Doyen des ponts de la Seine, le Pont Neuf incarne à lui seul, lʹhistoire et les transformations de la capitale française. Incontournable des circuits touristiques, il a également inspiré de nombreux artistes, parmi lesquels Renoir, Picasso, ainsi que Christo et Jeanne-Claude qui lʹavaient emballé en 1985. Quarante et un ans après, cʹest lʹartiste français JR qui le rhabille. Son projet : transformer le pont en une immense caverne de 120 mètres de long. À cette occasion, Monumental revient sur lʹhistoire de ce monument emblématique avec Nicolas Lyon-Caen, chargé de recherche au CNRS.
Découvrez la face cachée d'un couple de peintres : Françoise Gilot et Pablo Picasso. Cinquante ans après sa mort, le monde de l'art rend encore hommage à l'œuvre monumentale de Picasso. Pourtant, ces nombreuses expositions occultent souvent le calvaire qu'il a fait vivre à ses compagnes, et surtout, le courage de celle qui lui a dit non. En 4 épisodes, à travers ce couple, nous allons vous dévoiler comment Picasso est passé maître dans l'art de la violence. L'heure du backlash 1953. Un matin ensoleillé, profitant de l'absence de Pablo, Françoise boucle ses valises et quitte Vallauris avec ses deux jeunes enfants. Après dix ans de relation, elle s'est lassée de ses attitudes possessives et autoritaires. Quelques années auparavant, Pablo lui avait assuré qu'on ne quittait pas un homme comme lui. « Nous verrons », avait-elle répondu. Pendant les années qui suivent la rupture, la vengeance de son ancien compagnon est sans pitié, à tel point qu'il entraîne tout un pays derrière lui. Son but ? Organiser sa mort sociale.

Quand le Minotaure attaque À cette époque, la jeune femme n'est pas son épouse, mais c'est tout comme. Elle est sa compagne, la mère de ses enfants, la première critique de ses œuvres. En quelques années, elle est devenue le centre de son monde. Plus amoureux que jamais, Pablo ne peut plus se passer de sa présence. Mais de son côté, Françoise étouffe… jusqu'à frôler l'asphyxie.

Piégée dans la toile Cela fait bientôt trois ans que Picasso a quitté Dora Maar pour Françoise Gilot. Trois années que Pablo et Françoise ont passées séparés, sans vivre sous le même toit. Leur relation amoureuse s'est épanouie autour de leur passion pour la peinture, à tel point que l'idée d'une vie commune fait son chemin dans l'esprit du couple. Mais c'est cette vie commune, au sein d'un espace domestique, qui va précipiter la début des violences. Car lorsque les deux artistes commencent à fonder leur foyer, Françoise se rend compte qu'elle a fait l'erreur de sa vie… Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture : Lucie Kervern Voix : François Marion, Lucrèce Sassella Learn more about your ad choices.

What This Episode Is About You've invested in a sales strategy. You've done the training. So why aren't you getting the results you expected? In this episode of the Selling to Corporate® podcast, Jess Lorimer reveals the single most important skill that professional salespeople use to create consistent, replicable results - and it's almost certainly not what you'd expect. Jess makes the case that the gap between coaches, consultants and professional salespeople isn't intelligence, experience or even strategy. It's one surprisingly simple skill that most business owners overlook, underestimate or quietly choose to ignore. This episode explains exactly what it is, why it matters more than any tactic or technique and what happens to your sales process when you don't use it. Who This Episode Is For Coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and done-for-you service providers selling to corporate clients Anyone who has invested in a sales strategy or programme and felt it 'didn't work' Business owners who find themselves constantly tweaking, adjusting, or second-guessing their sales process Those who are great at selling one offer or to one type of client, but struggle to replicate that success elsewhere Anyone who suspects their sales process isn't producing consistent results but isn't sure why Questions This Episode Answers What is the most important skill in B2B sales? Why does a sales strategy that worked stop working over time? How do professional salespeople create replicable results across different industries and offers? What's the difference between buying a sales strategy and actually executing one? Why does tweaking a sales process - even slightly - make results impossible to measure or replicate? Key Takeaways 1. The Most Important Sales Skill Is Following Instructions The single most important skill professional salespeople possess is the ability to follow instructions precisely and consistently. Not prospecting. Not objection handling. Not closing. Following instructions. Jess is direct: in her experience working with thousands of professional salespeople and thousands of coaches, consultants, speakers, trainers, and done-for-you service providers, the difference in results almost always comes down to this. Professional salespeople follow a proven process exactly as written. Most coaches and consultants - however intelligent and however well-intentioned - don't. This isn't a criticism of intelligence. In fact, Jess argues that high intelligence can be a liability here. Smart people are more likely to spot what feels 'wrong' about a set of instructions, more likely to rationalise a small adjustment and more likely to believe their version of the process is 'good enough'. It usually isn't. 2. Any Proven Strategy Has the Ability to Work - If It's Executed Properly Jess teaches seven different methods of B2B lead generation. She has clients who generate all of their corporate revenue from cold email outreach. She has clients who generate all of their revenue from networking alone - a method she personally dislikes. The method is not the determining factor. Execution is. The two reasons a sales strategy fails are almost always the same: The strategy being used is not proven. It was built in an AI tool, borrowed from a B2C context or sold by someone without hands-on B2B sales experience. The strategy is proven but it is not being followed correctly. Steps are skipped, wording is changed, volume is reduced or the process is quietly adjusted whenever something feels uncomfortable. If your sales process is not producing results, the first question to ask is not 'what strategy should I try next?' It is 'am I executing my current proven strategy exactly as intended?' 3. Small Changes to a Sales Process Create Big Problems One of the most common patterns Jess sees with experienced clients is a gradual drift away from the original process. It rarely starts as a conscious decision to change strategy. More often it starts with a lost deal, a knock to confidence, and a small adjustment made under pressure to 'save' the next opportunity. That one small change leads to another. The language shifts. The attachment changes. The objection handling softens. The reassurance given increases. None of it feels significant in the moment. But cumulatively, the process becomes unrecognisable - and critically, it becomes impossible to measure, troubleshoot or improve. Standardisation is not a constraint on creativity. It is what makes it possible to know whether your sales process is working, identify where it is breaking down, and fix the right thing. When every part of the process is slightly different, there is nothing consistent to evaluate. 4. Sales Should Be Boring - Creativity Comes in the Conversation Jess uses the analogy of Picasso: before he painted eyes on the sides of heads, he spent years learning the rules of perspective, line and composition. The creative leaps came after the foundations were mastered, not instead of them. The same principle applies to B2B sales. Your lead generation process, your outreach approach, your proposal structure, your pricing framework - these should be repeatable, measurable and consistent. They should feel a little boring, because boring is what makes them scalable. The creativity, the consultative problem-solving, the bespoke solution-building - all of that happens in the sales conversation itself, and in the delivery of the work. That's where you get to be brilliant and distinctive. Your process is what gets you to that conversation in the first place. 5. Following Instructions Builds the Confidence That Creativity Cannot When a sales process is followed precisely, it produces predictable metrics. Those metrics tell you what is working and what is not - early enough to make useful adjustments rather than emergency ones. That predictability is what gives professional salespeople confidence, even in difficult markets. When a process is modified and the results decline, the person executing it has no way of knowing which change caused the problem. That uncertainty erodes confidence and often leads to further changes, making the situation worse. Following instructions is therefore not just a technical requirement - it is the foundation of sustained confidence in your own sales ability. 6. Replicatable Success Requires Transferable Process, Not Transferable Luck Jess draws on her own sales career across jewellery, recruitment, tech, and sales training - including becoming the top diamond salesperson in her region at 16, and a top performer within her first year at a company operating across 30 countries - to make a specific point: success that can be replicated across industries, offers, and client types is built on process, not personality. If you are excellent at selling one particular offer but cannot replicate that success with other offers or other types of decision maker, it is a signal that your results are not yet built on a transferable process. They are built on familiarity, repetition or relationship - which are not scalable. A proven, correctly executed process is what creates results that transfer. Key Quotes "The most important skill professional salespeople have in their arsenal is following instructions." "Literally any proven strategy has the ability to work if it's being done properly. The problem is that most people aren't using proven strategies - or they're not following the instructions for the ones they have." "Your sales process shouldn't be where you feel creatively satiated. It should be where you are able to replicate a clear process and be given consistent metrics so you know what is working and what isn't."

