In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Adam Green speaks with Mazdak Sanii, CEO of Avant Arte, one of the most fascinating success stories in the art market's print sector over the past several years. What began as an online art community quickly evolved into a powerhouse platform for publishing limited-edition prints by both emerging and established artists. Mazdak shares the story behind Avant Arte's founding and its evolution, explaining how the company has attracted a remarkable roster of collaborating artists, including Ed Ruscha, George Condo, Anish Kapoor, Ai Weiwei, Elizabeth Peyton, and Mickalene Thomas. He also discusses how Avant Arte has successfully differentiated itself in an increasingly saturated market by enhancing the collector experience and building a strong community around the platform. Adam and Mazdak delve into how collector behavior has shifted over the past few years, from the speculative frenzy of flipping to a more thoughtful and measured approach. They also explore key insights from Avant Arte's newly released Collectors Report, offering a glimpse into the most compelling trends shaping the future of the art world.

A low-rider show on the stately grounds of the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa and a cat video festival in Minneapolis that went viral – two examples of the creative mind of Scott Stulen. And as the Seattle Art Museum's new director and CEO, what innovative exhibits are up his sleeve for the Emerald City? Jon and Scott talk about his journey to leadership in the arts; the creative ways he's stretching the definitions of art and what's expected in a museum; the expansive Ai Weiwei exhibit coming to Seattle and more. Join us for Seattle City Makers with Jon Scholes and guest Scott Stulen.

De doorwerking van het slavernijverleden in het hier en nu: het is binnen de Chicks And The City Community een belangrijk onderwerp. Veel van de meiden hebben een familiegeschiedenis die connecties heeft met het koloniale en slavernijverleden van onze stad. Chicks Ashanti, Auralinda, Madelief en Nishaya zijn op zoek gegaan naar de invloed van het kolonialisme in het nu. Wat merken zij ervan in hun dagelijks leven? De meiden bezoeken een tentoonstelling rondom het koloniale verleden en Rotterdam in het Wereldmuseum. Kunstenares Roxy Capriles heeft de meiden aan de hand meegenomen door een tentoonstelling van de Chinese mensenrechtenactivist Ai WeiWei, die kunst gebruikt om aandacht te vragen voor de geschiedenis van zijn geboorteland. Daarnaast hebben Madelief en Ashanti onderzoek gedaan in het Stadsarchief om te kijken of er een connectie is tussen hun familielijn en het slavernijverleden.   Chicks And The City is al 20 jaar het mediaplatform in Rotterdam voor meiden- en jongerenparticipatie dat op verschillende manieren, in verschillende media, live en online, items en content maakt, activiteiten organiseert en onderzoek doet voor en door meiden – en iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in deze belevingswereld. Meidenemancipatie vormt in al onze projecten de rode draad.

A Fundação Louis Vuitton, de Paris, apresenta a mostra “Pop Forever”. A exposição revisita a corrente artística que surgiu nos anos 1950, com raízes no dadaísmo, e destaca a obra do norte-americano Tom Wesselman. Patrícia Moribe, em ParisSem manifesto e sem fronteiras, o pop foi uma das correntes artísticas mais importantes do século 20 e sua influência continua forte nas artes plásticas e na música até hoje. As cores, o psicodelismo, o objeto cotidiano como fonte de inspiração, a sensualidade e o absurdo são elementos recorrentes.Quem pensa em pop, pensa em Andy Warhol. Ele era o rei em uma Nova York efervescente, onde tudo era possível. Em seu espaço antológico, The Factory, flanavam intelectuais, dramaturgos, drag queens, artistas sem-teto, celebridades de Hollywood e milionários. Ele teria cunhado a frase de que no futuro todos seriam famosos por 15 minutos – e depois cairiam no esquecimento. Um dos quadros mais famosos de Warhol, um silkscreen da série retratando Marilyn Monroe está na exposição.Mas o fio condutor da exposição é a obra de Tom Wesselman (1931-2004), que morreu em 2004 aos 73 anos.“É uma exposição dupla, pois é, ao mesmo tempo, uma retrospectiva dedicada a este artista, Tom Wesselmann, que é considerado um dos pais fundadores do movimento pop”, explica Oliver Michelon, um dos curadores. “Mas também é uma exposição dedicada à arte pop, já que é, no fim das contas, uma leitura do pop a partir da obra de Tom Wesselmann e uma interpretação um pouco mais ampla do pop, já que vamos abordar as origens do movimento, por volta de 1960, até os dias de hoje”, acrescenta.“Tom Wesselmann, junto com Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol e James Rosenquist, é uma das primeiras grandes figuras do pop”, relata o curador. “Ou seja, ele aparece na cena artística de Nova York no começo dos anos 60 com obras que mostram objetos de consumo cotidiano, formas vibrantes, enfim, que fazem a arte passar para uma nova dimensão ao se apropriar da cultura popular. É uma espécie de detonador do pop. Desde o começo dos anos 1960 até o meio da década, e depois, obviamente, sua obra também evolui.”A mostra reúne 150 pinturas e trabalhos com técnicas mistas do artista. Há também 70 obras de outros nomes do pop, além de Andy Warhol, como os recordes de quadrinhos de Roy Lichtenstein, a releitura da bandeira norte-americana de Jasper Johns e as bolinhas de Yayoi Kusama.O projeto levou cerca de dois anos para ser concretizado e teve dois curadores convidados, Dieter Buchhart e Anna Karina Hofbauer. “Nunca é fácil conseguir os empréstimos, ainda mais de artistas excepcionais como é o caso”, diz Michelon. “Também pudemos contar com o apoio generoso da família Wesselman, que nos emprestou muitas peças.”O diálogo do pop acontece com artistas contemporâneos, como Jeff Koons e Ai Weiwei, além da nova geração representada por Derrick Adams, Tomokasu Matsuyama e Mickalene Thomas, que criaram peças especialmente para a exibição.“Pop Forever” fica em cartaz na Fundação Louis Vuitton até 24 de fevereiro de 2025.  

