Molly Gochman: the Universal Act of Caregiving

Known for her large-scale, participatory installations, Molly Gochman speaks to Emily in this all new episode about caregiving, motherhood, artmaking, and monuments. This episode follows the recent release of her podcast, Monuments to Motherhood , alongside a series of new sculptural works of the same title which will be sited across New York City and the larger U.S early next year. Molly Gochman , an artist and activist deeply engaged in social practice, focuses on activating spaces for profound collective experiences. Her practice encompasses a diverse range of mediums including photography, sound, installation, and sculpture. Through these mediums, she often challenges and subverts conventional material boundaries to foster interaction, play, exploration, and meaningful dialogue. Molly frequently explores concepts encompassing human connection, environment, and community, rooted in the belief that life's experiences shape us. Guided by the concept that "life leathers us," her works not only aim to aestheticize but also reflect the passage of time through weather, wear, and change. Her practice continues to evolve with a desire to actively engage participants, inspire meaningful dialogues, find commonality, and discover shared human experiences. Molly has exhibited her work at The Ukrainian Museum, New York; NYC Parks Art in the Parks; NADA House, New York; Lincoln Center, New York; Deborah Colton Gallery, Houston; Diverse Works, Houston; Chashama, New York; Sara Roney Gallery, Sydney; Grace Farms, New Canaan; Barbara Davis Gallery, Houston; Zilkha Hall, Houston; Elsewhere, Greensboro and other traditional and non-traditional exhibition spaces. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Guilford College. Originally from Texas, Molly is currently based in New York. Listen to Monuments to Motherhood
