Art on the Air

Two big interviews this week!

 

First, we spoke with several members of The Artists and the Truck, a group of men whose history as friends and artists goes back over thirty years, about their current exhibition at Location Gallery.

 

Then we chatted with Samantha Mack from her studio about her upcoming exhibition Through a Kaleidoscope. Although technically a thesis show for her MFA in painting, the artist is bringing a unique show of crochet and light to the gallery at Sulfur Studios.

 

Tune in!

On this week's episode of Art on the Air, we're pleased to present our Field Note with Rule of 3 Gallery Director Stephanie "Sunshine" Forbes and her father Rob Forbes all about Rob's exhibition "Childish Things!"

 

Raised in an orphanage, Rob Forbes childhood was a combination of moments of light and darkness. His latest exhibition at Rule of 3 Gallery is the kind of artistic and personal undertaking that is over fifty years in the making.

 

Meanwhile, for Stephanie Forbes, as both curator of the show and the artist's daughter, the exhibition is a profound moment of connection between here and her dad, and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream of properly showcasing the work of a man who has inspired and raised her.

Kathryn Shriver is a fiber artist, but her use of beads and manufactured and found home goods makes such a qualification too limiting.

 

Join us as we broadcast our Field Note from her space at Sulfur Studios, where the artist will discuss how her grandparents have inspired her work, using beads, and the unexpected reason for her forthcoming move to Pittsburgh.

Gabe Torres is an artist who defies classification, both as a person and as an artist. She's a painter, a mother, a black woman, an environmentalist and so much more, and yet she doesn't fit easily into any box.

 

Join us this week as we broadcast our Field Note with this exciting young creator, recorded live from her studio!

Artist Lila Klinck of Elate Apparel has spent years in the grind, balancing creating her print making business with tending bar. Last year, however, she took the plunge and decided to lease a new space at 2105 Skidaway Road.

 

Join us for this week's episode of Art on the Air as we air our on-location Field Note interview with Klinck, a fascinating tale of hard work, perseverance, and community partnerships that you won't want to miss!

Monica Jane Frisell & Adam Scher have been driving around the United States in a truck, hauling a custom trailer that they've converted into a darkroom and office. At each stop, they're recording stories and taking portraits of the locals, compiling them for their series, "Portrait of US."

 

This month, the pair have brought "the Ark" to Savannah as part of the On::View Residency at Sulfur Studios, and we're delighted to share our Field Note with them for this week's episode of Art on the Air!

 

As a special bonus, Frisell and Scher have sent us four stories that they've recorded during their travels that we'll be airing during the second half of the episode, powerful tales of moments that have had a profound impact on the person doing the telling.

 

Simply put, a can't miss episode!

A fun and interesting interview that you won't want to miss!
