Podcasts about Art history

The artist Agnes Denes saw it coming. Machines taking over. Technology converging with consciousness. History on a pendulum swinging perilously back and forth. In this intimate conversation recorded with host Charlotte Burns in Denes' downtown Manhattan loft apartment and studio space, they talk about her work. When Denes wrote about these things more than 50 years ago, it was prescient, unsettling, and brilliant. Now the artist is in her mid-90s and is still writing and making art every day. And she's still asking the questions that matter: What is humanity's purpose? What is love? How do we survive? Denes planted wheat in downtown Manhattan on landfill that would become Battery Park City. She made ecological art before climate change was front page news. Her work spans conceptual art, poetry, drawings, installations, sculptures, writings and more. Twenty thousand pieces, mostly never seen. Today? She hands out wheat seeds like promises. Plant hope. Harvest peace. Become part of the art. The questions never change, she says. Only their importance shifts. What if we listened? Follow us: @schwartzman.art Website: www.schwartzmanand.com/  

*This is the Free Content version of my interview with Dr. Mariano Villalba. To access the full interview, please consider becoming a paid Patreon member; alternatively, this episode is also available for a one-time purchase here on Patreon (under 'Shop' tab). www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion My guest this month is Dr. Mariano Villalba. Mariano is a postdoctoral fellow in Spirituality and the Arts, in collaboration with the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice, the History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents at the University of Amsterdam, and the Warburg Institute at the University of London.Mariano specializes in esotericism in Colonial America, contemporary Latin America, and early modern Spain. He completed a joint PhD in religious studies at the University of Lausanne and the French l'École Pratique des Hautes Études- Paris Sciences & Letters University.Mariano serves as the editor in chief of Melancolia, an annual journal dedicated to the study of esotericism in Latin America. His methodology combines a global history perspective on Colonial America with a decolonial approach, intersecting themes of race, gender, and imperialism to analyze modern occultism in Latin America. His new research project will focus on “Occult Movements and Mexican Mural Art: What Role Did Occult Movements Play in Mexican Mural Art During the Interwar Period?”In this episode, Mariano and I explore his groundbreaking research into the overlooked women of the Mexican muralist movement. Building on his earlier work, Mariano dives into the rich, complex history of Mexican muralism—an artistic revolution born from post-revolutionary ideals and dominated by the towering figures of “Los Tres Grandes.”But beyond the celebrated murals of Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros lies a hidden narrative: the women artists whose contributions were marginalized or erased. Mariano introduces us to several of these remarkable figures, focusing in particular on María Izquierdo and Sofía Bassi. He shares insights into their lives, artistic themes, and the esoteric influences that shaped their work, while unpacking why their legacies remain in the shadows compared to contemporaries like Frida Kahlo and Leonora Carrington.This episode is a compelling journey into art history, gender politics, and the mystical dimensions of creativity. Dr. Villalba also discusses the goals of his current project and how listeners can engage with the research on his online platform.An editing correction: Just a note to correct a mistake made during the interview: In the discussion about Frieda Kahlo's parents (a German father and a Mexican mother), Mariano mistakenly states that (María) Izquierdo was the daughter instead of Kahlo. There was a slight mix-up here as Mariano was comparing Frieda Kahlo and María Izquierdo. So please be aware of this when listening.PROGRAM NOTESMariano Villalba | Center for the Study of World ReligionsOccult Mexican art | Explore the Occult in Mexican visual artAbout Gender & Visual Arts | Discover Women's Insight — Occult Mexican artAbout Esotericism & Muralism | Explore Mexican Art — Occult Mexican artMuralism and Mexican Identity: Rediscovering the Esoteric Visions of Post-Revolution Female Artists: Q&A with Mariano Villalba | Center for the Study of World ReligionsOccult Movements and Mexican Mural Art | Center for the Study of World ReligionsThe Visionary World of Sofía Bassi | Center for the Study of World ReligionsFundación | Sofia BassiEsotericism, Gender, and the Legacy of a Mexican Artist | Center for the Study of World ReligionsMariano Villalba - Harvard University Music and Editing: Daniel P.

This episode is really going to be the cat’s pajamas. Or is it pyjamas? Do cats even wear pajamas? Why would they? Why do we? Should any of us wear pajamas at all? And if we do don a pair, are they only for bed? Or should pajamas have their day in the sun? If our PJs are making a fashion statement just what exactly are they saying? We’re talking today about what we wear to bed, but who knows? Does not wearing pajamas to bed have health and other benefits once we settle in under the covers?

