Podcast appearances and mentions of Anish Kapoor

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally, this week apologised for the Church of England's role in the forced adoption of children in the decades after the Second World War. We hear from former Labour MP Ann Keen, a trustee of the Movement for an Adoption Apology, on her experience and reaction to the apology, and Joanne Grenfell, the Bishop of Suffolk, who chaired the Church of England's working group on historical adoption practices.A new Anish Kapoor exhibition opened this week at the Hayward Gallery in London. Assistant curator Thomas Sutton tells us of the optical illusions, and blood and gore used to depict religious sacrifice. Dr Siobhan Jolley, lecturer in Christian studies at Manchester University, explains the significance of religious sacrifice throughout art history.Following Andy Burnham's victory in the Makerfield by-election, professor of politics at the University of Liverpool, John Tonge, explores whether the Labour MP's Catholic upbringing will make a difference to the way he governs if he were to secure the keys to Downing Street.Presenter: Ed Stourton Producers: Alexa Good and James Graham Studio Managers: Phil Booth and Joe Stickler Editor: Chloe Walker

In this special on-location episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, recorded at the Chicago History Museum on the occasion of His Majesty the King's official birthday, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Richard Hyde — His Majesty's Consul General in Chicago and the senior British diplomatic representative across 14 states in the American Midwest. Speaking just before the British Consulate's King's Birthday Garden Party, Richard explains what a Consul General actually does, why Britain doesn't have a National Day, how he approaches representing modern Britain to the heartland of America, and what King Charles's address to a joint session of Congress meant for the Special Relationship. The conversation also uncovers a remarkable piece of Anglo-Chicago history: after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Queen Victoria and 8,000 British donors — including Disraeli, Tennyson, and John Stuart Mill — sent books to Chicago, directly founding the Chicago Public Library. Plus: the Beatles, Frank Lloyd Wright's Welsh roots, Abraham Lincoln's North Wales ancestry, and why Chicago is Richard's favorite city in the world. Note: We had originally planned to do a 100th Q&A for our 100th episode, but a much bigger opportunity arose last week, which we thought was more fitting. We'll do the Q&A soon! Links British Consulate General Chicago Website UK In Chicago on Instagram British Consulate General Chicago on X/Twitter British Embassy Washington DC UK Government in the USA Chicago History Museum Chicago Public Library Foundation Hawksmoor Chicago Celtic Crossings Chicago Chicago Shakespeare Theater America 250 Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The United Kingdom is one of the only countries in the world without an official National Day — which is why British consulates abroad use the King's official birthday in June as their annual celebration, conveniently timed to coincide with Trooping the Colour. Richard Hyde covers 14 American states as Consul General — roughly 25% of the entire United States — including 105 members of the House of Representatives and 28 senators, making the Midwest a critical region for understanding where American politics is heading. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Queen Victoria personally led a donation drive that saw 8,000 British donors — including Benjamin Disraeli, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and John Stuart Mill — send books to Chicago, directly founding the Chicago Public Library. Victoria's personally signed copy of a biography of Prince Albert is still in the library's special collection. King Charles's address to a joint session of Congress during his America 250 visit was, in Richard's assessment, a masterclass in diplomatic communication — speaking to shared values rather than political divisions and reminding both nations of the deep historical thread connecting Magna Carta to the US Constitution. Frank Lloyd Wright's family were Welsh; Abraham Lincoln's great-great-grandfather came from a small village in North Wales just 40 miles from Richard's hometown of Liverpool; and Anish Kapoor — who designed Chicago's Cloud Gate Bean — is British. Britain's cultural fingerprints are everywhere in Chicago. The British Consulate deliberately chose the Chicago History Museum and the Chicago Public Library Foundation as partners for this year's King's Birthday event to honor the Victorian book donation story — and encouraged guests to donate to the Foundation in the spirit of Queen Victoria's original gesture. Richard argues that British culture in America is simultaneously everywhere and invisible — so deeply embedded in American music, film, language, and history that most Americans don't register it as foreign. The Beatles are the perfect example: four working-class kids from Liverpool whose music plays in every country in the world, including a Chinese restaurant in Somalia in 1998. The Special Relationship, Richard says, is ultimately about 80% agreement — both countries share fundamental values on democracy, freedom, and human rights, and the disagreements, while loud, are at the margins. King Charles's Congress speech focused on that 80%. Richard's most unexpected discovery in Chicago: Midwesterners are the most authentically friendly people he's encountered in 10 overseas postings. They follow up. They text you. They actually become your friends — not just professional contacts. Richard's message to young Americans: spend time abroad. Not a two-week vacation, but a semester, a few months, living in someone else's culture. It will change how you see America — and make you appreciate it far more deeply. Soundbites "I like to joke that Chicago is one of America's two great cities with proper downtowns. Everywhere else is sprawl. But the difference is — in Chicago, the people are nice, the streets are clean, and the food's better." — Richard on why Chicago stands apart. "We're celebrating America 250. We're celebrating the fact that this is the greatest startup in history. We argued a little bit and there was some spilled tea — and despite all of that, 250 years on, no two countries do more together in the world." — Richard on Britain's approach to America 250. "Queen Victoria and 8,000 British donors sent books to Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871 — and that donation directly led to the founding of the Chicago Public Library. Victoria's signed copy is still there. It's a gesture from 1871 that still resonates now." — Richard on the Anglo-Chicago library story. "The King rises above the moment. He was able to come at a challenging time in our relationship and remind Americans — and remind Brits — that there are fundamentally more important things than the moment we're in. And that is our shared values." — Richard on King Charles's Congress speech. "I've been all around the world. I've never really been a great theater-goer. But Ed Hall at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre has kind of infected me. I've become addicted to theater." — Richard on an unexpected Chicago conversion. "The flag in the United States is the symbol of their liberty. Our flag was created from existing countries we already had. So Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland — the Union flag is basically a combination of four different crosses. We didn't have to fight for it." — Richard on why Brits and Americans relate to their flags so differently. "I've lived here almost two years. Of all the places I've lived, this is the easiest place in the world to actually build a network of friends. You can stand in a bar and someone starts talking to you about the Cubs and fundamentally how terrible everyone is at the moment — and they actually follow up." — Richard on Midwestern friendliness. "The longer I stay away and the more I've represented my country overseas, the prouder I am of that country. Warts and all. I'm proud of the history — even the complicated history. You have to understand it, not erase it." — Richard on representing Britain from a distance. "I have to say — I saw Hamilton recently and the best character in Hamilton is the King. Everyone agrees. He has the best songs." — Richard on George III stealing the show. "If you ever get a chance to travel — and I say this to a lot of young Americans — don't mean a two-week vacation. Go spend a semester abroad. Go spend a few months in somebody else's culture. And you'll understand A, that the country you love isn't perfect. But the longer you think about it, the more you'll appreciate what your country does." — Richard's message to young Americans.

