Episode ?: The Many Seasons of Ilona Szwarc
Join Kris, Jacob and Lisa along with guests Ruth Jeyaveeran and Tracy Le as we chat with Ilona Szwarc about her work during Field Residency! We discuss the different experiences Ilona had at Yale and SVA and her latest project on Seasonal Color in Fashion. This work continues her long term exploration of “the expert” in art, fashion, “beauty,” and photography wherein Ilona takes on the role of the expert, casting “look alike” models along side her to create images reflecting the expert who forms and molds pupils to their image. Some of the topics we discuss are:
The first popular book on the seasons is: "Color: The essence of you" by Suzanne Caygill (We HIGHLY recommend checking this out, it’s a wild ride).https://www.amazon.com/Color-Essence-You-Suzanne-Caygill/dp/0890871957
Johannes Itten was a painter and the first person to use the term Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter as it related to color and it was the foundation for the development of seasonal color analysis.
Season 3, Episode 2. INSIDE SPRING/BREAK
Hand-made paper! Ancient Symposia! Bandages! Jade Suits! Cowboys!
Today, Jacob and Kris sit down for a post-Spring/Break interview with artist Fay Ku. Fay was Field Project’s featured artist at Spring Break this year in Axonometric Tongue. Ku’s immersive, axonometric installation proposed a radical alternative to the hegemonic eye of single point perspective. We discuss the ins and outs of Spring Break Art Fair and why this fair is one of the best you can participate in as an artist.
Season 3, Episode 1, SPRING/BREAK with FAY KU
Floating Cities! Perspective! Blood, String & Jade!
On episode 1 of FieldPod season 3 Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello dive into fall and, of course, Spring/Break Art Show with Fay Ku! Fay is Field Project’s featured artist at Spring Break this year in our exhibition Axonometric Tongue. Ku’s immersive, axonometric installation proposes Ming Dynasty art as a radical alternative to the hegemonic eye of single point perspective. Axonometric Tongue flips the hierarchy, generating an alternate, anti-Italian Renaissance timeline wherein single-minded colonialism is eradicated by the contextual poetics of Mandarin structures.
On this episode we talk about Fay’s formative trip to Rome, and her recent return to Italy to teach in Venice for Pratt. How do “museumified” cities affect us? What changes in space when we change our clothing? How do the poetics of the desert play out differently in drawing than the dynamics of the city? Fay discusses how traveling brings you back to who you are and what you want to be. As an artist born in Taiwan and raised in the United States, Fay also discusses stradling White European renaissance ideals as an artist and her connection with axonometric drawing and historical Chinese methods of perspective.
Season 2, Episode 9: Yongqi Tang (Field Resident)
Today on Field Pod, Jacob Rhodes joins one of our Field Residents, Yongqi Tang. They discuss growing up queer/bisexual in Shenzhen, China, having the Sistine Chapel and Rome as one’s first Art experience, Heidegger’s ideas on what makes an artwork, Scoliosis, identity performance, empowerment through connecting to community and empathy, sharing food with your ancestry. And finally searching for queerness in chinese mythology.
Season 2, Episode 8: Ilana Yacine Harris-Babou
Today on Field Pod, Jacob Rhodes sits down with the artist Ilana Yacine Harris-Babou. They talk about growing up in Brooklyn, with a multi generational house of black women, play and its relationship to work, lack and pleasure, the Loren Hill syndrome, Audre Lorde’s “The Use of the Erotic”, finally getting comfortable in your studio, showing old work in a new context, and many other concepts. Join Ilana and Jacob today as they discuss all these questions and topics to learn more about this fascinating artist.

Season 2, Episode 4: WOMEN AT WAR, Art in Ukraine
For this extended short, join Kris Racaniello as they discuss the impactful exhibition Women at War with curator Monika Fabijanska! This show features contemporary women artists who are working in Ukraine today. Monika and Kris discuss the important role of historiography, gender, family, and representation in shaping perceptions of war beyond the boundaries of Monika shares many profound observations about the operation of artists at war, including the the difficulty for artists who are those who try to tell a more nuanced view of history than government or institutions. Artists in Ukraine have carried forward, even today during war with Russia, trying desperately to defend the nuance of history.

Episode 8: THE MOON ALSO RISES, Alexandra Rubenstein
Today on the podcast we are joined by Alexandra Rubenstein, whose current exhibition The Moon Also Rises is up at Mother Gallery in Tribeca through July 16. Discussing the difficulty of both angry and relaxed work in the studio, therapy, gender and figurative painting, and many other important topics. Alexandra is a brilliant, talented artist and we highly recommend you check out the show at Mother, and get to know her work more broadly. Before that Jacob and Kris talk about what’s been happening this past week. They talk about shows, burnout, books, and their personal self-care practices. In the Human Centipede vs. His House horror movie competition, His House wins by a landslide. It’s a very therapeutically-oriented episode!
This is the final episode of season one, but we will already be back next week with a new format for SEASON 2: SUMMER SHORTS. These will be short, 30 minute interviews and talks with either Jacob or I out in the world as we attend art or activist or academic intersecting events throughout the summer.

Episode 7: WITNESSING NARAD, with Jagrut Raval
Immortality! Truth! History! FRRRRREEEEEDDDDOOOOOMMMM!
Today on the podcast we sit down in Field Projects with Jagrut Raval, our current field resident. We talk about history and myth making, as well as the imaginary of immortality and what it might mean to achieve that. Jagrut is an artist(?) history-maker, fabulator, and chronicler. We discuss his work on the figure Narad, who is, possibly, an immortal time traveler. Be prepared for a candid conversation about time travel, truth, comparative religion and our constructed identities. There is also a subtle undertone of language and belief systems as shaping forces behind our world perspectives. But first join Jacob and Kris as they talk about what’s been happening this past week. They talk about the shows they attended both together and separately including The Border Project Space’s opening last Friday featuring Kyoko Hamaguchi: Never Since. Kris talks about the opening of Pamela Sneed at Laurel Gitlen and Alexandra Rubenstien’s new solo exhibition “The Moon Also Rises” at Mother Gallery. Alexandra will be on the podcast next week! So stay tuned for even more discussion of those gorgeous, macho moon paintings. We conclude, as usual, with a list of shows to “go see” right now.

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.

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? Jacob and Kris wrap things up after the interview with a short list of shows to “go see” right now plus a special Beverly’s opening interview!

Episode 3: ABORTION IS (A HUMAN) RIGHT, with Chiara No
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, 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 automony: personhood, humanity, and freedom. Jacob Rhodes and Kris wrap things up with some Filed Projects news and list of GO DOs.

Episode 2: AS IT WAS GIVE(N) TO ME with Stacy Kranitz
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. Jacob and Kris wrap things up after the interview with a short list of shows to “go see” right now!

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.

Episode 0: Field Pod! (TRAILER)
Welcome to Field Pod! This is an ART podcast hosted by Field Projects gallery! The pod features show reviews, interviews with creatives and makers from artists to collectors and our thoughts on the good life and shit to fill your time with, from films to books to daily rituals. It’s a pretty casual, “talkie” podcast, with ample cursing and candid takes on art and life. I’m Kris Racaniello, the editor and producer of Field Pod, and I host this thing with FP founder Jacob Rhodes.
Jacob and I are not shy about our opinions. Early episodes will cover being unhoused, capitalist propaganda, abortion as a right and much, much more. as the editor and producer of the podcast I fact check and provide corrections wherever possible. But mostly, we are in this for the fun of it, for bringing important creative conversations about art, life, and politics to your ears, and mostly, to make ourselves, and I hope you, laugh our asses off.
You can tune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Field Pod.
