Shala Miller Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

It was a little strange getting together with Shala Miller in the same space we’d met in less than a year ago. It was Farah Al Qasimi’s opening at Helena Anrather’s gallery, and the room was packed. This time, we were in the same space, but it was filled with Shala’s things instead - stuff for her to work on and during residency she was doing at the gallery. The room had different workstations that were set up, which made sense to me given Shala’s practice. She is a multi-disciplinary artist working with photography, film and music, which she makes under the name Freddie June. As I’ve gotten more and more into her work, I’ve discovered that It’s the tapestry of it all that makes it so compelling and rich. Shala is a native of Cleveland, Ohio, studied at SAIC in Chicago and École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris before pursuing her MFA at Bard. She currently lives and works in New York.

Moyra Davey Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

While preparing to interview Moyra Davey, I started to really try and figure out what it is that I love so much about her work.

Is it that she is able to deal with the most mundane, everyday subject matter in such a personal, unpretentious, electrifying, simple and complex way?

Is it her subject matter that’s so appealing? Artists that she’s interested in, diaries, ephemera, hang-ups, let downs, preocupations, inspirations, quotes, books? Is it that she speaks of those things in the first place?

Is it her form? The simple elegance of it which is a through line in all her work from the writing to the films to the mailers.

“I’m trying to write in the forms of the work I want to read” she writes in her title essay of her recent book Index Cards published by New Directions. That seems like such a simple and easy thing to do, but it’s really the most challenging place to get to.

Moyra was born in Toronto in 1958, grew up in Montreal and lives in New York now, where she’s been for some 30 years.

She is the recipient of a 2020 Guggenheim Fellowship and just last month, she opened a major retrospective at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.