In this special bonus episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas launches an experimental new monthly format: a London events guide covering what's actually on in the city this month. June is arguably London's finest month — 16 to 17 hours of daylight, the longest evenings of the year, and an events calendar absolutely bursting at the seams. Jonathan walks through everything worth knowing about June in London: the major royal events including Trooping the Colour and Royal Ascot, the blockbuster summer exhibitions at Tate Modern, Tate Britain, the Royal Academy, the National Portrait Gallery, the V&A, and more, plus what's on in London theater from Shakespeare's Globe to the West End, live music at Wembley and the Roundhouse, and practical tips for surviving — and thriving in — a London heat wave. If this episode proves popular, Jonathan will make it a monthly fixture. Let him know what you think in the comments.

Trooping the Colour — the monarch's official birthday parade — is the major royal event of the year in 2026. Even without a ballot ticket to Horse Guards Parade, you can experience the procession on the Mall and the balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace by arriving very early and staking out a good spot. Every major summer blockbuster exhibition in London requires advance booking — some, like The Queen's Fashion at The King's Gallery, are already sold out through 2026. Book tickets as soon as you finish listening, even if your trip dates aren't confirmed yet. The Frida Kahlo survey at Tate Modern, the James McNeill Whistler retrospective at Tate Britain, and the Marilyn Monroe exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery are Jonathan's top three must-book exhibition picks for the month. The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition — the world's largest open submission art show, running since 1769 — is a uniquely chaotic, democratic, and wonderful experience where everything on the walls is for sale and any artist can enter. Shakespeare's Globe is staging Much Ado About Nothing from June 11, and Regent's Park Open Air Theatre opens A Midsummer Night's Dream on June 20 — watching Shakespeare outdoors on a long June evening is one of the quintessential London summer experiences. London generally does not have air conditioning in older buildings, hotel rooms, or most tube lines. The first thing you should do after arriving in summer is buy a fan — Jonathan recommends going straight to Argos, Britain's version of a catalog store, for an affordable one. The tube's older lines (Central, Piccadilly) get brutally hot in summer due to London clay absorbing and retaining heat underground. The Elizabeth line is fully air conditioned and runs east-west across the city — use it as much as possible in a heat wave. The National Gallery is experimenting with extended summer evening hours, staying open until 7 PM most evenings and until 9 PM on Fridays from July 1 — Jonathan's suggestion: have an early dinner, then walk over for a free evening of world-class art. Don't try to pack too much in. Pick three or four things you genuinely care about, build your days around those, and leave time to wander, sit in Green Park with a deck chair, or walk along the Thames in the long evening light. June in London is as much about the atmosphere as the attractions. ⠀ Soundbites "The light is the headline for June. You get sixteen to seventeen hours of daylight. Twilight stretches from around eight PM to nearly ten PM. You can have a full day of exploring, sit down for dinner, and still walk home along the Thames and have some daylight." — Jonathan on why June is London's best month. "If you've ever wondered what the best month to visit London is, a lot of people will quietly tell you it's this one." — Jonathan on June in London. Plan your day around it. Get up stupidly early — three, four, five in the morning — get your spot on the Mall and soak up the atmosphere. It'll be like a party atmosphere." — Jonathan on how to experience Trooping the Colour without a ticket. "The Queen's Fashion at The King's Gallery is sold out for the rest of the year, and I know a lot of people are gonna be really disappointed when they try to get tickets and they simply can't." — Jonathan's warning on the most in-demand exhibition of the summer. "The walls are packed from floor to ceiling and everything is for sale. It's chaotic and wonderful. And it's a great way to see up-and-coming artists and established artists side by side." — Jonathan on the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. "Shakespeare under the open sky in one of London's loveliest parks on a warm June evening — it doesn't get dark till ten PM anyway. Enjoy some champagne, enjoy some theater out in the green. That's my top theater pick for the month." — Jonathan on Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. "The first thing you should do after you land is go to what the British call an ironmonger — a hardware store — and buy a fan. Don't skimp. It is essential for Americans traveling in Europe." — Jonathan's number one summer travel tip. "The London clay is a heat sink. It absorbs heat and then it doesn't let it back out. So the tube gets really hot in the summer. If you are prone to heat issues, avoid the tube except the Elizabeth line, which is fully air conditioned." — Jonathan on navigating London in a heat wave. "I sat there in the rain in the 40s, got soaking wet. And I — not exaggerating — almost got hypothermia. It was July. I could not warm up when I got back to the hotel because the heating wasn't on and there weren't enough blankets because it was July." — Jonathan's cautionary tale about British summer weather. "Argos is exactly like Service Merchandise — you go in, there's a big catalog, you pick your thing, and it comes out on a conveyor belt. Get a fan. Don't even look at the weather forecast first. Just trust me — you're going to need a fan." — Jonathan's most practical London summer tip. ⠀ Chapters 00:21 Introduction — Jonathan launches the experimental monthly London events format 01:15 The Feel of June in London — Long days, the light, and why June is special 02:20 June Weather — What to expect, heat waves, and the maritime humidity problem 03:45 Peak Tourist Season — Crowds, hotel prices, and why June still beats July 05:00 Trooping the Colour — What it is, how to see it without a ticket, and Jonathan's tips for getting a good spot 08:30 Royal Ascot — Fascinators on the tube, the royal procession, and how to get tickets 10:00 Wimbledon — The ballot, resale tickets, strawberries and cream, and what to do if you can't get in 11:30 How to Book Exhibitions — Why advance booking is non-negotiable and the Queen's Fashion sellout warning 13:00 Frida Kahlo at Tate Modern — Jonathan's pick and why Tate Modern is worth seeing for the building alone 14:30 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (June 16) — The world's largest open submission art show 15:30 Anish Kapoor at the Hayward Gallery (June 16) — The Cloud Gate connection and why it's worth seeing 16:15 Marilyn Monroe at the National Portrait Gallery — Just opened, book fast 17:00 Barbara Hepworth at the Courtauld Gallery — And why Somerset House is worth a visit anyway 17:45 Schiaparelli at the V&A — Fashion exhibitions and why the V&A excels at them 18:15 Wes Anderson at the Design Museum — A treat for film fans 18:45 James McNeill Whistler at Tate Britain — A sellout show, book immediately 19:30 Wallace & Gromit at Young V&A — The Aardman exhibition Jonathan is hoping to catch in August 20:15 Closing This Month — Mikalojus Čiurlionis at the Royal Academy (closes June 21) and Hokusai at Dulwich (closes June 30) 21:00 Theater — Why June is the best time for London theater 21:30 Regent's Park Open Air Theatre — A Midsummer Night's Dream, Jonathan's top pick of the month 22:00 Shakespeare's Globe — Much Ado About Nothing from June 11 22:30 New West End Openings — To Kill a Mockingbird (June 25) and Cyrano de Bergerac (June 13) 23:00 Long-Running Shows — Lion King, Hamilton, Wicked, Six, Les Mis, and how to get discount tickets 24:00 Live Music — Harry Styles at Wembley, Olivia Dean at the O2, Orville Peck at the Roundhouse 25:00 Practical Tips: Heat — Does London have air conditioning?

