S10 E1—When you walk into a room, what does that room tell you about who you are as a human being? What assumptions go into our restaurants and civic buildings and churches and homes and schools? What do they say about who we are and about how we relate to each other? Artist and design researcher Sara Hendren joins Amy Julia Becker to explore how modern spaces—from office buildings to nursing homes—shape what we believe about dignity, dependence, and belonging. Together they uncover how design can either diminish or restore our shared humanity, and why the good life depends on reimagining how we live together.00:00 Introduction to Design and Humanity05:24 Understanding the Machine Model and Anti-Human Design14:32 What Spaces Communicate About Being Human29:29 Design Choices and Human Dignity34:49 Innovations in Dementia Care Design37:26 Art and Dignity for Individuals with Disabilities41:32 The Metaphysics of Dignity and Human Connection51:07 Designing for the Good Life: Relationality and CommunityMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:What Can a Body Do?

Photographer Jess T. Dugan and writer Charlotte Cotton join PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf to discuss their 2 volume book, Love Pictures, published by Radius Books. Developed through their friendship and an ongoing dialogue between Dugan and Cotton, Love Pictures explores key themes shaping Dugan's photographic practice, including gender and identity, family and politics, writing and language, the photobook as object, and the dynamics of exhibition spaces. These conversations expand outward to include voices from their broader creative communities, featuring contributors such as Dawoud Bey, Kelli Connell, and Dorothy Moss. In this episode, Jess, Charlotte, and Sasha discuss how this project evolved from an intimate exchange into a comprehensive survey of Dugan's work. Jess T. Dugan Charlotte Cotton Jess T. Dugan (b. 1986, they/them, lives in St. Louis) is an artist whose work explores identity and the complexities of the human condition. While their practice is centered around photography, it also includes writing, video, audio, drawing, and installation. Their work is regularly exhibited internationally and is in the permanent collections of over seventy museums. Charlotte Cotton (b. 1970, lives in London) is a curator and writer who explores photographic culture. She has held positions at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Photographers' Gallery, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Katonah Museum of Art, International Center of Photography, and California Museum of Photography. Her book, The Photograph as Contemporary Art, has been published in fourteen languages and has been a key text in charting the rise of photography as an undisputed art form in this century.

Ella plasma respeto en el vestir y logra congruencia y belleza. Moda ética es el nombre de su juego. Es inquieta, independiente, curiosa nata, comprometida y trabajadora. Cuestionadora del estatus quo como su madre, apasionada de lo que es genuino. Cuando la convicción es sólida, es posible darse el lujo de resistir la tentación de escalar agresivamente y aún así ser relevante. Es más, justo por eso lo es. Y así es como hace negocio.ACERCA DE CARLA: Es historiadora del arte, es fundadora de Carla Fernández, la firma de moda  y textil que lleva su nombre.

We begin in Tashkent before moving to Samarkand and finishing in Bukhara, exploring a number of architectural sites, crafts and traditions along the way. In our discussion we ask how the richness of Uzbekistan's cultural heritage came to be considered on the periphery of the Persianate world.Our guest is Fuchsia Hart is The Sarikhani Curator for the Iranian Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. She has written for the publications like The Guardian and the Oxford Review of Books, and spoke or lectured at institutions like The Wallace Collection, SOAS, and the Royal Asiatic Society. In 2025, Fuchsia completed her DPhil in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Oxford with a thesis exploring Fath ‘Ali Shah Qajar's patronage of the major shrines of Iran and Iraq.This episode is part of our series Peripheries which seeks to push our understanding of the cultural heritage of the Islamic world away from the traditional centres that we associate with it. With a fantastic range of guests we will examine places and topics often considered peripheral to the Islamic world and understand why they are in fact of central importance to the region's cultural heritage, from Armenia to England, from Ethiopia to West Africa.

