David Humphrey: Election Day
November 5, 2024
Complete playlist below; tracks in yellow were cut for time.
In honor of Election Day 2024, painter, sculptor, writer, educator, and musician David Humphrey begins his mixtape with the ominous Megastorm by Trans Am—an apt choice for an uncertain moment.
Humphrey’s work is a bit hard to categorize—people with carefully rendered clothes and hairstyles merge directly into other people or melt down into passages of pure abstraction. The clarity of the abstract picture plane breaks apart into pictorial space, only to rush back to the surface again, a trick observed by the two camera-wielding bathers occupying Shutterbugs, 2014.
Humphrey describes the construction of a painting vis a vis his series of works about ecstasy. How can one depict that loss of personal boundaries? What are the formal characteristics of extreme emotion? How does the opticality of painting connect to the other aspects of the sensorium? Was Cezanne the original psychedelic artist?
We talk about what he means by “militant shallowness,” authenticity in art, and embedding popular/vernacular culture into his work; using once- or never-loved found images/objects from commercial production in painting or sculpture. This use of found source material also connects to Humphrey’s expansive view of collaboration, a mode of working (with real and imaginary collaborators) he’s enjoyed for decades.
David Humphrey has an upcoming show, porTraits, at Fredericks & Freiser gallery in New York, opening December 12, 2024. His work can be found on his website, and you can follow him on instagram.
From 2004-2008, Humphrey had a half-hour show on WPS1 art radio called Sound and Vision with a similar premise to the Selection Committee Radio Show. You can listen to those shows now on Apple Podcasts.
CORRECTION: Stravinsky’s piece The Soldier’s Tale Suite was written in 1918; 1968, the date I mentioned, was actually the date of the recording.

Jacob Jackmauh
October 22, 2024
Complete playlist below; tracks in yellow were cut for time.
For this breezy fall show, artist Jacob Jackmauh brings a selection of songs that run the gamut from the corporate innocence of a Kidz Bop cover of an Ice Spice/Nicki Minaj collab to the moody Witch House of S4lem. This playlist was definitely influenced by YouTube—check out the amazing video by Oneohtrix Point Never—and TikTok.
One of Jackmauh’s choices is a Lim Giong piece from the soundtrack of the 2004 Jia Zhangke film The World. The film takes place in Beijing World Park, a huge amusement garden containing models of iconic art and architecture from five of the seven world continents. Jake describes his interest in reproductions, models, novelty sculptures, and roadside attractions, and he tells us about his series of sculptures incorporating large fiberglass molds and how these objects relate to tourism and experience.
We talk about the complicated layering of form and meaning in a post-internet world, and what it means to think about mass culture(s) and navigate the spaces between childhood and adulthood today. Jacob chooses some big bangers from Lil Uzi Vert and Chuckii Booker, and explains how exposure to the internet and social media—“indexes of explorables”—introduces the algorithm to the forces of social networks and chance which create our cultural spheres.
We end the show on a more nostalgic note, with a selection from the original Mean Girls soundtrack and a couple of songs by Prince. It’s a great show!
