LYDIA NOBLES + Latchkey & Abortion Rights: SUMMER SHORTS

Jul 6 2022 • 34 mins

Today, host Kris Racaniello sits down with Lydia Nobles in the exhibition TEMPUS FUGIT, curated by Charles Moore at Latchkey Gallery. Lydia speaks about her two sculptures there and their intersection with her larger project documenting and materializing the spectrum of abortion stories. We then talk about sculpture as an offering, the history of communal vs. patriarchal medicine practices in obstetrics and gynecology, as well as abortion as a societal benefit. The exhibition features works by some truly amazing artists: Calli Roche, Camille Hoffman, Chellis Baird, Emmanuel Massillon, Esteban Whiteside, Keli Safia Maksud, Kevin Claiborne, Leah DeVun, Lindsey Brittain Collins, Lydia Nobles and Telvin Wallace.

*Apologies for the occasional footsteps–– we were interviewing in a well-trafficked gallery!

Summer Shorts are quick takes, an intimate interview with one of the Field Pod hosts and a guest. These will take the form of artists presenting their work, getting drunk with artist friends, and if we are so moved… impromptu recordings at openings or exhibitions. Don’t worry though in Season 3 launching this September we will be back to double teaming these interviewees! Enjoy!
