This episode is the next to last to be broadcast over the airwaves eminating from WVKR, Vassar College Radio in Poughkeepsie. The podcast version of the show will continue, possibly in a modified format and in the frequency of releases. Matthew has been busy participating in Simon Draper's (Simon appeared in Show #26) Habitat for artists which has been in DC part of Biodivercity, curated by Amy Lipton of EcoArtSpace as a part of the 5x5 project happening throughout Washington DC.
JD Dreyer of Phantom 8 Tattoo did not tattoo unicorns or butterflies on Chris's body....he did, however tattoo these things:
Gerhard Richter Painting is showing at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck, NY through April 19. Season 6 of Art 21 has begun, viewable on PBS. Chris mentions the recent 60 Minutes segment presented by that art curmudgeon, Morley Safer's, on the art market from Art Basel Miami Beach. This recent report follows up Safer's original 1993 indictment of the contemporary art world. There's a follow up video on the 60 Mins website depicting a tour of the Rubell Collection given to Safer by the Rubells themselves, trying to convince him of the merits of contemporary art Chris contrasts the curmudgeonly with the considered. He mentions - again - Kirk Varnedoe's 6 part lecture series at the National Gallery from 2003 - which he has listened to, yet again. (Chris mentioned this lecture series originally in Show #36) Thomas Kinkade died a couple of weeks ago - in almost diva Whitney-style. It's a loss that wouldn't have registered as such for Chris, if his relatives didn't keep bringing it up. Chris talks about his visit to the Clifford Still Museum in Denver, CO. and mentions trying to come to terms with Still's paintings at the Met- the one of the few places to see a gathering of the artist's works. Some of Still's early figures struck Chris as being torn from the scenes of Jim Henson's Dark Crystal movie - at least those elder lizard-thing characters. Chris mentions the Georgia O'Keefe museum in contrast to the restrictive programming of the Still museum The Still Museum sits in the morning shadow of the Daniel Liebeskind designed Hamilton Building expansion of the Denver Art Museum. Chris has ranted about the new building's shortcomings on his personal blog in the past. The building via google image search. Chris has a conversation with Ken Hamel to get a taste of the the kind of art community that exists in Denver, CO. Ken and Chris meet at The Deer Pile, an independently curated community event space. Ken Hamel's website denverarts.org is a comprehensive listing of art events and exhibitions throughout Denver. In the mid 80's Ken was a DJ on WVKR under the name of Kenny Lee. The things Ken and Chris discuss include: The video of the Smith's song How Soon Is Now, edited at Vassar College. Troma Films Toxic Avenger 2 & 3 and War filmed in Peekskill, NY. MCA Denver (Museum of Contemporary Art), - The Lab at Belmar... The Lab, run by Adam Lerner was folded into the MCA Denver when Lerner was appointed director of MCA. The NY Times recently featured a profile of Lerner. Denver's diminishing art writing sources: Michael Paglia at Westword Leann Goebel's blog Mike and Doug Starn at RMCAD ...Big Bambu at the Met. Chris photographed images of the Big Bambu project when it was being developed at the Starns' studio located in the former Tallix Art Foundry in Beacon, NY. Big Bambu in Beacon on Maykr.comhttp://maykr.blogspot.com/search?q=big+bambu Denver's coop scene has characterized the art life in that city for Decades. Back in 2006, Chris organized an exchange exhibit between artists in and around Beacon, NY with artist members of the Denver coop gallery EDGE.
The Deer Pile, where Ken and Chris spoke was voted Best New Community Space by readers of the Denver weekly Westword. The Deer Pile will play host to denverarts.org's 5yr Anniversary fundraiser on May 15th. Santa Fe Arts District Rhino LoDo