Entre inspiration et innovation stylistique, leurs créations célèbrent une scène artistique dynamique aussi variée que le continent lui-même.Africa Fashion présente la mode africaine comme une forme d'art qui se définit elle-même et qui révèle la richesse et la diversité des histoires et des cultures africaines. Pour l'occasion, le musée met en lumière sa collection de textiles, accessoires et bijoux africains, ainsi qu'une sélection de photographies issues de ses archives et collectées auprès du public.Renaissance culturelleLes bouleversements politiques et sociaux qui accompagnent les mouvements d'indépendance en Afrique dès les années 1950 ont ouvert une longue période de créativité dans le domaine de la mode, de la musique et des arts visuels. Cette première section présente ainsi de nombreuses archives (affiches, publications, enregistrements, revues, photographies…) témoignant des changements radicaux intervenus au cours de ces années de libération, entre le milieu et la fin des années 1950 à 1994, coïncidant avec la fin de l'apartheid en Afrique du Sud.Regard politique et poétique sur le textileDans ce contexte de lutte et d'émancipation, la fabrication et le port de tissus africains traditionnels deviennent des actes politiques. Cette deuxième section met en lumière l'importance du textile dans de nombreux pays africains : des imprimés à la cire, des tissus commémoratifs, des àdìrẹ (tissus imprimés à la teinture indigo), des kenté (étoffes multicolores composées de bandes tissées en soie ou en coton) et des bògòlanfini (tissus bicolores teints à partir de terre et de matières végétales), autant de fragments d'une histoire textile plurielle, façonnée par de nombreuses techniques issues de l'ensemble du continent.Avant-gardeAu milieu du 20e siècle, la mode africaine connaît un tournant avec l'émergence de créateurs dont les marques se diffusent largement au niveau local, national et international. Le continent connaît alors un élan de créativité. Afin de témoigner de cette effervescence créative, cette troisième section propose de s'arrêter sur le parcours de cinq créateurs africains emblématiques du 20e siècle : Shade Thomas-Fahm (né en 1933), Chris Seydou (1949 – 1994), Kofi Ansah (1951-2014), Alphadi (né en 1957), Naïma Bennis (1940-2008) représentent la première génération de designers africains à attirer l'attention internationale.[...] Hébergé par Acast.

The Grand Palais in Paris this week unveiled an enormous exhibition focusing on the final 13 years of Henri Matisse's life and work, a project conceived by the Centre Pompidou. The show includes abundant examples of the celebrated gouache cut-outs, his works for the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence, and his final paintings, drawings, and illustrated books, among much else. Ben Luke interviews the exhibition's curator, the Centre Pompidou's Claudine Grammont, in Paris. The latest edition of Art Basel Hong Kong opened this week amid much uncertainty about the Hong Kong art world after a prolonged downturn in the Chinese economy. Yet, some commentators are suggesting that Hong Kong has turned a corner. The Art Newspaper's chief contributing editor, Gareth Harris, has been in Hong Kong this week and tells us what he discovered. And for this episode's Work of the Week, we focus on a related painting and dress. The painting is Salvador Dalí's Necrophiliac Spring (1936), which was owned by the fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli; the dress is the Tears Dress with Veil, from Schiaparelli's Circus Collection of 1938, made with a fabric designed by Dalí. The painting and the garment are in Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, which opens this weekend, and Ben talks to Rosalind McKeever, one of the three curators of the exhibition, about the pairing.Matisse 1941-1954, Grand Palais, Paris, until 26 July.

“Licornes !” au musée de Cluny, musée national du Moyen Âge, Parisdu 10 mars au 12 juillet 2026Entretien avec Béatrice de Chancel-Bardelot, conservatrice générale au musée de Cluny, et commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 9 mars 2026, durée 26'50,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2026/03/12/3694_licornes_musee-de-cluny/Communiqué de presseCommissaires :Béatrice de Chancel-Bardelot, Conservatrice générale au musée de Cluny (Paris)Michael Philipp, Conservateur en chef au Museum Barberini (Potsdam, Allemagne)Vous pensez tout savoir sur la licorne ? Animal fantastique omniprésent dans la culture populaire, elle n'en reste pas moins pleine de mystères. Du 10 mars au 12 juillet 2026, le musée de Cluny décrypte toutes ses facettes avec l'exposition « Licornes ! ».Créature mythique, la licorne a longtemps été considérée comme réelle. Animal inaccessible, indomptable et extraordinaire, elle inspire les artistes depuis l'Antiquité. Marco Polo lui-même dit en avoir croisé une au cours de son voyage en Asie. Si l'époque moderne se résout à admettre son caractère légendaire, la licorne reste présente dans l'imaginaire des petits comme des grands et a laissé des traces profondes dans l'histoire de l'art.Pour les découvrir, le musée de Cluny, où sont conservées les célèbres tapisseries de la Dame à la licorne, constitue un écrin idéal. L'exposition, composée de 9 sections thématiques, revient sur les multiples aspects de la licorne à travers une sélection d'une centaine d'oeuvres.Créature universelle, on croise la licorne dans la vallée de l'Indus vers 2000 avant notre ère sur un sceau gravé ; en Chine au cours de la dynastie des Han (Qilin sculpté vers 206-220) ; ou sur un plat en faïence du XVIIe siècle provenant de Turquie (Plat avec licorne, cerf et lion). À la fin du XVe siècle, Bernhard von Breydenbach, chanoine de la cathédrale de Mayence, la décrit parmi les animaux exotiques qu'il a rencontrés lors d'un pèlerinage en Terre Sainte (Le saint voyage vers Jérusalem).La licorne peut être à la fois sauvage comme sur une couronne de Torah en argent de 1778, et guérisseuse, puisque sa corne est dotée de vertus purificatrices. Ainsi, le « Danny Jewel » conservé au Victoria and Albert Museum est réalisé vers 1550 pour contenir un fragment de corne de licorne – en réalité de la dent de narval – à mettre en contact avec ses aliments pour se prémunir de tout poison. Alors que la licorne est parfois agressive et inquiétante, comme sur un aquamanile conservé au musée de Cluny, elle peut également se faire tendre et amoureuse, comme sur une huile sur toile vénitienne de 1510 environ (Femme et licorne, conservée au Rijksmuseum).[...] Hébergé par Acast.

