Join us as we welcome Robin Lasser, a natural-born storyteller and ecofeminist who has carved a unique path throughout her art-making career. In this episode, we traverse her journey, from her latest exhibit, Climate’s Shipwreck Ballad, currently on view at the Plattsburgh State Art Museum, to her earliest creations. Tune in to discover how the spiritual philosophy of As Above, So Below shows up repeatedly in her oeuvre.   Robin is not an artist who works alone; she collaborates with artists, writers, students, public agencies, community organizations, and international coalitions to produce public art and promote dialogue. Robin’s work serves as a form of activism, addressing climate justice while commenting on public health, environmental issues, and social equity, helping to rewrite history with honesty. Her art-making approach often integrates layers of textures, colors, elements of fire and water, humor, and research, showcasing the power of art as a vital communication tool.   Her recent exhibit, Climate’s Shipwreck Ballad, provides insights into Lake Champlain, exploring migration lines, 300 species of birds, 300 shipwrecks beneath its surface, and how the waters' currents served as a gateway to freedom. In this conversation, Robin shares her creative process, highlighting how she combines layers of photographs and videos to create site-specific installations and public art that engage with themes of placemaking. Her Dress Tent Series adds a layer of humor and wit, as she explains, “Through the humor of an oversized dress, we reference specific body and land topics pertaining to the place and culture where they are located. By exploring these two symbols of shelter, we delve into themes of protection versus oppression, expression versus exploitation, sexy versus matronly, and more.”   While Robin is constantly creating, she is also a professor of Art at San José State University. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including venues such as the San Francisco Asian Art Museum, San José Museum of Art, National Gallery of Modern Art in Bangalore, India, the Museum of Goa, Exploratorium Observation Gallery in San Francisco, Kohler Museum of Art, The Metenkov Museum of Photography in Yekaterinburg, Russia, the Recoleta Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the Caixa Cultural Center in Rio de Janeiro. She also participates in international biennials, including ZERO1: Global Art on the Edge in San José, California, Nuit Blanche in Toronto, Canada, and the Pingyao International Photography Festival in Pingyao, China.   View  Robin’s work, filled with humor and texture, at robinlasser.com.
