Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/12/14

When you go to Miami each year, you are hoping to discover something new, something fresh, an artist that changes the way you look at the contemporary art landscape. For Radio Juxtapoz, we were able to go North while heading South, where we hosted a live panel conversation with Saimaiyu Akesuk, an Iqaluit born, Kinngait-based artist whose distinctive patterns and oil pastel animal drawings drew the eye of Canada Goose and the Canada Goose Art Collection. Last week at the Canada Goose pop-up store

126: Erwin Wurm | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/11/14

It's refreshing to talk to an artist who likes a bit of the absurd. And who bucked the trend of his home country and started making work that blended performance, fashion, sculpture, text, video, theater and interaction that turned him into an internationally acclaimed artist who is known to make fine art out of, well, the absurd moments of daily life. Vienna-based Erwin Wurm comes from a refreshingly old school way of a studio practice that utilizes ideas over function. We might know him for

There are just certain artists who know their subject. For Tim Conlon, freight train graffiti is his muse, his subject, his love, his investigation. As a freight graffiti artist himself, Tim took that passion and understanding of the North American railroad system and turned into wonderfully constructed photoreal paintings of graff on trains as well as a series of train set works featuring graffiti pieces. His work is about not only a love of graffiti, but a story of movement, of communication and

There doesn't seem to be anything more 1984 than taking what was one of the most popular selling books of the 21st century and printing an alternative text upon its ashes. There is that wonderful moment in Orwell's masterwork that reads "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History

123: Dada Khanyisa | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/10/24

Okay, okay, okay, Cape Town-based artist Dada Khanyisa isn't a Dadaist, so maybe the title here is misleading. But they are having a solo show currently at the Johannesburg Art Gallery and they are part of the roster of the great Stevenson gallery and they are making work that is both politically astute but also about this ideas of what they say is "going out culture, but also going in culture." So even if it's not Dadaism, it's Dada-ism. On this episode of the Radio Juxtapoz

122: Sara Birns | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/10/18

Let's talk about morphing. Better yet, let's talk about the images and visions that we have that are in-between our reality, like when you snap to focus and there are blurred lines and a bit of a shaky floater in your eyeline. You might see some crazy shit. For Sara Birns, she is a painter of morphing visions and facial structures, things that are recognizably unrecognizable. "I wanted to capture, and realistically reveal the way I interpret the invisible forces that are just beyond the

121: Cato | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/10/10

The airbrush is a utilitarian tool. That is the beauty of it. It can be a fine art device, of course, as is the case with so many brilliant studio artists today, but it can also be an everyday tool, customizing cars, painting industrial objects, sign paintings, you name it. And for Cato, the London-based artist who is both in the fine arts and music, the airbrush is a tool to tell a story, a new sort of social realism, where art is both a mode for storytelling but also something deeply foundational

120: April Bey | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/09/26

When you walked through the prestigious Armory Show a few weeks ago, April Bey's solo booth with Bahamas-based Tern Gallery, was the standout. The fair itself was quite strong, but there was something about walking into a universe, the April Bey universe, that was transcendental and hypnotic, immersive. Bey is political and poignant, with a sense of humor and harsh social critique that has been honed by both being a professor at Glendale College in California and practicing fine artist with solo

119: Shadi Al-Atallah | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/09/20

Shadi Al-Atallah's newest solo show, Fistfight, begins with an excerpt from The Epic of Gilgamesh and seems apt to start right here: “huge arms gripped huge arms, foreheads crashed like wild bulls, the two men staggered, they pitched against houses, the doorposts trembled, the outer walls shook, they careened through the streets, they grappled each other, limbs intertwined, each huge body straining to break free from the other’s embrace. Finally, Gilgamesh threw the wild man and with his right

118: Horacio Quiroz | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/08/09

"Everything in our universe has a dual manifestation," says Mexico City born Horacio Quiroz when you just take a gander at this bio. Well, here we go, you know this conversation is going to be a good one. As the artist opened his new solo show, Goddesses of Spoiled Lands, at Annka Kultys Gallery in London, duality of existence is definitely on the mind. In this insightful and revealing conversation, Radio Juxtapoz sat down with Quiroz to discuss the complexities of growing up queer in