On November 10, 2012, Sam Hamill and Ian Boyden joined together to do an interview on Hamill's chapbook Border Songs, as well as Habitations, a collaboration between the poet, Sam, and the painter, Ian. Fewer than a dozen copies were made of the book, although in the interview Boyden recommends you forget whatever notions you hold about what a book is and can be. About 3 feet high and 10 inches wide, the cover made of fossilized maple, this book was the result of the organic collaboration between these two artists. Each page was a painting done by Boyden, using his typically atypical pigments and binders such as carbon, shark teeth, meteorites, and fresh water pearls, with the text of Hamill's poem etched into the painting by laser. In addition to the interview, at the Spring Street Center on the corner of 15th and Spring in Seattle's Cherry Hill neighborhood, Boyden spoke and took a Q&A about the collaboration and his methods, and Hamill gave a reading from his chapbook Border Songs, published by Word Palace Press.  (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) Sam Hamill was the Founding Editor of Copper Canyon Press and author of more than forty volumes of poetry, essays, and celebrated translations from ancient Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Latin, and Estonian. Ian Boyden is an artist and writer currently working in the Blue Mountains southeast of Walla Walla, Washington. His practice in paintings and books, displays a fundamental drive to link the literary, material, and visual imagination. He makes his own paints and inks from unusual materials such as meteorites, shark teeth, and freshwater pearls. His work has been exhibited widely and is found in many public collections including Reed College, the Portland Art Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Suzhou Museum.

100 years ago this year, on a grey January day in 1926, the very first public demonstration of a new piece of technology was given in Soho, London by John Logie Baird. Called by its inventor a televisor, it would soon become a ubiquitous presence in flats and houses across the world known as a television. It's been reported this week that after 100 years of the device showing content designed for it, the television is now the preferred medium for people of all ages to watch algorithm-driven content on Youtube. ….. one of the biggest creators of content in the world It's no longer the case that we, the viewers, watch only what production companies make for us. We film ourselves on our phones, upload them ourselves and watch ourselves. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has just recognised the importance of short form video as a cultural development by exhibiting the very first video uploaded onto the platform. Entitled ‘Me at the Zoo', it's a 19 second clip that has been viewed 380 million times since it was first posted in April 2005. The fact that we are watching, even on our traditional televisions whatever we want when we want is part of a development that has been happening for some time. It's a development that reveals to us what we value, what we will pay for, what we will put effort into. It appears to tell us that what we want more than anything - is to maximise our ability to choose. It is one of the axioms of our contemporary culture that individual choice is not only desirable but essential for a fulfilling happy life. And that's of course true. At the opposite extreme, a person who is not able to exercise any choice is enslaved, something that is both immoral and illegal. Freedom to choose how we live, what we eat, what we do, is a fundamental aspect of human nature not least according to Christian teaching, which insists that human beings have had free will, from the Garden of Eden onwards, made as we are in the image of God. But Christian spiritual practice will also teach us to stay alert to the illusions and deceptions that accompany the elevation of choice above all else. And what we now know is that as we're scrolling, we're not so much acting as a free human being, but more as an impressionable consumer, subject to the power of the algorithm. Fundamental questions are raised by an ethic that pursues choice above everything else, especially when it sits in the corner of our living space. The new tipping point we've reached faces us afresh with the questions we face when we choose: in whose interest, to whose benefit and, ultimately together, to what end.

