Brad Kahlhamer is an artist of indigenous descent, adopted by German-American parents. Being a free spirit, a wanderer and a person with unquenchable curiosity, profoundly shaped his multidisciplinary work. Kahlhamer's art often incorporates themes and imagery from indigenous cultures of the Pacific Northwest and Southwest, aiming tomodernize traditional forms and present them in a contemporary context. In the early 1990s, he used materials like inner tube rubber for sculptures and later transitioned to oil paintings, characterized by thick layers, song lyrics, and primitive figures. His integration of ledger drawings, viewed by him as America’s first graphic novels, is a significant aspect of his work.
Growing up in Arizona, Brad enjoyed a childhood filled with freedom and outdoor adventures, which later fueled his creative expression. Music was integral to his early life, and he pursued it alongside visual arts, deeply influenced by differents bands and musical styles from rock, beat and soul to punk.
In the early 1980s, Kahlhamer moved to New York to immerse himself in the vibrant art scene. There, he worked at Topps Chewing Gum, where he met Art Spiegelman and became involved in the underground comic scene.
Currently, Kahlhamer is working on the Nomadic Studio project, creating a series of 100 Moleskine notebooks filled with drawings and ideas.
Kahlhamer's art uniquely fuses his personal history, and a wide array of cultural influences, making it both deeply personal and broadly resonant. His work spans various media, including monumental paintings, intricate sculptures, installations, and drawings, drawing inspiration from cartoons, pop art, graphic novels, indigenous art, and his prolific sketchbooks.
Brad will showcase paintings and drawings from the 1990s at the Independent 20th Century with Venus Over Manhattan and has a solo show planned with the gallery in 2025.

Squeak Carnwath, *1947, is an artist, painter and printmaker based in Oakland, California.
She will be showing with Jane Lombard at the Independent 20th c, exhibiting her rarely seen works from the 1990s.
We're talking how Squeak discovered her love for making art as a young girl through her curiosity for the materials
surrounding her. She would empty her mother's kitchen cabinets and create big pictures on the kitchen floor, resulting in her first art experience. Growing up on the east coast, the family was moving a lot due to her fathers job, who would support Squeak's artistic talent by bringing back all kinds of art supplies from his business trips. Squeak reflects on her determination and the rebellious act of becoming a woman artist in these times, as well as what it takes to make art on a psychological and material level. Having gone through numerous painting classes at different times in her life and years of training at different universities, she realized that for her the true revelation lies in doing and experiencing for herself. Her art touches on life without imitating it but questioning it, dwelling upon it, not to find answers but to address things and topics that are meaningful to her . Squeak is not interested in replicating what she sees, she considers painting as kind of a „spiritual extension of the soul". Carnwath's works are a hybrid between recognizable
images, text and abstraction, sometimes imitating materials to the point of trompe l'oeil.

Welcome back to the Voices On Art Podcast.
This is the 90th Episode, created in cooperation with
Independent 20th Century.
My guest is Alma Luxembourg, partner of Luxembourg & Co., with galleries in New York City and London and head of the London branch. Luxembourg & Co. already exhibited two times at the Independent 20th Century and will again bring a specially curated project to the 2024 edition of the fair.
Alma grew up in an household filled with art, both parents being avid collectors and friends of artists. Her mother Danielle working for an auction house, being co-chief in an auction house, before founding Luxembourg & Dayan with Amalia Dayan, of which Alma later became a partner as well.
Alma had to find her own way into the art world though and reflects deeply and insightful about this in our talk. Although first studying politics she learned all art related skills in the diverse institutions she worked for – may it be museum like entities, galleries or auction houses. In 2011 Amalia Dayan asked her to partner up with Luxembourg & Dayan, which later was to become the gallery it is now – Luxembourg & Co. The gallery is co-owned by Daniella and Alma Luxembourg, concentrating on private sales and museum-style curated exhibitions by leading modern and contemporary artists.
Alma talks her initial hesitation to follow in the footsteps of her mother, discovering on the way her own passion for art, understanding what she didn't know yet and what she had to learn and meeting people who shared their knowledge, expertise and insights with her.
For Alma and Luxembourg & Co. passion is at the core of everything they do, a deep rooted desire to know more, to dig deeper and to always do the best one can – or not to do it at all. She reflects in depth about her past 20 years in the art world and gives us a glimpse of her plans for the future, in which she hopes she can continue what she already
does, just to have the opportunity to do more of it. For Alma
collaboration, dialogue and a personal, individual approach is key.
The talk was recorded between London and Düsseldorf on June 20, 2024. It was held in english and is about 49 min. long.
If you like Voices On Art please share it with your friends and give us a good rating on your podcast platform. The book I mentioned in this Episode is: “Großes Ey” a novel about the life of Johanna Ey, a Dusseldorf based baker in the first half of the 20th century, who became an important art supporter and dealer. This book is in german, but you may find information about her in english as well.

