    Artists Among Us

    The Whitney Museum of American Art presents Artists Among Us, a podcast about American art and culture. We tell stories revealing the complexities and contradictions that have shaped life in the United States today. 

    Minisodes feature brief conversations about artworks and events in and around the Whitney. The series is ongoing.

    Season 1: Day’s End considers the American artist David Hammons’s sculpture, Day’s End (2014–21) anchored on the banks of Manhattan’s West Side and stretching into the Hudson River. We follow the evolution of the Manhattan coastline through the history of the Meatpacking District, and celebrate the communities that have shaped the neighborhood where the Whitney now stands. This podcast was produced by Sound Made Public in collaboration with the Whitney Museum of American Art.

    Minisode: People Who Stutter Create on their 2024 Whitney Biennial Artwork Jul 30, 2024
    Show notes

    Today we hear from five artists who together form the collective People Who Stutter Create. For their contribution to the 2024 Biennial, the group mobilized the Whitney’s exhibition billboard at 95 Horatio Street, across the street from the Museum and the south end of the High Line. The artists, all of whom stutter, created a public artwork that celebrates the transformational space of dysfluency, a term that can encompass stuttering and other communication differences. In this minisode, we hear from all five artists about their artwork titled Stuttering Can Create Time.
