Thursday, July 11th, 9am - Noon
on This Is The Modern World with Trouble

oin Trouble as she welcomes amazing artist Arlene Shechet to This is the Modern World, in honor of her 'Girl Group' show now on display at Storm King Art Center. Since the mid 1990's Shechet has worked in a range of materials, often contrasting media such as wood, metal, paper and ceramics. Her imaginative show at the Frick Museum in 2017 was a dialogue with their Meissen porcelain collection and included porcelain pieces she made during a series of residencies at the Meissen manufactory in 2012 and 2013. A version of that interactive play between historical design and contemporary ideas is presently showing at the Harvard Museum.
In 'Girl Group' Shechet displays six new large-scale commissions that harness the expressive power of geometry, line, color, and form in works displayed across Storm King’s hills, fields, and galleries. The title 'Girl Group' calls attention to the group of works performing together and also to female musicians breaking barriers, overcoming obstacles, and fighting for their rightful seat at the table.

Monday, June 10th, Noon - 3pm
on Irene Trudel's show
(on Give the Drummer Radio stream)
Sardinian Guitar Sorcerer Paolo Angeli makes a return appearance on Irene's show. Angeli's instrument is a bit of a Frankensteinian melding of regular baritone guitar, cello strings and headstock, Kora-like side strings, propellers and multiple effects, all of which create a wonderfully ethereal wall of beautiful sounds. Paolo's latest album, Níjar (pronounced "knee-HAR"), is an imaginary soundtrack to "Bodas de Sangre," by Federico García Lorca. Paolo Angeli plays a few pieces and chats with Irene.