The First segment of this week's show continues the last show's theme of taking a break from art. First, Chris, along with artists Mark DeLura, Peter Acheson (who joined us on the road trip DHRH Episode #30), and Deirdre Swords pay a visit to the studio of Joel Schapira in Connecticut. Joel tells us about his three month break from painting - which unexpectedly stretched out for two + years. Below are images from our studio visit with Joel showing some of the works you hear us discuss in this segment. The captions for the studio visit shots were written by Joel. This first image is of a painting of a painting - in the same family as the one that finally brought Joel's painting hiatus to an end.
The method of Joel's creating the pair of works recalls (in Chris' mind) Rauschenberg's exercise in the works Factum I & Factum II from 1957:
Our audio studio visit concludes with us looking at these two large, pre-hiatus paintings hanging in his living room.
A few more images from our studio visit can be found here.
Next, we hear from Tom Eccles, executive director of Bard College's Center for Curatorial Studies & Hessel Museum of Art, on what exhibits will be coming in this, the 20th Anniversary year of the Bard CCS program, starting with the Matters of Fact exhibit that opened this past weekend. Finally, we revisit a moment from our interview with Duncan McKenzie of Bad at Sports from (DHRH Episode #1) which sets up an excerpt from Tyler Green's new Modern Art Notes Podcast.
Tyler appeared in our show on Cy Twombly (DHRH Episode #17). The excerpt we hear comes from the Dec 22, 2011 episode of the MANpodcast in which Tyler and the writer, Andrew Russeth, list their favorite art viewing spaces in America. Number one on Andrew's list is the Fred Sandback galleries at Dia:Beacon. Andrea Fraser's essay: Why Fred Sandback's Work Makes Me Cry. MAN Podcast Links: http://modernartnotespodcast.libsyn.com/ In this segment, Chris mentions: Bob Edwards' interview with Richard Serra in May 2011. Kirk Varnedoe's 6 part Mellon Lecture: Pictures of Nothing: Abstract Art Since Pollock at the National Gallery of Art from 2003. The MAN Podcast episode featuring Richard Serra. Thanks to Tyler for letting us use the snippet of the MAN Podcast. Thanks to Tom Eccles for joining us and thanks to Joel Schapira for letting us all into his home for this episode. Also, thanks to the Erthlyngz and Vybrainsee for the Dead Hare musical segments PS, Peter Acheson and Deirdre Swords are teaming up to produce a new art blog: forminthefire.blogspot.com

So how are we with our New Years resolutions? Still holding strong in March? Or is writing the check each month to pay for your membership as close as you get to the gym? We at the Dead Hare Radio Hour were curious what kind of rules artists where proposing for themselves with 2012. One of the interesting results of snooping around the web was that we saw several artists considering the idea of taking a year away from art. What does that mean? Why would you do it? What rules do you follow? How does that effect the people we are? We have to thank Eve Mosher for placing these questions in your minds. So we turned to Eve, Jason Eppink, and Deborah Fisher, all successful artists and creatives, to discuss what a year without art might look like. Topics that came up in discussion Art as a form of identity and the definitions we use to define us. Balance Reflection Mythologizing and Narrativizing our work. Innovation and art’s role in culture shifts Process Maurizio Cattelan

In addition to David Rothenberg, the Wonder Cabinet participants are: Ofer Tchernichovski (Chris recorded a great conversation between David and Ofer who have collaborated together in exploring birdsong...all we can say is that you had to be there. You REALLY HAD TO BE THERE to hear this great conversation since Chris inadvertently deleted the audio recorded of the conversation which was intended for an episode of. Dead Hare Radio) The song heard in this episode is Trio Menura from Rothenberg's CD Why Birds Sing. (Bonus hint: The CD comes included with the book Why Birds Sing. David mentions that his Wonder Cabinet is based on Lawrence Weschler's Wonder Cabinet events. The books by Rothenberg mentioned in the conversation: Next, we have two conversations about the dance work of Yvonne Rainer. We hear from Choreographer, dancer and writer Susan Osberg and Kelly Kivland, Curatorial Associate at the Dia Foundation. These conversations relate to the upcoming performances of Rainer works being hosted at Dia:Beacon on Feb 25 & 26, 2012.
Susan Osberg From Chris' conversation with Susan: Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis Judson Dance founders mentioned by Susan: David Gordon Meredith Monk Trisha Brown Simone Forte Steve Paxton Lucinda Childs along with Yvonne Rainer and others (Dead Hare aside: Billy Name, featured in Dead Hare Episode 8 did the lighting for the Judson performances.) A handful of Yvonne Rainer's films, including Hand Movie (which gives Chris the creeps, for some reason), along with audio and other documentations can be seen at Ubuweb.com (http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp_a=sp10042f50&sp_q=yvonne+rainer&sp_p=all&sp_f=UTF-8) Rainer's No Manifesto (via wikipedia):
The Boris Groys talk, Everybody is an Artist, which Chris mentions was given at SVA in 2010. (See the video of Groys's talk on Vimeo) Susan references the deaths of three leaders of the dance world; Merce Cunningham, Pina Bausch, Kazuo Ohno Susan's dance company Workwith Dancers will be presenting a performance called TREE at Beacon Yoga in Beacon NY in late March, and early April. Here's the info, but there is more on Susan's website,(click the link above).
At this point in the show, we take a little break...... And we're back:

