Interview with artist Krista Svalbonas | EP16 Subtext & Discourse

In what will likely be the last interview for 2019, today I'm speaking with Krista Svalbonas. Krista not only took part in the Jarvis Dooney Postcard Salon but also surprised me in Arles when she booked me to review her portfolio during the opening week of the festival. Krista shares a lot of insight into her project about displaced person camps in Germany which she has been documenting for the past few years, her unique photographic process, as well as how this personal story and shared history is very relevant in these uncertain times.
----------
Krista Svalbonas (b.1977, USA) holds a BFA Photography (Syracuse University) and an MFA Interdisciplinary (SUNY New Paltz). Her work has been exhibited in a number of exhibitions including at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Howard Yezerski Gallery in Boston, Klompching Gallery and ISE Cultural Foundation in New York. Her work has been collected in a number of private collections, as well as the Cesis Art Museum in Latvia. Recent awards include the Rhonda Wilson Award (2017), Puffin Foundation Grant (2016) and a Bemis Fellowship (2015) among others. In 2015 Svalbonas exhibited a solo installation at the Spartanburg Art Museum in South Carolina. She is an assistant professor of photography at St. Joseph’s University. She lives and works in Philadelphia.

Interview with artist couple Louise Crawford & Stéphan Guéneau | EP15 Subtext & Discourse

As 2019 draws to an end we have a couple more interviews with participants of our second Postcard Salon which took place at the beginning of this year. Back in July I met up with Louise Crawford and Stéphan Guéneau, artist couple from Scottland and France respectively. We speak about their series 36 Related Objects, their love of large format analogue photography and the inevitable transition to a digital workflow.
----------
Louise Crawford (Scotland) and Stéphan Guéneau (France) work on large format analogue photography (4X5), 16mm films and installations. They live in Paris and Berlin.
Louise Crawford studied at Falmouth School of Art in England followed by a postgraduate year at the Düsseldorf Kunstakademie. Stéphan Guéneau studied in l’École des Beaux-Arts de Rouen in France and in the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin. They are both Le Fresnoy — Studio national des arts contemporains alumni.
They have been collaborating since 2000. Recurrent themes throughout their work are; an interest in contemporary history and its impact on urban space and landscape, film —and the film noir aesthetic—, the archive as document/as artwork, the half-tone image and its relationship to history, archiving and cataloging.
In April 2019, they had a screenprinting residency with Atelier #808080 in association with La Maison Julien Graq; in 2016, a post-production residency with Light Cone in Paris to re-master and digitize 2 film works and in 2014 were chosen for an Écritures de Lumières’ academic photography residency at Pierre & Marie Curie college in Bolbec, Normandy. In 2010 they were commissioned by the Goethe Institut and the French Alliance in Glasgow to produce a series of photographs celebrating the 20th anniversary of German Reunification shown at Street Level Photography Gallery during Glasgow International and in 2008 they were commissioned by L’Onde Art Centre outside of Paris to produce a series of photographs exhibited in advertising panels throughout the city of Velizy-Villacoublay.

Interview with artist Cat Lamora | EP7.1 Subtext & Discourse Podcast

This two part interview with Cat Lamora was recorded by Michael Dooney on 9. April 2019 in Berlin, Germany.
More details: https://www.patreon.com/posts/subtext...
Continuing the series of interviews with artists who participated in the Jarvis Dooney 2019 Postcard Salon, today I'm speaking with Korean Canadian artist Cat Lamora who briefly visited Berlin during April this year. Cat was in Europe, specifically France, for the Paris Ass Book Fair an international fair that brings together publishers of artist’s books and fanzines, booksellers, and artists related by their exploration of taboos, sex and gender. Cat was there with Paris based Korean French collective Studio HAP and the Sad Art Store from Toronto.
I’ve split this conversation in two parts as we spoke at length not only about Cat’s work, but how their unique personal narrative has shaped their view of the world. Growing up as a Korean immigrant in Canada, being part of the LGBTQ community, addressing internalised racism and coming to terms with the myriad realities of cultural identity.

----------
Finally managed to finish editing my interview with Sophie Dumaresq from September 2018. Sophie was in Berlin for the European Month of Photography, together with Kate Robertson and Derek Kreckler. We first exhibited Sophie's work at Jarvis Dooney in 2016, coincidentally with Kate Robertson & another emerging artist Jacqueline Ball: http://photography-now.com/exhibition...
This is the third of three interviews recorded during Berlin Art Week & EMOP Berlin 2018.
Sophie Dumaresq (b. 1991 Canberra, Australia) is an artist working in photo media in addition to large and small scale sculptural installation. Her work explores symbiotic cycles of consumption, destruction and creation demonstrating how as a species we relate, show empathy and evolve with and within our surrounding environment.
In 2009 she attended a student internship program at Questacon The Australian National Centre for Science and Technology. She completed her Diploma in Photography (honours) at Spéos International photography school - Paris & London and has participated in group exhibitions in Australia, France, Greece and Germany.
She is based in Canberra, Australia.

Interview with artist Derek Kreckler | EP4 Subtext & Discourse Podcast

This episode of Subtext & Discourse was first uploaded on 7. April 2019 - https://www.patreon.com/posts/subtext...
Interview with Derek Kreckler was recorded by Michael Dooney on Wednesday 3. October 2018 in Berlin.
----------
It has already been over six months since Berlin Art Week and the 8th EMOP Berlin - European Month of Photography festival. As mentioned in the earlier interview with Kate Robertson, we hosted three major solo exhibitions during that time; as well as recording a number of interviews with the visiting artists. I was hoping to have uploaded the conversation with Derek before now, but didn't manage due to a number of items which I'll discuss more at a later date. In the mean time I hope you enjoy the interview.

Kreckler’s works span performance, film, photography, installation, and video. He has regularly created tough, insistent imagery that has been at the critical edge of Australian art history and which has provided comment on our country’s past, present, and future. The art of Derek Kreckler is often described as “unsettling.” Some have even referred to it as “dangerous.” Whether relishing the risk of experimentation and chance, or purposefully challenging our perceptions of country, identity, and self, Kreckler’s works flirt with an uncertainty that prickle the neck. At the same time, they open our eyes to the magic of how images are made, the murkiness of nationhood and its perpetuation, and the wonder of how powerful the landscape can be. His works have much to share about art history, social relations, popular culture, and the environment. Kreckler offers conceptual and expressive forms that are commanding, yet spacious.
Hannah Mathews, Curator of Accident & Process.