Christoph Radl"Mise en scène"Ettore SottsassDario Cimorelli Editorewww.dariocimorellieditore.itMostraEttore SottsassMise en scèneFino al 15 febbraio 2026Triennale, MilanoApriamo un nuovo capitolo della ricerca sulla figura di Ettore Sottsass, insieme a Studio Sottsass. La mostra riunisce circa 1.200 fotografie in bianco e nero e a colori scattate tra il 1976 e il 2007, periodo che intercorre tra l'anno dell'incontro tra Barbara Radice ed Ettore Sottsass e l'anno della scomparsa di quest'ultimo.
Si tratta di un variegato paesaggio della loro vita privata e pubblica a casa e in giro per il mondo, per lavoro e per visite, con poche distinzioni. La vita tra i due ha sempre fatto poche differenze tra il pubblico e il privato.
Il titolo della mostra si riferisce all'idea di Sottsass che la vita, un poco come per la Commedia dell'Arte, assomigli appunto, alla “messa in scena”, abbastanza improvvisata di un vago canovaccio.A cura di Christoph Radl, Stefano Boeri, Micaela Sessa, Barbara Radice.Il volume apre un nuovo capitolo nella ricerca dedicata a Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007), presentando oltre mille fotografie in bianco e nero e a colori realizzate tra il 1976 e il 2007, scattate quasi sempre con la sua inseparabile Leica con obiettivo 21 mm, anni che segnano l'incontro con Barbara Radice e l'avvio di una vita condivisa, senza confini tra pubblico e privato. Le immagini raccontano un'esistenza nomade e intensa, da Milano all'India, dalla Tunisia all'Arizona, dall'Egitto alla Siria e al Qatar, passando per Gerusalemme, l'Iran, l'Algeria, il Messico, l'America, la Polinesia francese e la Nuova Guinea, fino alla Sicilia e a Filicudi, in un continuo attraversamento di paesaggi, interni, corpi e gesti quotidiani che trasformano la vita in una vera mise en scène.Il racconto visivo si intreccia con una costellazione di incontri e relazioni: i fotografi da Helmut Newton a Robert Mapplethorpe, insieme a Alfa Castaldi, Giovanni Gastel e Oliviero Toscani, i designer e gli architetti da Andrea Branzi a Michele De Lucchi, da Vittorio Gregotti a Carlo Scarpa, da Shiro Kuramata a Alessandro Mendini e Achille Castiglioni, fino ai collezionisti e protagonisti del sistema dell'arte e della musica come Jean Pigozzi, Max Palevsky, Carla Sozzani, Anish Kapoor e Mick Jagger. Le immagini mostrano una passione tradotta in rituale quotidiano, anticipando l'esposizione mediatica dei social della nostra epoca e restituendo un mondo osservato senza filtri.Christoph Radl è un designer e artista multidisciplinare internazionale la cui carriera abbraccia il graphic design, la direzione editoriale e le arti visive contemporanee. È nato in Svizzera negli anni '50 (San Gallo, spesso dicono nel 1954) ed è cresciuto in Austria. Arrivato a Milano negli anni Settanta per frequentare la Scuola Politecnica di Design, inizia a lavorare con l'architetto e designer Ettore Sottsass e il Gruppo Memphis. Nel 1984 fonda l'agenzia di comunicazione creativa con Sottsass Associati e nel 1993 apre il suo studio R.A.D.L.&, specializzato in progetti editoriali di comunicazione e graphic design per moda, design, editoria e arti visive. Ha collaborato con Armani, Ferragamo, Pucci, Trussardi, Alessi, Cassina, Sony, il museo Guggenheim di Bilbao in Spagna, il Museum of Contemporary Art a Chicago, tra i molti. Ha collaborato come Art Director di una rivista di culto come TERRAZZO e di INTERNI per diversi anni ed è attualmente Art Director e co-fondatore di CABANA Magazine.  Radl ha esposto in diverse mostre collettive e personali. Tra i progetti più recenti: “FAT BOY” alla Galleria Antonia Jannone di Milano (2025), una serie di acquerelli su un bizzarro personaggio ispirato alla civiltà precolombiana dei Mimbres, che viaggia attraverso la storia dell'arte dall'arte antica fino ai maestri contemporanei, da Baselitz a Mantegna, da Kounellis a Picasso.  Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Lauretta Colonnelli"La vita segreta delle ombre"Storie di luce, arte, silenzio e altri misteriMarsilio Editoriwww.marsilioeditori.itLa letteratura e l'arte di ogni tempo sono popolate di ombre in veste di spettri, spiriti, anime, simulacri, parvenze, illusioni, inganni. D'altra parte, le ombre ci accompagnano costantemente, a volte sono persino dentro di noi. Possono essere immagine della precarietà dell'uomo, ma anche del suo doppio ostile, della malinconia, della morte. Rispetto alla luce, l'ombra ne diventa il simbolo negativo: due poli estremi di un unico pensiero che contrappone il bene al male, il bello al brutto, la gioia alla tristezza, la conoscenza all'ignoranza. Ma se questa non fosse l'unica chiave di lettura possibile? Dopo aver svelato i segreti che si celano dietro ai colori, Lauretta Colonnelli prosegue la sua indagine rivolgendosi a ciò che rimane in loro assenza, quando la luce si spegne e i contorni si fanno indefiniti: dalla caverna del mito platonico alle umbrae accanto ai commensali nei banchetti romani; dai consigli per fabbricare ombre di Luigi Malerba al misterioso spettro del Brocken; dalle ombre colorate di Tintoretto alla «piccola nebbia» di Giorgio de Chirico, fino al Limbo nero di Anish Kapoor. Tratteggiando una storia culturale curiosa e coinvolgente, l'autrice guida il lettore in un vortice di vicende e personaggi insoliti che abbraccia tutte le forme dell'ombra, setacciando ogni ambito del sapere sulle tracce di un elemento tanto affascinante quanto sfuggente.Lauretta Colonnelli è nata a Pitigliano (Grosseto). Vive e lavora tra Roma e la Toscana. Laureata in Filosofia alla Sapienza di Roma, ha insegnato, nella stessa università, Storia del Teatro. Ha lavorato a Rai Radio 2 come programmista-regista. Giornalista dal 1979, prima alle pagine culturali dell'«Europeo», poi al «Corriere della Sera». Collabora con «Art e Dossier». Tra i suoi volumi più recenti, Le muse nascoste.

