For Episode 3 of The Heart Gallery Podcast, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer talks to artist Joyce Yu-Jean Lee. Joyce works with video, digital photography, and interactive installation that combine ​social ​practice with ​institutional ​critique. Curious about how the act of seeing is transformed by technology, her artwork examines how mass media and visual culture shape notions of truth and understanding of the “other.” Listen to hear from the incredible Joyce Yu-Jean Lee.

Visit The Heart Gallery's visual accompaniment for this podcast episode here (podcast transcript also available here).

HW from Joyce: “Next time you're in a debate with a friend or a family member about an issue,  really pause and think about the perspective of the other. Before you add your answer or your own perspective just pause and really reflect on what that other person is thinking or feeling. See if you might put yourself in their shoes. Try to empathize with their point of view before you speak.”

Hanna is so much more than an artist - I was hoping she would give me a snappy term but it doesn't seem this easy. Hanna's passion and enthusiasm for her art and who can make and access art is really palpable. I have been a fan from afar for a little while, I hope I asked questions that you too will find interesting. Enjoy!

How do we connect human emotion to the built environment? Is it possible to design spaces that produce serenity and wellbeing? Can we harness technology as a force for good rather than division? We’re diving into all of this and more with renowned architect, artist, and self-professed “serene-ist” Suchi Reddy, founder of Reddymade. Throughout her career, Suchi has strived to put human emotion at the center of everything she creates, from a biophilic, LEED Platinum Google flagship store to an interactive art installation in the Smithsonian that challenges viewers to imagine our collective future. Suchi credits her childhood in India, where biophilia was embedded into everyday life, with shaping her extraordinary perspective.

Suchi Reddy founded Reddymade in 2002 and in the years since, the firm has built a reputation for experimentation with materials, color, and technology -  as well as their approach to the overlapping fields of architecture, design, and immersive works of art. Reddymade is the recipient of numerous awards including the NYCxDesign award, AIA Brooklyn + Queens Award, AIA New York Excelsior Award, and Interior Design’s best of the year awards.

Annie Mitchell creates beautiful site-specific land sculptures that combine light and sound with the natural environment. Using handcrafted fiber optics and rhythmic soundscapes, she employs a method called brainwave entrainment, which induces the brain’s frequency following response. Her work is sometimes described as sound therapy, often resulting in meditative or even trance-like states. In this conversation, we discover how art and science can blend—tuning us to just the right frequency.

Outside In is a podcast about the moments that change us. Join your hosts, Pavani Yalla and Joel Krieger, as they discover design in unexpected places. These conversations cover a kaleidoscope of experience — from wilderness treks to VR films, communal festivals to immersive theater. Each episode, they deconstruct an experience with its creator — together, revealing what makes it transformative. A fascinating exploration on the frontier of design for change, this series is for anyone who yearns to transform something about the reality they experience.

In this episode of the podcast, we join photographer Natalie Christensen in her Santa Fe studio.  With over 51,000 Instagram followers Natalie Christensen's career has been one very much born online and driven by a thriving organic digital audience.

Architecture is the main subject matter of her images as she is intrigued by line, form, structure and what lies beyond the edges of an image.  Her photographs deliver vibrant narratives that are both uplifting and reflective.

Natalie Christensen exhibits in Europe and the US  and was one of five invited photographers at The National: Best of Contemporary Photography, Fort Wayne Museum of Art and was recently named one of “Ten Photographers to Watch” at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art.

You can find Natalie Christensen on Instagram and her collaborative partner Jim Eyre.

We are delighted to represent Natalie exclusively in the Nordics and currently have two of her works exhibited at our Winter Art Pop Up until December 31st 2020.

14 DE OCTUBRE DE 2020: Desde pequeño, Ernesto Pujol desarrolló su sensibilidad y reflexiones sobre la cultura a través de viajes y sus vivencias residiendo en países como su oriunda Cuba, Puerto Rico, España y Estados Unidos.  A mediados de los ochenta y luego de estudiar Humanidades en la Universidad de Puerto Rico decide ejercer un voto de silencio por 5 años como monje de clausura.  Esta experiencia le permitió ver la vida de una manera muy distinta a lo que había sido su niñez y adolescencia.  Entendiendo la esencia del silencio, de la interioridad y de la vulnerabilidad del ser humano, decide ejercer una práctica artística al servicio de la sociedad.  

