Episode No. 605 features artist Gio Swaby, and curator Leslie Jones. The Art Institute of Chicago is presenting "Gio Swaby: Fresh Up," a solo exhibition of work Swaby made in 2017-2021. Swaby's embroidered portraits celebrate both Blackness and her subjects' self-awareness and self-empowerment. The AIC's Melinda Watt co-curated the show with the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, Fla. curator Katherine Pill. Rizzoli Electa published an accompanying catalogue in association with the two museums. Amazon and  Bookshop offer it for about $35. This is Swaby's first museum solo exhibition. Her work is in the collection of museums such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Weisman Art Museum, University of Minnesota, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Jones is the curator of  "Coded: Art Enters the Computer Age, 1952-1982" at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The exhibition examines how artists embraced computer technology in the first decades of the computer age. It is on view through July 2. DelMonico Books and LACMA co-published the exhibition catalogue. Amazon and  Bookshop offer it for about $60-70. Instagram: Gio Swaby, Tyler Green.

Gio Swaby, "Coded"

Episode 117 features Gio Swaby, a Bahamian visual artist whose practice is an exploratory celebration of Blackness and womanhood. Her work centres on Black joy as a radical act of resistance. It works through the philosophy of love as liberation and explores pathways of healing and empowerment. It allows space for both the strong and soft to coexist. Swaby is a graduate of Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, Canada. She is currently an MFA candidate at OCAD University in Toronto, where she currently resides.Photo courtesy of Claire Oliver GalleryArtist https://www.gioswaby.com/Claire Oliver Gallery https://www.claireoliver.com/artists/31-gio-swaby/overview/MFA St.Petersburg https://mfastpete.org/exh/gio-swaby/Art Institute Chicago https://www.artic.edu/artists/117638/gio-swabyForbes https://www.forbes.com/sites/chaddscott/2022/07/05/gio-swabys-love-letters-to-black-women-at-museum-of-fine-arts-st-petersburg/?sh=7e908506a54aArtnet https://news.artnet.com/art-world/gio-swaby-1973064WWD https://wwd.com/eye/people/gio-swaby-fresh-up-solo-debut-museum-fine-arts-st-petersburg-textile-art-1235177744/Harpers Bazaar https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/art-books-music/a39629027/gio-swaby-textile-portraits-are-a-love-letter-to-black-womanhood/Orlando Magazine https://www.orlandomagazine.com/gio-swaby-fresh-up/