Vor dem Betreten des Schwarzen Lochs wird dringend gewarnt. Dennoch ist ein unvorsichtiger Besucher ins Schwarze Loch gestürzt – zum Glück nur in das des Künstlers Anish Kapoor. Im Universum hätte es kein Zurück gegeben. Lorenzen, Dirk www.deutschlandfunk.de, Sternzeit

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.

Growing up, Liz Kleinrock never felt like she fit into her Jewish community in Washington, D.C. Born in Korea and adopted into an Ashkenazi family, she constantly felt pressure to justify her Judaism—whether at Hebrew school, summer camp or synagogue. Years later, after becoming a professional antibias and antiracist educator, she met author Caroline Kusin Pritchard, and the two clicked. One day, they got an idea: to create an educational, illustrated, family-friendly book that redefines the face of Judaism—literally. The result is What Jewish Looks Like, released September 2024, which profiles unconventional Jewish icons. The collection includes British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor, historic Ethiopian community leader Uri Ben Baruch and American trans activist Jazz Jennings—about as varied a scope as one could imagine that crosses skin colour, religious affiliation and cultural identity. The book's launch has been met warmly in Jewish spaces. And yet, as Kleinrock and Kusin Pritchard tell Rivka Campbell on The CJN's podcast about Jews of colour, even on their book tour, they face microaggressions in every city. For them, it's a constant reminder of why this kind of content is needed—not just to educate younger Jewish generations, but older ones as well.

