It is uncommon we get an artist to come back out of retirement for a Radio Juxtapoz podcast, however there we had been in Aberdeen, Scotland this previous weekend with the pioneering and legendary artist SWOON. She did not retire per se; she retired from avenue artwork. The consuming nature of the artwork type she felt took her away from different inventive shops she needed pursue, like installations, philanthropy, museum exhibitions, gallery work, collaboration and now, animation and movie. However for Nuart Aberdeen, she acquired again within the sport for every week for a collection of wheat-pastes that felt so acquainted, it was like seeing an outdated pal after years away. Maybe it’s the Caledonia in her title that acquired her impressed in Scotland? With a theme this yr with the competition being the thought of “re-wilding,” let’s convey again an pillar of avenue artwork again to the … streets.
SWOON is not only a legend, she modified the best way avenue artwork was checked out, how people and craft components might be utilized to any medium. From the boats she floated down the Mississippi or into Venice, to her earliest days exhibiting at Deitch, to philanthropic tasks in New Orleans and Haiti and her Heliotrope Basis, SWOON is about enlargement. Along with her new and highly effective work in animation and an upcoming movie, it appeared like the right time to talk with one of many nice artists of the Juxtapoz period.