Janis Provisor is a New Yorker, residing between Connecticut and New York City.
Janis is an accomplished artist with a vast career in the arts, showing in galleries all over the world as well as having her work in many museum collections. Janis will be having a solo-presentation of her work with Halsey McKay at the Independent 2024.
Now in her seventies Janis gathered a lot of experience in art and life and shares her wisdom in our talk.
Being very young she was taken to Museums by Family members. She already felt then she wanted to be an artist, not knowing at all what that was about. She studied at the San Francisco Art Institute, right after the Summer of Love, receiving her MFA in 1971. Although the 70s were a great time for experimenting and going new ways in the artsand society, it was not a great time for women resp. women artists. Janis reflects on how the status of women has changed in the past decades and how much there is still to do.
In 1989, along with her husband and son, she left New York for an adventure in China and Hong Kong, they ended up staying for nine years, running their own company Fort Street Studios in China in the 1990s, designing, manufacturing, and selling hand-knotted silkcarpets. Through all these years she constantly developed and experimented, which helped her finding her individual voice as artist and woman.
Janis often starts her paintings with writing and putting her thoughts, her feelings out on the canvas. In the process of painting those words often get obscured and a physical and emotional process starts, in which Janis let's loose and allows her body to paint the way it needs to. Being jewish, she now processes and expresses her torn feelingsabout the war and the humanitarian crisis in the near east.
For the presentation at the Independent she is now creating a new body of work, which will be as free and open as possible, while still being very concentrated and essential to fit the format of a fair presentation.

Vian Sora b. 1976 in Baghdad, Iraq, is an iraqi-american painter, living and working in Louisville, Kentucky.
Growing up in Baghdad in a kurdish arab family coming from academia and culture, the great and rich Mesopotamian foundation of her cultural heritage is fundamental to her. Her life was enriched by both cultures as well as threatened by the persecution her family experienced. War, violence and death were part of those years, as was the beauty and sublimity her parents tried to install in her life through exposure to culture and art.
Life and death were always on the same plate.
One can't approach Vian's work and her narrative without touching upon her background, which informed
her life and now is also lending itself as backdrop of the work. She uses herself, the bodily, emotional and
psychological experiences she had to go through to transform the hurt and pain into an utterly positive and
energetic lust for life, which is brought into the world through her body and flows into her paintings. Her aim
is to bring beauty and richness out of the horrific past.
Vian talks her migration through many countries, her studies (including Computer Science), her painterly
process, her obsession with color, form, texture, painting and her love for different cultures. She opens
herself up to a cornucopia of influences, landscapes, experiences, filtering it all through the microcosmos of
every cell in her body and releasing it onto the canvas. Her deep color sense, the patterns she finds are beautiful with a
very sophisticated sense of composition, however frequently a dark form lurks in the shadows.
Vian also discusses her solo presentation with David Nolan Gallery at the Independent, which she intends to be
an immersive experience for the viewer – a booth with large scale, vibrant paintings one can't only look
upon, but has to fully encounter.