Richard Christiansen believes that the true definition of luxury is having one's senses on full blast—seeing, tasting, smelling, hearing, and touching the world around by engaging in its beauty and bounty to the fullest. This idea is at the heart of his company, the garden-pleasure apothecary Flamingo Estate, which is both a place—a home and garden on a seven-acre property in the hills of Los Angeles—and a brand, which operates a global farming collective and sells wellness, beauty, and “home essentials” products. In just a few years, Flamingo Estate has collaborated with cultural figures such as Julianne Moore, Martha Stewart, and Ai Weiwei, and created some 200 or so products, from C.S.A.-style farm boxes and flower arrangements, to scented candles and a rosé wine, to body washes and chocolates. Capturing the spirit of all this is a new book, Flamingo Estate: The Guide to Becoming Alive, which tells the story of his company's rapid rise and includes interviews with the likes of Jane Fonda, John Legend, and Alice Waters.On the episode, Christiansen talks about his lifelong connection with beekeeping and honey; why more brands should embrace “radical inconsistency” in their products; and how reading a book by Jane Goodall, and later befriending the anthropologist and conservationist, changed the course of his life.Special thanks to our Season 10 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Richard Christiansen[4:24] Flamingo Estate[8:05] Flamingo Estate: The Guide to Becoming Alive[46:21] Jane Goodall[12:48] Alice Waters[15:06] Harvey[35:35] Chandelier Creative[45:51] Benetton[45:51] Colors[50:35] Rumiko Murata[52:35] Owl Bureau[58:28] “The Summer Day”

COMPLETELY FRESH. Ai Weiwei is a contemporary artist, writer and humanitarian activist. Born in China in 1957, from 1981 to 1993 he lived in the United States. He currently has three exhibitions in New York:  Child's Play is at the Vito Schnabel Gallery at both 455 W 19th Street and 360 W 11th Street, and What You See is What You See is at Faurschou New York, 148 Green Street, Brooklyn. Ai Weiwei's exhibitions run to late February 2025. “I don't belong to anywhere at all or to any group, and I'm still trying to find out what is left, as a human and as an individual.” “Prison is one kind of human condition.” “You have to act out what you believe and make some actions, not just to change the world, but it's really self-teaching to change yourself. I change daily.”

Álex Grijelmo, el periodista, fundador de la Fundéu, la fundación del español urgente, publica 'La perversión del anonimato'. Un ensayo sobre este tema crucial hoy en día, sobre mantenerse anónimo, desde esa necesidad de nombrar las cosas, pasando por su relación con el derecho, con la ética, la fiscalidad o la cultura. Cuántos artistas lo han usado para un bien superior, para crear con mayor libertad... Sin ir más lejos en el caso de Banksy. Este 2024 las librerías se agarran aún más si cabe al lema que habían elegido: "El poder transformador de las librerías", y van a destinar un 5% de los beneficios de las ventas de hoy a través de todostuslibros.com a ayudar a las afectadas por la DANA. Hasta uno de esos negocios nos vamos a ir con Mireia Baixauli. Visitamos, con nuestra crítica de arte, Mery Cuesta, la exposición del IVAM valenciano titulada 'NOBOSUDRU', que explica el caso de una fotografía tomada hace casi un siglo en el Congo y de cómo ha sido utilizada y reapropiada de distintas formas.Además, vamos a escuchar a Ai Weiwei, que ha estado en León, en el MUSAC, presentando la muestra Don Quixote. Y ha hablado con nuestra compañera Ángela Núñez y vamos a abrir, como cada lunes, La Pequeteca de Leticia Audibert.Escuchar audio