This week's show is the very special Dead Hare Radio Hour Christmas Thing/ Holiday Show. Inspired by Chris' annual Christmas Thing sculptures, this episode is a little bit of a patchwork....
Christmas Thing 2011, by Chris Albert We start sitting around the bonfire at the Slaats family solstice party. Chris and Matt are Joined by DHRH contributor Sara Anderson Lock and Chad Fust. Chris' original idea was to treat the listeners to an hour long medley of bad art related press releases set to all our favorite xmas tunes. He begins to sing some lyrics from a release for some exhibit called "Spacewomb" to the tune of "Up on the Rooftop"... and then thinks better of it. (Not to worry, though. He's determined to make this work for next year. Thanks to Paddy Johnson of ArtFagCity.com and Ken Hamel of Denverarts.org for contributing some brilliant press release candidates. Here's a rundown of relevant links and notes for this episode: The Owl Project's 2012 Cultural Olympiad commission is nearing it's completion. Sara interviewed the group back in Episode 19. Steve Rossi talks about the Occupy Wall St. Arts & Culture Committee. More information at: wallstreetoccupennial.tumblr.com

Coming into the holiday season, we at the Dead Hare Radio Hour were asking ourselves what we valued most about this time of year. Family visits? Stockings hung by a fire? Presents under the tree? Mistletoe? This was something we had to think about for a little while as there are so many good and bad things revolving around us at the moment. But, if we had to pick one, the consensus would be food. With waist bands growing and New Years resolutions not too far off, we thought what better than think about the role of food in the arts and as a part of culture. We caught up with the editor of Edible Hudson Valley, Eric Steinman. Who gives us a smattering of treats about food in the Hudson Valley and broader culture. Then we spoke with Tracy Candido. Provocateur of food centered art projects such as Sweet Tooth of the Tiger and the Community Cooking Club. Notes from our talk with Eric Steinman Poughkeepsie Farm Project Things mentioned in our conversation with Tracy Candido. Marina Abromovic - Creative Time and LAMOCA projects

In a time when the idea of alternatives is ever present, we at Dead Hare thought it might be interesting to try to define how an alternative art practice might be defined. How are artists moving away from the art market and tourism focused cultural production. So we reached out to one of the foremost curators delving into these ideas. That being Nato Thompson.
After Nato we sat down with Jean Brennan, Steve Rossi, and Angelika Rinnhoffer to flesh out how alternative art practices are being played out in the Hudson Valley. In this conversation we discuss the why and how a practice like this is established with specific questions about where the need for such a practice is growing and its moral grounding.

This week is an exciting mix of art talk derived from an event at the Beacon Art Salon that took place earlier in the summer of 2011. Organized by Stacy Ward Kelly, the Beacon Art Salon was an ongoing series of conversation between artists in the Hudson Valley about their work. The word "was" is important here as the salon is now fading into the ether of history as Stacy has sadly left us for far off places. We wish her good luck. In what was the last session, Simon Draper and Elia Gurna both talk about their artistic practice. Both are engage in a more direct, participatory way of working that includes the community in the production of their art. Throughout their talk they dig deeply into what it takes to develop such a practice and how they've come to realize the importance of working in these ways.

This week on the Dead Hare Radio Hour we speak with musical innovator Pauline Oliveros. Pauline has long been on the leading edge of sonic composition working with the leading minds in music. The bio on her website describes her in these terms . . . Pauline Oliveros, composer, performer and humanitarian is an important pioneer in American Music. Acclaimed internationally, for four decades she has explored sound -- forging new ground for herself and others. Through improvisation, electronic music, ritual, teaching and meditation she has created a body of work with such breadth of vision that it profoundly effects those who experience it and eludes many who try to write about it. "On some level, music, sound consciousness and religion are all one, and she would seem to be very close to that level." John Rockwell Oliveros has been honored with awards, grants and concerts internationally. Whether performing at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., in an underground cavern, or in the studios of West German Radio, Oliveros' commitment to interaction with the moment is unchanged. We had the pleasure of delving into her recent work that allows the physically impaired to create music with computer technology, what Deep Listening really means, and unique moments that have come to define her career.

