Art World: Whitehot Magazine with Noah Becker

Artist talk with Pam Poquette, Lawre Stone and Whitehot's Clare Gemima for their 2 person exhibition "Chrysalis" at Tanja Grunert Gallery in Hudson.

I recently sat down with Greg Haberny at his current exhibit at Satellite Gallery, 279 Broome Street in NYC. As an artist I’ve known for over twenty years from showing together at art fairs in Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City, as well as connecting at NYC galleries. In this captivating interview, Greg shares insights into his creative process, the passion driving his art, and the surreal moment when Banksy began collecting his work, inviting him to create an installation at Dismaland and join other exciting exhibits. He also talks about his key role in the Bombay Beach Biennale, a unique art event in the California desert that transforms the landscape into a hub of creativity. Greg’s enthusiasm is compelling—don’t miss hearing him reflect on his craft and the unexpected twists of his inspiring career!

Guest host Kofi Fosu Forson talks with Jenna Basso Pietrobon, a multidisciplinary artist skilled in a variety of mediums including, painting, sculpture, architecture, design, performance and activism. Pietrobon shares with the Whitehot Art World audience her revolutionizing of the mystery of fate, art and destiny. How a trip back to her grandparents home of Nove di Bassano in Italy changed the course of her art platform. Currently based in Paris, she touches on her experience in New York working in a patriarchal system. How trauma from that broadened her activism for women silenced, and oppressed in hope of gender equality. Central in her art experience is how she manages recovery from trauma in an activist and art-making role, building on a form of inclusivity with the involvement of artisans in her art-making process.

Guest host Kofi Fosu Forson with the innovative, genius-minded energy of the septuagenarian artist and performance artist, George Lund, began in the town of Huyton, Liverpool. In a household of ten children, what he grew accustomed to was living with chickens. 70's culture drew him to dance and performance, origins of his alter ego, Funkadelic Chicken. As a founding member of the defunct cultural initiative, Transvoyeur, he has exhibited internationally. He now spends time volunteering, bringing a worldwide audience to the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral where he conducts drawing exercises.
