Fresh Art International presents conversations about creativity in the 21st century. Launched in 2011, the podcast archives more than 300 stories from the center and fringe of art, design, and film scenes across six continents. Host Cathy Byrd is a contemporary art writer and curator respected as one of the world’s first women podcasters. She roams the planet to capture underrepresented oral histories, recording soundscapes and voices on the street, in classrooms, galleries, theaters, and museums. Listeners who follow her nomad studio are as likely to find themselves in a city as in a swamp, landfill or desert, on a mountain path or beach. Stay tuned for more voices from the field.

Joyce J. Scott on Craft in Contemporary Art

Artist Joyce J. Scott is a legend—among the first to reposition craft as social commentary. In 2016, a MacArthur Genius award recognized her vital creative force. For Art Basel Miami Beach 2018, Peter Blum Gallery presented rarely seen early works that reveal how the artist has always delved into the extremes of human nature—from humor to horror, and beauty to brutality. In her fusion of craft aesthetics and contemporary sculpture, performance art and cultural critique, Scott weaves a deep sense of humanity into complex conversations of our time.
The first conversation we recorded with Joyce J. Scott in Baltimore, Maryland, became Fresh Art International's premiere episode, released on October 12, 2011. Re-releasing the segment is an opportunity to reflect—on the lasting value of Scott’s work and continued relevance of this podcast.
