In this episode of "Between Two Palms," critic and author Barry Schwabsky speaks with painter Marina Adams about her new series of prints created at Two Palms in New York. Their conversation—recorded six feet apart in East Hampton, New York—touches on the color and energy in Adams' work, which Schwabsky says "is never agitated or frantic but rather feels steady, relaxed, and spontaneously responsive. Viewing her work is like being in the passenger seat next to a driver who knows how to take the road with supreme dexterity and implicit attentiveness; you feel safe at any speed.” Barry Schwabsky is the art critic for The Nation and co-editor of international reviews at Artforum. He is also a noted poet and author whose essays have appeared in Flash Art, London Review of Books, Hyperallergic and Art in America. He has taught at Yale University, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Pratt Institute and Goldsmiths College. Marina Adams is a painter based in Brooklyn and Parma, Italy. In 2016 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, and her large-scale abstract paintings have been commended for their “undulating, interlocking shapes that reveal an internal rhythm” as she “fluently pushes color into form.” © 2020 Two Palms.

In this episode of "Between Two Palms," art critic and writer Antwaun Sargent speaks with photographer Nona Faustine about her new series "My Country," which confronts the truth and trauma behind iconic American monuments. Recorded in front of a live audience at Two Palms in New York, their conversation investigates this critical cultural moment in which monuments—and the very history they embody—have come under review. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Nona Faustine is a photographer and visual artist whose work explores stereotypes of race and gender. Her work has been exhibited in the Brooklyn Museum and the Studio Museum in Harlem, and she was recently selected to join the inaugural class of Kehinde Wiley’s Black Rock Senegal Residency. Antwaun Sargent is a writer and critic whose work has appeared in the New York Times, The New Yorker, and various museum and gallery publications. His new book, “The New Black Vanguard: Photography between Art and Fashion,” seeks to recontextualize black identity within and without the art world at large. © 2019 Two Palms. All Rights Reserved.
