In this episode of "Between Two Palms," critic and author Barry Schwabsky speaks with painter Marina Adams about her new series of prints created at Two Palms in New York. Their conversation—recorded six feet apart in East Hampton, New York—touches on the color and energy in Adams' work, which Schwabsky says "is never agitated or frantic but rather feels steady, relaxed, and spontaneously responsive. Viewing her work is like being in the passenger seat next to a driver who knows how to take the road with supreme dexterity and implicit attentiveness; you feel safe at any speed.” Barry Schwabsky is the art critic for The Nation and co-editor of international reviews at Artforum. He is also a noted poet and author whose essays have appeared in Flash Art, London Review of Books, Hyperallergic and Art in America. He has taught at Yale University, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Pratt Institute and Goldsmiths College. Marina Adams is a painter based in Brooklyn and Parma, Italy. In 2016 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, and her large-scale abstract paintings have been commended for their “undulating, interlocking shapes that reveal an internal rhythm” as she “fluently pushes color into form.” © 2020 Two Palms.
