About this listen

Episode No. 750 (!!!) is a clips episode featuring artist Jo Ann Callis.

Starting in the early 1970s, Callis has constructed both black-and-white and color photographs that consider, sex, sexuality, pleasure and more pleasure. This program was taped in 2014 when Aperture published "Other Rooms," a book of Callis' investigations of the nude body and sexuality, mostly from the mid-1970s. Last year Luhz Press published "Jo Ann Callis - Dish Trick," featuring Callis pictures that explores the emotions latent in the objects of the home. Luhz lists it at $45; Amazon offers it for $80.

Callis is a leading feminist artist and one of the most important photographers of her generation. In 2009 the J. Paul Getty Museum presented a retrospective of her work titled "Woman Twirling." Callises are in the permanent collection of museums such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Air date: March 19, 2026.