Atsoupé, artiste peintre, est l'invitée du 16ème épisode de Femmes artistes / Artistes femmes. Je l'ai rencontrée en juillet dernier, dans son atelier à Montrouge, en région parisienne, un petit atelier en fond de cour baigné de soleil. La joie de vivre émanait de son visage. Nous étions entourées de ses visages, pour la plupart plus grands que nature. Des visages aux regards francs, parfois sombres, ornés de matières et de couleurs.Après, une enfance africaine, témoin d'atrocités, Atsoupé poursuit sa scolarité en France. Victime à l'adolescence d'un accident grave, elle découvre la peinture, tout en réapprenant à marcher. Ce faisant, elle réapprivoise sa mémoire, partiellement effacée. L'art d'Atsoupé, « brut » de prime abord, se développe, s'enrichit et s'épanouit au contact des autres, durant ses années aux Beaux-Arts de Paris. Aujourd'hui jeune maman, Atsoupé vit entre Paris et la Bourgogne, auprès de son compagnon, artiste peintre également.Nous avons parlé de la peinture comme révélateur de souvenirs (et d'avenir), des rêves (ce qu'ils lui inspirent), de sa maternité, de sa manière de créer, si spontanée, de ses envies de peindre « radicalement », de peindre rien et tout en même temps, du sacré et de l'éphémère, de bleu, de rouge, de liberté, et de mouvement. Liberté de peindre n'importe où, n'importe quand. De ne peindre que des visages, mais en mettant tout dedans, l'océan, la pluie, le soleil, le jour. Et la nuit, aussi.Pendant cet entretien, nous avons aussi évoqué :Les artistes qui inspirent son travail :Pina Bausch, Cy Twombly, Jaume Plensa, Anish Kapoor et sa performance Leviathan, à l'occasion de Monumenta 2011 au Grand Palais à Paris.Références littérairesLes tisseurs de silence par Philippe Filliot et Soizic Michelot, Éditions Les heures brèves (2024)L'oeil le plus bleu de Toni Morrison Oeuvre décrite en intro de l'épisode : Visage noir sur fond jaune (2023) Encre et pastel sur papier 76 x 57 cmSes prochaines expositions :Salon Also Known As Africa (AKAA) avec la galerie Anne de Villepoix, du 18 au 20 octobre 2024Exposition collective Africains Everywhere (Région Centre-Val de Loire) du 19 au 20 octobre, du 15 au 27 octobre et du 1er au 3 novembre 2024Pour suivre Atsoupé : sa page Instagram @atsoupe et le site internet de sa galerie Anne de Villepoix  https://www.annedevillepoix.com/atsoupePour soutenir le podcast : suivre, commenter, étoiler !

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo', confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo' desta terça-feira (20/08/2024): O índice Ibovespa, o principal da B3, a Bolsa brasileira, alcançou ontem sua máxima histórica, com 135.778 pontos. O recorde de negócios na B3 acompanhou alta das bolsas americanas, em meio à redução das apostas de recessão nos Estados Unidos e diante da possibilidade de queda dos juros no país em setembro. Os investidores estão animados também com as projeções de crescimento do PIB brasileiro neste ano e com a percepção de convergência de posições sobre a inflação entre o presidente Lula e o diretor de Política Monetária do Banco Central, Gabriel Galípolo, mais forte candidato a assumir o comando da instituição. A expectativa é que a tendência de alta da Bolsa permaneça. Uma elevação da taxa Selic pelo BC para conter a inflação, como esperado pelo mercado, tende a atrair mais investidores para o País.  E mais: Política: Nunes e Boulos tentam conter ‘lacração' de Marçal, que vira alvo de MP Economia: Despesa com seguro-desemprego e abono deve subir 35% em 4 anos Internacional: Protestos expõem divergências na abertura da convenção democrata Caderno 2: Casa Bradesco abre as portas na Cidade MatarazzoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2016, Surrey Nanosystems created a substance known as "The Blackest Black." Immediately, a British artist purchased the exclusive rights to use the "Vantablack" substance in art. The art world was angry and started developing ways to strike back. In this episode, we talk about Vantablack, Anish Kapoor, Stuart Semple and more.