In the wide realm of Shakespeare worship, the house in Stratford-upon-Avon where William Shakespeare was born in 1564 – known colloquially as the 'Birthplace' – remains the chief shrine. It's not as romantic as Anne Hathaway's thatched cottage, it's not where he wrote any of his plays, and there's nothing inside the house that once belonged to Shakespeare himself. So why, for centuries, have people kept turning up on the doorstep? In Shakespeare's House: A Window onto his Life and Legacy (Bloomsbury, 2023) Dr. Richard Schoch answers that question by examining the history of the Birthplace and by exploring how its changing fortunes over four centuries perfectly mirror the changing attitudes toward Shakespeare himself. Based on original research in the archives of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon and the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, and featuring two black and white illustrated plate sections which draw on the wide array of material available at the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum, this book traces the history of Shakespeare's birthplace over four centuries. Beginning in the 1560s, when Shakespeare was born there, it ends in the 1890s, when the house was rescued from private purchase and turned into the Shakespeare monument that it remains today. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Interviews by Brainard Carey

Paul Scott in print studio with cut Wild Rose detail Paul Scott (b. 1953, United Kingdom) is a UK-based artist, living and working in Cumbria, with a diverse practice and an international reputation. Creating individual pieces that blur the boundaries between fine art, craft, and design, he is well known for his research into printed vitreous surfaces, as well as his characteristic blue-and-white artworks in glazed ceramic. Scott's artworks can be found in public collections around the globe, including the National Museum, Norway; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, UK; National Museums Liverpool; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA; and the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY. Commissioned work can be found in a number of UK museums, as well as in public places in the north of England, including Carlisle, Maryport, Gateshead, and Newcastle upon Tyne. He has also completed large-scale works in Hanoi, Vietnam, and at the Guldagergård public sculpture park in Denmark. A combination of rigorous research, studio practice, curation, writing, and commissioned work ensures that his practice continues to develop. His work is fundamentally concerned with the reanimation of familiar objects, landscape, pattern, and a sense of place. He was professor of ceramics at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO) from 2011–2018. Scott received his Bachelor of Art Education and Design from Saint Martin's College and his PhD from the Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art and Design in England. His current research project, New American Scenery, has been supported by an Alturas Foundation artist award, Ferrin Contemporary, and funding from Arts Council England.

Mentre a Londra il Victoria and Albert Museum ha deciso di aprire al pubblico il suo stesso magazzino, che è così diventato una sorta di museo nel museo, a Parigi il Centre Pompidou rimarrà chiuso per cinque anni per restauri, pur cercando di far vivere la sua collezione fuori dalle sue storiche mura. Due opposte storie che portano alla ribalta il futuro degli spazi museali. Non è solo una questione di luoghi però: in questi anni spesso i musei hanno raccontato con nuovi sguardi il nostro passato artistico, storico e culturale, ma oggi c'è chi li accusa di essere troppo politicizzati.Ma qual è allora il ruolo dei musei? Ne parlano Alessandra Quarto, direttrice del Museo Poldi Pezzoli di Milano, Simone Verde, storico dell'arte e direttore degli Uffizi di Firenze, e Chus Martinez, direttrice dell' Institute Art Gender Nature di Basilea nonché membro del CIMAM, network globale di esperti di arte moderna e contemporanea.

Jay Osgerby on Imbuing Objects With Meaning

The British designer Jay Osgerby believes in designing rigorously simple objects that are deeply felt and, hopefully, appreciated for generations to come. As the co-founder of the London-based industrial studio Barber Osgerby, Jay and his partner in the firm, Edward Barber, emphasize experimentation, innovation, and a material- and craft-forward design approach to their products, furniture, architecture, and interiors. Across their nearly 30-year history as a studio, Barber Osgerby has taken a “fewer, better things” approach and along the way built a rich and varied body of work that includes the 2012 London Olympics torch, a commemorative £2 coin (2012), a Victoria and Albert Museum installation with BMW (2014), Vitra's Tip Ton chair (2011), and paper lanterns crafted by Ozeki & Co. in Gifu, Japan. Each project exudes clarity, calm, and consideration—and always a sense of character. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Osgerby shares his optimistic views on A.I. as a means toward more people engaging in craft and handwork; considers what his years inside factories and surrounded by craftspeople have taught him about human ingenuity; and reflects on objects as vessels for memory, history, and soul.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: Jay Osgerby[05:08] Flos[8:37] 2012 London Olympics torch[8:37] £2 coin (2012)[8:37] Victoria and Albert Museum[8:37] London Design Biennale[14:18] Design Museum in Tallinn, Estonia[14:18] Isokon[15:58] Dieter Rams[15:58] Ettore Sottsass[15:58] Memphis Group[15:58] Rationalism[20:25] Pitt Rivers Museum[24:56] Vitra[28:49] Arts and Crafts Movement[29:09] Glenn Adamson[31:01] Bill McKibben[36:38] Blueprint[36:38] Paul Smith[38:01] Galerie Kreo[39:00] Tyler Brûlé[41:36] Venini[51:34] Vico Magistretti[51:34] Achille Castiglione[53:07] Ozeki & Co.