What transforms raw materials into meaningful art? How do artists develop their unique voice while standing on the shoulders of those who came before them? In this thought-provoking second part exploration of Jerry Saltz's "How to Be an Artist," we unpack the practical realities of the creative journey and the mindsets that sustain artistic growth.The conversation begins with the critical practice of capturing ideas—through sketchbooks, journals, voice memos—creating an ever-expanding archive of inspiration that artists can mine for future work. We share personal systems for documenting fleeting thoughts and how this practice often reveals what's truly happening in our minds. These captured moments become the seeds from which our most authentic work grows.We tackle the intimidating challenge of finding one's artistic voice, challenging the myth that great artists spring forth with fully-formed originality. All masters begin as students—imitating, copying, and gradually infusing their personal perspective into established forms. The studio becomes the sacred space for this transformation—a sanctuary where imitation evolves into innovation without judgment or shame. Whether your workspace resembles the pristine order of Agnes Martin or the chaotic energy of Francis Bacon, it should serve as your laboratory for experimentation.Perhaps most profound is the discussion of embedding thought and emotion into physical materials—creating work that communicates even when you're not present to explain it. This alchemical process requires deep listening to both your materials and your inner voice. Great art puts out more energy than went into its making, resonating with viewers on levels beyond literal understanding.We close with an essential reminder: there are no wasted days in the studio. Even apparent failures move your practice forward. The struggle itself is valuable—often taking you further than easy successes ever could. Learn to finish work and move forward rather than getting trapped in perfectionism. Your next piece will benefit from everything you've discovered in creating this one.Whether you're a seasoned artist or just beginning your creative journey, this episode offers practical wisdom and permission to embrace both the struggle and joy of making meaningful work that's distinctly yours.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

In dieser Folge spricht Jacqueline Klusik-Eckert mit Tom Meißner über den Begriff des Digital Twin und seine Übertragung vom Ingenieurwesen in den Bereich des kulturellen Erbes. Während digitale Zwillinge in der Industrie vor allem zur Simulation technischer Abläufe dienen, liegt im Kulturbereich der Fokus auf der möglichst detailgetreuen Repräsentation historischer Objekte und Architekturen. Doch wo verläuft die Grenze zwischen einem Digital Twin und einem 3D-Scan? Und welche Kriterien machen einen digitalen Zwilling tatsächlich zum „Zwilling“?Im Gespräch wird deutlich, dass es dabei nicht nur um Visualisierung geht. Digitale Zwillinge können genutzt werden, um Alterungsprozesse, Umwelteinflüsse oder Materialverhalten zu simulieren – und eröffnen damit neue Formen der Analyse, ohne das Originalobjekt zu gefährden. Darüber hinaus sind sie ein wichtiges Werkzeug für die Vermittlung. Objekte werden vorzeigbar, die aus konservatorischen Gründen im Depot bleiben müssen. Kleines kann ganz groß gezeigt werden oder fernes sehr nah.Gleichzeitig stellen sich methodische und technische Herausforderungen: Wie lassen sich beschädigte oder unvollständige Objekte digital erfassen? Wie wird zwischen wissenschaftlicher Genauigkeit und praktischer Umsetzbarkeit abgewogen? Und was bedeutet diese Technologie für die digitale Bewahrung und Erforschung kultureller Objekte?Tom Meissner gibt einen Einblick in eine Digitalisierungsabteilung, die das Erfassen von Kulturgut als Daueraufgabe erkannt hat. Neben den logistischen und technischen Herausforderungen wird man dabei täglich auch mit Fragen nach wissenschaftlicher Sinnhaftigkeit, Repräsentation von Kulturgütern und Verantwortung für das kulturelle Erbe konfrontiert.Tom Meißner M.A. ist Projektmanager im Team Digitales Kulturerbe, Abt. Digitales Kultur- und Sammlungsmanagement, an der Thüringer Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek (ThULB) in Jena.Begleitmaterial zu den Folgen findest du auf der Homepage unter https://www.arthistoricum.net/themen/podcasts/arthistocast.Alle Folgen des Podcasts werden bei heidICON mit Metadaten und persistentem Identifier gespeichert.

