red Meander" (2014), a commission by the Art in Embassies program for the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey, Mexico. Zacarías enlists the help of a team of eight assistants to create the fifty-eight foot long by eleven foot tall work—her largest painted sculpture to date—over the course of nine months. Comprising twenty handmade sections that fit together like a puzzle, each component is made of sanded joint compound over window screen affixed to wood supports. The undulating surface of "Red Meander" is emblazoned in intricate patterns of sixty-seven acrylic colors inspired by Mayan patterns, specifically textiles from Chiapas and Oaxaca. "Hidden in plain sight in the clothing and decorations, these symbols survived colonization and modern times," says Zacarías, "Weaving became a form of cultural resistance that was passed down from mothers to daughters for centuries." Growing up in Mexico City, the artist also recalls visiting Diego Rivera's murals (1929--30, 1935) in the National Palace. Having spent a decade painting over thirty murals ranging in size from ten to over a hundred feet long, with this project Zacarías realizes a major achievement: exhibiting her work back home in Mexico, for the first time, and as a permanent installation in an historic building. Recognizing both the problems and promise of the U.S. immigration system, Zacarías suggests that "for me to do this piece, it was like really meeting myself kind of in the middle of it. I want to connect to the people that are going through this transition." Featured in this film is additional artwork by Diego Rivera and music by Los Amparito & Los Músicos de José. Marela Zacarías (b. 1978, Mexico City, Mexico) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

assume vivid astro focus: Spontaneity & Concentration | ART21 "Exclusive"

Updated: 04 Jun 2014

Episode #205: In this episode, artists Eli Sudbrack and Christophe Hamaide-Pierson, the principal members of the collective assume vivid astro focus, discuss their first paintings on canvas. In this new body of work they continue to reference the transgender figure—a symbol for the idea that "somebody can transform their body at their will," which as Sudbrack says, "is an act of freedom." Best known for creating dense and colorful installations that incorporate sculpture, wallpaper, music, and performance, Sudbrack and Hamaide-Pierson typically invite artists and friends to collaborate with them, but decided not to for this project. Sudbrack explains why, saying that painting creates an opportunity for spontaneity and concentration, without the distraction of production concerns that accompany their large-scale installations. The collective assume vivid astro focus fuses drawing, sculpture, painting, video, and performance into carnavalesque installations in which gender, politics, and cultural codes float freely.

Top Moffatts, You Are What You Do

Coulda been my grandpa, coulda been my preacher
Coulda been my third grade history teacher
Somebody said it and I'll never forget it
Mighta been my daddy, mighta been my mama
Mighta been Dolly Parton or the Dalai Lama
They were words to the wise
And they hit me right between the eyes
If you wanna write a song, better get a guitar
If you wanna win Daytona, better get you a car
If you wanna be Picasso, better get you some paint
Son, you are what you do
And if you don't, then you ain't
Coulda been a stranger, coulda been a friend
Coulda been a commentator on CNN
Talkin' through my TV directly to me
Mighta been my butcher, mighta been my baker
Mighta been an outta work undertaker down at the Superette
Who gave me this reality check
If you wanna go to heaven, you better go to church
If you wanna promotion, you better get to work
If you wanna catch the big one, better get you some bait
Yeah, you are what you do
And if you don't then you ain't
If you want an education, you better stay in school
Get some sunglasses if you wanna be cool
Talk to Mother Teresa if you wanna be a saint
Yeah, you are what you do
And if you don't, then you ain't
Yeah, you are what you do

Top Waka Flocka Flame, Where It At

I don't care about no he say, she say
Chase this money, love dinero like my fucking dj
Kick his door off the henges, lay it down
Heard you got that work, in this house, lay it down
Nobody move, everybody on the ground
And if a nigga act crazy, brains on the ground, motherfucker
Nigga, where the cash at, where the cash at
Nigga, where the cash at, I need all of that
Nigga, where the cash at, where the cash at
Nigga, where the cash at, I need all of that
How the fuck a soldier broke with a loaded pistol
Hope them goonies get you when them hollows hit you
The a squads they miss I bet my youngings hit you
I'm from playing county, bitch I want the issue
Fuck the police, fuck the police
I say it 2 times, all I know is grind
Bitch I gotta shine, crime pays
You couldn't walk a half of mile in these cool plays
Dark ray ban shades, I'm like fuck a hater
Hit a lick, hit a lick, stack this fucking paper
Amfens stay right by me, I call it my neighbor
Playin county, waka flame I'm the fucking man
Kick his door off the henges, lay it down
Heard you got that work, in this house, lay it down
Nobody move, everybody on the ground
And if a nigga act crazy, brains on the ground, motherfucker
Nigga, where the cash at, where the cash at
Nigga, where the cash at, I need all of that
Nigga, where the cash at, where the cash at
Nigga, where the cash at, I need all of that
Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, bitch I'm bustin at em
Out lace I'm bustin at em, no talking, send them youngins at em
Only got one so we in his house
Niggas know I got a pistol in his mouth
Fuck nigga where the work at
You a lame nigga, don't deserve that
Don't cooperate, that's a dirt nap
Whole house I'm a sorry stack
Fuck, where the pounds and the t shirts at
This one man I did it for the track
Man the male lookin back, talk around the bullseye nigga get crack
What if a d bow act, maybay, keep a [?]
I'm thinking it, with a bitch I feel like diego
Fat boy swag like my nigga new
Gully boy for life call me rulee
You know my crew go hard, this [?] we gonn rep.
Kick his door off the henges, lay it down
Heard you got that work, in this house, lay it down
Nobody move, everybody on the ground

