Chloe Wise on Lettuce Chandeliers, Bread Handbags and Archetypal Women

Chloe Wise on Lettuce Chandeliers, Bread Handbags and Archetypal Women14 jul28 min

<p>This week, we're visiting artist Chloe Wise in her Manhattan studio. In this episode: the shift from painting a specific person to painting an archetypal woman, the biological necessity of laughter, the problem with calling women's success an Instagram story, and what Chloe made in 2019 that accidentally predicted the pandemic. It's a conversation about humor, vulnerability, the reverse ready-made, and why the best art might just be the stuff that evades description. Carrie's verdict at the end: she still doesn't fully understand Chloe's work. But that might be entirely the point.</p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of the Seen podcast.