Whitney creates functional fine art and conversation pieces drawn for your lifestyle. Whitney grew up on a lake in the Adirondack Mountains where the waterfront and wildlife provided an abundance of natural material. Whitney graduated Cum Laude with a major in Art History and a minor in Studio Art. She interned in the conservation studio at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy and in the Exhibitions department at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. She spent a year abroad in Italy traveling every weekend to explore a country rich in artistic history and technique.  Having traveled to 20+ countries, it was the American landscapes & wildlife that ultimately returned Whitney to her roots. Whitney's drawings have been selected several consecutive years for the Newport Art Museum's Juried Members Exhibition. Her artwork is detailed and cheerful, with a hint of humor. She draws inspiration from the historic, nautical, and coastal character of New England where she resides in Newport, RI. Shop at https://www.whitneywares.com/ 

Can we trace where Western Civilization went wrong to the 1400s when Filippo Brunelleschi, known for his brazen duomo designs in Florence, Italy, invented the linear perspective that dominated Art, Architecture, and city planning ever since? This almost-photographic perspective of the world around us translated to cities and their people being separated from nature, and the ecosystems that nourish us all, at least that signifies an auspicious moment in history. Some European painters in the early 20th Century, like Picasso and Matisse, challenged this linear perspective and were called Fauves or wild beasts. But do we need more wild beasts, rather than just bad-boy painters from Europe, to overcome these linear perspective machines and heal our relationship with the Earth? On this show recorded in 2014, Shana Nys Dambrot [http://sndx.net], art historian and culture writer from Los Angeles' vibrant art scene, guides us on a romp through these European art movements to trace how we got here and where we are headed. We delve into the question of how environmental and climate activism intertwine with artistic expression. Shana engages in a thought-provoking conversation about the role of art in shaping a better world, exploring the dreams and tangible enactments of new realities.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: A Festive Meeting: Uncovering Hidden Treasures in Budapest Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-07-19-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A forró nyári nap ragyogott a Városliget felett, amikor Zsófia belépett a Vajdahunyad vára kapuján.En: The hot summer day shone over the Városliget as Zsófia stepped through the gates of Vajdahunyad vára.Hu: A kastély körül színes zászlók lobogtak a szélben, a levegő tele volt izgalommal és zenével.En: Colorful flags fluttered in the wind around the castle, with the air filled with excitement and music.Hu: A nyári kulturális fesztivál minden évben sok embert vonzott, és Zsófia alig várta, hogy elmerüljön a magyar építészet szépségeiben.En: The summer cultural festival attracted many people every year, and Zsófia couldn't wait to immerse herself in the beauty of Hungarian architecture.Hu: Zsófiát mindig lenyűgözte a kastély impozáns tornyai és ívei.En: Zsófia was always captivated by the castle's imposing towers and arches.Hu: Mint művészettörténet szakos hallgató, boldogan töltötte itt az idejét.En: As an art history student, she happily spent her time here.Hu: De mostanában kételkedett magában.En: But lately, she had been doubting herself.Hu: Vajon elég jó volt-e abban, amit szeretett?En: Was she good enough at what she loved?Hu: Barátja, István, mindig bátorította őt, de Zsófia saját bizonytalanságával küzdött.En: Her friend, István, always encouraged her, but Zsófia struggled with her own insecurities.Hu: Ahogy körbesétált, megakadt a szeme egy fiatal férfin, aki kamerával a kezében próbált egy tökéletes képet elkapni.En: As she strolled around, her eyes caught a young man with a camera, trying to capture the perfect shot.Hu: Ez volt Tamás, a helyi fotós.En: This was Tamás, the local photographer.Hu: Ő is keresett valamit — inspirációt, pontosabban.En: He was searching for something too — inspiration, to be precise.Hu: Budapest híres épületeit próbálta rögzíteni, de hiányzott belőlük az