It's a colossus of glass, metal, and stone with a location that makes all the other Paris monuments envious. Located between the Seine and the Champs-Élysées, the Grand Palais was built for the 1900 Exposition Universelle world fair to showcase French art. Closed three years ago for its first complete renovation in history, it's getting a second lease of life for the Paris Olympics and Paralympics. FRANCE 24 takes you behind the scenes. Since its opening in 1900, variety has defined Paris's Grand Palais. From automobile fairs to agricultural events and horse competitions, its nave has seen dozens of events hosted under its majestic glass roof. And while it has held numerous commercial events, art has always been centre stage.During its 124-year history, wars have pressed pause on this vitality. During World War I, the Grand Palais was transformed into a military hospital. During World War II, it hosted two exhibitions in service to Nazi propaganda. But in the late 1940s, the nave returned to hosting exhibitions, with the first Renault 4L presented there, followed by the pressure cooker in the 1950s. After a few years of neglect, the nave was back in action for the FIAC (International Contemporary Art Fair) of 1977. A variety of events followed: carnivals, ice rinks, electronic music concerts and fashion shows. In 2017, Tour de France cyclists even crossed under its glass roof. For the Monumenta contemporary art exhibition, the nave was taken over by world-famous French and foreign artists: Christian Boltanski, Anish Kapoor and Daniel Buren, to name but a few. As part of the Art Paris contemporary art fair, Chinese photographer Li Wei flew under the glass roof, remaining weightless for 10 minutes for an iconic photo shoot.Make way for the OlympicsIn the summer of 2024, the nave of the Grand Palais will host Olympic fencing and taekwondo events, a first for this architectural gem. "Athletes and the public will take in a building that is one-of-a-kind in the world," Didier Fusillier, president of the Grand Palais, told us enthusiastically. "You have to imagine that, in the Grand Palais, you could fit the entire Palace of Versailles. This immensity will create the experience of an extraordinary Olympic event," he continued. But in order to organise the Olympics there and continue to use the Grand Palais, restoration work was essential. This vast project began in March 2021 and is expected to be completed in spring 2025.A renovation project facing daily challengesFour years of work, a budget of nearly €500 million and up to 1,000 workers on site every day are needed to renovate the building in record time, as the project's director Daniel Sancho explained to us. "We face technical challenges every day depending on the discoveries we make: lead, asbestos, and this slows down the construction," Sancho explained. Another challenge is the nave, with its 13,500 square metres of glass roof. When asked about insulation, Sancho smiled: "There is no insulation. We are in a greenhouse. In order to improve the comfort of the public, we have therefore decided to make the space comfortable at ground level. We have integrated a fluid-based heating system into the flooring: we circulate either cold water or hot water to achieve a reasonable level of comfort without having to heat the 450,000 cubic metres of the nave, which would be a waste of energy."Photographing the construction site to immortalise itFrench photographer and visual artist Marguerite Bornhauser was chosen by the Grand Palais in 2021 to capture the renovation project. The 35-year-old was given carte blanche to immortalise the work, which she calls an "endless" source of inspiration."Everything inspires me," she told us as she took us to the roof of the Grand Palais, which is usually inaccessible. "There are the aspects everyone knows about the Grand Palais, such as the wonderful nave and the immense size. And at the same time, I have an eye for detail, so I like the perks from the construction site – everything that falls to the ground, a glint of light – it's endless!”Bornhauser photographs these details with her digital and film cameras on the roof of the Grand Palais, in the nave, but also in the basement of the building, which she particularly loves. "The brightness from the construction site's neon lights is quite astonishing. It's spectacular, very theatrical. And I also find that it represents the workers' labour well. The men become a bit like shadows, there's a lot of chiaroscuro. It's dramatic actually with these lights falling like that, with these neon lights; the ceilings are lower, there are fewer colours, it's very, very different."In the coming months, Bornhauser will continue to photograph the construction site. Because while the work on the nave will be complete for the Olympics, it will continue in the rest of the Grand Palais until June 2025.

Federico Leoni"Metafisica dello specchio"Anish Kapoor e la poesia delle superficiMarsilio Artewww.marsilioeditori.itArtista del non-oggetto, poeta della dualità, autore di opere sospese tra materiale e immateriale, Anish Kapoor esplora la soglia che divide e riunisce luce e ombra, maschile e femminile, concavità e convessità, in un incessante andirivieni di pieni e vuoti. I suoi oggetti sono dotati di una presenza incisiva e sottrattiva insieme: massimamente consistenti, capaci di imporsi con forza irrefutabile, allo stesso tempo e per lo stesso motivo possiedono una qualità evanescente, illocalizzabile, fantasmatica. Sembrano essere nel mondo, ma anche disegnare un passaggio in cui il mondo è destinato a riversarsi per scomparire o da cui sembra dover risorgere.Grazie a opere come Sky Mirror, Cloud Gate, Dirty Corner, l'inesauribile ricerca condotta dal maestro degli opposti ci consegna «la più chiara esperienza di noi stessi, il nostro ritratto più ovvio, più quotidiano». In un tempo in cui tutto è «crosta delle cose», in cui oggetti e persone parlano di sé attraverso la pelle, lo specchio riporta in superficie la profondità, quella forma scura, quel buco nero che racchiude le domande fondamentali sull'Essere.Federico Leoni(1974) insegna Antropologia filosofica all'Università di Verona, dove dirige, insieme a Riccardo Panattoni, il Centro di ricerca «Tiresia» per la filosofia e la psicoanalisi.È coordinatore scientifico del festival Kum! di Pesaro. Scrive su «aut aut», «Alias», «doppiozero» e su varie riviste italiane e straniere.

The works respond to the period he lived part-time in New England between 2019-2023. The nostalgia associated with the architecture and landscape of the region led him to reflect on his own experience as a second-generation Korean-American and presenting this new chapter of his practice in Seoul, South Korea marks a full circle moment for the artist. Cozomo de' Medici curation continued Continuing their collaboration of curated releases, Cozomo de' Medici has selected Wiliam Mapan, Dawnia Darkstone, Laura El and Deekay as the first artists for the year ahead.

Followed by the release of Deekay's inaugural physical print, Love Ripples on Valentine's Day. Love Ripples sees Deekay's work printed on a mirrored metal composite by Avant Arte's master printmakers, Make-Ready who have led the way in creating innovative new printing methods to bring the digital into the physical realm. Avant Arte is known for collaborating with leading contemporary artists like Ai Weiwei, Anish Kapoor, Jenny Holzer and Nina Chanel Abney to produce and offer limited edition works - from sculpture and works on paper to NFTs and hand-finished screen prints.