The Listing Bits Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg Robertson sits down with Katrina Romatowski, founder and CEO of reSpace, to discuss a new approach to housing affordability through co-homeownership. Drawing on nearly three decades in real estate, development, and housing advocacy, Katrina explains how reSpace redesigns homes into private suites with shared common spaces and enables buyers to purchase fractional ownership interests. The conversation explores affordability, homeownership as a wealth-building tool, aging-in-place design, MLS challenges, and the growing need for alternative housing models. Key Takeaways Katrina grew up throughout the Pacific Northwest, worked in construction from a young age, and built a career spanning real estate sales, development, and brokerage. Her real estate company was founded as a social purpose corporation, leading to the creation of a nonprofit focused on housing and mentorship for people exiting incarceration and recovery programs. The idea for reSpace emerged after selling a small infill home for nearly $1 million and questioning who could realistically afford it. Inspiration came from fractional ownership models such as Picasso, but Katrina wanted to apply the concept to primary housing rather than luxury vacation homes. reSpace creates homes with private suites that include ensuite bathrooms, closets, workspace areas, and personal amenities, paired with shared kitchens and living spaces. Buyers purchase an ownership interest in the property, allowing them to live in high-cost neighborhoods at a price point closer to renting an apartment. The model is designed to help first-time buyers, retirees, siblings, friends, and other groups gain access to ownership while maintaining independence. Katrina argues that homeownership remains one of the most important pathways to building middle-class wealth and that affordability challenges are increasingly shutting people out of that opportunity. A major hurdle for reSpace has been gaining MLS support for fractional ownership listings, despite existing standards that support partial-interest ownership categories. Current projects include The Grove in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood and a historic mansion redevelopment in Leschi, with plans to expand through technology and partnerships.

Episode 382: MANNY MARROQUIN “The Famed Mixing Engineer Who Crafted Classics for Kanye, John Mayer and Alicia Keys” The Road Podcast crew is in LA for the NAMM show and have a sit down with multi-Grammy Award-winning mixing engineer @MannyMarroquin whose career spans over two decades, defining the sonic landscape for artists like @KanyeWest, @AliciaKeys, and @JohnMayer. Manny joined the @ROADpodcast to break down the delicate balance between technical precision and emotional resonance in modern mixing. Starting with the core distinctions between engineers and producers, Manny explains his "emotion over technicality" philosophy (04:05) and the "Batman and Robin" approach to song structure (09:00). He provides an inside look at legendary sessions, discussing the ego free mindset required for 808s & Heartbreak (11:15), the "a-ha" moment of "Love Lockdown" (18:32), and the grueling 20-mix saga behind “Stronger." The conversation shifts to the synesthesia of sound, where Manny compares audio engineering to the brushstrokes of Renoir and Picasso (23:30), and explains his process of turning his chair away from the monitors to find objectivity. After diving into the mechanics of club records like "Let Me Love You" (35:50) and the future of music trends in 2026, he discusses the "less is more" choice for @JohnMayer's "Gravity" (55:55). The episode concludes with his venture into the culinary world with @Verse.LA (1:13:01) and a reflective look at his journey from Guatemala (1:26:01).