a szikra, ami különlegessé tenné a munkáját.En: He tried to capture the famous buildings of Budapest, but they lacked the spark that would make his work special.Hu: Tévedésből Tamás kattintott egy képet, ahogy Zsófia csodálattal nézte a kastély egy részletét.En: By mistake, Tamás clicked a photo as Zsófia admired a detail of the castle.Hu: Találkozott a tekintetük.En: Their eyes met.Hu: Zsófia megriadva lépett egyet hátra, de Tamás mosolygott.En: Zsófia took a startled step back, but Tamás smiled.Hu: "Ne haragudj, nem állt szándékomban," mondta barátságosan.En: "Sorry, I didn't mean to," he said amicably.Hu: Zsófia habozva, de bátor döntést hozott.En: Zsófia, hesitating, made a bold decision.Hu: "Tudod, szeretek beszélgetni az ilyen különleges helyekről," kezdte.En: "You know, I love talking about places like this," she began.Hu: "Van egy érdekes története ennek a kastélynak.En: "This castle has an interesting story."Hu: " Tamás érdeklődve figyelt fel.En: Tamás listened attentively.Hu: "Igazán?En: "Really?Hu: Mesélj róla.En: Tell me about it."Hu: "Ahogy Zsófia mesélni kezdett a kastély történetéről, az építészet titkairól, és a magyar kultúra jelentőségéről, Tamás figyelmesen hallgatta.En: As Zsófia began to talk about the castle's history, the secrets of its architecture, and the significance of Hungarian culture, Tamás listened intently.Hu: Látta Zsófia szemében a szenvedélyt, és tudta, hogy megtalálta, amit keresett.En: He saw the passion in Zsófia's eyes and knew he had found what he was looking for.Hu: Egy pillanat alatt kialakult köztük egy különleges kapcsolat.En: In an instant, a special connection developed between them.Hu: Este már együtt sétáltak a kastélyudvaron, és tervezgettek.En: By evening, they were walking together in the castle courtyard, making plans.Hu: "Mi lenne, ha együtt megörökítenénk Budapest kulturális szépségeit?En: "What if we capture the cultural beauties of Budapest together?"Hu: " ajánlotta Tamás.En: suggested Tamás.Hu: Zsófiának ez tetszett.En: Zsófia liked the idea.Hu: Nemcsak a tudását oszthatta meg, de végre valaki értékelte is azt.En: Not only could she share her knowledge, but finally, someone appreciated it.Hu: A fesztivál meghozta a változást, amire mindketten vágytak.En: The festival brought about the change they both longed for.Hu: Zsófia bátrabban és magabiztosabban mesélt, míg Tamás végre megkapta az inspirációt.En: Zsófia spoke more bravely and confidently, while Tamás finally found his inspiration.Hu: Új, közös projektjük Budapestet nem csak mások szemének, de saját maga számára is újra felfedezte.En: Their new joint project not only rediscovered Budapest for others but also for themselves.Hu: Egymás oldalán nyerték meg azt, amit kerestek: önbizalmat és művészi ihletet.En: By each other's side, they found what they were searching for: self-confidence and artistic inspiration.Hu: Így lett a váratlan találkozásból valami igazán különleges.En: Thus, a chance meeting turned into something truly special.

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: Lost Masterpiece in the Woods: An Unexpected Alliance Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2025-07-18-22-34-02-nl Story Transcript:Nl: In het hart van het Amsterdamse Bos, waar het zonlicht door de bladeren danste en de lucht gevuld was met de geur van dennennaalden, liepen Femke en Bram voorzichtig over het kronkelige pad.En: In the heart of the Amsterdamse Bos, where the sunlight danced through the leaves and the air was filled with the scent of pine needles, Femke and Bram walked cautiously along the winding path.Nl: Een gerucht had hen hierheen gelokt; een verloren kunstwerk, ergens in deze groene labyrint verborgen.En: A rumor had lured them here; a lost artwork, hidden somewhere in this green labyrinth.Nl: Femke, met haar rugzak vol boeken en notities, liep voorop.En: Femke, with her backpack full of books and notes, led the way.Nl: Ze was vastberaden.En: She was determined.Nl: Dit was haar kans om haar reputatie als kunsthistoricus te herstellen na de rampzalige tentoonstelling, die bijna haar carrière had gekost.En: This was her chance to restore her reputation as an art historian after the disastrous exhibition, which had nearly cost her career.Nl: Bram, met zijn notitieblok en camera, volgde op de voet.En: Bram, with his notebook and camera, followed closely.Nl: Voor hem was dit avontuur de mogelijkheid om een