Artist of the Week 1 - Hung Liu

Our first artist is Hung Liu. For the podcast we went to Hung Liu's studio to discuss her painting "Shoah" which recently came into SJMA's collection. In addition we spoke with her husband, art critic, Jeff Kelly. During the 8 week run of the exhibition "New Year, New Gifts", the San Jose Museum of Art will offer each week a podcast highlighting one of the artists in the show. The artist in the series are: Hung Liu, Jack Zajac, Rick Arnitz, Ruth Asawa, Richard Misrach, Amy Kaufman, Helen Lundeburg and Manuel Neri. We hope that visitors will download these podcasts and bring their iPods into the museum to experience the works first hand with the audio. However, these are enhanced podcasts and if you own an iPod that displays pictures or if you view the podcast in iTunes, you will be able to view images from the collection and images from the interviews. But you can also just listen to the audio and enjoy the insight that each podcast will provide. If you have any comments or questions please email: [email protected] The music from this podcast, "Clowne Towne", is by the band Xiu Xiu and is from their album Fabulous Muscles.