Akram's rich career includes performing at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, collaborating with artists Anish Kapoor and Antony Gormley, and choreographing tours and videos for the likes of Kylie Minogue and Florence + the Machine. He was awarded an MBE for services to dance in 2005. He kindly invited us to his home last summer and we recorded this conversation in a shady spot in the garden. Akram is of Bangladeshi descent and he grew up above his parents' restaurant in south-west London. He was bullied at school and harassed by the National Front outside of it, so he's always had a conflicted view of his community. As a child, he was introverted to the point of being mute, and movement quickly became his primary form of expression. He tells me how he danced so enthusiastically at home that the lights in the restaurant below would start shaking, putting the customers off their food. The word ‘home' has come to mean many things for Akram: it's the small studio in the garden where he practises dance for four hours every morning, it's the stage on which he performs, and it's also his own body. As is the case for so many true artists, there's a lot of conflicting emotion inside him. He talks particularly poignantly about his relationship with his late father, who always struggled to demonstrate his love. Akram's story has really stayed with me. Being able to talk to people on this podcast is a great privilege, and conversations like this one really remind me of that.For more: Visit The Modern House website to see images of the spaces discussed in this episodeCheck out the latest from the Akram Khan CompanyProduction: Hannah PhillipsEditing and mixing: Oscar CrawfordGraphic Design: Tom YoungMusic: FatherThis episode was sponsored by Vitsoe Hosted on Acast.

Well, we made it to the end of the year (almost!), and we are back at the Art Angle with our monthly Round Up, where we bring together some of our esteemed reporters to talk about the big stories that are swirling in the air. Joining host Ben Davis this week to chat are senior editor Kate Brown and senior market reporter Eileen Kinsella. As always, there is a lot to talk about this month. First up, we'll discuss the the state of the art market as evidenced by the recent art auctions in New York, ahead of the final crash of art fairs of the year taking place in Miami. We'll also talk about the state of politics and culture in Italy, which interestingly enough, now involves a conversation about J.R.R. Tolkien, the beloved author of Lord of the Rings. Finally, we discuss artist Anish Kapoor and his Vantablack, ultra-black artworks, which are on view now at Lisson Gallery in New York.

Neil Thomas is the founder and director of Atelier One, one of the most creative engineering practices in the UK. The firm has worked on building projects such as Singapore Arts Centre, Federation Square in Australia, and Baltic in Gateshead, as well as with a hugely impressive roster of artists, including Anish Kapoor, Marc Quinn and Rachel Whiteread. It has also created stages for stadium rock shows from Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, U2, and Take That, often in collaboration with architect, the late Mark Fisher.The practice was the engineer behind the opening ceremony of London's 2012 Olympic Games and the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. While Neil also teaches at Yale and MIT.Over recent years, he has developed a fascination with bamboo and was part of the team that created the award-winning Arc building, a community wellness space and gymnasium for the Green School campus in Bali.In this episode we chat about: the role of a structural engineer; his ability to talk a number of design languages; the genesis of his obsession with bamboo and its extraordinary properties; overcoming bamboo's image problem; giving up a teaching post at Yale to build with the material; wanting to be an engineer from childhood; the importance of David Bowie to his life; and, er, having a pony tail in his youth.Support the show

What is the role of public art in our communities? And how has it changed across the timespan of human history? From the mysterious construction of Stonehenge in Scotland to Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate (affectionately called ‘The Bean') in Chicago, public art has always served a purpose. Whether it provides a space for sacred rituals or acts as a monument to a bustling metropolis, public art has the power to spark conversations and deepen our sense of community. Today, we are honored to welcome back Badir McCleary, whose passion and commitment to public art has led him across the country for Remote, an exclusive video series in partnership with NOT REAL ART! exploring and documenting public art in all its glorious complexity. Tuning in you'll hear us catch up with Badir, as we chat about the episodes he's done for Remote thus far, the fascinating artworks and artists he's come across, and what he's uncovered about the ever-evolving role of public art.

Talk Art SPECIAL EPISODE!!!! We go on an electric Art Adventure from Leeds to Edinburgh! Russell and Robert drive to Jupiter Artland in Edinburgh in a BMW electric iX to meet Jupiter's founder, the philanthropist Nicky Wilson, and discover some sculpture legends en route. Our first stop is the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds. We convene in their incredible library with Laurence Sillars, Head of the Institute, to explore their mission to inspire everyone to enjoy and study sculpture through their exhibitions, library, archive & research. We explore their current group exhibition 'The Weight of Words' and a solo show of Egon Altdorf (1922 - 2008). We chat to Errin Hussey to discover the Sculpture Research Centre with archive of sculptors papers including Helen Chadwick. Before driving through the countryside all the way to Antony's Gormley's iconic 'Angel of The North' in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. Since its completion in 1998, this epic public sculpture has become a treasured location for local families but also art lovers who make the pilgrimage from across the UK. It is believed to be the largest sculpture of an angel in the world and is viewed by an estimated 33 million people every year.We continue our trip all the way to Lindsey Mendick's new solo exhibition at Jupiter Artland in Scotland and meet Nicky Wilson, Jupiter's incredible founder and leading philanthropist. Jupiter Artland is an award-winning contemporary sculpture garden located just outside Edinburgh.

