Carrie Moyer

Deskripsi

In this episode, artist and host David Humphrey sits down with celebrated painter Carrie Moyer on the occasion of her 2022 exhibition Morphologies at D.C. Moore Gallery. Their conversation opens with a probing exploration of the word "queer"—its political weight, cultural evolution, and contested use in contemporary discourse. Moyer reflects on her long personal and activist relationship with the term, expressing skepticism about its recent broad application, while Humphrey draws a connection between queerness and abstraction in her painting practice. Together, they unpack how language, identity, and form can be both tools of resistance and sites of transformation, especially post-pandemic.Carrie Moyer 's sumptuous paintings on canvas reference Color Field, Pop Art and 1970s Feminist art - while proposing a new approach to fusing history, research and experimentation in painting. Image: Reverie (There's a Hole in My Bucket Dear Liza), 2021.