Top Keller Williams, You Are What You Eat

Some may say
You are what you eat
If that is true
Then I am you
And you could be me
If you wanted to
But I am not a cannibal
*I am not unloveable
I am not unthinkable
But I'll have you sunny side up
With dressing on the side
With extra cheese
Hold the tomatoes
Baked not fried
Or medium well
If you can take the heat
For that long
Or a la mode
So good, it can't be wrong*
How do I taste thee
Let me count the ways
I compare you to a creme broulee
Taste or not to taste that is the question
Before I do
May I make a suggestion
That I am not a cannibal
*chorus*
(this part is kinda hard to understand)
You put the cream and the sugar in the cup
Before the coffee then you don't have to stir it up (4xs)
Cha cha chicken
Come on little chicken
Cha cha chicken come on (4xs)
Your lips is like a magnet
My lips is like a metal
I'm gonna put my metal to your magnet (4xs)
Some may say
You are what you eat
If that is true
Then I am you
And you could be me
If you wanted to
But I am not a cannibal

Top Boac, You Are What You Eat

[Aaaahhhhh]
It's time for dinner
It's time for dinner
It's getting cold
I heard you are what you eat
It's true that i must be an emcee
If i didn't eat at all well then you'd call me empty
If i ingested only brocolli i would be a vegetable
And if i chomped computer chips, then i would be quite technical
So if i swallowed dinosaurs, i would be jurassic
Plus if i dined on criminal minds then i could be a classic
Consuming homeless people i'd assume i'd be broke
Now, digesting rocks of coke, i suppose i'd be dope
If i ate a scorching torch then my name would start with 'f'
If i devoured bullet rounds then my name would be death
If i tasted Rainman's brain, i'd be super-smart
And if i ate an on-point flow, well i'd be sharp like human darts
You are what you eat!
If i ate piano keys, then i could be real musical
And if i ate up Nikki Taylor's head then i'd be beautiful
If i gulped the big blue ocean i would be aquatic
And if i gnawed Madonna's body, i could be erotic
If i snacked on world map, i guess your boy would be global
And if i munched a nuclear lunch, then i would be Chernobyl
If i did ten prison inmates, i would be in trouble
And if i chugged down dairy products only i'd be butter-fuck-o
If i clubbed on rubber plants, i might become a coper
If i drank nothing on Friday night then i would be sober
So please let it be, i ate the 60's, i'm John Lennon
And because i ate the last page of the novel i'm the ending

Top Joey Badass, Where It At

[Intro]
[Verse 1: Joey BADA$$]
Let's get down tonight
I think I might blow a whole pound tonight
So shorty hit me with the spot and if it sound alright
Then you know I'm in the house
Let a nigga run his mouth
It's going down on sight
I'm always down to fight
and if a nigga in the wild no bluff
Ain't no chuch when you're living in the wild
I was hidden in the crowd
Rippin' on some loud
'Till I seen the sucka nigga dick-lickin' on my style
Wow must've been the material linen
Whole night kept him in my peripheral vision
All I gotta say is the word and imperials get him
Word to my pops I know niggas known for cereal killin'
But back to the women
They tryna catch me slippin'
So I gotta pack a mags to stop venereal venoms
From entering my system
If it ain't my moms or my 'sistant
I cut 'em in the system
[Hook: Joey BADA$$]
So tell me where it's at and I'm in the spot (so what you wanna do)
I said so tell me where it's at and I'm in the spot (we got a lot to come true)
I said so tell me where it's at and I'm in the spot (so what you wanna do)
So tell me where it's at and I'm in the spot (we got a lot to come true)
I said so tell me where it's at and I'm in the spot (so what you wanna do)
Tell me where it's at and I'm in that spot (we got a lot to come true)
Let me know x4
[Verse 2: Joey BADA$$]
Yo let me tell you what I'm living like
Same shit just a different night
Super bad chicks and they all up in my kryptonite
'Bout to get down
I'm tryna get up in the tight
So roll the endo right
And I can show you what them bitches like
They just wanna come and have fun
Told this little hun' she could come
But don't touch my funds
I might get crazy
I might bust a gun
So just give me some money
And I might bust her son
Might bust and run
They said love will come knockin' at my door
Well I guess lust must've wrung
The dutch touch the lungs and it was on
Had her beggin' for the dawn 'till the crack of dawn
Then I passed it off to Quan
I said it gotta be the swank if it ain't the rank
Cause some pull hoes like?
Hold up
Let me pull ove'
Told her to hop in then put it back and drove
And hit it out park like Al Pujols
[Hook: Joey BADA$$ & Kirk Knight]
[Verse 4: Kirk Knight]
She's so enticing
Derogatory thoughts when I'm sighting
Slangs to get her wet
And I heard you're overflowing I could test the waters like sea man
And I heard you like sea man (semen)
Well let me slide through I know you're feelin' the kid
Cause these nonchalant lines is lettin' me in
Cause on contrast
I could see us lovebirds it's in plain sight
And am I right cause I heard you like the international lovin'
On a higher scale
When I mean scale I do it well
Let me go deeper feel like I'm doing it well
Word on the street you acting like a bastard
Can I be you daddy?
You can hop up in my caddy
And I heard you got the fatty
Yeah cellurite
Just remember it's amazing how I come up on the track
So duck and weave
And please believe
My side effect is shakin' knees
Damn here I go again with the suggestive themes
