This
week I talk to the artist Angela
Conant. Angela is an
artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. I became familiar with
Angela’s work recently when we were on a panel together at Boston
University. I enjoy looking at her work bc it has such a meditative
quality. Angela works fluidly across mediums, from marble sculpture
to paintings and video. Her work parodies the politics of gender
and media. Part of the reason I react so strongly to her work is
the fact that the work contains social commentary in a reflective
sense. It is the opposite of our currently over-amped media world.
From her sculptures to videos, to her interactive installation
pieces, there is a quiet strength that I read in her
work.