117: Ana Barriga | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/08/02

When you name your solo show Say Cheese, there are a lot of puns that can come from it. Ana Barriga did just that for her solo show at Carl Kostyál in London. Say Cheese makes you smile, makes you focus your attention on something that may stand the test of time really, but also puts you into another realm of posing and posturing. And for the Madrid-based painter, she is ready for this moment. "My work involves instinct and attitude," she says, and as her show was opening in the British

116: Jon Key | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/07/25

We can call this a new season for Radio Juxtapoz, and Jon Key is the perfect guest. Situating himself between Brooklyn and Margate, UK, Key has a thread through his practice and his life, one that involves family (he is a twin), art, design and adventure. Though his work is focused on the relationships and heritage he is constantly discovering, he is weaving, both through painting and conceptual fashion design, a story about himself. As a Queer Black man originally from the rural town of Seale,

115: Lucy McLauchlan | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/07/17

When we have talked about British painter and muralist Lucy McLauchlan over the years, we have used descriptors like spontaneous and natural, organic and natural. She transformed almost room and building sized brushstrokes, often in black and white, as extensions of her being and adapting to the surfaces she paints on. She may have been part of the street art scene, but she was channeling environmentalism in the process. Recently part of Mural Fest Kosovo, curated by Radio Juxtapoz's own Doug

114: Martyn Reed of Nuart Festival | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/06/26

We have spent years trying to get Martyn Reed on the Radio Juxtapoz podcast. The main reason being that the man behind perhaps the most famous, enduring and renowned street art festival in the world, Nuart, has changed the way we contextualize and think about the role of art in our everyday lives. Every year, whether in Stavanger, Norway until recently and now his 7th edition in Aberdeen, Scotland, Reed has themed his curation to certain topics, inviting not only artists to paint on city walls, but

113: SWOON | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/06/14

It's rare we get an artist to come out of retirement for a Radio Juxtapoz podcast, but there we were in Aberdeen, Scotland this past weekend with the pioneering and legendary artist SWOON. She didn't retire per se; she retired from street art. The consuming nature of the art form she felt took her away from other creative outlets she wanted pursue, like installations, philanthropy, museum exhibitions, gallery work, collaboration and now, animation and film. But for Nuart Aberdeen, she got

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/05/17

As part of our series of live podcasts recorded at The Crystal Ship Festival in Ostende, Belgium last month, today we share a series of conversations from legendary photographer Martha Cooper, artist Jaune and festival organizer and curator, Mélissa Cucci. This episode was recorded live at a special evening of Radio Juxtapoz conversations at the Festival, with each giving their unique perspective, history and understanding of the ever-expanding world of graffiti and street art, as well as its

111: Julien de Casabianca | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/04/24

There are thousands of paintings that exist in the backrooms of museums, forgotten by time but still exquisite and tell the story of a period of time. Like street art, that transforms our public spaces and reimagines the experience of city or challenges our perceptions of where art can and should exist, and what is ownership, the practice of Julien de Casabianca is perfectly linked to art history and art in the streets. As the Crystal Ship notes, where this podcast was recorded, "Casabianca

They are below the eye-line, hidden from view, just above the curbs or sidewalks. Brussels based stencil-artist Jaune creates artwork that is miniature in scale but large in concept, a series of city and garbage workers stenciled with incredible detail and a metaphorical look at the things that hold our infrastructures together and the ways we ignore how a city works. There is the idea that street art aims to disrupt the typical power structures of city centers, where advertising is rife in public

109: Saj Issa | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/04/09

Palestinian-American artist Saj Issa was born in St Louis, studies at UCLA and is influenced and moved by the imagery of the Arab World. This is all important in understanding where she comes from in her ceramic works and paintings: she is showing you where she comes from and where she is going, and most importantly, the visuals that she has been embedded with her entire life. Her parents emigrated to the US in the 1980s from Palestine, settling in Missouri, literally coming from the center point of

108: Conor Harrington | Radio Juxtapoz

Radio Juxtapoz by The Unibrow ·

2023/04/03

We can't believe Conor Harrington hasn't been on the Radio Juxtapoz podcast before. The 3x cover artist has been a symbol for our magazine for the last 15 years or so, an artist who learned his chops as a teenager on the streets as a graffiti writer, honed those skills in art school and then found a way to combine the two worlds into his fine art practice. For years, Conor has been painting these scenes of reenactors' playing out their great fantasy of pageantry and tradition. But Conor
