Episode Seven: Genevieve Gaignard

For the penultimate episode of How To Be An Artist, Kate Bryan is joined by Genevieve Gaignard. Based in Los Angeles, she enlists the use of photographic self-portraiture, sculpture and installation to explore race, femininity, class, and their various intersections. In this episode, Gaignard chats to Bryan about her recent residency at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, how she draws inspiration from her mother’s aesthetic, and shares advice to aspiring artists. Gaignard’s work has been exhibited throughout the United States, with shows at the Studio Museum in Harlem, the California African American Museum in Los Angeles, and the Houston Center for Photography. Her installationNever Too Much can also be found at Soho Warehouse in Downtown LA.
