| 2 | VideoTodd Schorr: American Surreal - Influences | Todd Schorr has many influences that go into his artwork ranging from boyhood memories to modern day cartoons. In this video he invites us into his large collection of ephemera that he has collected over the years that continue to inspire his work. Todd Schorr: American Surreal is the first mid-career retrospective of the Los Angeles-based artist. Schorr is a leading figure in Southern California's cartoon-based movement, dubbed Pop Surrealism, which embraces low-brow culture and a ribald graphic style indebted to pop sources such as Mad magazine. Schorrs astonishing, highly polished realism, (inspired by Bosch, Brueghel and Dali), sets him apart from his best-known peers such as Camille Rose Garcia, Gary Baseman, and Mark Ryden. The exhibition, curated by SJMAs Senior Scholar and Curator of Collections Susan Landauer, is accompanied by a book published by Last Gasp, San Francisco. Exhibition runs June 20 through September 16, 2009 at the San Jose Museum of Art. | 6/22/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 7 | VideoCakeland - This End Up: the Art of Cardboard | For the exhibition This End Up: the Art of Cardboard we created this short promo video. The film features a work in the exhibition called Cakeland by artist Scott Hove and is a sequel to a previous video that the museum produced called Road Trip. You can view that video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_rmqK... Special thanks go to Scott Hove for letting the museum film in his studio and to Sibby's Cupcakes for allowing us to film in their bakery. http://www.mshove.com http://www.sibbyscupcakery.com *************************************** Bronze, marble, stainless steelcardboard? In fact, many of the most highly esteemed artists, like Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Gehry, Joan Brown and Manuel Neri, have experimented with cardboard as an artistic material. Both relatively inexpensive and ubiquitous, cardboard affords artists the ability to work on a large-scale that might not be otherwise possible. In this exhibition, artists challenge the limits of cardboard by investigating topics ranging from formal concerns to social commentary and engineering. Oakland-based artist Scott Hove paints and embellishes cardboard transforming its dull, brown surface to a delectable, pink, frosted cake. Exploring the sculptural quality of cardboard, Tobias Putrih carefully carves the material revealing organic forms with dynamic surfaces. Ranging from large scale installation to two-dimensional objects, this exhibition demonstrates the almost endless artistic possibilities of this everyday material. This End Up: the Art of Cardboard runs from November 8, 2008 through February 15, 2009 | 11/12/08 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 8 | VideoRoad Trip - Curator - Kristen Evangelista | Road Trip Curator Kristen Evangelista discusses how the exhibition came to be and some of the key points to consider when viewing the show at the San Jose Museum of Art. Often considered a distinctly American experience, the road trip is an excursion in which the journey is as compelling as the destination. The exhibition Road Trip examines this travel experience through photography, video, sculpture, and works on paper by Eleanor Antin, Jane Benson, Sophie Calle, Steven Deo, Lordy Rodriguez, Ed Ruscha, and others. Photographers Candace Plummer Gaudiani and Catherine Opie methodically document their surroundings, often searching for remnants of the past. Other artists such as Val Britton and Nina Katchadourian favor a metaphorical approach, reinterpreting maps to produce invented landscapes. Road Trip offers a broad exploration of real and imagined journeys, which often entail not only a physical displacement but also a psychological and emotional passage. San Jose Museum of Arts exhibition, Road Trip, is sponsored by McManis Faulkner. | 9/19/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 12 | VideoRobots - Curator's Label - Introduction | Brief introduction to Senior Curator JoAnne Northrup's exhibition Robots: Evolution of a Cultural Icon. In it she talks about how the exhibition came about and the influence of popular culture. For the exhibition Robots: Evolution of a Cultural Icon the San Jose Museum of Art created "Video Labels" for around the work of 6 artists. The artists are Clayton Bailey, Eric Joyner, Nemo Gould, Gail Wight, Lisa Solomon and David Pace. For each artist there is a "Curators Label", where Senior Curator JoAnne Northrup speaks about the artist, and an "Artist Label", where the artist talks about their work. Show runs April 12 - October 19, 2008. Robots: Evolution of a Cultural Icon examines the development of robot iconography in fine art over the past 50 years. In 1920, the term robot was coined from a Czech word robota, which means tedious labor. Since then, the image and the idea of a robot have evolved remarkably from an awkward, mechanical creature to a sophisticated android with artificial intelligence and the potential for human-like consciousness. As robotic technology catches up with the wild imagination of science fiction novels, movies, and animation, dreams and fears anticipated in these stories may also become reality. Artists included in the exhibition have responded to the technological innovation with optimism, pessimism, and humor, presenting work that ultimately explores our ambivalent attitudes towards robots. | 4/2/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Download to your iPod via iTunes (search "SJMA") to supplement your visit or watch via YouTube to experience parts of the exhibition at home. Utilizing satire and a dark imagination, Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco Goya published Los Caprichos, a series of 80 etchings in 1799. Goya was stone deaf; therefore he relied on his keen observation to represent Spain during a period of social and economic hardship. Los Caprichos portrays goblins and aristocrats alike, enacting the excesses of the nobility and the corruption of the church. Goya's characters themselves exist somewhere between actuality and fantasy. In fact, in Spanish the term "capricho" means whim or an expression of the imagination. Goya used whimsy but also gross caricature to expose a nation rife with corruption and evil. | 1/25/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