Pablo Picasso revendiquait ne pas aimer la musique. Il n'a pourtant cessé de peindre des musiciens, collaborant avec Satie, Stravinsky et Falla. Ses portraits d'instrumentistes sont souvent des autoportraits qui ne disent pas leur nom – ceux d'un homme hanté par ses obsessions.Picasso, figure incontournable de l'art moderne, a entretenu tout au long de sa vie une relation fascinante avec la musique. Franck Ferrand nous emmène dans les coulisses de cet artiste aux multiples talents, révélant une facette méconnue de son génie créatif.Dès son plus jeune âge, Picasso baigne dans un univers musical qui imprègne profondément son œuvre. De la zarzuela andalouse aux cabarets parisiens, en passant par les collaborations avec les Ballets russes, le peintre espagnol semble avoir été habité par une véritable passion pour les sonorités. Pourtant, lorsqu'on lui demande son avis sur la musique, Picasso n'hésite pas à affirmer qu'il ne l'aime pas. Une déclaration surprenante quand on constate à quel point elle transparaît dans ses tableaux cubistes, ses natures mortes et ses portraits d'instrumentistes. Franck Ferrand décrypte cette paradoxale relation, révélant la place centrale qu'occupe la musique dans la démarche artistique du maître.Des joueurs de flûte aux guitaristes cubistes, en passant par les collaborations avec des compositeurs comme Satie et Stravinsky, Picasso semble avoir cherché à retranscrire dans sa peinture les vibrations sonores qui l'habitaient. Une quête incessante qui l'a mené à repousser toujours plus loin les frontières de l'art, faisant de lui l'un des plus grands créateurs du XXe siècle.
El gran Pablo Picasso visita Uherský Brod. Colombia volvió con todo: un concierto de marimba que no dejó a un solo checo en su asiento. “Cuando empecé a dibujar no sabía mucho de cómics, mis influencias vienen más del cine, la pintura y la música”.
The newly released Epstein-related documents highlighted a major financial transaction involving billionaire Leon Black, revealing that he secured a $484 million loan from Bank of America backed by works of art. The loan, documented in materials connected to the Epstein files, used high-value paintings by artists such as Picasso, Giacometti, Titian, and Matisse as collateral. While the size of the loan drew attention because of its connection to the Epstein documents, art-backed lending itself is a common practice among ultra-wealthy collectors. These loans allow wealthy individuals to unlock liquidity from valuable art collections without having to sell the works, often at relatively low interest rates due to the borrower's overall wealth and the value of the collateral.The report also highlighted the rapid growth of the art-lending industry, which is estimated to be worth between $38 billion and $45 billion globally and is expected to exceed $50 billion by 2028. Wealthy collectors frequently borrow against artwork to fund investments, acquire additional art, or access cash while avoiding the significant tax consequences that come with selling pieces. Auction houses such as Sotheby's Financial Services, along with specialty lenders and private banks, dominate much of this market. Because selling art can trigger capital-gains taxes of more than 30%, borrowing against art has become an attractive financial strategy for collectors who want liquidity while continuing to hold and display their valuable pieces.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein files highlight how the wealthy borrow against art collectionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This week on The Creep Dive we spiral headfirst into one of the strangest tabloid stories currently unfolding online: Katie Price's whirlwind marriage to alleged millionaire entrepreneur Lee Andrews a Dubai-based “visionary CEO” whose AI-generated Instagram empire, mysterious business claims, suspicious exes, possible travel bans and sudden disappearance have left the British tabloids absolutely foaming at the mouth.Is he a billionaire futurist? A Tinder Swindler-style scammer? A man held together entirely by Canva, motivational quotes and black-and-white podcast photos? We investigate.Then, because apparently this episode accidentally became about fame, fraud, mythology and the terrifying power of collective belief, Jen takes us into the extraordinary true story of the Mona Lisa theft the bizarre 1911 heist that transformed a relatively overlooked Renaissance painting into the most famous artwork on earth.Featuring: fake wealth, fake identities, Picasso being questioned by police, Katie Price refusing to back down, the psychology of scams, AI self-invention, a handyman hiding the Mona Lisa in a trunk for two years, and the increasingly unsettling feeling that modern life may just be one giant confidence trick held together by vibes and good lighting.Listen ad-free and get an extra full bonus episode every week over on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thecreepdive Hosted on Acast.

