Barbara London Calling

In the third episode of Season 3, Barbara London speaks with Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, two sound and installation artists who began collaborating in 1995. Their work explores the idea of narration and the plasticity of noise, sound, music and poetry. Based in rural British Columbia, Janet and George often travel internationally to develop and install their work, which has been shown in major museums around the world.

The second episode of Season 3 features Barbara London in conversation with Stan Douglas, the acclaimed Canadian artist who reimagines the mediums of photography, film and video while looking at technology's role in image making and collective memory. Stan's work often pulls from his interests in music, movies, television and theater, aiming at what he sees as the small moments that are a local symptom of a global condition.

In the first episode of Season 3, host Barbara London speaks with CFGNY, an artist collective working at the intersection of art, fashion and identity. Based mostly in New York, the members of CFGNY collectively work across video performance, installation, sculpture and garment making.