1 - De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Collection - Introduction | The San Jose Museum of Art is pleased to offer this audio tour to compliment your visit to the exhibition De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Art Collection. In it you will hear commentary by curator Heather Green, interviews with several of the artists in the exhibition, and insight into the collection provided by Harry W. Anderson himself. You can download it to your iPod or other audio device for your next visit to the museum! In this episode for the exhibition De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Collection curator Heather Green talks about the ideas behind the exhibition and the Anderson art collection; on view at the San Jose Museum of Art Oct. 13, 2007 - Jan. 6, 2008. Broadly defined, to denature is to change the character or condition of something. In the milieu of contemporary painting, sculpture, and work on paper seen in this exhibition, it is the connection between artist and nature that has changed. Gone are the romantic vistas and picturesque scenes of traditional landscape painting. Instead we find images of pollution and alienation that mirror the post-war urban-industrial landscape, depictions in which artistic media have been pressed into embodiments of natural elements (and vice versa), and abstractions that highlight a distance between the world perceived and the world represented. Featuring works by artists such as Wayne Thiebaud, Roy DeForest, David Hockney, Vija Celmins, Ed Ruscha, Frank Stella, Louise Nevelson, and Richard Diebenkorn, the art of De-Natured presents a sampling of the many ways that artists have engaged with their changing environs. At a time when we are increasingly “growing up denatured,” as one New York Times writer recently described the divide between urban and pastoral life, these artistic collisions with nature (or its absence) have much to tell us about our own relationships with the environment, both natural and urban. This exhibition was curated by Heather Pamela Green, a doctoral candidate in Art History at Stanford University, and features work drawn from the Collection of Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson, as well as the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's Anderson Graphic Arts Collection. | 10/11/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

This exhibition was curated by Heather Pamela Green, a doctoral candidate in Art History at Stanford University, and features work drawn from the Collection of Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson, as well as the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's Anderson Graphic Arts Collection. | 10/11/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

**Extra** De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Collection - Harry W. Anderson (pt. 1) | The San Jose Museum of Art is pleased to offer this audio tour to compliment your visit to the exhibition De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Art Collection. In it you will hear commentary by curator Heather Green, interviews with several of the artists in the exhibition, and insight into the collection provided by Harry W. Anderson himself. You can download it to your iPod or other audio device for your next visit to the museum! In this episode Harry W. Anderson speaks about the Anderson art collection, philanthropy and several of the artists in the exhibition De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Collection; on view at the San Jose Museum of Art October 13, 2007 - January 6, 2008. Broadly defined, to denature is to change the character or condition of something. In the milieu of contemporary painting, sculpture, and work on paper seen in this exhibition, it is the connection between artist and nature that has changed. Gone are the romantic vistas and picturesque scenes of traditional landscape painting. Instead we find images of pollution and alienation that mirror the post-war urban-industrial landscape, depictions in which artistic media have been pressed into embodiments of natural elements (and vice versa), and abstractions that highlight a distance between the world perceived and the world represented.

Her first museum solo exhibition surveys her work with an emphasis on her most recent creations, showcasing paintings, drawings, sketchbooks, prints, sculpture, and site-specific installations, and is complemented by a book-length catalogue. Garcia's work stems from growing up in the suburbs of Orange County and making frequent visits to Disneyland, "the happiest place on earth." The artist quickly grew to recognize its artifice and contradictions, and she witnessed the realities of privileged suburban life - adolescent alienation and social marginalization. Her precious glittered compositions are infused with a sense of discontent, yielding works that are simultaneously disturbing and attractive. Garcia is a notable member of a Los Angeles underground contemporary art movement known as the "Pop Surrealists" or "Lowbrow" artists, who combine dark surrealism with an eclectic array of pop culture sources, including comics, animation, and 1950s television. Garcia is particularly influenced by Walt Disney, punk bands like the Dead Kennedys, and sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick. In addition, she draws upon diverse artistic and cultural sources, such as the work of her former teacher Paul McCarthy, illustrations by nineteenth-century artist Aubrey Beardsley, myths and fairy tales, and Japanese art, specifically traditional woodblock prints and the anime inspired work of Yoshitomo Nara and Takashi Murakami. From these references, she has crafted both a style that is unique and content that is a good deal more political than the work of her contemporaries. Garcia has produced over ten distinct series, each with unique themes that stem from world affairs, such as the 2004 Southeast Asian Tsunami, or from personal experiences, like the death of her twelve-year old dog. For example, Retreat Syndrome was produced immediately after 9-11 and addresses how people cope with the aftermath a traumatic occurrence. Garcia's epic tales are inhabited by a cast of characters, who reckon with violently destructive forces, exposing the horrors of the world around us. Camille Rose Garcia is represented by the Merry Karnowsky Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. (more) | 4/30/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

Using the unique medium he has cultivated since the 1980s—the humble ballpoint pen on paper, and more recently, canvas—Lee creates works that are abstract, yet express the dynamic, unbridled power of nature. Born in Seoul, Korea and educated at the prestigious Hong-Ik University in Seoul, Lee earned his MFA in painting from the Pratt Institute in New York. This is the Brooklyn-based artist's first major museum survey exhibition, and spans the past 25 years of his work. | 3/13/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

Artist of the Week 5 - Richard Misrach | For week 5, we focus on artist Richard Misrach and SJMA’s recent acquisition "Untitled", from the series On the Beach, photographed by Misrach. For the podcast we spoke with gallery owner Robert Mann who represented Richard Misrach for over 20 years and even traveled with him several summers through the desert Southwest. In addition, we interviewed geologist, SJMA board member and Misrach collector, Peter Lipman who shares his personal insight on Misrach’s work. 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: podcast@sjmusart.org The music from this podcast, “Sky and the Ocean”, is by the band Volebeats and is from their album Sky and the Ocean.
