Episode No. 414 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features curators Scott Allan and Emily A. Beeny and artist Xiaoze Xie.
–> It’s time for the MAN Podcast’s biennial audience survey! Please visit here to answer some basic questions that will help us better understand our audience. (It shouldn’t take more than five minutes.)
Along with the Art Institute of Chicago’s Gloria Groom, Getty curators Allen and Beeny are the co-curators of “Manet and Modern Beauty,” on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum through January 12, 2020. It is the first exhibition to examine the work Manet made near the end of his short life (he died at 51), including portraits, still-lifes, watercolors, cafe and garden scenes and even his correspondence. The excellent exhibition catalogue was published by the Getty. Amazon offers it for $43.
On the second segment, Xiaoze Xie discusses his paintings, video and more on the occasion of “Xiaoze Xie: Objects of Evidence” at the Asia Society Museum in New York City. The exhibition, which was curated by Michelle Yun, is on view through January 5, 2020. Xie was born in Guangdong Province, China before moving to the United States for graduate school at the University of North Texas in the mid-1990s. His work is in the collections of the MFA Houston, the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin, the Oakland Museum of California and more.

The Modern Art Notes Podcast 
I especially enjoyed this week’s podcast. I am happy that you brought the Asia Society’s exhibition of Xiaoze Xie’s work to my attention. Without your podcast I may have missed the exhibition.
A couple of suggestions: When you review an exhibition, I would very much like to know if the exhibition will travel or not. I cannot always travel to the West Coast to see a specific exhibition that I would like to experience. If the exhibition is going to travel to the East Coast (also known as the Right Coast) I can take a deep breath and make plans to see the exhibition. Secondly, Mr. Green’s voice FREQUENTLY lowers to the point where even at the highest volume I cannot hear what he is saying. Please, Mr. Green learn to make your voice consistently high enough in tone to be heard!