verhaal te vinden dat zijn naam in elke krant zou krijgen.En: For him, this adventure was an opportunity to find a story that would get his name in every newspaper.Nl: Ze stopten even bij een open plek in het bos.En: They paused for a moment at a clearing in the woods.Nl: "We moeten samenwerken," zei Femke, terwijl ze naar de kaart keek.En: "We must work together," said Femke, while looking at the map.Nl: "Anders vinden we nooit iets."En: "Otherwise, we'll never find anything."Nl: Bram knikte.En: Bram nodded.Nl: "Maar vergeet niet dat ik hier ook iets uit wil halen," zei hij snel.En: "But don't forget I want something out of this too," he quickly added.Nl: Er was een duidelijke spanning, ontstaan uit hun verschillende doelen en methodes.En: There was a clear tension, arising from their different goals and methods.Nl: Waar Femke methodisch was, ging Bram liever op zijn intuïtie af.En: While Femke was methodical, Bram preferred to follow his intuition.Nl: Het zoeken in het dichte bos viel niet mee.En: Searching in the dense forest was not easy.Nl: De paden liepen over in struikgewas, en het gerucht van het kunstwerk leek steeds minder geloofwaardig.En: The paths merged into undergrowth, and the rumor of the artwork seemed less and less credible.Nl: Toch, na uren van zoeken en discussie, gebeurde er iets onverwachts.En: Yet, after hours of searching and discussion, something unexpected happened.Nl: Bram stopte abrupt en wees naar wat leek op een oude opening in de grond, net zichtbaar onder een laag van bladeren en mos.En: Bram abruptly stopped and pointed to what appeared to be an old opening in the ground, barely visible beneath a layer of leaves and moss.Nl: "Dit moet het zijn!"En: "This must be it!"Nl: riep Bram opgewonden.En: shouted Bram excitedly.Nl: Samen trokken ze de zware houten deur open, die toegang gaf tot een ondergrondse kamer.En: Together, they pulled open the heavy wooden door, which granted access to an underground chamber.Nl: Vochtige muren omhuldigden een donkere ruimte.En: Damp walls embraced a dark space.Nl: Femke scheen met haar zaklamp rond en zag iets glinsteren.En: Femke shone her flashlight around and saw something glimmering.Nl: Tussen het stof en de spinnenwebben zagen ze het kunstwerk — een prachtig, maar beschadigd schilderij.En: Amidst the dust and cobwebs, they saw the artwork — a beautiful, yet damaged painting.Nl: Hoewel de ontdekking triomfantelijk was, was het ook teleurstellend.En: Although the discovery was triumphant, it was also disappointing.Nl: Het schilderij was niet in de staat waarin ze het hadden gehoopt te vinden.En: The painting was not in the condition they had hoped to find it.Nl: Maar in dat moment van gedeelde teleurstelling vonden Bram en Femke een nieuwe kracht.En: But in that moment of shared disappointment, Bram and Femke found a new strength.Nl: Ze besloten het verhaal van hun ontdekking samen te vertellen.En: They decided to tell the story of their discovery together.Nl: Terug in de stad begon Femke met het herstellen van het schilderij, terwijl Bram zijn artikel schreef.En: Back in the city, Femke began the restoration of the painting, while Bram wrote his article.Nl: Ze combineerden hun krachten en deelden hun avontuur met de wereld.En: They combined their strengths and shared their adventure with the world.Nl: Femke's reputatie werd gered, en haar samenwerking met Bram opende nieuwe deuren.En: Femke's reputation was saved, and her collaboration with Bram opened new doors.Nl: Bram's artikel, met foto's van hun ontdekking, werd geprezen in alle grote kranten.En: Bram's article, with photos of their discovery, was praised in all major newspapers.Nl: In het proces hadden ze iets belangrijks geleerd.En: In the process, they had learned something important.Nl: Femke had geleerd dat het vertrouwen op anderen geen zwakte was, maar een kracht.En: Femke learned that trusting others was not a weakness, but a strength.Nl: En Bram ontdekte dat samenwerken veel waardevoller was dan alleen naam maken.En: And Bram discovered that collaborating was much more valuable than just making a name for himself.Nl: Zo transformeerde een zoektocht in het dichte bos naar een verhaal over vertrouwen en samenwerking, dat hen beide in hun carrière en leven verrijkte.En: Thus, a search in the dense woods transformed into a story about trust and cooperation, which enriched them both in their careers and lives.