https://youtu.be/tU0kHdf7oXo Drew Allen, CEO of Grace Technologies, is driven by a mission to lead a life of adventure and impact. At Grace Technologies, that impact is tangible: the company develops electrical safety and predictive maintenance solutions that help industrial teams prevent downtime, improve productivity, and, most importantly, send workers home safely at the end of the day. We explore Drew's Product Engineering Framework — Clarify the Problem You're Solving, Understand the Constraints, Think from First Principles, Build a Prototype, and Iterate within a Time Limit — a practical approach to innovation in technical product development. Drew explains why rapid iteration beats overbuilding, how constraints can unlock better engineering decisions, and why time-boxing product development prevents teams from getting stuck in endless perfectionism. He also shares how Grace Technologies is expanding into the data center market, where rising power density is creating new safety challenges and new opportunities for growth. — 5 Steps to Engineering Breakthroughs with Drew Allen Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and today’s guest is Drew Allen, the CEO of Grace Technologies—the leading innovator of electrical safety products and predictive maintenance solutions that help companies maximize productivity and foster a safety culture. Drew, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks for having me, Steve. I’m excited. I’ve really enjoyed your books, and they’ve had a big impact on our business. So it's great to have this conversation today. Yeah, glad to have you here. So if you enjoyed the book or read Pinnacle and Summit OS perhaps, then you’re going to be familiar with this question. What is your personal “Why,” and how are you manifesting it Grace Technologies? So my personal “Why” is to lead a life of adventure and impact. And I think that manifests in our company. We try to be as innovative as possible. Typically, around 30% of our annual sales come from products released within the last two to three years. We try to take risks, not in kind of a willy-nilly way, but we try to be smart about our risk-taking, but still make sure that we’re taking risks and we’re on the forefront of the technology edges. In our business, it’s really easy to see the impact that we have. Not many businesses get to say that we literally send people home at the end of the day. We literally save lives, and we don’t take that responsibility very lightly. And so it’s a little way that we can kind of make a dramatic impact in the world. We get a lot of stories of people who have been going to go to work on an electrical system. They were just moving throughout their day, trying to do their work, and all of a sudden they saw that our unit was indicating and they were about to put their hand on that bus bar or that cable, and they stop and realize, “Oh, there's still power there.” And they could have been either severely injured or dead. And so we get those stories quite frequently, and so it's really impactful to hear that, to know that we're doing that kind of good in the world.Share on X Yeah, I love that. And yes, I mean, it’s dangerous. My son actually worked for an electrical contractor last year, and they told him the story that they were in big industrial facilities and one of their workers was trying to fix a light and he got shocked. And the only way to save him was to kick the ladder out from under him. He ended up breaking his leg. So it was kind of funny story afterward, but also a very dramatic one at the same time. So yeah, you definitely want to avoid situations like that. 100%. And I think what you do is really great, and focusing on the safety aspect is very important as well. What I'm wondering—because I'm a framework guy and I'm always looking for new frameworks people have developed—and obviously within the Pinnacle system there are a lot of frameworks. But you’ve been doing this for a few years, and I’m sure that you have come up with your own. So what is your favorite framework—something simple enough for listeners to understand in maybe three to five steps—that could help them improve their business? My favorite framework really comes from Jim Collins' work on the Flywheel. And I think you reference it in your book as well, Steve. I think if people can see their business—or even their life—through the lens of a flywheel, it becomes really useful. So in our business, our flywheel is relatively simple. And I think there are probably only a limited number of flywheel models companies really operate under. Our version of a product flywheel works like this: We start with amazing new products and services. If we do that well, we naturally excite our channel partners. When our channel gets excited, they can't help but get us specified by customers. Once we're specified by customers, it grows our revenues, unit sales, and customer base.Share on X And as that happens, it expands the power of the brand, which allows us to set high prices and deliver higher gross margins to be able to reinvest into R&D for amazing new products and services. And I think while maybe there’s a couple of pieces in ours channel-specific or whatever, we found that most of my focus as CEO is just constantly figuring out how do I push those pieces of the flywheel, and where is the current bottleneck in the flywheel? Is the bottleneck getting the specifications? Is the bottleneck the wrong product? One of the challenges in our business is that we have a 12-month product development cycle plus an 8-to-12-month sales cycle for products. So if I miss, I'm basically down for two years. And I don't really know it early enough unless I'm paying close attention to the leading indicators—which we've become much smarter about over the last few years. A lot of business people tend to focus only on lagging indicators, and they're not always clear on what the leading indicators are in their business—or how correlated those leading indicators are to the lagging results. I'll say this: the most recent releases of Claude have made it incredibly easy to input a bunch of variables and figure out how strongly your leading indicators correlate with your lagging success. I probably haven't done that kind of work since college and deep regression analysis or logarithmic modeling. And now Claude makes it so easy. So if you can identify the leading indicators tied to your future success, and you know there's an 80% or 85% correlation, then that leading indicator is almost as valuable as the lagging indicator itself. And if your lagging indicator is revenue, that gives you a pretty strong signal about what you should actually be focusing on.Share on X Yeah. That's a great way to reverse-engineer those leading indicators from the outcomes you're targeting. I love that. So when you say that one of the flywheel cogs is for people to specify your product, what do you mean by that exactly? We come out with a product, and then we get meetings with large end-user customers. Okay? Our products are really sold into two major markets. One is the industrial market—everything from where things come out of the ground, like oil and gas, pulp and paper, and mining—to all the downstream processing industries, including automotive, tire and rubber, consumer packaged goods, food and beverage, all those kinds of industries like shipbuilding, naval yards, and all those kinds of environments. All of these places have complex electrical and control systems. And when a factory or facility is being designed or upgraded, someone is writing a specification document. That specification literally defines how everything should be built—including the machinery and the electrical systems. So we want to make sure our products, from an electrical safety perspective, are included in those specification documents. We've been really fortunate to get into some of the world's largest companies' control specificationsShare on X companies like Amazon, Procter & Gamble, GM, and Ford. These large organizations really see the value in our products from both a productivity and a safety standpoint. And that's really the key to our success: driving specifications with large end-user customers. Yeah. So it sounds like when you get specified, then essentially you’re baked in to their product, and then you kind of have, at least for the time being, you have a monopoly of supplying them. Is that the case? Yeah. And some specifications are a little more open. They may specify our type of device, or they may even list competitors as alternatives. And then it becomes a little more of a street brawl when we're competing. But either way, we want to grow the overall market for products like ours—not just our own products—because we're in the safety business. And I think it's really shortsighted to be selfish about that. I think we have much more opportunity if the overall pie grows than if we focus only on increasing our individual slice of the pie. Of course, I'm going to do the best I can to grow our share. But ultimately, electrical safety and electrical reliability in factories are still major problems. And the number of deaths, injuries, and life-changing accidents we hear about—it continues. We hear those stories all the time, and we don't want those things to happen. Yeah. Love it. So your business is innovation-driven, and you are designing these electrical appliances that increase productivity, reduce risk. What is the major success factor in being able to come up with new products along these lines? Yeah, so I guess I'll tell you my biggest failure. Okay? I'll use the failure to illustrate the point. That's good. I think I was about 25 or 26 years old, and I was working with a customer—a very large publicly traded company. They liked our product, but they needed it in a different form factor, which meant we had to re-engineer the product, retool it, and go through all the certification processes again. And I just took it hook, line, and sinker. I thought we were really onto something. I probably had delusions of grandeur and thought I was some Steve Jobs-like figure who could just wave a magic wand. And by the way, I don't think that's actually what Steve Jobs did, so I want to put that out there for a minute. I think what we see from the outside as consumers is often not the reality inside the company. So I just want to say that. But anyway, instead of taking small iterative steps and quickly prototyping and getting feedback, I did a full design based only on feedback from that one customer before cutting tooling and paying all the certification costs. It ended up being about a $400,000 project. And I think we still have inventory from that project—and this was probably 12 years ago or something. Oh my gosh. So what have I learned now? The best innovation happens through rapid iteration. A lot of your listeners have probably seen the Elon Musk SpaceX Raptor engine images, right? You have this incredibly complex engine that goes up into space, and then the next version looks much simpler, and the third one looks like it came out of a sci-fi movie. It's almost like the Picasso bull sketches. There are nine different bulls until Picasso eventually gets it down to two lines, and you still understand it's a bull. Okay? And I think that's what iteration looks like. What you see as a final product from Apple is actually the result of thousands of prototypes, iterations, and constant testing behind the curtain. For me, I want to test with customers directly, because you get much better feedback that way. I think the more rapidly you can prototype, the more rapidly you can iterate and get real customer feedback, the more innovative your product is going to be. I really think that when you try to make too big of a leap all once, you usually can't get there. And I think 10% compounded over time is a much better strategy than trying to go 10X in a single shot. Yeah. It's kind of the Kaizen principle of continuous improvement through small steps. But actually, I was listening to an interview with Jensen Huang, and he said he hated Kaizen because he wanted more first-principles thinking—completely rethinking things from the ground up. And I think Elon Musk does that too. Although honestly, I think he does both, which is really interesting. But I love Kaizen. I think it's a wonderful concept to continually improve things. We do work with SpaceX. We don't do much with NVIDIA—a little bit, but not much. And while you can think from first principles, you still have to iterate on the prototypes, right? Yeah. You have to constantly try things. So you may have a first-principles vision of where you want to go, but you're not going to get there by designing the perfect thing 100% upfront. You get there through iteration. Yeah. So you really need both. That’s a really good point. So Drew, what is it that you are trying to figure out in your business right now? So over the last 12 to 18 months, our largest orders have started coming through the data center sector. Back in 2015 or 2016, I tried to push into data centers, and we just had no product-market fit. None. Everybody kept talking about the data center business, and I was like, “Well, they're just not using our products. We tried…” But what suddenly changed was the increase in power density inside data centers. And what I mean by that is this: You can now have a hundred megawatts in a traditional data center hall. That's basically the equivalent of multiple oil and gas refineries worth of electrical load inside a single data center hall. A hundred megawatts—yeah. And so the electrical risk profile has really changed. And because of that, now there is product-market fit. So now I'm trying to figure out: How do I set up the right distribution channels? How do I build the right sales network? Because data centers definitely buy differently than our traditional industrial customers. And then, as CEO, you always have to decide where you're going to focus