Happy 4th of July! We've always loved the graphic works of q***r love by the Mexican artist Félix d'Eon

He's one of many artists who's had their work censored and accounts removed from social media over the years. Here are his own words from June of last year:

"So Instagram erased my account yesterday, which had 114,000 followers. This is my third account they erase. They erased me over the two paintings I am sharing here, of a beautiful fat mermaid, and a trans woman. Their rules explicitly state that nudity, and even s*xuality, is acceptable in art that is not a photo, but the reason they gave for censoring the painting of the mermaid and the trans woman was that they constituted "s*xual services for adults" as the screen capture says, in Spanish. Another account, Alphachanneling, has 1.4 million followers, but they make explicit art featuring straight s*x, so that is ok. I mentioned this on twitter and one of my followers reported them, and the response said that they "don't break Instagram's rules." Neither do I, but apparently, the mere existence of fat women, trans women, and q***r expresions of (painted) s*xuality is enough to get you thrown off of Instagram repeatedly, even if you follow their "rules," which only apply to straight artists and art. Instagram was my biggest platform, which accounted for the majority of traffic to my etsy shop, and hence, sales. This is a major blow. And maybe if they hadn't erased my page three times, I would have a lot more followers. But I am sure that when June comes, Instagram will have rainbows everywhere, and brag on all their platforms about how they support the q***r community."

As a successful artist and university professor, Alicia's advice for artists is simple and wise. Making the choice to forge your own path in the arts is not always easy, but if you continue to dedicate yourself to your craft you can succeed.

Tune into this week's episode with available wherever you get your podcasts.

I would say it's a choice. It's like a choice that you have to make over and over and over again is to be an artist and to keep being an artist, by making art and by not stopping, and I think it doesn't have as much to do with innate talents or abilities as it does with just not giving up. As far as I can tell from what I've seen in my life, the people who kind of get anywhere with their work are the people who haven't given up. But I know that there are a lot of people who had advantages in one way or another, like money or connections or whatever. But I think ultimately the most important thing is, like, that determination.

YOU ARE MAGIC is a monumental inflatable created by this weeks guest Alicia Eggert. When two or more people hold hands, they complete an electrical circuit that brings the sculpture to life. The sculpture grows larger the longer participants hold hands, but as soon as they release their hands the circuit is broken, and the sculpture deflates.⁠

Head to wherever you listen to podcasts to learn more about Alicia's work.

You Are Magic will be popping up all around Dublin, Ireland, this September, as part of the Dublin Fringe Festival! Shout out to who fabricated the inflatable, who made the electronics components, .angerbauer and who helped fabricate the platform, who took this photo, and and who modeled for the photo and pretended the sculpture was working when it actually wasn’t yet. It’s fun to think back on those days. 💞💞💞

Episode 19 with interdisciplinary artist Alicia Eggert is LIVE!

We're so excited to continue season 2, dedicated to featuring female leaders and change makers in the arts. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

The religious upbringing has definitely shaped me and my work in a lot of ways. And I think it's ultimately why I think so much about time and almost like big existential questions are sort of what drives me and the work that I do. And I think the reason for that is because I spent so much time in Church listening to my dad's sermons and wondering about the purpose of life or the meaning of life and what's going to happen after we die and all those kinds of questions. So, yeah, it's an interesting kind of backstory. But my dad often says now that he wishes I was making the kind of work I'm making now when he was still preaching, because he would likely use my work as for his sermons.

Happy from their latest special exhibition, Turner’s Modern World, was a feast for the eyes. From monumental history painting to impressionistic, abstract landscapes and seascapes - his mastery of color is unmatched. Enjoy!

Rockets and Blue Lights (Close at Hand) to Warn Steamboats of Shoal Water
Exhibited 1840
Oil on canvas
As a powerful storm pounds the shoreline, ships use blue distress flares to warn other vessels of shallow water. Bystanders look on helplessly, as the fates of the ships hang in the balance. The disorientation is pushed to the point of abstraction as sea, clouds, and sky converge. A critic at the time sneered that the painting "would be equally effective, equally pleasing, and equally comprehensible if turned upside down.
The Clark Art Institute, Acquired by Sterling and Francine Clark, 1932

The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, October 16, 1834
1835
Oil on canvas
Huge crowds of people, including Turner himself, lined the banks of the Thames to witness the horrific fire that engulfed the Houses of Parliament in October 1834. In Turner's painting, orange flames illuminate the clouds above and reflect across the river, creating an overwhelming vision of destruction and despair. Even the new technology of steam-powered fireboats proved futile in the face of this national catastrophe; the steamships at lower right were delayed by a low tide as they attempted to haul firefighting equipment to the scene. Turner's depiction, hinting at the passing of an old order with the destruction of its symbolic seat of power, highlights the links between technology, industry, and forces beyond human control.

