Episode #80: Starting the Conversation: Breasts, Body, Art & Acceptance with Artist Arlene Rush
In today's episode, we speak to Arlene Rush, a conceptual multidisciplinary #artist who works on challenging the theories used to classify art. Arlene’s art exists among ideas of a feminist ideology, political engagement, and a strong sense of identity. Her art expands to sculptural objects, installations, photo-base work and mixed media, challenging conventional boundaries assigned to artists.
Tune in to hear about her inspirations behind her artwork, her thoughts on aging and her advocacies for breast cancer through art.
In this episode, we cover:
- Studio in New York
- Her relationship with her artworks
- Artworks explained: “In Waiting”, “Days After” and “Carnival” Series
- Her journey in recovering from breast cancer
- “The Box”, artpiece that launch the “Vaginal” series
