  • MacDowell—Creative Crucible for Art and Artists

    In summer 2012, we travel to New England to visit MacDowell, a New Hampshire retreat for artists, writers, and composers. We're among hundreds of visitors gathered on Medal Day, August 12, 2012, to honor contemporary photographer Nan Goldin. After a picnic on the great lawn, we spend the afternoon following forest trails to the cabin studios of summer Fellows. Kyla Chevrier, West Moss, Bettina Johae, Kate Moore, and Sebastian Currier take turns describing their MacDowell experiences.

  • Fresh Talk: Agnes Meyer-Brandis
    In Berlin, Cathy Byrd meets German artist Agnes Meyer-Brandis in the control tower of Tempelhof, an abandoned airport at the edge of the city, to see the artist's installation "Up In the Air: Control Room Tempelhof." Agnes fuses pure science and creativity to explore the zone between fact and fiction, fantasy and technology. So far, her projects have taken Agnes to the U.S., Russia, Brazil, Switzerland, Austria, Argentina and Australia. The artist rarely works in a typical studio or gallery setting. You're more likely to find Agnes exploring the poetics of glaciers beneath ice skating rinks and raising moon geese.

  • Sarah Hobbs on Human Obsessions

    Cathy Byrd speaks on Skype with photographer Sarah Hobbs on a night when Sarah is testing materials she collected for Overpacked, a set of site-specific installations to be on view in Midtown Atlanta for a few days next week. Sarah's interest in human obsessions has led her to depict a range of neuroses and human foibles. Known for immersing her viewers in large scale photographs staged in familiar domestic interiors, this time, Sarah invites us into an experiential space: three hotel rooms that appear to be occupied by individuals trying very hard to make themselves feel at home.