Transformative Power of Art: Ai Weiwei's Stand for Palestinian Rights and Global Issues.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description:  In his recent graphic memoir “ZODIAC: A Graphic Memoir”, the renowned artist Ai Weiwei writes that artists should “ignite stories”, “fight for freedom” and “help us hope.” Over his long and defiant career, he has used his art in a wide variety of media to do just that. His past works such as "Sunflower Seeds" and "Remembering" confronted issues of censorship and human rights abuses in China; in a recent show in London, he asked questions of an AI Chatbot for his project “Ai vs AI”, including “Is there hope for peace?” Earlier this year, he faced criticism for his expressions of support for Palestinian rights and had a show in London canceled. In this wide-ranging conversation with Laura Flanders, they discuss the role of the artist and ask why is “Power so afraid of art and poets?” As attacks on free speech, surveillance and displacement continue to impact so many of us, how do we keep the doors of our minds open to possibility? And how can art and artists help lead transformation? All that, plus a commentary from Laura.“I'm not this kind of very active activist. I'm just being forced to act . . . But I'm proud of doing that because that is the meaning of life, to give dignity to life itself . . .” - Ai Weiwei“The real fear for me is [if] we lost [the] ability to ask the question. We lost our memory, we lost our sense of caring compassion . . .” - Ai Weiwei"We [do] not encourage people to have free thinking and judgment and that is the ground to produce Nazis or hypocrites. And that can come to political disaster . . . We have this kind of censorship because people cannot freely express their feelings.” - Ai WeiweiGuest:  Ai Weiwei: Conceptual Artist, Filmmaker & Human Rights Activist; Author, ZODIAC, A Graphic MemoirFull Episode Notes are located HERE.  They include related episodes, articles, and more.  Full Uncut Conversation (audio podcast)Music In the Middle:  LTJ Xperience remix of “Working On It” by Bread & Souls featuring Rich Medina produced by Mark De Clive Lowe courtesy of Mashi Beats.  And additional music included- "Steppin"  by Podington Bear.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Today is Day 138 of the war. Reporters Jeremy Sharon and Canaan Lidor join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Monday saw the start of six days of hearings in The Hague's International Court of Justice over the UN General Assembly's request for an advisory opinion by the ICJ on the “legal consequences” of Israel's 56-year rule in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. We hear what has been said so far. Israel Judicial Selection Committee met -- and appointed judges -- for the first time in nearly two years. Sharon explains why the two slots on the Supreme Court remain unfilled. A Palestinian artist who has in the past exhibited with renowned Chinese artist Ai Weiwei was arrested on last week during a search conducted by an IDF reservist battalion looking for weapons in a West Bank Bedouin village. Sharon delves into the case and shares why this is hardly an isolated case. Lidor was in Kiryat Shmona yesterday, just along Israel's border with Lebanon. Within the evacuated city, several stalwarts remain. Who are they? Earlier in the week, Lidor accompanied the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations umbrella group's first delegation to the south of Israel since October 7 and wrote about Eran Masas. Hear why his heroic story had the entire group crying. For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Live blog February 21, 2024 At World Court, South Africa says Israeli ‘apartheid' surpasses its own sordid past Israel accused of repressing basic Palestinian freedoms in ICJ hearing on West Bank rule Palestinian artist who exhibited with Ai Weiwei arrested during IDF West Bank search In Safed, a deadly rocket salvo fails to rattle deeply rooted residents On Oct. 7 killing grounds, a vigilante army vet inspires grieving US Jewish leaders THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Civilians and soldiers killed in Hamas's onslaught on Israel THOSE WE ARE MISSING: The hostages and victims whose fate is still unknown Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What do you eat for breakfast? In Episode 8 of “Three Ingredients” we introduce you to what might be the strangest way to start the day. It's also the most delicious. Then we talk about our favorite condiments with odes to great balsamic