This is a special episode created in collaboration with Independent NYC.
Anton Svyatsky (b. 1991, Moscow) is an American philosopher, curator, artist studio manager and gallery owner based in NYC. He has worked on, among others, parallel program exhibitions for different Biennials and has organized exhibitions at galleries in Europe and the US. He has been a guest lecturer at diverse Universities and is the studio director of the art collective AES+F.
Anton founded his gallery „Management“ in 2021 partly as reaction on the Covid crisis, partly because his
credentials didn't fit into other galleries job descriptions and partly because his threshold for taking risks has always been exceptionally low. Having the mind of a thinker, being a studied philosopher, he nevertheless turned out to be a self-taught maker and entrepreneur, first in his own design studio as well as now in
his gallery.
Anton reflects on him growing up as the son of a famous artist, dropping out of high school, studying philosophy and, after wearing many hats, „wiggling“ his way into the art world. He believes in serendipity and that doors open for somebody taking risks while at the same time having a plan. Quoting Hannibal
Smith of the A-Team, Anton says: „ I love it when a plan comes together“. Still, he doesn't take the easy road, he is interested in complicating things, playing the devils advocate and therefore chooses artists purely relying on his own taste and unique reaction to their work. Artists whose voices have the potential of becoming loud and being heard. He says: „You want to be part of something great and a gallery is a legitimate way of doing it.“
In our conversation, Anton covers the entire gamut of the art world, leaving us with smart reflections on art, the general gallery model, the voice of artists, the importance of art fairs and their intertwined relations.
At the Independent Art Fair „Management“ will show a solo presentation by Anastasia Komar, on which Anton reflects in depth. He explains the scientific background of her work, it's connections with something like the „divine“, how the works are executed and mentions their eerie beauty.
Anastasia's practice is highly original in both subject matter and execution. It looks at a field that is impenetrable to the layman and translates it into the realm of visceral visual communication that literally halts people in their tracks. With progress toward "divine powers" accelerating at an ever-increasing pace, from genetic modification to artificial intelligence, it is important to occasionally pause and ponder its implications. For Independent, Anastasia is preparing her most ambitious work to date which aims at nothing less than to ensnare the public and lead them to these urgent reflections.

Lingzhi Zhuang is a chinese exhibition maker, project space and gallery owner based in Shanghai.
Her gallery LINSEED was established in 2022, focusing on a younger generation of asian and international artists.
Having studied at Goldsmith's in London, Lingzhi received the call to take a post at Pearl Lam Galleries, one of the most acclaimed galleries in Asia, asking her to move to Shanghai. After several other stations Lingzhi decided during Covid to open her own space and ultimately her gallery LINSEED in 2022. The gallery highlights emerging artists and
fuses asian and western approaches.
Lingzhi relates the beginnings of her project space, the support she received to realize her vision and how she founded her gallery LINSEED in challenging times.
She reflects a new generation in China, to which she herself belongs to. Young people leading nomadic lifes, often going abroad to study in the UK, the US or elsewhere and bringing back those manifold influences to their home country.
She herself attaches great importance on friendship, trust and community. Although having learned her skills in galleries with a more corporate background, she believes in a new way of working together, while still not losing view of the business side of things.
Lingzhi also talks about the solo presentation of Asami SHOJI (b.1988, Japan) which LINSEED will show at Independent New York 2024. It will be featuring Shoji's latest series of daily and gestural paintings
that encapsulate the passing of time and life. Each painting in this series, created in a continuous sequence, represents a specific day or moment, reflecting the artist's state and her environment.

Koen Delaere, b. 1970 Brugges, Belgium is an artist, painter and professor. He lives and works in Tilburg, Netherlands.
For Delaere the body, it‘s unique expressions and sensitivities, the conditions under which it creates etc. are crucial in creating his bold material paintings.
Koen talks his childhood, being a kind of outsider, his need to create and invent from an early age on and his artistic roots in the world of music and punk.
His paintings are made from a realm of physical experience, of direct contact with and reactions on the nature of specific materials (like paint) and an almost performative element of execution.
His exhibition „Just Kids“, with Elisabeth Vary, is on view at VAN HORN, Düsseldorf through March 9, 2024.

A very happy new year and welcome to the first episode of 2024, which at the same time is the last episode of 2023, as it was recorded November 29, 2023.
My guest Tobias Zielony is an artist, photographer, filmmaker, writer and Professor at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg. Tobias relates his background and upbringing in the former industrial area of the Ruhrgebiet, the inheriting of his first camera from his older brother and the different stations of his studies - from his beginnings at one of the best schools for documentary photography in Wales in the UK to studying with Timm Rautert at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig.
Tobias talks his approach towards his artistic projects, building trust with his protagonists and the way he conducts his research. He addresses the small – and big – changes that happened within the media of photography and image making itself during the last decades and reflects this framework and his working within it from the 1990ies to the present day and beyond.

