Utopia! Racism! Cold War! + The American Dream!
Today, Field Projects Co-Directors Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello cover their trip to Staten Island, Snug Harbor, and last week's studio visits with Siobhan McBride and Natalie Wadlington. Then the FP team interviews artist Johannah Herr with her co-author and collaborator Cara Marsh Sheffler. Herr’s solo show I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE is on view at Field Projects gallery through May 21, 2022. They talk about the 1939 and 1964 world's fairs that took place in Flushing NY–– a discussion covering consumerism, capitalism, collaborations between and across mediums, segregation and the racist history of housing policy, plus daring to dream of the future. Jacob and Kris wrap things up after the interview with a short list of shows to “go see” right now!