vinegar, truffles and vanilla in its many forms. And then, because we just can't help ourselves, we rag on one that none of us can stand. Laurie shares a funny memory of her first foie gras, Ruth speaks wistfully of a great bourbon she can no longer afford and Nancy goes hunting. This conversation is definitely going to make you hungry. So pull up a chair and join us.To receive new episodes of Three Ingredients as they drop, sign up to become a free subscriber. If you want to receive bonus posts, recipes, restaurant recommendations, photos and more, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.SHOW NOTESOops, I dropped …If you listened to Episode 2 of “Three Ingredients,” you heard us talking a bit about Michelin three-star chef Massimo Bottura, whose Modena restaurant Osteria Francescana was twice named the No. 1 restaurant on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list. Ruth was about to interview Massimo and his wife, Lara Gilmore, about their new book “Slow Food Fast Cars,” with recipes, stories and gorgeous photos about the food, art, design and people behind their playful and luxurious guest house Casa Maria Luigia outside of Modena. In this episode, Ruth tells us about the talk and the three of us exchange notes about our visits to Casa Maria Luigia.One of the delights of visiting Casa Maria Luigia is wandering around the property and viewing the art collected by Lara and Massimo, who finds inspiration for his cooking in the works of artists. Consider what he told Ruth about a dish of oysters and potatoes served beneath sheets of gold leaf as she tells it in this story of her first Osteria Francescana meal: “My mind is mixing Piero della Francesca — beautiful gold leaves — and Pistoletto seven hundred years later. But I'm also thinking of stainless steel in the sixties, and how people use tin foil.”A key piece we discuss in the episode is the triptych by Ai Weiwei called “Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn (Lego).” It dominates the living room of the guest house and, as Laurie wrote in the L.A. Times last summer, it's a kind of statement of purpose for Massimo. He is, after all, a chef who loves to break things and put them back together in his own way.Massimo's most famous reconstructed “broken” dish is the dessert Oops, I Dropped the Lemon Tart.As Nancy shares in this episode, the dessert inspired a brilliant save when she and her partner Michael Krikorian were bringing a vintage model Ferrari Formula 1 to Massimo as a gift. Before they could give the model car to Massimo the bag dropped, breaking the Ferrari into pieces. Rather than throw out the pieces, Nancy had another idea. Michael, who tells the full story on his website Krikorian Writes, enlisted the help of a Casa Maria Luigia server and hid the broken car under a cloche on a dinner plate. When Massimo lifted the cloche, Michael said, “Oops, I dropped the Ferrari!”Massimo's break-it-and-put-it-back-together philosophy appeared again when Nancy and Laurie had lunch at Osteria Francescana this past summer and experienced his latest menu called “We Are Here,” “reinterpreting,” as the restaurant puts it, “a selection of iconoclastic dishes of Osteria Francescana, bringing the best of the past into the future.”One example we discuss: “Tortellini or Dumplings,” Massimo's update to his now-classic “Tortellini Walking Into Broth,” which the chef told us was “the most scandalous, outrageous dish we did in the '90s.” That's because instead of a bowlful of tortellini this dish had just six perfect tortellini. (Most Italians are used to ten tortellini to the spoonful, our friend and writer Faith Willinger said in the Massimo episode of “Chef's Table.”) In his newest incarnation, five tortellini, looking a bit like cloves of garlic, might be mistaken at first for Asian dumplings. But when you take a bite, you taste the pure essence of tortellini.Now, about that breakfast …Sausage on a cookie with zabaglione? Sounds improbable. But Ruth and Nancy both have had and loved the Massimo Bottura dish — as dessert in New York when the chef was in town for his talk with Ruth at the 92nd Street Y and as breakfast at Casa Maria Luigia.The sausage is cotechino, which you can buy from most good Italian food shops (like Eataly). Should you be ambitious enough to want to make your own, here's a recipe from Lidia Bastianich. The cookie is sbrisolona, which means crumble cake. We have two sbrisolona recipes for our paying subscribers in a separate post, one from Massimo and Lara's book and one from Nancy.###Thank you for reading Three Ingredients.