This week Melissa transports you to the Pucci Palazzo in Florence, Italy, for a conversation with Laudomia Pucci that covers fashion, food, her family's legacy in Florence, and much more. Laudomia Pucci is a native Florentine and the daughter of Emilio Pucci. She became the CEO of the PUCCI brand at just 28 years-old after her father's passing and has been integral to the international expansion of the brand… successfully overseeing its merger with luxury conglomerate LVMH. The Pucci family has been a prominent Florentine family since the 13th Century. Today, they're best known as the creative masterminds behind the luxury fashion brand PUCCI, created by Emilio. The bold, pattern-forward designs were beloved by Sophia Loren, Jackie Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe…to name a few. The designs truly embody the Italian Dolce Vita. Emilio was not only Italy's first ready-to-wear designer, but he was also one of the first Italian fashion brands to be headquartered in Florence.   Today, Laudomia is the President of Emilio Pucci Heritage – a site dedicated to nurturing brand culture and history. In this episode, Laudomia will discuss the Pucci fashion house, its legacy, her career, the future of fashion, as well as an intimate window into her Florence.And this week on Destination Hacks, Melissa highlights restaurants, hotels, and more attractions to include on your next trip to Florence! If you want more information on the hotels, restaurants, or museums mentioned in this week's episode, click on the links below:  Hotels:Four Seasons FirenzeVilla San Michele, a Belmond HotelRocco Forte's Hotel SavoyHotel LungarnoPortrait FirenzeThe PlaceHelvetia and BristolRestaurants:Cantinetta AntinoriBuca LapiAtelier de' NerliOsteria Cinghiale BiancoRistorante Il Profeta FirenzeOsteria dell' EnotecaMuseums:LaTinaia Al Bosco - Contemporary art foundation outside of Florence.

On this episode of the Lynckup Podcast we had the pleasure of talking to artist Farah Monday. We talked about how she got started in art, her love of skulls, true crime, Stuart Semple and Anish Kapoor beef and much more.      https://www.tiktok.com/@farahmonday     https://www.farahmonday.com/     https://www.instagram.com/farahmonday/     https://twitter.com/farahmonday     https://www.facebook.com/farahmondayart     "Farah Monday was born and raised in the mountains of Southwest Virginia and currently resides in the Winston-Salem, NC area. As an artist, Farah's creative passion and expressive technique evolved from her studies in fine art & graphic design. Her work, which reflects experiences & imagination, spans many mediums and showcases focused portions of larger compositions."

Over the years, we've been very fortunate to have some bona fide legendary artists on this show, from Ai Weiwei to Judy Chicago to Anish Kapoor to Ed Ruscha. But none of them, to my mind, are as surprising to talk to as the great performance artist Marina Abramović, who host Andrew Goldstien had the privilege of interviewing toward the start of this year. When you think about her art, what comes to the fore are profound themes of life and death, pain, and transcending the body. When you're talking to her, you think: wait, she's hilarious? And provocative, and blunt, and something like down-to-earth. We enjoyed the conversation about her work and her Abramovic Method so much that, this week, while the Art Angle team hits the beach for a little vacation, we thought we'd re-air the episode for your listening pleasure. In fact, the Abramovic Method might even come in handy for durationally enduring all this heat. Enjoy.  

On August 4th, 1986, it was discovered that the most expensive painting in Australia, 'The Weeping Woman' by Pablo Picasso, was missing from the National Gallery of Victoria's collection. Turned out it had been abducted by a cheeky new organisation no-one had ever heard of: the "Australian Cultural Terrorists” (the A.C.T) who were holding the painting ransom. Their demands? Increase funding to the arts, or the painting would be incinerated.  Was this really a crime? Or was it more of an act of protest? Or a piece of performance art? Whatever the ACT intended it to be viewed as, it's hilariously funny.  Jacob shares the story with long time friend of the podcast and guest host Stuart Semple. Follow Stuart on Instagram @stuartsemple Skip straight to the story: approx 13:21 We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this: Watch the fantastic documentary “Framed”  https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/framed Read this article from the day after the painting was found to be missing  https://www.theage.com.au/culture/art-and-design/from-the-archives-1986-victoria-refuses-stolen-picasso-ransom-demand-20210730-p58ei5.html Check out these articles, written 30 years after the painting went missing, featuring a few theories about who the Australian Cultural Terrorists were…  https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/thomas-dixon-first-person-weeping-woman-20160623-gpqixc.html https://www.crikey.com.au/2016/08/31/who-stole-picassos-weeping-woman-2/ To enjoy the Google reviews some folks have left for the Ann Freedman's new gallery, just google Freedman Art and scroll through reviews like this one:  “On the way out, a thin, curly, gray haired lady whispered that she could get me a Picasso for $500. I talked her down to $325!  Paint was barely dry!  It looks great, hanging over the cat litter box!” If you haven't heard Jacob's episode about the fued between Stuart Semple & Anish Kapoor, scroll back in your feed to episode #35 'Stuart Semple vs Anish Kapoor' Jacob caught up with Stuart last year too, scroll back to episode #99 'CHATTING WITH STUART SEMPLE' See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This weekend, guest host Taylor Nicole Rogers talks to Ukrainian filmmaker Iryna Tsylik, director of the documentary The Earth is Blue as an Orange. It won a major directing award at Sundance in 2020 and has now become one of the films being used to explain the current war in Ukraine around the world. The film was shot in 2017 in a disputed area of eastern Ukraine, and focuses on a family making home movies during the conflict. Iryna reflects on the power of art now that she's had to flee her own home. Then we hear from Louis Wise, who recently interviewed the sculptor Anish Kapoor about his grand plans for this year's Venice Biennale. --------------Special offers for Weekend listeners, from 50% off a digital subscription to a $1/£1/€1 trial are here: http://ft.com/weekendpodcast--------------Want to say hi?

This week we talk to the iconic techno musician Richie Hawtin, who never plans his live performances. He crafted his dark, rhythmic tracks in the early days of Detroit's techno scene and today collaborates with artists and designers, such as Anish Kapoor and Raf Simmons. His journey to mastering his craft required him to confront his shy, introverted nature, find routines to stave off nerves that could derail his performances, and nurture his energy flow.