your time. I've been very intentional about not losing the core identity of Grace through our industrial business. So I've had to build a separate group that really focuses on the data center market. That also means bringing in a board member who really understands the data center space. Right now, though, it's a huge growth area for us, so figuring that out has been super important. The other thing is that over the last few years, we've launched an incredible number of new products. But a lot of those were what I'd call necessary innovations—things we had to execute on quickly. So now we're finally getting to a point with the engineering team where we can start from a clean sheet of paper again. We can think more deeply about where we really want to go—maybe even from first principles. Because honestly, I feel like we've been operating in a reactive mode for the last few years. So it's going to be really exciting to finally have some white space again and be able to innovate more intentionally for the future. Yeah. So you want to have that sci-fi engine for Grace Technologies that SpaceX has for the rockets, right? Yeah. That's the goal. And our mission is to accelerate the industrial world to zero downtime and zero harm. Until we get there, it's a pretty lofty goal. And I think it's going to require a lot of innovation to achieve it. So what's the process when you're trying to get to that kind of innovation—when you're rethinking something from first principles? Is there a process you can follow or work through? Or is it more about letting your imagination wander? Like when Albert Einstein came up with the theory of relativity—he was daydreaming in the patent office and suddenly had these insights. What's your process for getting there? So first, we want to be really clear on the problem statement. Getting absolute clarity on what problem we're solving is the first step, right? If you don't know what problem you're solving, there's no amount of engineering you can throw at it that's going to make sense. Second is understanding the constraints. For one of our new product development efforts, we decided to move away from a digital platform and go to a fully analog electrical platform because we realized one of the main constraints was size. And size is really determined by the power supply. When you run a digital circuit, you're operating at something like 100 to 300 milliamps. If you go to an analog circuit, you're operating at the microamp level. So you're literally at around 10% of the power requirement. And if you're at 10%, you can make the power supply about 90% smaller. Now, it's much easier to do things digitally because you just program the microcontroller. You're not dealing with the art of analog circuitry. So I think that's a good example of thinking from first principles. Okay—we're solving this problem. One of the major problems inside that problem is the size of the unit. How do we reduce the size? Well, we have to reduce the power supply. How do we reduce the power supply? Reduce the power draw from the circuit. How do we reduce the power draw? Go analog. And that's how we got there. But even then, the amount of prototyping and iteration we've done on that over the last 12 months has probably involved 75 major iterations of the circuit, tons of prototypes, tons of testing, and countless tweaks that probably never even hit my radar. I know I'm getting a little nerdy for the podcast, but I think it's a really good example. And if you take it out of engineering for a minute and look at our sales engine, it works similarly. Ultimately, what drives sales? You have to have unique selling conversations with customers. So everything I focus on becomes: How do I maximize those conversations? Getting people interested in the product and actually getting to the point where we can sit down and fully tell our story—that's kind of my North Star.Share on X I know that if we increase the number of those conversations, sales will increase. And of course, there's optimization on both sides of the meeting—follow-through, follow-up, competitiveness, lead quality, all of that. But the big North Star in our sales function is: How many unique selling conversations are we having with customers? Okay. I love it. So this is a framework that I’m more excited about than the flywheel because we are almost 400 episodes in. Here is what I heard. So be clear on the problem, step number one. Understand the constraints, step number two. Think from first principles, that’s step number three. Build the prototype, step number four, and perform iterations. Step number five, essentially the optimization. And with the sales engine, it’s kind of a similar process that you described, but less technical perhaps. Yeah. And one other piece too is that all of this has to be time-constrained. What do you mean by that? I think people miss that point. If you don't have a time constraint, it will literally take forever. So inside of your framework, you need a time box, and I think that's really critical. I like what Elon says about timelines. He assigns timelines that he believes have about a 50% probability of being achieved. I think that's actually a really smart way to think about it. And that means that about 50% of the time, you're going to miss the target. But that's okay, because you want that level of tension and flexibility in the system. You still have to be aiming at something. If you don't put a time box around iteration, if you don't set launch dates, product development can drag on forever. For example, we have a major trade show every fall, and we always try to have products ready for that event. That creates a really effective natural time box for us. And if your business doesn't already have natural time boxes, then as CEO, you need to create them. Yeah. Otherwise, iteration, product development, and even sales initiatives can lose momentum. Sales naturally has monthly, quarterly, and annual cycles. But in engineering especially, having that time box is really important. Yeah. And what I read about Jensen Huang is that one of the innovations he introduced was creating two overlapping time boxes. So instead of having just a single one-year cycle, he created two teams working on separate one-year cycles that were staggered by six months. That way, they could effectively iterate on the product twice as fast. I thought that was amazing. And I also had a client—an engineering software company—whose challenge was that they couldn't launch a product for three years because they were such perfectionists. So we talked about putting a stake in the ground and committing to a release every year. Maybe the scope would have to change, maybe they'd have to narrow it or simplify it, but the release date itself would become a forcing function. And once they did that, their product suddenly started gaining much more traction. That's a fantastic point. Yeah. I was advising one of the companies we're invested in. I was actually on a call with them yesterday, and they're starting to run out of time a little bit, right? And that was literally the conversation we had. “Okay, we had this wish list. We had this dream product-development idea. Now what can we realistically get done in three months?” So we started stripping out everything that couldn't be completed in that timeframe, and those items will move into the next iteration cycle. But I think it's super critical. You've got to put a stake in the ground and force things through. Yeah. Constraints create creativity. Yeah. that's fantastic. So, penultimate question—I have one more just to wrap things up. If you had a magic wand, what would be the one thing you'd want to fix inside your company over the next 12 months? I think we have a lot of relatively new and young salespeople. We operate in a very technical field, and trying to get them to really understand the application space from a technical perspective is difficult. And when you're selling to engineers, they can immediately tell if you don't know what you're talking about. So the challenge becomes: How do you compress 20 years of experience into a brand-new sales or business development person in just a few months? Trying to accelerate that learning curve is probably one of our biggest challenges. We're trying to use AI to help visualize the kinds of equipment our products go on. And frankly, even after doing this for years, I still run into things I don't fully understand. But I have enough experience that I can have a relatively technical conversation, understand the constraints, and work through the problem set. But compressing that knowledge into a faster training process—that's definitely been hard. I'm also opening a sales and engineering office down in Austin, so I'll be moving there in June. The plan is to build out another R&D facility there. That's one of my major time boxes over the next 12 months—getting that operation fully up and running. But from a more holistic perspective, I think really solving that sales knowledge-transfer problem is critical. And on one of our product lines, honestly, I'd love ideas from listeners. We have an IoT condition-monitoring product, and we've been very successful at selling pilot programs. What we've found, though, is that it's been much harder than expected to convert those pilots into broader expansion deployments. So we're asking ourselves: Are we making the barrier to entry for the pilots too low? Are we attracting the wrong type of customer—people who don't actually have the authority to make a larger purchase decision? Or are we missing something in the sales process that would better position the expansion after the pilot succeeds? Those are a few of the areas we're really trying to figure out right now. Yeah. Love it. That’s fascinating. So if the listeners would like to learn more about Grace Technologies—or maybe you spark something in their mind and they want to reach out and communicate to you, or have access to someone in your company to answer the questions about the products. Maybe they want to have more safety and more productivity with their electrical safety equipment. Where should they go, and where can they find you? Yeah. You can reach me at drewa@gracetechnologies.com or find me on LinkedIn. I think it’s Allen-Drew is my handle, but Drew Allen on LinkedIn. I love hearing from people. I really enjoy advising startups, especially in the industrial electrical space. If you have a product idea or you’ve got a startup, I do a lot of advisory work, and we’ve invested in a number of startups as well. We’re really passionate about having more innovation in the industrial world. I believe that the reindustrialization of America is super important, and I’m a big proponent, and so love to support companies that are doing cool things in our space. Oh, that’s fantastic. So if you’re listening to this and you have a startup in the engineering space, then definitely this is your opportunity to get mentored by Drew, and maybe to get opportunities that you don’t have yourself. So reach out to him. And if you just enjoyed this conversation with an entrepreneur who’s innovating fast and who is working from first principles and time boxes and and leveraging constraints, then definitely stay tuned on this channel because I have more wonderful guests coming on every week. So thank you Drew for coming, CEO of Grace Technologies, the leading innovator of electrical safety products and predictive maintenance solutions. So thanks for sharing your wisdom and thanks for listening. Important Links: Drew's LinkedIn Drew's website Drew's email: drewa@gracetechnologies.com
If Michael Jackson could wake up at 3 AM and call everyone to the studio because he was afraid God would give his melody to Prince, what's your excuse for waiting until tomorrow? In this episode, I break down the story behind MJ's legendary urgency and what it really means to live with haste, not fear. If you truly love your craft, you will not be able to sit still with a great idea rotting inside you. Key Takeaways Michael Jackson believed inspiration was on loan and if he didn't act on it immediately, it would be given to someone else. Living with haste is not about fear or anxiety, it is about respecting the urgency of your gifts and your time. The saddest thing about graveyards is all the dreams buried with the people who never acted on them. Truly legendary people do not just do what they are good at, they relentlessly pursue what they genuinely love. Picasso said on his deathbed that he was just starting to understand his craft, which is the mark of real childlike curiosity and mastery. Action Steps Identify one idea, project, or creative impulse you have been putting off and take one concrete step on it today, not tomorrow. Ask yourself honestly whether you love what you do or if you are just good at it, then start making decisions based on that answer. Commit to leaving nothing in the tank by consistently sharing your gifts, whether that is through content, conversations, work, or service to others. Notable Quote If I don't do this now, God is gonna give that melody to Prince.
This week, Alex & Dan once again get nostalgic as they make their way down memory lane to the 1990s! There were some crazy going's on during that decade and they've got so many to share, they've slapped a volume 1 on it!From racing home from school to spend the evening with friends on web chat forums downloading music (ahem), to the origins of some of your favourite childhood toys from old makeup boxes. From the must-have toys of Christmas secretly listening to your conversations, to the dawn of direct-to-tape movies which changed the way we watched our favourite films from then onwards...That and - when actors fall out with the giants of Hollywood, they get paid in Picasso paintings worth millions - and lazy magazine editors who inadvertantly change the course of pop music forever - there's plenty of amazing facts to discuss during this episode!#GITS