My guest is Christina Végh, who since 2020 is the first woman director of Kunsthalle Bielefeld and before that was the first woman director of Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover. Earlier on she headed the Bonner Kunstverein and worked as a curator at Kunsthalle Basel.
Having been brought up in Switzerland in a cultured family, with relatives in Austria, Hungary, the former Czech Republic and the US, Christina learned early how to brigde differences and translate between languages, cultures and styles of communication. She tried herself in quite some fields, including goldsmithing, but in each of them ended up
being fascinated by the historical aspects. Questioning how what happened before affects us know and shapes what is to come.
She realized exhibitions with artists like Monica Bonvicini, Monika Baer, John Baldessari, Rita McBride, Haegue Yang, Charline von Heyl, Annette Kelm, James Richards, Franz Erhard Walther, Christopher Williams and Nicole Eisenman, to name but a few.
She also was responsible for extensive group exhibitions, like „Where art can happen, the early years of Cal Arts“, co-curated by Philipp Kaiser – who was also a guest on this podcast - and „Made in Germany Drei“. Christina is also active on numerous committees and juries.
In our conversation she talks about the different needs of a Museum vs. a Kunstverein and how art and exhibitions are related to specific places.
One of her core interests, besides art and art history, was always architecture, which is the reason she felt drawn to the post at Kunsthalle Bielefeld, an architectural landmark by Philip Johnson.
She reflects in depth on how she and her team will take on the task of renovating and extending the Museum in a meaningful and functional way. She speaks about the programming during the time the museum is under construction, in which there will be more projects in the city space, „meeting the city on new terms“ and including new types of audiences.
She reflects on the deep need of humans to be connected with art and culture, especially in times of hardship.
Christina Végh is mother of two children and lives with her family in Bielefeld, Germany.

My guest for this special Independent art fair Episode is Nina Johnson, who runs her eponymous gallery in Miami since more than 15 years. Nina was born into a family of business owners on the maternal side, dealing being a part of her DNA. As a child she developed a deep interest in the history and charging of objects and the stories that could be told through them. She decided to become an art dealer and knew, to excell in that field, she needed a deeper understanding of the way artists make work. From her teenage years on she learned and worked at galleries, while through studying art she got the deep knowledge she desired. Nina discusses the importance of personal, long lasting relationships and her dedication to find "her people". For her, place and space of a gallery have to be interrelated and match the hosting City and it's local indvidual characteristics - Nature, Architecture, Neighborhood. She shares her take on art fairs and explores her special admiration for the Independent, where she will show a solo-presentation by artist Rob Davis.

On the occasion of this years' Independent Art fair I’m speaking with Tara Downs, who has been working as a gallerist in different cities and developed her own approach through many phases and stages. Tara talks her passion of working in the artworld, the benefits and the downfalls, her philosophy on team building, excellence, embracing challenges and being invigorated by change. She states that her gallery is much bigger than her - the team, the artists and collectors being part of a greater whole. At the Independent Tara Downs will show four women artists dealing with sexuality, pornography and feminism, opening up spaces for discourse and dispute.
This Episode is produced in cooperation with Independent Art Fair, New York City and will be part of the fairs OVR for it's upcoming 2023 edition.

On the occasion of this years' Independent Art fair I’m speaking with D’Angelo Lovell Williams (b. 1992, Jackson, Mississippi) who is a Black, HIV-positive artist expanding narratives of Black and queer intimacy through photography. D'Angelo will have a presentation with Higher Pictures Generation at the Independent.
We talk their upbringing in Jackson, Missisippi, their early love for images and objects and how the path lead through years of art courses to Art School and creating work as artist and photographer. They discuss being black and queer and how the representation of black, queer and non-mainstream bodies in mainstream visual culture is lacking. They identify as non-binary, they don’t want to be identified as male ore female as they feel these terms are limiting, creating prejudices and expectations of male and female roles and make only sense for animals in a biological way.
D'Angelo creates images they themselves want to see - being aware they might not be for everybody. Images that speak of family, history, black men, love, sex, softness, tenderness, beauty and maybe sometimes sadness or pain.
This Episode is produced in cooperation with Independent Art Fair, New York City and will be part of the fairs OVR for it's upcoming 2023 edition.

