Who better to talk about art than those who are directly involved with its creation every day? While podcasts presented by exhibition curators or art historians are legion, visual artists are increasingly using the format to tell their own stories.

"Over the years, I've given a great deal of thought to history and the way in which art can make the invisible visible." With these words, spoken in the first episode of the podcast series "Artists Among Us," Carrie Mae Weems sets the tone.
