Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
Go behind the scenes in an art museum. Join the crew from the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art as we chat with artists, curators, and everyone else who helps us bring our galleries to life. New episodes will be posted in selected months after the program has aired on KUNV 91.5.
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the United States, we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ groups. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts, especially for first-time visitors. To facilitate access for low-income guests we provide free entry to all our exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and community activities. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for researchers and scholars to develop a more extensive knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV).
In today’s episode we talk to performance artist Yasmina Chavez and Aluminati metal caster Micah Haji-Sheikh about the legendary late Cuban-American artist Ana Mendieta. Chavez and Haji-Sheikh both took part in a sequence of Mendieta-themed activities at the Barrick Museum in mid-2022. Why is an artist who died in 1985 still such an inspirational presence? How do you build your own performance around her ideas? How do you stay safe when you're handling hot liquid metal? And who are the Aluminati? Find out with us.
Interviewers: LeiAnn Huddleston, Emmanuel Muñoz
Interviewees: Yasmina Chavez, Micah Haji-Sheikh