Episode 18 with Darienne Turner, Assistant Curator of Indigenous Art of the Americas is LIVE! Head to the link in bio to listen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hired in 2020 Darienne is the BMA's first native curator of Native Art. Her hire signaled a commitment by the museum to promote and interpret the art of indigenous peoples of the Americas. A member of the Yurok Tribe of California, Darienne is one of the few native curators of Native Art in U.S. museums. In our conversation, she discusses her role and the challenges in presenting and collecting native art in an institutional context and her responsibility to tell the stories of native peoples thoughtfully and reverently.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Available wherever you listen to your podcasts.
"Oftentimes, Native art is seen as static, as something that has never changed, that these people are from a primitive culture, and that just by virtue of being exposed to white people, they recognize that they were obsolete and just stopped producing art. And that's complete nonsense. Native people change their art over time. They look at their surroundings and they get new materials to work with. And they were interacting with white Americans and getting exposed to styles that they may have never seen before or acquired materials like beads that they took to a level that white creators never really took beads. They've covered entire garments with beads. So I think that we have a lot of work to do in the field, to educate people, to show them that Native art is important, that it has transformed over time that reflects a really complex and important history in the United States. There's more than just or George Washington. And when we think about the foundation of this country."

Being the first native curator hired by the BMA to care for their native art holdings, she is uniquely suited to ensure native stakeholders are represented in the museum. In our conversation Darienne speaks about the challenges in presenting and caring for native art and objects, the impact of the pandemic on museums, and her first show at the BMA. “Stripes and Stars: Reclaiming Lakota Independence” (October 11, 2020 - March 28, 2021).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"All the different tribes had different experiences. So my tribe had our experience, which is very different from the Seminole's experience, which is very different from the Mohawk people's experience. And when I come to curating Native Art, I want to recognize that Native people are not a monolith. We don't have one single culture. We are a sort of kaleidoscope of all the different cultures of the Americas. And it's important to embrace that and really figure out a way to communicate that to visitors, because that's probably not the first thing that comes to mind when they hear Native American."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy Turkey Day to our U.S. listeners. We hope you enjoy this lovely, very rare Northern European Fayence Turkey C**k Tureen and Cover, circa 1755-60, from
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Probably German, the seated bird with beautifully modeled plumage colored in ‘grand feu’ colors of iron red and manganese, the tail fanned out, the cover formed as the top of the back and a Turkey Chick as the finial.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Native to the Americas, the turkey was brought to Europe in the 16th century by the Spanish and soon overtook the peacock as the grand baroque bird on dining tables of the courts of Europe. Spreading across the continent, it became so popular that the English brought it with them when they established their colonies in New England. Hence, the turkey on Thanksgiving tables is closer to the European variety than the indigenous North American bird. This example of cross-cultural exchange is one of the many lasting impacts of European colonization.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay tuned for our next episode with Darienne Turner, Assistant Curator of Indigenous Art of the Americas . In our conversation, we discuss the challenges of curating and displaying native art.

Why do collectors collect? Listen to Shirley’s answer and learn more about her work in this week’s episode. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Collectors, by and large collect not to make a profit, but because they love the pieces and they love organizing them in their house. They love telling other people about them. They love imagining that they might go to museums and have have a respected place sharing it with one children giving to one's children giving part of you because objects are a part of ourselves.

We're so grateful to have interviewed him last year during the height of the pandemic when the museum's doors were closed. While many museums were facing closure, Mark was working tirelessly on global initiatives to continue the Meadows's mission as the leading institution for the study of Spanish art in the U.S. He was a brilliant curator and scholar who organized one landmark exhibition after another. We'll miss his generosity and warm spirit greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