Nos cuenta cómo a finales de los ochenta llega a un Nueva York casi en caos y trabajando para las comunidades comienza desarrollar su carrera profesional en el arte.  Además, nos cuenta sobre su proceso creativo, el rol del artista en estos tiempos de pandemia y sobre su más reciente publicación: el libro “Walking Art Practice: Reflections on Socially Engaged Paths” (2018).

Over the past decade—and especially in the last year—the Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama has swiftly risen to become one of the most prominent African voices in art. At age 32, he has already exhibited at the Biennale of Sydney, on Cockatoo Island (his work “No Friend But the Mountains” is currently on view there through June 8, though that date may change because of the coronavirus pandemic), as well as at the 2019 Frieze Sculpture presentation at Rockefeller Center in New York and the Ghana Pavilion at the 2019 Venice Biennale. He’s created large-scale public installations around the world, including in Milan (with the Trussardi Foundation, also in 2019) and Athens (during Documenta 14, in 2017). Mahama’s work has also been shown at the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester (also in 2019), the Norval Foundation in Cape Town (yet again in 2019), and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University (2015). He is represented by the highly respected White Cube gallery. The Africa Report, a Paris-based news magazine that focuses on African politics and economics, recently named Mahama one of the 100 most influential Africans today. In addition to his art-making, he is the founder of an artist-run nonprofit cultural institution and exhibition space, the Savannah Center for Contemporary Art (SCCA), which opened a year ago (yes, also in 2019) in Tamale, a city in the north of Ghana.

Central to Mahama’s inspiration is a specific material: jute sacks. Working with a team of collaborators to repurpose the burlap bags, which are traditionally used to transport cocoa beans, he sews together installations that range from wall- or room-size to monumental, often draping the fabric on, around, and over prominent architectural sites. Though his pieces have often been compared to the “wrap” work of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, that is not necessarily an apt analogy, or at least it’s just a surface-level one. While similar in scale and scope to Christo’s ambitious environmental artworks, Mahama’s creations, like his overall practice, are socially oriented and focused on concerns such as labor, migration, globalization, and economic exchange.

On this episode of Time Sensitive, Mahama discusses with Spencer his fascination with jute sacks as a material; his views on “Ghanaian time” and Africa’s global influence; his unorthodox upbringing (he grew up among nine siblings and with a polygamous father who had four wives, and was sent to boarding at age 5); and his dreams for the SCCA.

Clare Celeste Börsch is a collage and paper artist who brings to life exquisite three dimensional installations of flora and fauna.  Her passion for the natural world was sparked by her an extraordinary childhood where she travelled extensively with her parents experiencing first-hand the beauty of rainforests, coral reefs and carpets of butterflies.

In this podcast episode, we invite Clare to discuss the current body of work she is creating for Biodiversity a solo gallery exhibition which opens at the Nordic Art Agency in May 2020. Clare has collaborated with Biodiversity Scientist Louisa Durkin to reflect more closely the current global crisis brought about by climate change and the direct impact upon nature, plant and animal species.

You can view images of Clare's work, the installations; Intimate Immensity and The Mushroom hunter and also her latest work in layered plexiglass by visiting her artist profile.

Clare's forthcoming solo exhibition in Sweden takes place from May 22nd - June 20th and you can find details of the Vernissage and Exhibition now. An online gallery store with all the artworks from the exhibition (+ free shipping in the EU) will go live on May 22nd, if you are unable to make it to Malmö.

We shall also be exhibiting Clare's work at Art Nordic in Copenhagen from March 27-20th, stand 112, so do please get in touch for complimentary tickets to the exhibition.

Do check out Clare Celeste Börsch on Instagram.

Our next podcast will be available on Friday, February 28th we will be in conversation with the incredibly talented British artist Jo Hummel.  Jo has curated a gallery exhibition entitled Dear Painting, featuring eight abstract painters exclusively for the Nordic Art Agency, hopefully, you will join us then.