On this week's show, Chris interviews Gary Ferdman and Rik Rydant, two residents of High Falls, NY (located North and West of New Paltz, NY and South and East of Kingston, NY). Gary and Rik have been passionately researching the details of the period of time – two and a half years – from 1946-1948 in which the artist Marc Chagall lived with his companion, Virginia Haggard, in the Hamlet of High Falls.
Although a period that was long overlooked, even ignored (Chagall's subsequent wife Vava sought to erase the existence of Virginia Haggard - a woman he never married, but who is the mother of his son, David – from accounts of the artist's life), Chagall's time in the rural setting of High Falls was an extremely prolific one in which he created, by Gary and Rik's count approximately 100 significant works.
The D & H Canal Museum in High Falls is presenting a documentary exhibit “Chagall in High Falls”, opening on September 3, with a reception happening that day from 5-8pm, then running through Oct 30. A series of public events and talks will be held in connection with the exhibit. The exhibit will feature documents linked to Chagall's life in High Falls, photographs by Charles Leirins documenting the period, and official reproductions of artwork created by Chagall in High Falls. A special fundraising dinner in honor of Chagall will be presented by John Novi at the Depuy Canal House The podcast of this week's show features the extended interview with Gary and Rik which couldn't all fit into the broadcast version. The bonus material includes more material on Chagall and the process by which Rick and Gary came to be so consumed by this story in the Hudson Valley.
Some items referred to in this episode: The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz Vivian Jacobson, official Chagall lecturer, gave a talk at SUNY New Paltz in March, after which she, Rik and Gary were part of a panel with Dorsky curator, Brian Wallace discussing Chagall in High Falls. Varian Fry helped arrange to have Chagall and other European artists to escape Nazi controlled Europe, bringing them to the US with his Emergency Rescue Committee (later known as the International Rescue Committee). Bella Chagall, Marc's first wife is buried in a cemetary in Hastings-on-Hudson in Westchester County, NY. Virginia Haggard's great uncle Rider Haggard wrote King Solomon's Mines .. brother an actor. Sidney Alexander first made mentioned Virginia Haggard and encouraged her to write her own account of her life with Chagall, which was published as: My Life With Chagall: Seven Years with the Master as Told by the Woman Who Shared Them. Chagall by Franz Meyer, Benjamin Harshav's upcoming book Chagall in America is likely to incorporate information about Chagall in High Falls unearthed by Rik and Gary.
The Pierre Matisse archive at the Morgan Library. Mohonk which provided Chagall's son David's sole, surreptitious, souvenir from his early life in NY. Fleurs Bella – the flower shop in NYC, owned by Chagall's granddaughter Bella Meyer.

Get ready to hit the Mean Streets err... Main Street in Beacon, NY.
This week, Chris is joined on a walking tour and review of the Windows on Main St by Steve Rossi, Jennifer Mackiewicz, Matt Kinney and Angelika Rinnhofer. Now in it's seventh year, Windows on Main St. is a store front window based exhibit of artist installations. This year's exhibit, organized by Melissa Tatge and Hannah Anderson features the work of over 40 artists. Our intrepid group strolls and chats about half of the exhibit (stay tuned for the second half very soon).
This is a rough and ready recording this week. Aside from a few adjustments to sound levels, this weeks audio has not been cut or edited....to the shagrin of Chris who finds that he was simply hogging the mic and was unable to finish many of his own sentences while, at the same time, seemingly trying to make this entire episode be all about him (he's the host of the show - and holder of the mic. He's a participating artist in this year's WOMS exhibit, and he co-founded the exhibit in 2005 with Karlos Carcamo (with whom we spoke in Episode 4), all of which is highly unbecoming of a seemingly objective radio host.
Some images (some of them bad) of some of the things we saw.
Check back shortly for images of the artwork the group viewed on their tour.

Dead Hare Goes Global in this weeks podcast. We take a wee jaunt to Manchester, England where Sarah Anderson Lock speaks with The Owl Project. The Owl project is a “collaborative group of artists who share interests in human interaction with technology and process led art. The group currently consists of Simon Blackmore, Antony Hall and Steve Symons. Over the last few years we have become known for a distinctive range of wooden musical and sculptural instruments that critique human interaction with computer interfaces and our increasing appetite for new and often disposable technologies.” So if you ever wondered what a iPod might look like in a wood version, you need to check out these guys. Sarah talks with the group about a very exciting project they have going called Flow, which is a part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad in London. I’ll let the interview speak for itself. We are hoping to also get some of their music up here in a jiffy. Enjoy!

