Sewn Into Daily Life: An Interview with Erick Medel

Erick Medel doesn’t just take pictures, he sews them. Through a unique process involving denim and brightly colored threads, Medel documents through photography his Boyle Heights neighborhood in Los Angeles and finds the most mundane city scenes to then transform into highly detailed works that come from his sewing machine rather than oil paint. On the occasion of his solo show, Vidas, on view at Charlie James Gallery, we talked to Erick about his relationship with his neighborhood as he painstakingly … Continue reading “Sewn Into Daily Life: An Interview with Erick Medel”

Radio Juxtapoz, ep 099: Moral Fibres as Love Welcomes and Migrate Art Come Together

In celebration of the Moral Fibres collaboration between the charitable organizations Migrate Art and Love Welcomes, Radio Juxtapoz took a moment to speak on how they each have found a place in both the art world and philanthropic, activist spaces. As the two created a series of scarfs with the artists Chloe Early, Lakwena, Camille Walala and Sara Shamma, where each designed a “beautiful crepe de chine silk scarf, handmade by the incredible team of refugee women at Love Welcomes,” … Continue reading “Radio Juxtapoz, ep 099: Moral Fibres as Love Welcomes and Migrate Art Come Together”

Angela Anh Nguyen Slays Softly: Are You Tuft Enough?

Angela Anh Nguyen is a self-educated textile artist referencing colonial hypocrisy, death metal and a wild array of perspectives. She stays tough while tufting, broaching hardcore topics with  soft materials. Her utilitarian, substantive rug art is imbued with a fierce objective and a dedicated hand. If any artist could be described by the old adage, “kicking ass and taking names,” Angela is the one.

Radio Juxtapoz, ep 057: Radical Tradition and a Conversation About American Quilts and Social Change

There are  those moments, the ones we literally designate as those where history stops and becomes a chapter. In America, you talk of 9/11, Pearl Harbor, Kennedy and MLK being shot, the night Obama was elected. This past Saturday may have been another, when the media call that Biden had won the electoral college sent seismic waves throughout the world. Those instantaneous moments in history change life in that moment.

Radio Juxtapoz ep 053: Reinventing, Reimagining and Retelling the American Story with Bisa Butler

It’s a new season here at Radio Juxtapoz, and where we were hoping that Fall would bring back art openings and a sense of normalcy to our already tumultuous year, we are still a bit in flux. This month we released our newest Fall 2020 Quarterly edition with cover artist Bisa Butler, whose phenomenal and critically-acclaimed year has become symbolic of the transitions Americans have experienced in terms of social justice this past summer. The murders of Breonna Taylor, George … Continue reading “Radio Juxtapoz ep 053: Reinventing, Reimagining and Retelling the American Story with Bisa Butler”