Almost anyone who grew up in Ireland will have encountered the poetry of WB Yeats at some point in their education. His brother, Jack B Yeats, was an acclaimed painter who took home Ireland's first ever Olympic medal, winning the silver for art in 1924.But, they weren't the only siblings in the Yeats family, nor were they the only Yeats children to be highly acclaimed.Lyndsey McDougall is a Singer with New Pagans and Art History lecturer at Ulster University.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with artist and researcher Paulina Ree to explore the often-overlooked contributions of women throughout art history—and the striking parallels to the challenges and triumphs of 2025. Together, they delve into what it means to create while navigating motherhood, mental health, and the weight of invisible labor. Paulina shares her research on forgotten female artists whose impact shaped movements without recognition, and how their stories mirror the lived experience of women making art today. This is a soulful, truth-telling conversation that uplifts the quiet power of persistence, the beauty of creative lineage, and the courage it takes to be seen. In this episode, we cover: -How women's creative contributions have been erased or overlooked -The emotional labor of motherhood as an artist -Parallels between past female artists and today's art world -Strategies for protecting your mental health while making meaningful work -Why researching female artist's lives matters now more than ever -What we can do as women creatives now to change the narrative xoxo Contact Paulina Ree: https://www.paulinareeartist.com https://www.instagram.com/paulinareeartist/ Host Michelle Schultz: https://michelleschultzstudio.com https://www.instagram.com/michelleschultzart/ Contact us at She Who Paints: https://www.instagram.com/shepaintscollective/

What if the path to becoming an artist wasn't shrouded in mystery but illuminated by practical wisdom? In this deep dive into Jerry Saltz's transformative book "How to Be an Artist," we explore the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic's generous, accessible, and remarkably grounded advice for creative souls at any stage of their journey."Art is for everyone," Saltz declares, immediately dismantling the barriers that keep so many from pursuing their creative calling. Whether you're wondering if you can be an artist without formal education, while working full-time, or while wrestling with crippling self-doubt, his answer rings clear: "Of course you can." Through our conversation, we unpack how Saltz's decades of observing artists have yielded insights that speak directly to the heart of the creative struggle.The book's wisdom resonates powerfully throughout our discussion – from embracing the uncomfortable vulnerability of making art to recognizing that "the faster your work makes sense, the faster people will lose interest." We explore why certainty kills curiosity, how imagination forms the very essence of human existence, and why getting productively lost might be the most direct path to finding your voice. Saltz's practical advice – "cast your nets into the waters" of inspiration and "work, work, work" – offers a refreshing antidote to creative paralysis.Perhaps most encouraging is Saltz's insistence that it's never too late to begin. Through stories of artists who found success later in life (including Saltz himself who didn't become serious about his calling until age 40), we confront the myth that artistic accomplishment requires early specialization. Whether you're just starting out or seeking to deepen your existing practice, this episode offers a roadmap filled with practical wisdom, compassionate encouragement, and the liberating reminder that "nothing happens if you're not working, but anything can happen when you are."Buy "How to be an Artist" by Jerry SaltzSend us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Have you ever felt like your artwork knows more than you do? In this intimate, unplanned conversation recorded during a Montana retreat, Ty and Nathan explore the vital yet often overlooked practice of soul care for artists.Surrounded by the sounds of birdsong and nestled in Montana's rolling landscape, we dive into what happens when artists intentionally step away from their studios. More than just a luxury, these moments of pause—whether through travel, immersion in nature, or simple daily rituals—fundamentally transform our creative practice and the work that emerges from it.Drawing wisdom from Mary Oliver's poetry collection "Redbird" and Jack Whitten's studio journals, we unpack what it means to create "not for the sake of winning, but for sheer delight and gratitude." Oliver's observation that "it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world" reminds us that pausing to notice our surroundings isn't just pleasant—it's essential to developing our artistic voice.We share our personal soul care practices, from morning reading rituals and mindful walks to the transformative power of travel and trying uncomfortable new experiences. The conversation explores how these moments help us break free from achievement-oriented creation and return to our work with renewed vision. As Whitten noted, "Nature does not think"—it simply exists. There's profound creative wisdom in learning to sometimes just be rather than constantly do.Whether you're struggling with burnout or simply seeking to deepen your creative practice, this conversation offers practical inspiration for incorporating soul care into your artistic journey. Take a moment with us, slow down, and discover how the small pauses might actually hold everything you need.