This week the Dead Hare Radio Hour welcomes Sarah Anderson Lock to the show as a roving reporter and artistic instigator. She will be helping us to cover various goings on in the Northern reaches of the Hudson Valley from her post in Gallatine, NY. For her first show she proposed bringing a group of artists together who recently completed the New York Foundation for the Arts MARK program. This program is a series of professional development workshops that teach artists the ways of the world, covering everything you don’t learn in a typical fine arts education. Having been an alumni of the program I (Matthew) was excited to hear more about how things have progressed. We begin with a conversation between Sarah, Matthew and Greg Lock (Sarah’s husband, artists and MARK 08 alumni) about the program. Then we have a group discussion with members of the just completed MARK 11 group from Woodstock - Nathan Meltz, Keiko Sono, Thorsten Dennerline, Michael Forster-Rothbart, and Susy Sureck. Our conversation focuses on the role that nature and technology plays in their work.

Bik Van der Pol: "Are you really sure a floor can't also be a ceiling?" 2010 Enel Prize at MACRO in Rome.
image courtesy of MACRO
This week, Chris is joined in the garden of MoMA by Liesbeth Bik and Jos Van der Pol who, together, are the collaborative duo Bik Van der Pol. Bik Van der Pol were the artists in residence at CCS Bard this past Spring. Their 2008 exhibition project at the Hessel Museum in 2008, "I've Got Something in My Eye" had some unintended consequences; one being an uproar debating the relative value of artists to birds and two, the near liberation of Pinocchio (which I have posted about before).
image via the blog called : _____________ which also has a detailed, first hand description of the caper. Since I'm such a fan of this moment, I'm embedding the video again here for your viewing pleasure: All of the previous projects that Jos and Liesbeth mention in the interview are documented in their website. Take some time and dig around in there to find out more. Bik Van der Pol's current project, Too little, too late, (and how) to fail gracefully is on exhibit at the Kunstfort Asperen through September 25, 2011. They're scheduled to open their contribution to Creative Time 's Living As Form project in New York's Lower East Side in September. Special thanks to Ryan Magyar for being our attentive studio audience for this interview. In the event you haven't heard of them, this is Eva & Adele....another artistic duo - of another sort. Thanks to v<o>brainsee (Dead Hare Theme & Dead Hare Prayer) and the Erthlyngz (Jam to the Present Tense )for their musical stylings in this episode.

Items mentioned in the conversation with Peter: Tino Sehgal at the Guggenheim Museum Richard Tuttle's interview on WPS1 Art Radio Lawrence Weiner's talk at the Tate Modern Jeanne Demers reads a poem in Peter's bedroom
Then Chris reminisces about his visit last Spring to the studio of AIR in the Clock Tower Gallery in NYC...unfortunately, you'll have to take his word for it on this one. He does manage to get audio of a quick interview with STO, an artist and one half of the noise band Dub Know Dub which was in residence at the Clock Tower Gallery at the time.

This week’s show is a wrap up, a culmination, a send off of Benjamin Krevolin as he departs from his position as the President of the Duthcess County Arts Council and moves onto greener pastures at Vassar College. Matthew spoke with Benjamin last week to glean a bit of wisdom before he departs at the end of this week.
Benjamin began his tenure at the Arts Council in 2003 and has seen it grow from a small entity into a focal point of arts engagement and advocacy throughout the Hudson Valley. He talks with us about problems he sees with DIY culture eroding people’s concept of how art is created, goes into depth about the problems in publicaly support for the arts, and adds some advice for his successor. Here are some names mentioned in the conversation Lewis Krevolin - Benjamin's Father (we think)

Why is the show called the Dead Hare Radio Hour? Duncan McKenzie of Bad at Sports asked us the same thing: We settled upon Dead Hare for a number of reasons. It is in part an homage toJoseph Beuys and his work 1965 performance “How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare.”
Joseph Beuys, How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare (26 November 1965), The image of the hare (living and dead) has populated works throughout the history of art. One aspect of Beuys’ piece is the allusion to this presence and, by default, we’re doing the same.
Dirk Valkenburg, Still life with dead Hare and Partridges 1717 In regard to Beuys’ piece, the homage we’re paying is to an aspect of that work that Beuys certainly did not intend; the futility of it all. The futility of discussing visual culture on the radio is our project. Another appealing quality of the name is its opacity. For those unaware of its reference to Beuys’ work it renders a fugitive image in the mind of the beholder. Hare or hair? Indeed, there’s a strong relationship between the genre of radio station one listens to and the hairstyle one sports on one’s head and we are honoring that synchronicity. Also, Dead Hare has a lovely semblance of the term “dead air” – a constant reminder to us now we’re on the radio. And no. We don’t liken our audience to a dead hare.
