Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists:Today we conclude our 3-part conversation with the artist Jeff Way. Jeff has lived and worked in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood since 1969. Featured in the 1973 Whitney Biennial and a subsequent solo exhibition, Way’s work has been shown at institutions like the New Museum, the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, and the ICA Philadelphia. His innovative Chalk Line Paintings, begun in the late 1960s, explore the grid through layered lines of raw pigment, a technique he revisits in his most recent Eccentric Squares series. Jeff’s solo exhibition, Then and Now: 1970 to 2024 opened earlier this year with Storage Gallery in New York and was featured in The New York Times and the Brooklyn Rail.In this week’s episode, I talk with the Jeff about his journey through expectations and his artistic growth, favorite exhibitions and the importance of continuity, and the ways in which teaching often intersected with his practice. We also discuss his advice for young artists and what makes a good critique.Enjoy this conversation with the artist Jeff Way.You can now support this podcast by clicking HERE where you can donate using PATREON or PayPal!If you're enjoying the podcast so far, please rate, review, subscribe and SHARE ON INSTAGRAM!
