The Selection Committee Radio Show with Clynton Lowry, 3/5/23

Artist and writer Clynton Lowry brings a particularly smooth and sweet mixtape to the show—a tribute in part to his musical family and his youth in LA and Philly. We talk about his life after getting an MFA from Yale, Lowry began to think about strategies for making art outside of the gallery system in which he was already working every day. The result was sleeping bags, jackets, and sweat suits made out of the moving blankets that are a fundamental component of art shipping.

Clynton’s work The Invisible Art Handler was featured in the exhibition “In Support” at The Kitchen, New York, NY (2021-22). This included a series of six site-specific, augmented-reality videos which portrayed ordinary maintenance tasks being performed by a person who has been digitally removed from the image.

Finally, we talk about Clynton and Art Handler’s excellent instagram account, his latest show at Soldes in LA, and the incredible resource that he created for art workers, jobs.art.