The RPM Show Episode 24 Hosted by DJ DON PICASSO - LIVE FROM ATLANTA, GA!
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Ricardo Karam sits down with Antonio Vincenti in a conversation that goes beyond advertising to explore a journey that reshaped public space across Arab cities, turning the street from chaos into a visual language that shapes urban memory.From Lebanon to Amman, Baghdad, Algiers, Tunis, Morocco, Africa, and Europe, Antonio reflects on how “Picasso” began as an outdoor advertising idea and evolved into a broader vision tied to the city and the way people experience public space. The discussion looks at outdoor advertising as part of the urban fabric, where image and city merge, and the street becomes a cultural layer beyond commercial use, within complex environments that balance order, beauty, and chaos. It also touches on expansion beyond Lebanon into Africa, the Gulf, and Europe, and the ambitions, challenges, and key decisions that shaped that journey. On a human level, the conversation explores Antonio beyond business, the impact of success on personal and family life, and the hidden cost of long-term ambition.Join Ricardo Karam and Antonio Vincenti in a conversation about cities, image, creativity, and the lasting impact of how we see the world.في هذا اللقاء، يجلس ريكاردو كرم مع أنطونيو فينسنتي في حوارٍ يتجاوز عالم الإعلانات ليغوص في مسار رجلٍ أعاد تشكيل الفضاء العام في عدد من المدن العربية، وحوّل الشارع من مساحة فوضى إلى لغة بصرية تصنع الذاكرة اليومية للمدن.من لبنان إلى عمّان، بغداد، الجزائر، تونس، المغرب، إفريقيا وأوروبا، يستعيد أنطونيو كيف بدأت "بيكاسو" كفكرة في الإعلان الخارجي، لتتحوّل إلى مشروع أوسع يرتبط بالمدينة نفسها وبطريقة رؤية الناس للفضاء العام.يتناول الحوار الإعلان الخارجي كجزء من النسيج الحضري، حيث تمتزج الصورة بالمدينة، ويتحوّل الشارع إلى مساحة بصرية وثقافية تتجاوز البعد التجاري، في بيئات عربية معقّدة تتطلب موازنة دقيقة بين النظام والجمال والفوضى. كما يمتد النقاش إلى تجربة التوسع خارج لبنان نحو إفريقيا والخليج وأوروبا، وما حملته من طموحات وتحديات وخيارات مفصلية في مسار النمو. وفي البعد الإنساني، يقترب الحوار من شخصية أنطونيو خارج إطار الأعمال، ومن أثر النجاح على الحياة الشخصية والعائلية، والثمن الخفي للطموح الطويل.انضموا إلى ريكاردو كرم وأنطونيو فينسنتي في حوارٍ حول المدينة، الصورة، الإبداع، ومعنى أن يترك الإنسان أثراً في الطريقة التي نرى بها العالم.
Raffaella Arpiani"Non ci capisco un Picasso"Una storia dell'arte per affrontare le sfide della vitaFeltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.itBelli i dipinti moderni, ma… da che parte si guardano? Le avanguardie, spesso considerate dai non addetti ai lavori astruse, incomprensibili o distanti dal sentire comune, nascondono invece un potenziale straordinario e inaspettato: quello di fornirci una diversa inquadratura, per affrontare la vita con occhi nuovi.Dall'energia dirompente dei futuristi alla provocazione dei dadaisti, dal rigore di Mondrian all'ironia di Duchamp, questi artisti raccontano storie capaci di dialogare con le nostre paure, i nostri dubbi e desideri. Così Munch ci aiuta a fare spazio alle emozioni più profonde, come la perdita di un genitore; Picasso ci mostra la necessaria via della ribellione per aprirci al cambiamento; Hannah Höch spiana la strada alla rivendicazione della libertà, anche al femminile; Magritte ci sprona a sbarazzarci delle convenzioni e Matisse a trovare gioia, coraggio e forza anche durante la malattia.Dopo Notte di luna con Van Gogh, Raffaella Arpiani torna ad accompagnare il lettore in un viaggio sorprendente nelle avanguardie, trasformando ciò che a prima vista sembra complesso in una narrazione illuminante. Con uno stile coinvolgente, che ci fa conoscere gli artisti come se fossero protagonisti di romanzi, l'autrice non solo svela il significato di alcune delle opere più iconiche dell'arte moderna e contemporanea, ma dimostra anche come queste possano trasformarsi in esempi di resistenza, creatività e coraggio per affrontare il nostro presente. Così l'arte più audace può diventare una meravigliosa guida per il nostro incerto cammino.Un percorso nel cuore delle avanguardie, tra opere e artisti considerati talvolta incomprensibili, per trovare, nel loro linguaggio dirompente, risposte inusuali alle prove di ogni giorno.Raffaella Arpiani, nata a Parma nel 1971, milanese d'adozione, ha elaborato un originale approccio all'arte, frutto della sua poliedrica esperienza professionale: l'attività di artista e curatrice, il lavoro di copywriter nella comunicazione e di insegnante di storia dell'arte al liceo.Con questo metodo ha dato vita al progetto Arte essenziale, pensato per far appassionare anche i neofiti della storia dell'arte, con l'apertura dell'omonimo e apprezzato canale YouTube, che oggi raccoglie centinaia di lezioni divulgative e milioni di visualizzazioni. Con lo stesso spirito è nato il podcast Arte essenziale.Notte di luna con Van Gogh (Feltrinelli, 2024), un viaggio nella storia dell'arte da cui muovere i primi passi per entrare un po' più a fondo dentro se stessi, è stato il suo primo e fortunato libro, che le è valso il premio Silvia Dell'Orso 2025 per il miglior lavoro di divulgazione dei temi inerenti ai beni culturali. Con Feltrinelli ha pubblicato anche Non ci capisco un Picasso.

