Joan of Art Radio Free Rhinecliff

How do you give voice to your late mother, how do you turn your grandmother’s secret words into music?
Music is the universal language , our first art.
In a vivid conversation that mirrors the creative process, Claire Chase and Winsome Brown bring the listener into the work they are performing November 3 and 4– next Friday and next Saturday - at Chatham’s PS21. It’s called FROM BEING WHERE YOU WERE and is composed of Claire’s ‘INTENSITY 20.15:GRACE CHASE “ and Winsome’s THIS IS MARY BROWN. Into the mix: the discovery that everything is circular, and notes from the music of the great experimental composer Pauline Oliveros.

The great garden designer Edwina von Gal shares some of her exceptional insights about what happens in the earth, and on the earth.
She's a force of nature who grew up in the Hudson Valley. She applies what the plants themselves have told her over her forty years of creating inspired and beautiful gardens for artists, titans of industry, kings and queens of fashion. It was while working to restore the Panamanian rain forest, that she knew she had to set up the Perfect Earth project.
Her exceptional knowledge of nature and empathy with the earth make her a prized guest on Joan of Art. Nature is bigger than art.

Dead Ringers, a six part Amazon show isn't just a retread of the 1988 David Cronenberg film. It's a triumph of sharp female wit from the 37 year old British writer Alice Birch, award winning performances from Rachel Weisz, and a critique of the medical system through female matters, disguised as a blood & gore thriller.

The memoir Alice Carrière has written about her childhood is the most shocking and uplifting book of the decade .
The brilliant only child of the famous American painter Jennifer Bartlett and an intellectual European movie star, Alice Carrière had to find her own self on the far side of her dissociative disorder, despite the brutal coercions of the mental health establishment, medication-induced psychotic breaks, and the damage wrought on her family by the satanic panic of the 1980s.
With immense talent , infinite grace , and rare empathy, the book moves towards love. Alice Carrière, now married, sober, and happy , took care of her mother through dementia to her death, confronted her father about what exactly had happened between them. In a spontaneous, unguarded and tender conversation, Alice Carriere tells all.
Everything Nothing Someone, published by Spiegel & Grau, $28.00,
Jennifer Bartlett’s career-making1976 Rhapsody , made up of 988 painted steel plate is up again at MOMA.
Mathieu Carrière’s films include Young Torless, Tonio Kroger , and many by the writer Marguerite Duras.

Allegra Huston, one of the great book editors and the author of the acclaimed memoir “Love Child” , conducts incisive and effective memoir writing workshops.
Joan Juliet Buck interviews her for Joan of Art as she launches the online version of the Imaginative Storm writing program that she devised with James Navé.
Allegra explains why the Imaginative Storm is based on the principle outlined in their book, “Write What You Don’t Know”, writing as a practice, and how the notion of ‘good writing’ kills the creative impetus .

In this episode of Joan Of Art on Radio Free Rhinecliff, Joan Juliet Buck reviews two offerings about the Opioid Crisis:
Painkiller, an uneven but necessary fiction-based-on-fact series dramatizes how the false marketing of Oxycontin by the Sackler family and their company,Purdue Pharma, hooked millions of Americans and killed hundreds of thousands. Painkiller lags in the middle but packs a punch at the end, and the story is not yet over. (Starring Udo Azuba, Taylor Kitsch, Matthew Broderick, West Duchonvy, Dina Shihabi , on Netflix, 6 episodes)

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is a thrilling documentary by Laura Poitras (‘Citizen Four’) about the courage of one artist, the photographer Nan Goldin. Having set the standard for visual honesty with raw photographs of private lives, attained worldwide fame , and survived a consuming addiction to Oxycontin, she gambled her standing in the art world to force museums to remove the Sackler name from their walls, through a series of protests that give the documentary the pace, tension and payoff of an action movie. It came out in 2022 and has not stopped winning prizes, all deserved. (With Nan Goldin, Patrick Radden Keefe, Mike Quinn, Megan Kapler, on MAX/HBO,1h53 )
