The Complications of Commemoration
<p>In this episode, I explore memorial culture in Germany with its many challenges and complications. </p> <p><br></p> <p>James E. Young has written extensively about memorialization, but his article "Germany's Memorial Problem and Mine" was a point of inspiration for this story. Sarah Farmer has written extensively on memorial culture in France, but her article "Symbols that Face Two Ways: Commemorating the Victims of Nazism and Stalinism at Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen" was a touchstone for this story. I'd also like to recommend Juliet Koss's article "Coming To Turns with the Present," which is on the Places of Remembrance Memorial in the Bavarian Quater, Kathrin Hoffmann-Curtius and Susan Nurmi-Schomers article “Memorials for the Dachau Concentration Camp," and Harold Marcuse's manuscript “Holocaust Commemoration: A Strategy for West Germany.” Spencer Bailey's book is called "In Memory Of: Designing Contemporary Memorials." You can also find his work at The Slow down and At a Distance Podcasts. </p>

Art and Mortality
<p>In this episode, I explore mortality through art.</p> <p>In Act One: Time, Mortality, and other loving relationships, I tell the story of Untitled (Perfect Lovers). 1991 by Félix González-Torres. You can see the artwork here. I highly recommend <a href="https://steidl.de/Books/Felix-Gonzalez-Torres-0642484952.html">this </a>Monograph on his work. Ghael Fobes voice acted for this story.</p> <p>In Act Two: The evolution of Depictions of Decay, I follow how Japanese corpse contemplation paintings, or kusōzu, have evolved over the centuries. You can read Elizabeth Tinsley's article "The Composition of Decomposition: The Kusōzu Images of Matsui Fuyuko and Itō Seiu, and Buddhism in Erotic Grotesque Modernity" <a href="https://catalog.lib.kyushu-u.ac.jp/opac_download_md/1806128/p015.pdf">here</a>. I also highly reccomend <a href="https://ds-omeka.haverford.edu/japanesemodernism/exhibits/show/matsui-fuyuko/kus--zu">this </a>virtual exhibition on Matsui's kusōzu series and this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-ExreP3NSQ">interview </a>with the artist.</p> <p>In Act Three: A Good Death for an Artist, I dicuss Édouard Manet's late work, death, and mythology. I spoke with Katherine Kremnitzer for this story, however she no longer works at the Art Institute of Chicago where the exhibition mentioned in the story was held. The <a href="http://www.getty.edu/art/exhibitions/late_manet/">exhibition </a>Manet and Modern Beauty released a catalogue, which is a great source for more information. </p>