Pablo Picasso's Guernica is probably the most well known painting of the 20th century, and has become a universal symbol of the horrors of war. But it has also been the subject of renewed controversy in recent weeks in Spain - over a yet another request by the Basque government for the painting to be displayed at least temporarily in Bilbao. The current request comes ahead of the 90th anniversary of the bombing that the painting evokes - when during the Civil War the Nazi Condor Legion unleashed a relentless aerial assault on the Basque town.The long-running debate over moving the painting to the Basque Country centres on competing claims, with Basque sovereignists arguing that it should be displayed in the same location as the events it commemorates, against Spanish government's insistence it remain at Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid for reasons of conservation and national heritage. Today on Sobremesa, we discuss the controversy and the relationship between the work's power and universality and the concrete, historical atrocity inflicted on Gernika the town. To do so Eoghan is joined by Brittany Kennnedy, Senior Professor of Practice at Tulane University's Department of Spanish and Portuguese. Brittany is the author of Between Distant Modernities: Performing Exceptionality in Francoist Spain and the Jim Crow South.Please remember if you like what we are producing, consider making a donation to our buy me a coffee page:https://buymeacoffee.com/thesobremey
Gala et Salvador Dali forment un couple mythique de l'histoire de l'art. Sans Gala, l'œuvre du peintre catalan ne serait pas la même. La femme fut une inspiration et un soutien constant pour l'artiste. En échange, Dali a toujours affiché sa loyauté et sa fidélité à son épouse. Il disait "J'aime Gala plus que ma mère, plus que mon père, plus que Picasso et plus que l'argent". Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecrit et raconté par Alice Deroide Learn more about your ad choices.