Intresset för mode bidrog till hennes död, men det är också mode som fått hennes namn att leva vidare. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Vi talar förstås om den franska drottningen Marie Antoinette. Denna kvinna som 1793 blev giljotinerad vid 37 års ålder. Idag ska vi glänta på dörren till Marie Antoinettes enorma garderob.Hon lät inte bara beställa 300 nya klänningar om året, hon bar aldrig samma outfit två gånger. Hennes klädbudget låg på drygt tio miljoner kronor per år, i dagens penningvärde.På Victoria and Albert Museum i London pågår just nu – och fram till i vår – utställningen “Marie-Antoinette's Style”. Där berättar kläder, porslin, skulpturer, smycken och bilder från över 250 år historien om en av världens mest mytomspunna personer, vi hör curatorn Sarah Grant berätta om utställningen.Till sin hjälp för att bli en sorts 1700-talets ”influencer” av rang hade Marie Antoinette ett par skickliga kvinnor. En av dem var Rose Bertin som stod bakom idéerna till hennes klänningar, och accessoarer. Den andra kvinnan som bidrog till att Marie Antoinette, och hennes stil, synliggjordes var konstnären Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun. Vi ringer upp Cécile Berly, fransk historiker specialiserad på 1700-talet för att höra mer om kvinnorna bakom Marie Antoinettes stil.Nyligen lät Netflix meddela att de är i full fart med att producera en långfilm om Axel von Fersen, och hans syster Sophie, som under sin tid var kända som ett av Europas hetaste ”it-syskon” par. Rollen som Axel von Fersen kneps av skådespelaren Christian Fandango, som förutom mask och kostym, även hade andra knep för att komma in i rollen som Marie Antoinettes älskare.

Lady Charlotte Schreiber, Extraordinary Art Collector (Lund Humphries, 2025) emphasises Lady Charlotte Schreiber (1812-1895) — also known as Lady Charlotte Guest, née Bertie — as one of the most significant women in the history of collecting. An extraordinary collector, historian and philanthropist, Charlotte subverted gendered norms and challenged Victorian conventions. This new study establishes Charlotte's contribution to ceramic history and cultural education, and demonstrates her influential role in transnational artistic networks. Charting Charlotte's eventful life, Dr. Caroline McCaffrey-Howarth focuses on her identity as a renowned connoisseur, whose donation of thousands of objects to the Victoria & Albert Museum and the British Museum marked a pioneering move for a female benefactor. Lady Charlotte Schreiber, Extraordinary Art Collector presents unique insight into the social and cultural world of Victorian England and the role of women within this.

We meet Alev Ebüzziya Siesbye (b. 1938, Istanbul, TR) is a ceramic artist known for her refined, monochrome stoneware bowls, which she has been producing for nearly sixty years. Working with the ancient coiling technique and a traditional wooden kick wheel, Ebüzziya Siesbye creates vessels that bear the intimate marks of her hand, balancing density and spaciousness, firmness and fragility. Fired at high temperatures, her bowls possess a stone-like solidity, while their sharp-edged lips and small, recessed bases lend them an impression of levitation. Though often unadorned, some pieces feature delicate horizontal lines along the rim to, as the artist describes, “prevent them from lifting off the ground.”Ebüzziya Siesbye studied sculpture at the Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts before working at ceramic studios in Höhr-Grenzhausen, DE, and Istanbul. In 1963, she moved to Denmark to join the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory, later founding her first independent studio in Copenhagen in 1969. She has lived and worked in Paris since 1987. She has been awarded many honors, including the 2022 Danmarks Nationalbank's Anniversary Foundation Honor Award and the Aydın Doğan Award, and her work has been the subject of retrospective exhibitions at the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts, Istanbul (TR), and the Museum of Decorative Arts, Copenhagen (DK).Ebüzziya Siesbye's ceramics are held in numerous museum collections, including the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, New-York (NY); the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (UK); the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA); Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris (FR); Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (NL); the Museum of Decorative Arts, Copenhagen (DK); the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm (SE); the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh, (SCT); and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (TX), among others.Follow @Salon94 on Instagram.Alev's current solo show ‘Vibrations' which runs in New York at Salon 94 until 8th August 2025, address 3 East 89th Street: https://salon94.com/exhibitions/alev-ebuzziya-siesbye-vibrations Hosted on Acast.
