October 23, 2024 - Swoon, Keefer Glenshaw, and Mahesh Daas

Today we’re having another edition of countdown to 2025, as in  countdown to the first Boston Triennial of public art, which  opens next year. It’s curated by Culture Show contributor Pedro Alonzo who is also the Artistic Director of the triennial.  It will feature dozens of  large-scale public art commissions by local, national and international artists, which includes the acclaimed street artist and filmmaker Caledonia Curry aka SWOON. She and Pedro Alonso join The Culture Show for a preview.From there it’s Keefer Glenshaw. The artist has turned playing cello into an endurance sport. In May he performed for 24 hours. In July another work  took him into the woods of Lexington. We caught up with him this summer. Now that his debut album, PURITY, has been released, we’re rebroadcasting that conversation and in-studio performance. Glenshaw is also partnering with Leesta Vall to record vinyl singles of the album. You can learn more here.Finally  it’s another edition of AI: Actual Intelligence with Mahesh Daas. He is  president of Boston Architectural College and the co-author of the  graphic novella about artificial intelligence, titled “I, Nobot.”  This month he discussed the Walter Hood exhibition, Native(s), which is on view at the BAC McCormick Gallery.
