Art Watch Radio Podcast with Artist, Storyteller, and Hippie Icon Wavy Gravy on June 3, 2020

June 3, 2020

Amie Potsic interviews Wavy Gravy - artist, poet, storyteller, clown, hippie icon, and temple of accumulated error.  Wavy Gravy will discuss his visual art and creative journey highlighting his new work on wood.  From poet and performer to philanthropist and change-maker, his artistic trajectory has been a fun and bumpy ride.

---

Wavy Gravy is not your ordinary artist, nor your ordinary clown. He certainly has had a long run since his earlier days as a poet and stand-up comic, improvisational theater artist, psychedelic bus caravan luminary, and rock concert MC.  Yet his reach extends far beyond the comic and MC’ing the original Woodstock.  He is devoted to “do something good for a change,” and his creative activism on behalf of peace, justice, and good humor is legendary. Along with Jahanara, his wife of over fifty years, he has brought joy and helped to relieve suffering for countless people around the globe, largely through his favorite causes and organizations he founded, Camp Winnarainbow and the Seva Foundation.  In addition to all this, Wavy is a prolific visual artist doing collage and mixed media works inspired by music, memory, spiritual discovery, and photographs.  His new work involves collage on rough-hewn rounds of wood from trees at Black Oak Ranch, the Hog Farm commune’s County Seat in Northern California.

Fault Lines: Contemporary Abstraction by Artists from South Asia 
Through Fall 2020 | Alter Gallery 276 | Philadelphia Museum of Art 

Curator: Amanda Sroka, Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art 

This exhibition features the work of six female artists all born in South Asia, although often active elsewhere throughout the globe—Tanya Goel, Sheela Gowda, Priya Ravish Mehra, Prabhavathi Meppayil, Nasreen Mohamedi, and Zarina—whose works uniquely embrace and reconfigure the visual language of abstraction as they address questions of memory, home, and belonging. 

Through a sensitivity to ritual and materials—ranging from cow dung, to copper wire, to handmade paper—these artists engage the subtle politics and poetics of people and place. In their works, the line becomes a map of, and a metaphor for, geological, political, and psychological landscapes. Presented together, they force the viewer to reconsider the larger art historical narrative of twentieth- century Modernism (a narrative mostly centered on the West and dominated by male artists) while expanding on the history of art from the region. 

As the world continues to form new borders and build more walls, these works speak to the fault lines of our fractured and divided existence—the boundaries between tradition and modernity, the powerful and the powerless, presence and absence, earth and sky. 

This exhibition has been made possible with support from the museum’s endowment, through the Daniel W. Dietrich II Fund for Excellence in Contemporary Art. 

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is currently closed through June 30, 2020.

Amie Potsic, Midnight Mass (Installation view) 2020, © Amie Potsic 2020

January 29, 2020

Constance McBride interviews Amie Potsic about her new solo installation Midnight Mass at the Delaware Contemporary in Wilmington. Midnight Mass will be at the Delaware Contemporary, January 24 - April 25, 2020, with an opening reception: Friday, February 7, 5 - 9 PM.

Statement
”My work references the sensory experience of being within the forest while encouraging us all to appreciate and preserve its future. Incarnate environmental explorations, my photographs and installations invite you to connect with your own perception of nature in a manner that is both intimate and enchanting. I focus on the beauty and mystery of the forest to share my sense of wonder, develop our connection to trees, and encourage environmental protections. Personal experience underscoring the urgency of climate change, I draw attention to deforestation by creating visceral and cerebral connections to trees and the natural world.

Midnight Mass is a site-specific installation created from over 250 feet of silk. The semi-translucent silk with photographic imagery from the forest weaves its way through the air to arch, bend, and arabesque in the sky. The panels extend from the entrance reaching up toward the looming windows behind to be backlit like stained glass. The installation fills the space in graceful, abstract lines and draping, drawing the eye up toward the apex of the room. Looking up at the illuminated silk, a conjured sense of our own scale, akin to what we feel in a cathedral or looking up at the forest canopy, enhances the experience of the artwork and museum’s architecture.” - Amie Potsic
