WITNESSING NARAD, with Jagrut Raval

Immortality! Truth! History! FRRRRREEEEEDDDDOOOOOMMMM!

Today on the podcast we sit down in Field Projects with Jagrut Raval, our current field resident. We talk about history and myth making, as well as the imaginary of immortality and what it might mean to achieve that. Jagrut is an artist(?) history-maker, fabulator, and chronicler. We discuss his work on the figure Narad, who is, possibly, an immortal time traveler. Be prepared for a candid conversation about time travel, truth, comparative religion and our constructed identities. There is also a subtle undertone of language and belief systems as shaping forces behind our world perspectives. But first join Jacob and Kris as they talk about what’s been happening this past week. They talk about the shows they attended both together and separately including The Border Project Space’s opening last Friday featuring Kyoko Hamaguchi: Never Since. Kris talks about the opening of Pamela Sneed at Laurel Gitlen and Alexandra Rubenstien’s new solo exhibition “The Moon Also Rises” at Mother Gallery. Alexandra will be on the podcast next week! So stay tuned for even more discussion of those gorgeous, macho moon paintings. We conclude, as usual, with a list of shows to “go see” right now.
