SJMA PodCast

Artist of the Week 6 - Amy Kaufman


Listen Later

We traveled to Oakland for this episode of Artist of the Week where we were invited into the studio of Amy Kaufman to discuss her artistic process and her piece, "Ice and Shoots" in the SJMA permanent collection. In her bright and welcoming studio we were able to see recent paintings and drawings in various states of progress. We also spoke with the San Jose Museum of Art's Chief Curator, Susan Landauer, who was able to put Kaufman's art into context with the Bay Area art scene and shed some insight on Kaufman's artistic abilities.
During the 8 week run of the exhibition "New Year, New Gifts", the San Jose Museum of Art will offer each week a podcast highlighting one of the artists in the show.
The artist in the series are: Hung Liu, Jack Zajac, Rick Arnitz, Ruth Asawa, Richard Misrach, Amy Kaufman, Helen Lundeburg and Manuel Neri.
We hope that visitors will download these podcasts and bring their iPods into the museum to experience the works first hand with the audio. However, these are enhanced podcasts and if you own an iPod that displays pictures or if you view the podcast in iTunes, you will be able to view images from the collection and images from the interviews. But you can also just listen to the audio and enjoy the insight that each podcast will provide.
If you have any comments or questions please email: [email protected]
The music from this podcast, “Ice Machine”, is by the band The Stella Link and is from their album Mystic Jaguar...ATTACK. Check them out at www.asceticrecords.com.
