    155: Hannah Lupton Reinhard | Radio Juxtapoz

    Hannah Lupton Reinhard's paintings always have a consistency in intent, and yet an interpretation of intention seems to be flexible for some, perhaps even malleable. The theme of moving goal posts to secure your own meaning is rife in modern society, perhaps more so than ever as we all have the unique ability to erase our own history so easily. We all, at the touch of a button, can share and manipulate our opinions, often in an instant. I don't know if we, as a collective, were ready for this, and we are struggling. We are angry. We are confused.  Reinhard has been making paintings about being Jewish since her time at RISD, has explored Jewish "displacement, diaspora, and the weight of inherited identity." In her celebratory work, she speaks of something quite universal: the complex idea of home and, as she notes from the philosopher Judith Butler, "that cohabitation—living among and alongside others—is central to Jewishness itself." As war in the Middle East began to explore, her work was being re-evauluated, her inclusive opinions causing her anger from her community and re-reading of her artwork that was never her intention. It brought out broader conversations about coexistence, and how a proudly Jewish artist can criticize Zionism while remaining as proud of her heritage as ever? In this conversation on the Radio Juxtapoz podcast, Evan Pricco speaks with Reinhard at Rusha & Co just as her solo show, Are We Here Yet? was opening. They spoke about how the fires in Los Angeles gave her work an extra dimension, finding identity in art school and how she painted through a major shift in her public life and how it caused a uncertainty in her private life. (Editor's note: Click here to see imagery that connects with the conversation, a gives context for some of Reinhard's older works) Radio Juxtapoz' Unibrow podcast is hosted by Juxtapoz editor, ⁠⁠⁠Evan Pricco⁠⁠⁠.

    154: Jeremy Geddes | Radio Juxtapoz

    It took Melbourne's Jeremy Geddes over 5 years to make his newest solo show, Periphery, for Thinkspace Projects, and it's been over a decade since he last had a show all together. He is a patient man, a man who loves the details, making personal and universal works that are about the human condition in relation to explorations of space, our soul and our relationship the technology all around us. He is an explorer of the smallest details, a painter who doesn't just have the technical skill of past masters from centuries before, but a problem of solver of the self. So it took him 5 years to make this show, and, while on the plane to Los Angeles in the first week of January, 2025, it took Los Anglees a few hours to be changed forever. Time is fascinating that way; an artist and mother nature have different schedules. Speaking of schedules, we schedules this conversation with Jeremy a few weeks ago, just before he made his trip to Los Angeles for the solo show at Thinkspace Projects, his first solo show in over a decade and a culmination of work made since 2019. Before the pandemic, to now. Quite a significant moment for him, and for us, a moment to connect with a past cover artist, a vital artist in our history. As fires were ravaging LA's hills and communities, Jeremy and I had this conversation with heavy hearts. With heavy minds. Past guest of Radio Juxtapoz, featured artists in the magazine, friends, family, colleagues, all lost homes in these fires. Friends, family and colleagues have homes threatened right now, as I recond this. It’s a tragedy, it’s unthinkable, it’s been quite unimaginable. In this conversation, Jeremy and I speak about that attention to detail, about how he sees the scope of his life finally seeing this show all together and how much of his work isn't informed by science fiction but our need to explore what it is that moves us, no matter how small or how significant. —Evan Pricco Radio Juxtapoz' Unibrow podcast is hosted by Juxtapoz editor, ⁠⁠⁠Evan Pricco⁠⁠⁠.

    153: Umar Rashid | Radio Juxtapoz

    It isn't often we invite a guest to come onto Radio Juxtapoz for a second time, but Umar Rashid is beyond an exception. He's a friend with something to talk about, a new show, yes, The Kingdom of the Two Californias. La Época del Totalitarismo Part 2 at BLUM in Los Angeles... but we are also talking two days after the American election and an artist dedicated to history has something to say. A lot to say. "This epoch is exhausting," Rashid says, as we explore his own explorations of history and the cacophony of noise of the contemporary. In our wide-ranging conversation, we talk about making art in the midst of history happening around you, how you can tell stories from the past that explain our current and future selves and how much it takes to prepare a body of work that is about a narrative that demands a deeper read. Umar never shies away from telling us how our history is often over-looked, and although that seems simple, it's a plague of humanity to not look back in order to move forward. And art is his language... Radio Juxtapoz' Unibrow podcast is hosted by Juxtapoz editor, ⁠⁠Evan Pricco⁠⁠.