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Send us a textThe Court of Lorenzo the Magnificent Part 6 of 6: Architecture This episode looks at the most significant works of Lorenzo's court architect and dear friend, Giuliano da Sangallo. Among his most important designs, Sangallo was the chief architect and designer behind the Medici Villa at Poggio a Caiano, a countryside escape for Lorenzo that would serve as a prototype for Renaissance villas that came after. Additionally, Lorenzo and Sangallo were involved in the design and creation of the splendid church of Santa Maria delle Carceri in Prato. Overall, this podcast addresses the way Sangallo served as Lorenzo's chief architect, as well as the way in which he remains an essential figure in understanding Renaissance architecture as a whole. Sangallo was a dedicated follower of Filippo Brunelleschi and Leon Battista Alberti, as well as an expert on the rules of classical architecture. Works Discussed: Giuliano da Sangallo, Medici Villa at Poggio a Caiano, begun 1485. http://www.museumsinflorence.com/musei/villa-poggio-a-caiano.htmlGiuliano da Sangallo, Santa Maria delle Carceri, Prato, 1495. https://www.cittadiprato.it/en/Sezioni/content.aspx?XRI=186Support/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Leonardo Drew invites us into the physical, philosophical, and sometimes painful world of material transformation. Unlike artists who work with found objects carrying built-in histories, Drew deliberately purchases new materials that he must personally weather and transform. "I need to become the weather," he explains, describing a process where he subjects materials to rigorous physical manipulation that often results in literal bloodshed.This physical commitment reflects Drew's deeper philosophy about creation. He describes himself as "the crack addict of art," chasing the highs of creative breakthrough through persistent experimentation and a willingness to fail. His practice demands patience—it took seven years from his initial decision to create what would become his signature style before producing what he considered his first successful piece (which he numbered "8," acknowledging the previous attempts).Drew conceptualizes artists as antennas receiving creative energy from the universe. He purposefully travels to "cradles of civilization" like China and Machu Picchu, absorbing experiences that later emerge organically in his work. "You don't have to say I'm making work about this specifically," he notes, "because that would cage and imprison the whole idea." This philosophy requires "getting out of the way" of one's own creative process—removing ego and preconceptions to allow authentic creation to happen.By refusing to title his monumental works beyond simple numbering, Drew extends his transformation-based practice to the viewing experience itself. Each piece continues to transform through viewers' unique interpretations, creating an endless cycle of meaning-making that transcends the artist's original intent. As Drew profoundly states, "As I'm moving closer and closer to answering questions, at the same time I'm moving further away from the answers."Want to experience this transformative approach in your own creative practice? Keep your channels open by constantly introducing new ideas and techniques. When feeling stuck, switch things up dramatically—if you're a painter, try sculpture; if you work abstractly, attempt representation. The discomfort of new approaches often leads to the most significant breakthroughs.Leonardo Drew in "Investigation" - Season 7 - "Art in the Twenty-First Century" | Art21https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymMGgOCoK8k&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqR&index=5An Interview with Leonardo Drew | Wadsworth Antheneumhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-75fm_UzhYg&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqR&index=4Woodcuts: Leonardo Drew | useum of Arts and Design (MAD)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3S2nvDcvU&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqR&index=3Artist Talk: Leonardo Drew | Amon Carter Museum of American Art Fort Worthhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtsqaHfEYxc&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqRCarrie Scott, SEEN Podcast | Leonardo DrewSend us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

In 2008 Nathan Dunne was night swimming in Hampstead Heath in the middle of winter when a psychological catastrophe struck him. He felt his sense of self split in two, and an unbearable pain overtook him. He couldn't work out what had happened to him, and neither could the doctors.CW: This discussion contains sensitive mental health details and mentions suicide.Nathan was driven to attempt suicide, and endured years of misdiagnoses from doctors and medications that didn't work.Nathan didn't have the words to describe the confusion, pain and splitting of self he was experiencing.For years, water was the symbol of his undoing.When Nathan returned home to Australia and his parents' care, his mum gave him a copy of his grandfather's war memoirs.Here, Nathan found a link that showed him the healing qualities and the beauty that were possible in water.Eventually, Nathan found a doctor who could explain his symptoms and finally give them a name — depersonalisation.Further informationIf you need help, you can phone Lifeline on 13 11 14.When Nothing Feels Real is published by Murdoch Books.Read more about dissociative disorders and depersonalisation on the NHS website.Read about dissociative disorders and depersonalisation specifically in relation to young people on the Orygen website.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.
