Video Interviews with Jeff Condon and Susan Jacoby

Posted on by Scott Bouma

As part of the GAAC’s The Sky Is Always There exhibit, we spoke with two visual artists whose works are a testament to their fascination with and reverence for the sky.

Jeff Condon, an artist based in Grand Rapids, has been considering the sky overhead since childhood. Jeff has translated and explored that interest in his pastel paintings. Clouds are now a signature part of the work Jeff does. Read more about Jeff here: https://jeffcondonart.com/

Painter Susan Jacoby divides her time between two skies: the one under which she lives in Illinois, and the other in Leelanau County. Susan works in oil, and is a great observer of the world above her head. But her interest and nearly singular focus on skyscapes began with her work painting the landscape. Read more about Susan here: https://susanjacobyart.com/home.html

The videos below will be viewable starting January 10 at 5pm. NOTE: Due to an unfortunate technical error, the paintings discussed with Jeff Condon during his interview are not visible during the viewing of the recording. Click on the images below. Our apologies to the artist.

Posted on by Scott Bouma

As part of the GAAC’s current exhibit, Shrines + Altars, a conversation with Josh Denby, head of the Sight + Sound Department at the Traverse Area District Library, about the library’s shrine to the arts of music, film, and television. Behind the Sight + Sound desk is a series of shelves filled with a thousand-plus objects, little idols and icons — that make those shelves a de facto altar to popular culture and the performing arts.