    152: Danielle Mckinney | Radio Juxtapoz

    Something that will always exist, regardless of political landscapes and the changing of societal norms, is the need to honor space. ⁠Danielle Mckinney⁠ knows something about space, and waiting, and watching, and observing. As a photographer she practices these disciplines, and when she began to explore her desire to paint, she found something remarkably powerful: the space for the body to rest. Whether it was a fantasy or a dream, Mckinney's work is a powerful reminder that the art of protest can come in unexpected ways, that sound can reverberate from the quietest of moments and just how much rest and the act of being seen resonates so deeply. In this episode of the ⁠Radio Juxtapoz's Unibrow podcast⁠, Jux editor ⁠Evan Pricco⁠ speaks to Mckinney the day before the American election of 2024, which envelops the conversation with a bit of realistic uncertainty. Mckinney speaks of her shows in Europe in 2024, listening to Thom Yorke and the Cocteau Twins, her youth in Alabama and Georgia and giving woman of color the space and place to be seen. ⁠Subscribe to the Radio Juxtapoz podcast⁠⁠.  Radio Juxtapoz' Unibrow podcast is hosted by Juxtapoz editor, ⁠Evan Pricco⁠.

    151: Koak | Radio Juxtapoz

    San Francisco's ⁠Koak⁠ has always been a mystery to us. Yes, of course she is an internationally exhibited painter and the cover of the Juxtapoz Fall 2024 Quarterly in time with her solo show at Perrotin in Paris in September, but that there is something non-era-specific about the work she makes. Timeless get overused, but Koak makes otherworldly paintings that are personal, emotional, universal, environmental and narrative all in one. In this episode of the Radio Juxtapoz's new Unibrow series, a more raw, uncut version of our podcast, Koak talks to me about her teen years in Santa Cruz, how she thinks of composing her installations in the vein of comic book storytelling, how a very difficult year led to quite a compulsive, painstaking process to make her show in Paris and how an upcoming institutional show in London makes her feel right at home.

    150: Anthony Cudahy | Radio Juxtapoz

    Anthony Cudahy is at an interest time in his life when we spoke for the Radio Juxtapoz podast: he hadn't been in the studio for a bit. And who could blame him? He had concurrent solo shows open at Grimm and Hales in NYC, and his first museum show, Spinneret, had opened Ogunquit Museum of American Art in Maine earlier in the year and was about to open at the Green Family Art Foundation in Dallas the week of our conversation. A break, or at least taking it all in, seemed quite relatable.  And on this episode of Radio Juxtapoz, it does feel like Anthony is thinking about what is next, giving his most recent work and past works a little deeper look, deeper thoughts and really taking note of how the past 5 years of his life have really taking off. He is a painter of stories, of narratives, capturing his husband and friends in fragments that almost take on a life of their own. Maybe that is what it is all about; letting a painting take you somewhere, outside of yourself by of yourself, and just taking you to another place. That is what Anthony is really, really good at that.  The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 150 was recorded in the NYC in October 2024. Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@radiojuxtapoz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    149: Matt Bollinger | Radio Juxtapoz

    Matt Bollinger's aim is both to define America but also define himself. Okay, okay, that seems like a wide net to throw, and it maybe it even seems simplistic, but there is his contemporary approach to social realistic, Ashcan School style that has made Bollinger one of the most interesting artists working today in painting, drawing and animation that speaks about and creates narratives of midwest America. His characters often show up in different bodies of work, different mediums, as we follow them through recessions and pandemics and aging, and really just life. Originally from Missouri and now working out of upstate New York, this is a time where Bollinger's voice seems as vital as ever. On this episode of the Radio Juxtapoz podcast, we get the band back together, so to speak, where hosts Evan Pricco and Doug Gillen interview Bollinger about his recent body of work shown in London and the state of America through the lens of his characters. On the heels of our conversation with Patrisse Cullors, this could be the beginning of our "state of the union" series of pods.

Episode 149 was recorded in the Los Angeles, Margate and Ithaca in September 2024. Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@radiojuxtapoz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

    148: Patrisse Cullors | Radio Juxtapoz

    As a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, and a career as an artist, writer, abolitionist, Patrisse Cullors is one of the most influential figures in contemporary culture of the 21st century. What the Los Angeles-born Cullors has found in art is something quite fascinating in contrast to work as a activist: space to explore the limitations of language and the expansive nature of creating histories in physical form. I met Cullors at picnic table outside Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles' Chinatown on the occasion of the artist's first solo show with the gallery, "Between the Warp and Weft: Weaving Shields of Strength and Spirituality." That conversation led to this episode of Radio Juxtapoz, where. Cullors and I discussed the expanded world of activism, her history in making art and the influences of Black American artists in her work and where she sees America at now with the looming elections just months away. —Evan Pricco The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco.