Will China's economy recover during the Year of the Dragon? What is the UK's new tech that could control the weather? And how is the ‘Bayeux Tapestry' being updated? Join Georgina Godwin and David Bodanis for a round-up of the week's news and culture. Plus: the owner of The Steam Room, Tony Chung, joins us to talk about his collaboration with Ai Weiwei and Avant Arte for the Lunar New Year. 

As she stages a non-stop reading of Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism for five days at the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, Tania Bruguera reflects on growing concerns about the censorship of artists in Germany in relation to the Israel-Hamas war. She also discusses the comments made by Ai Weiwei this week that censorship in the West was now “exactly the same” as in Mao's China. The Courtauld in London this week opened an exhibition of the monumental charcoal drawings made by Frank Auerbach in the 1950s and early 1960s, and we take a tour of the exhibition with the show's curator Barnaby Wright. And this episode's Work of the Week is Mihrdukht Aims Her Arrow at the Ring, a folio from the Hamzanāma (Story of Hamza). Made in India in around 1570, during the Mughal period, it is one of the works acquired by the British painter Howard Hodgkin in a lifetime of collecting Indian art. The collection is the subject of an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which opened this week. Navina Najat Haidar, one of the co-curators of the show, tells us more.Tania Bruguera: Where Your Ideas Become Civic Actions (100 Hours Reading “The Origins of Totalitarianism”), Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, Berlin, until 11pm on Sunday, 11 February.

Why do so many contemporary Chinese artists use porcelain in their work? How do artists make sense of the legacy that porcelain has in China, and how do they use it to transmit ideas about China, Chinese art, and Chinese culture? In New Export China: Translations across Time and Place in Contemporary Chinese Porcelain Art (University of California Press, 2023), Alex Burchmore explores the place of ceramics in the work of four artists: Liu Jianhua, Ai Weiwei, Ah Xian, and Sin-ying Ho. By unpacking the history of porcelain production and export in China, the way artists make use of the unique features of ceramics, and the global reception of ceramics, Burchmore effectively demonstrates why understanding ceramics is central to understanding Chinese contemporary art. Filled with wonderfully nuanced readings of artworks and equally beautiful images, this book is sure to be of interest to readers looking to learn more about contemporary art and porcelain, and anyone looking to think about phrases like "Chinese art" and "mass production" in new ways.  Sarah Bramao-Ramos is a Research Assistant Professor at the Society of Fellows in the Humanities at the University of Hong Kong.

Ai Weiwei is possibly the most interesting man in the world. He is not only a famous contemporary artist. He was a top rated blackjack player, a political prisoner and released a heavy metal album about his incarceration. His installation, Kui Hua Zi, consisted of 100 million hand-crafted, porcelain sunflower seeds.

In Berkeley Talks episode 181, renowned artist and human rights activist Ai WeiWei discusses art, exile and politics in a conversation with noted theater director and UCLA professor Peter Sellars and Orville Schell, director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society and former dean of Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism.Ai, who grew up in northwest China under harsh conditions because of his poet father's exile, is openly critical of the Chinese government's stance on democracy and human rights. He is well-known for his provocative works, including his 2014-15 installation on San Francisco Bay's Alcatraz Island, @Large, that the LA Times called, "an always-poignant, often-powerful meditation on soul-deadening repressions of human thought and feeling.""Normally, people call me an artist or activist, and I am often forced into one condition," he says. "It's not that I intentionally try to create something or to crystallize something, but rather I've been put in extreme conditions, and I have to focus on dealing with those situations. Normally, I don't accept the easy answer. "So I think I have to find a language to illustrate my expression, and it comes out in certain ideas or materials. We can call it art. I don't think my art really looks like art, but still, it's hard to categorize it. I'm a bit ashamed about it because everything in real life, it has a purpose. It has clear problems and solutions. But the art is not really about that. It rather creates problems after problems. So yeah, that's what I do."This Sept. 24 event was co-presented by Cal Performances, the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) and the Townsend Center for the Humanities.Read about 10 of Ai WeiWei's adventurous works on Cal Performances' blog Beyond the Stage.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu)Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Photo courtesy of Ai WeiWei.

How can the most vulnerable countries protect against climate change if they're drowning in debt? A major international aid agency revealed this week that 93% of the world's worst-affected countries can't afford to safeguard against natural disasters. Some are being forced to slash public spending or invest in fossil fuel industries just to pay back their debts to central banks. Action Aid International says it's high time for a radical overhaul of the way debt is managed to stop the climate crisis spiraling – pointing to IMF and World Bank meetings this week in DC. The impact of our changing climate is all around us – just look at the two apartment buildings that collapsed in a landslide in Mexico this week. Scientists warn that climate change is only making such disasters worse.  Also on today's show: Peter Frankopan, Author, “The Earth Transformed”; Ai Weiwei, artist; Nicola Fox, Head of Science, NASA To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