On the occasion of this years' Independent Art fair in New York im speaking with Jessica Stoller. She is an artist working in an elaborate way with clay. She mines the rich and complicated history of porcelain, which she often displays in overwhelming installations and tableaus. Jessica will be having a solo exhibition with PPOW at this years Independent.
Growing up in the suburbs of Detroit the lure and power of making things things with her own hands created meaning and served as a refuge and escape from monotony and conformity of Suburbia for Jessica. She was very comfortable spending time alone having her own inner world and being fascinated with materials and beautiful objects. Growing up catholic, she discusses how the imagery of catholizism influenced her and how visiting an all girls catholic school was very intense, but also empowering and subtly feminist.
We discuss her manifold interests and her research about the female body, her own body, the relationship to the world, girl culture, materialism, the meaning of objects, sexism and sexist language, authoritarian regimes and misogyny, decoration, beauty, the grotesque, witch trials, wise women - to which her work at Independent will speak to. She talks her love of clay as material and the special care and attendance it needs and how she explores through it what it means to be a human, a woman in the world at this time and place.

Working in the realm of figurative sculpture, Jessica Stoller (b. 1981) mines the rich and complicated history of porcelain, harnessing its links to power, desire, and taste. Synthesizing the cultural, historical, and corporeal notions of the female body, Stoller expands the feminist visual vernacular and makes space for subversion, defiance, and play. For Stoller the ‘grotesque’ becomes a powerful tool to challenge patriarchal power structures, as female figures flaunt what they are told to hide, reveling in their own pleasure and abjection. Stoller lives and works in West New York, NJ.

On the occasion of this years' Independent Art fair in New York I'm speaking to John Corbett co-founder – with Jim Dempsey - of the gallery Corbett vs. Dempsey in Chicago.
John discusses his deep and ongoing interest in experimental and improvised music, his getting in touch with art through teaching at the Art Institute and how meeting Jim, with his background in film, led to a natural collaborative spirit in founding the gallery (with it's own record label) which carries through until today.
Corbett vs. Dempsey were coming up in Chicago, a city within which culture is often undertaken as a Community based practice and their working together reflect that respect for all people involved. John speaks about the importance that the history and cultural legacy of Chicago has in forming the galleries attitude and programm and the special working condition Chicago provides. He explains the unexpected ways in which the artists and musicians they work with inspire each other. The gallery is deeply interested in the historical, not only referring to histories of the past, but also paying attention to histories being written right now and being part of that new history being written. They highlight the role Archives play in writing and re-writing histories and making things visible. John and Jim only do and show what they love, their gallery runs on enthusiasm and the belief in what they're doing.

Shownotes:
Corbett vs. Dempsey LLC was founded by Jim Dempsey and John Corbett in Chicago in September 2004. Since opening, Corbett vs. Dempsey has presented a range of international artists and artists connected with the historical and contemporary legacy of Chicago. Creative music has always been a feature of the gallery's activities; in addition to having its own record label, CvsD is proud to represent Peter Brötzmann and the estate of Sun Ra. Corbett vs. Dempsey's record label features a mixture of new recordings and CD reissues of out-of-print LPs, CvsD's offerings focus on jazz, free jazz, and improvised music; occasional rock and rock-related noise; artist-related projects; sound art; and some experimentally minded dub. Many of the releases continue the archival work that John Corbett did with his Unheard Music Series, released under the Atavistic label starting in the late '90s.
Corbett has taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) since 1988. He was artistic director of Berlin JazzFest 2002, co-curated the Empty Bottle Jazz Series from 1996 to 2005, and was co-curator of Pathways to Unknown Worlds: Sun Ra, El Saturn, and Chicago’s Afro-Futurist Underground, 1954-1968.
For over 20 years, Dempsey was the house manager and occasional programmer at the Gene Siskel Film Center, Chicago. He is an alumnus of SAIC.
Together Corbett and Dempsey have been involved in many independent curatorial projects.