Stuck inside those four walls? We're making our escape with Band On The Run, the 1973 record by Wings! After a tough Beatles breakup, a burnt out Paul McCartney was struggling to stay relevant in the music world. He started Wings alongside his wife Linda and guitarist Denny Laine, and after a few tough outings, Band On The Run proved to be their major breakthrough! Despite a tumultuous recording process in Lagos, Nigeria, hits like JET (!), Let Me Roll It, and Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five have become catalog staples. We're catching up on our personal Beatles history and learning about the foundation of Wings! We trace the band's Lagos trip through cholera outbreaks, broken equipment, and knifepoint robberies, but learn why Paul needed this record so badly. The Mixtaper relies on James' fear of "jelly babying" himself with another round of McCartney facts! We'll break down jailbreak ambience, investigate a holiday hostage, and drink a drink with Lily The Pink in Fact Or Spin. We might have No Words... but what's the use in worrying?How's your Scooby Doo impression? What would your last words be? Do you forget when Picasso was alive?

Porque admirar el talento también implica confrontar la historia y no siempre es cómoda, recibimos a Gerardo Kleinburg, escritor, crítico y promotor musical para hablar sobre este tema.

Jian is joined by Shayan Sami'i (Washington DC area), a national security analyst, and Picasso Moin (Istanbul), activist and commentator.

What happens when justice feels too slow, too soft, or too broken? In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer take on a heavy but very real conversation about revenge, punishment, fear, forgiveness, and the line between justice and vengeance. They start with their weekly top three stories, including wild insurance fraud, a Picasso raffle for Alzheimer's research, and the Sackler family's legal fallout from the opioid crisis.From there, the conversation turns deeper. The hosts explore why violent crimes can make people crave “an eye for an eye,” especially when children, loved ones, or innocent victims are involved. They also talk about social media fear, subway safety, the justice system, mental health, personal accountability, and why forgiveness can feel almost impossible after tragedy.This episode is useful for listeners who wrestle with anger, fear, justice, or how to respond when the world feels unsafe. It is raw, honest, and gritty, but it also points back to compassion, responsibility, and choosing not to let pain define who you become.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(0:55) Missing Earth Day and 4/20(2:09) Wild insurance fraud in a bear suit(3:03) Picasso raffle supports Alzheimer's research(4:07) Sackler family and opioid accountability(5:49) Revenge, justice, and human reaction(7:14) Social media, anger, and violent crime stories(10:03) The Marianne Bachmeier case(12:37) Where “eye for an eye” began(15:44) Mental health, punishment, and the death penalty(19:16) Safety, fear, and public spaces(24:17) Forgiveness after unimaginable loss(25:36) Accountability and changing how we communicate(27:12) Got Grit Award winner of the week(28:26) Song of the week: “Jealous” by Labrinth(29:55) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this 'hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 15 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. We begin this week with Margarette Quiambao sits down with Bekah Phillips, Director of Social Media and Graphic Design at the Frida Cinema in Santa Ana. Together they trace Bekah's path from a senior-year internship at the theater to how she grew into a leadership role. They walk through what her position entails from day-to-day content decisions to the larger creative vision behind the Frida's social presence. Bekah offers an inside look at what it takes to build and maintain a brand that reflects a genuinely independent, community-rooted institution. Listen along as Bekah opens up about how now her aesthetic sensibilities inform the visual identity of Orange County's only arthouse cinema. Equal parts practical and personal, this conversation is a compelling portrait of what creative leadership looks like at the intersection of film culture and digital communication. We wrap the episode this week focusing on Sean Cleary, Chief Operating Officer of Phillips Auction, who sat down for an interview with Kiera Freeman to talk about what it is like to work at one of the world's leading auction houses. Their fascinating conversation covers prehistoric dinosaur bones; Picasso canvases; and duct-taped bananas. Sean pulls back the curtain on how an auction actually works, from sourcing and valuing artwork to choreographing a live sale, and offers a frank look at the operational complexity most people never see. Their conversation highlights the logistical precision required to move multimillion-dollar pieces across the globe, how technology is reshaping the auction world, and what it means to work at the intersection of commerce, culture, and creativity. For anyone who has ever wondered what happens before the gavel falls, this episode has the answer.

Send us Fan MailMost men chasing the writer's life have the same fantasy: quit the corporate world, escape to Paris, find the bohemian enclave where great work just happens. But that Paris doesn't exist anymore — and Zan would argue it never quite existed the way we imagine it.In this episode, Jordan presses Zan for an update on his next book (still no release date — sorry, you've been warned), and Zan opens up about the slow, painterly way he writes: six hours a day in the chair, no Substack dribbles, no early drafts shown to anyone. Then the conversation turns to a question many men in our audience are quietly wrestling with: how do you hold a creative life and a corporate life in the same body, without one suffocating the other?They move through the four archetypes of the would-be artist, the romance of place (Paris in the 20s, Brooklyn now, Bucharest, Bali), and the strange truth that even with the internet “democratising” creativity, most of us are working alone — without that gentle rivalry between Picasso and Matisse looking over each other's shoulders.Watch until the end for Zan's plans for a literary retreat in Venice this autumn, haunting the ghost of Casanova through the city that shaped him.
TODAY on The Great Women Artists podcast is the esteemed writer, Deborah Levy on avant-garde pioneer Gertrude Stein. The author of several novels, including August Blue, Hot Milk and Swimming Home, alongside the critically acclaimed Living Autobiography trilogy (some of my favourite books of all time): Things I Don't Want to Know, The Cost of Living and Real Estate, Deborah Levy is one of the most recognisable and influential writers working today. She has been shortlisted twice each for the Goldsmiths Prize and the Booker Prize, is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and has written for the Royal Shakespeare Company. But the reason why we are speaking with Levy today is because she has just published a new novel, My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein, which follows a narrator who has travelled to Paris to find out more about Stein, the enigmatic, trailblazing writer and patron; a woman who bolted through the 19th to the 20th century and paved the way for modernism as we know it today, with her daring, experimental writing, from Tender Buttons to The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, and her patronage of artists such as Picasso, Cezanne, and Matisse – and I can't wait to find out more.

Sanya Kantarovsky talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Kantarovsky was born in Moscow in 1982 and emigrated to to Providence, Rhode Island, when he was ten years old. He lives and works in New York City today. His paintings present scenarios that are at once arresting and alluring. Notionally figurative, they reflect an elastic notion of how the body might be represented through paint, as figures appear in unlikely juxtaposition with other bodies and beings—even morphing into plant or animal forms—and occupy landscapes and spaces that are always infused with atmosphere and often potent with threat. Sanya regularly uses the term ostranenija, a word in his native Russia that means “making strange”, as a guiding principle. Encountering his art, one is aware of one's own role in continuing that process: how, after slow-looking, they only grow in complexity. And that richness absorbs many moods and registers, from brutality and solemnity to absurdity and out-and-out humour. He discusses the profound effect of his early access to the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, and particularly Picasso's painting Girl on Ball (1905). He reflects on the influence of a huge breadth of historic painters, including Francisco de Goya, Giorgio de Chirico and Philip Guston, discusses his respect for a number of contemporary artists including Trisha Donnelly and Charline von Heyl, and talks about the significance of a number of figures from other disciplines on his work, from the poet Anna Akhmatova and the choreographer Tatsumi Hijikata to the filmmaker Andrei Tarkovksy. Plus, he gives insight into his life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Sanya Kantarovsky: Basic Failure, Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, Palazzo Loredan, Venice, 6 May–22 November Hosted on Acast.
