Truth! Desire! Lack!  Today on Field Pod, Directors Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello sit down with curator Michael Howard and artist El Perez in his current exhibition FROM WHAT I REMEMBER, on the night of the first day of our install.  We discuss class-bias at the moment of entry into the art world and the difficulties of attaining professional development from a position of poverty. In a sprawling conversation we cover topics from painting techniques and validity to the art market, shop class as soulcraft, car crashes, rubbernecking, the ways that stereotypes play on unconscious signals, memorials and their secret stories, as well as desire and comedy in art.  We especially discuss the term “lack” and Elbert’s special brand of existential signification. Then we wrap things up with a short list of shows to GO SEE.   Show Notes Interviewee Social Handles & Websites Elbert Perez @elbertperezonline http://www.fieldprojectsgallery.com/elbert-joseph-perez Michael Howard @basquiat_fanfic   Jagrut Raval @jagrut_raval http://www.fieldprojectsgallery.com/jagrut-raval Melissa Joseph @melissajoseph_art https://www.melissajoseph.net/   Go sees Heather Rowe: Christina Ramberg, Heroes Gallery @heroes__gallery April 28th – June 11th, 2022 https://www.heroesgallery.gallery/heather-rowe-christina-ramberg Heather Rowe @heather_rowe_studio http://heatherrowestudio.com/ Heidi Lau  @heidiwtlau Greenwich Cemetery @historicgreenwood https://www.green-wood.com/artist-in-residence/   Us Kris Racaniello @krisrac @krisracworks Jacob Rhodes @jacobrhodes74 Field Projects @fieldprojects www.fieldprojectsgallery.com

Model Homes! White Flight! Protest! + Resistance! Today, Field Projects Co-Directors Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello discuss their week, covering some podcasts, comedy shows, and their future projects including a summer conference and–– haunted paintings?? Then the FP team presents a roundtable with artist Johannah Herr, her co-author and collaborator Cara Marsh Sheffler and Lynn Maliszewski, the Archives and Collections Manager of the Queens Museum. The roundtable took place within Herr’s solo exhibition I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE, a show featuring her architectural imaginaries. We discuss Johannah’s work and “I Have Seen the Future: Official Guidebook,” a collaborative publication between Cara Marsh Sheffler & Johannah Herr. Lynn Maliszewski brings her work on the history of the World’s Fairs in Flushing Meadows to bear on our discussion of the content of the exhibition during our panel. They talk about the 1939 and 1964 world's fairs that took place in Flushing NY–– a discussion covering our constructed understanding of colonialism, nationalism, racism, misogyny, religious motivations, but also the hope and idealism that shaped the fairs. What pavilion lives in secret in your head?

Healthcare! Freedom! Abortion Rights! + Local Politics! Field Pod takes to the field (or the astroturf at Cadman Plaza) to speak with activists at the Bans Off Our Bodies rally. We hear important, real reasons why people turned up to advocate for abortion as a human right. Then Kris sits down with artist Chiara No for a discussion of Tipper Gore and paparazzi photographs of celebrity vaginas. They talk testosterone, crowning, pregnancy metal and gender pirating. Abortion takes over the conversation naturally from these topics, and Chiara and Kris share their thoughts on the real issues around abortion and autonomy: personhood,  humanity, and freedom. Jacob Rhodes and Kris wrap things up with some Filed Projects news and list of GO DOs.    SHOW NOTES Interviewee Social Handles & Website Chiara No  http://www.chiara-no.com/ @chiara_no_ + @tipper_gore GO DOs Planned Parenthood: Get Involved Afiya Center Texas: TEA Fund Runforsomething (It’s actually a .net, who knew!)

Photography! Poverty Porn! Drawing in Space! Spiderwebs! Field Pod sits down with Field Projects current resident Stacy Kranitz for a talk about her take on documentary photography as a medium best used to question the truth of & in the image. Photographers constantly have to reckon with subjectivity. Stacy explains the ways she has pushed against the medium in her new book AS IT WAS GIVE(N) TO ME, a compilation based on over 12 years spent photographing the community living in the heartland of Appalachia. Incorporating pressed plants, topographic drawings, and preserved spiderwebs alongside her photography and voices drawn from a local newspaper column, Kranitz weaves a complex narrative that opens the history of Appalachia to the reader. Through these juxtapositions of text, image, and drawing a narrative of everyday life emerges in the wake of the systemic capitalist oppression that characterizes this region of the USA.  Before this exciting conversation, Field Projects Co-Directors Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello chat about the residency program and open call process. They talk the gallery/gallerist class system, the origins of Field Projects and the Open Call process, and MONEY and survival in contemporary art.
