Armin and I had a great time in conversation with artist Meighen Jackson. I recently heard Meighen give a juror's talk at Anton Art Center for their Michigan Annual. She was the juror of the prestigious exhibition that is now in it's 51st year. After hearing her speak I knew she would be an excellent podcast guest.
Meighen has been part of the Detroit art scene for many years and she has seen changes and developments thru those years. She feels the artists are much more collaborative and have found common ground and community thru the years. Michigan has been called a fly over state but Meighen notes that artists from New York started finding studios with more space and cheaper rents as NYC saw gentrification of artist neighborhoods. So the vibe of Detroit has become known thru cutting edge art and music in recent years.
Meighen now divides her time between Detroit and Traverse City and readily states that each city brings a different inspiration to her work. Traverse City is more experimental as 3d work with a nature as inspiration and the studio in Detroit allows her to create her collage style 2D paintings with paper.
Here are links to her website and topics of interest for you to learn more about the artist..
