Description
Amy Beecher is a visual artist working in installation, digital imaging, sound, and text. In 2013 she created a podcast, The Amy Beecher Show, as an excuse to invite people to her 160 square foot Brooklyn apartment. She's since moved, and The Amy Beecher Show has moved with her. Like an easily amazed and distracted therapist, Beecher opens doors to the inner workings of her subject's artistic lives, inviting guests to reflect on their work, their process, and, mostly, everything else.

Today on the podcast is artist, filmmaker and icon Pau S. Pescador. Pau is a trans-nonbinary artist who works in film, photography, and performance. She lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Pau is prolific, and on the podcast we focus on work she made post-Covid that documents her life transitioning in various social spaces: her dating life, her work life, her domestic life.

NYC Crit Club is a misleading name for the collaborative learning program that Catherine Haggarty and Hilary Doyle founded five years ago. A) You can take classes with them from anywhere in the world B) it's super inclusive (affordable!)- less a club, more a gathering. I'm teaching there in the spring and Mira Fucking Schor is teaching there in the fall..two icons! Listen on for more info. Enrollment opens August 15th. NYC Crit Club Fall 2022 Courses PS: We don't usually do #ads because that would break from this pod's brand of time consuming and unprofitable that Amy has built over so many years. But NYC Crit Club is great, worth the exception. #intentional #plug.

At the beginning of the pandemic artist, critic, and co-editor of Precog magazine Gaby Collins-Fernandez gave a lecture to an empty room at The School of Visual Arts in New York City.

If I could listen to a podcast and sing The Wheels On the Bus at the same time, I would listen to this week's re-release of my conversation with Jackie Cedar, painter and founder of Good Work Gallery.

Happy holiday week. My gift to you: three things you can do to feel less "meh" about your holiday break. 1) Donate to the Institute of American Indian Arts, a college and research center in Santa Fe devoted to supporting indigenous American arts. One of my former students goes there. 2) Attend the last performance of my exhibition at Pari Passu view live stream or in-person. 3) Listen to this re-release. It's with Cassandra Jenkins! She's on tour right now, killing it. Somebody at a party once told me this was their favorite episode. Or was it that it was the only one they listened to? Not sure. Go for it.

I think it was early 2019 that I went to see Tracy Molis' last show at Kai Matsumiya. There were two types of paintings on view: paintings of artifacts inspired by an archaeological drawing class she was teaching at Columbia, and then paintings of stills from a Rage Against The Machine music video… a different type of artifact. In some ways, this re-released podcast in honor of her next show at the gallery feels like a dusty dug up artifact, a remnant from the "before times." Enjoy this time capsule! It's one of our most downloaded episodes. Show Notes Tracy Molis Kai Matsumiya

Let's celebrate Colleen Asper! I curated Performing Pictures Workshop at Pari Passu Gallery with Colleen's work as a conceptual and physical anchor. On Sunday 31 October she debuted Echo, a collaboration with artist Julie Harting, and performances will continue every Sunday through the end of November 2021. (Tickets are available here). Here is a talk I did with her in the Old Era. Brace yourself. She's brilliant. Never miss an episode of The Amy Beecher Show. Subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
Today's re-release: this one's exciting because it corresponds with some content that you can stream from the comfort of your own home: Aoife Spillane Hink's film opera A Thing I Cannot Name is streaming online today for World Opera Day. Irish-American director, writer, and actor Aoife-Spillane Hinks is a longtime friend of mine. We used to joke that we were long lost sisters (similar curly hair although hers was more impressive) and even though we rarely get to connect you can tell in this episode that there's so much love there. I am quite jealous of Aoife's acquired Irish-American lilt, yet another reason to listen and enjoy. Show Notes Stream A Thing I Cannot Name free and on demand for 24 hours on 25 October 2021
Today's re-release: a talk with the brilliant Ilana Harris-Babou, whose exhibition Wholesome Fun runs at Kunsthaus Hamburg through November 28th AND whose survey is at University of Chattanooga's ICA through Nov 5th. It's no secret I'm a huge Ilana-Harris Babou fan. We share interests: unraveling the commodification of cart, playing with slime and glop, appropriating advertising verbiage..the list goes on..

Are you taking care, my fellow sun seekers, fun seekers? Drink your water. Get sleep. Wash your hands. Read a poem. Listen to a podcast. (hint hint). Content warning: Death and dying.
