Artists Among Us

39

The Whitney Museum of American Art presents Artists Among Us, a podcast about American art and culture. We tell stories revealing the complexities and contradictions that have shaped life in the United States today. 

Minisodes feature brief conversations about artworks and events in and around the Whitney. The series is ongoing.

Season 1: Day's End considers the American artist David Hammons's sculpture, Day's End (2014–21) anchored on the banks of Manhattan’s West Side and stretching into the Hudson River. We follow the evolution of the Manhattan coastline through the history of the Meatpacking District, and celebrate the communities that have shaped the neighborhood where the Whitney now stands. This podcast was produced by Sound Made Public in collaboration with the Whitney Museum of American Art.

    Fascinating mix of art and NYC history!
    I wasn’t sure about a podcast focused on a single sculpture, but it’s really so much more than that. I loved learning more about David Hammons and Gordon Matta-Clark, but the unexpected parts of it were great too—hearing about the queer history of the piers, the history of the waterfront….the High Line as an antidote to “Death Avenue….” Bravo!

    Honoring the work of Hammons
    You may know a story about snowballs. You may have heard the name. But to hear all these beautiful anecdotes and observations about the one and only David Hammons, this podcast is such an enjoyable listen. May you be loved. May you be happy. And may you marvel at all that’s possible in the art realm. ✨
