Javier Téllez

John Hanhardt

This week we sat down with Javier Téllez, the artist responsible for the creation of "NOSFERATU(The Undead"), a commissioned work for the Memorial Art Gallery. Also joining us is Jonathan Binstock, the Mary W. and Donald R. Clark Director of the MAG and John Hanhardt, Consulting Senior Curator of Media Arts for the MAG. NOSFERATU (The Undead) is part of a series called Reflections on Place: that place being Rochester, NY. Javier is an artist who incorporates people living with mental illness into his work and he did the same with this piece. Inspired by the 1922 film Nosferatu, Javier and a local cast created a film that incorporates celluloid, the theater and mental illness into an incredible body of work. Listen in to hear Javier’s journey to make this film and how it lives within the MAG.http://mag.rochester.edu/exhibitions/javier-tellez/

NOSFERATU (The Undead) with Javier Téllez, Jonathan Binstock and John Hanhardt

Sam Gilliam

Sirius XM produced this interview between artist Sam Gilliam and Jonathan Binstock, the director of Rochester's Memorial Art Gallery and a Gilliam scholar. On the occasion of Gilliam's return to the Venice Biennale 45 years after he represented the United States, this far-ranging conversation covers the artist's entire career. Born in Louisville, Kentucky where Cassius Clay, Sr. (Muhammed Ali's father) was a prominent painter, Gilliam encountered a European refugee Ulfert Wilke at the Louisville and became his studio assistant. He also eventually encountered the Gutai artists in Japan, Bob Thompson and moved eventually to Washington, DC where Kenneth Noland was at the center of the Color Field movement and the city was "a town of connection."Throughout this conversation Gilliam talks of the lifelong struggle to make art and make a life as an artist. His career followed no clear trajectory but has been punctuated by encounters with an endless cast of 20th Century artistic influences culminating in his most recent turn in the center stage.
