It may be the dog days of summer, but the art world doesn't take a break, and there's plenty to talk about for our monthly roundup episode, where we parse and analyze the biggest headlines shaping the art world and industry. In this episode, we take a look at what is going on in the art scenes across London, New York, and Berlin, including some of the biennials going on this summer. Then, we get into the headlines: including a dive into a long-gestating biopic by actor Johnny Depp, called Modì: Three Days on the Wing of Madness. The new film is Depp's first directorial effort in nearly three decades, and it dramatizes 72 chaotic hours in the artist Amedeo Modigliani's life as he chases around early 20th-century Paris with artists Chaim Soutine and Maurice Utrillo. We also talk about Depp's new art drop. Is it all a rebranding exercise? After that, we break down the intrigue swirling around the U.S. pavilion for next year's Venice Biennale and what it might reveal about American cultural diplomacy in 2025. Within that fold, we take stock of a proposal from controversy-loving artist Andres Serrano and another idea from far-right American blogger Curtis Yarvin. Last but not least, we analyze the Labubu mania, a craze for these mischievous little dolls that has finally made its way into the art world and into the market. National art critic Ben Davis and our editor-in-chief, Naomi Rea joined senior editor Kate Brown on the podcast to talk about it all.

Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis share some of their insights with the 94 WIP Morning team about what it's like as GM's and players at the deadline. Ruben Amaro thinks it's important for the Phillies to try and add today, but thinks it will be a marginal move. Ben Davis says as a player, this can be an exciting time.

The 94 WIP Morning team asks Ben Davis and Ruben Amaro about other potential moves for the Phillies. The Phillies have been linked to Steven Kwan and Luis Robert Jr. Ben and Ruben are higher on Kwan than Robert, but the price will be high. Neither Ben nor Ruben are Luis Robert Jr. fans. Ruben says part of the reason Dombrowski hadn't made moves in years past was because he didn't know how good the prospects he had were to us for trades.

To get Jhoan Duran, the Phillies gave up Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait, two prospects who were in the MLB's Top 100 prospects list. The 94 WIP Morning Show with Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis on Deadline Day understand the potential that Abel and Tait could be great, but Duran is a great player.

Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis join the 94 WIP Morning Show and discuss who else the Phillies could go out and get. They both think Steven Kwan is the most enticing. Ruben believes that the reason Dave Dombrowski didn't go all in in years past is because he didn't know what types of prospects he had.

Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis join the 94 WIP Morning Show and add their insights into the trade deadline. Ruben and Ben are fired up about Jhoan Duran! Ruben thinks the Phillies need to make another move, but it might be a marginal one. Ben and Ruben both like Steven Kwan, but think the price will be high. Neither are excited about Luis Robert Jr.

It's Deadline Day and the 94 WIP Morning Show, broadcasting from MaGerk's, is excited about the Phillies' trade for pitcher Jhoan Duran, even though it meant giving up prospects Eduardo Tait and Mick Abel. It was a high price, but Duran has proven he can produce, so the Morning crew thinks this was a good deal. In his press conference last night, Dombrowski sounded confident they were going to make another move today. Listen to the whole press conference here! Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis joined the show, sharing their thoughts from a different perspective as both played in the MLB, and Ruben was a GM. They are very positive about Duran and think the Phillies have to make another move. Both Ruben and Ben would like to see the Phillies trade for Steven Kwan but aren't as high on Luis Robert Jr.

Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis join the 94 WIP Morning Show to react to the Jhoan Duran trade and to preview the rest of the trade deadline which comes up at 6pm tonight! Ben and Ruben are pumped about the trade!

If you've been around art in the last several decades or so, you likely have heard the term “institutional critique.” This is a genre of art that turns the lens back  onto the world around the art object as its subject, finding playful or polemical ways to provoke thought on art's unspoken rules and expectations and links to the wider world. Andrea Fraser is one of the artists who has most helped define “institutional critique” as a genre and as a practice. She has done this in artworks that sometimes look like performances, or lectures, or works of research—but also in her essays and theoretical writings. One of her recent essays, “The Field of Contemporary Art: A Diagram,” published over at e-Flux Notes, is an attempt literally to map out how contemporary art is not one thing but a landscape of different competing camps and value systems, so that you might figure out where you stand within it. She calls this theory “a resource to make sense of a field that makes no sense,” and she agreed to talk to art critic Ben Davis about it.  

Ben Davis joins the 94 WIP Morning team and breaks down what he thinks the Phillies need to do at the deadline. He wants them to be aggressive and get an right handed batting outfielder. Bryson Stott has not played well this season and Joe DeCamara wonders if the Phillies might go make an upgrade at second base in a trade. Ben Davis does not think this will happen.

Zack Baun joins the 94 WIP Morning Show and talks all about his leadership role with the Eagles. The Phillies need to make a few moves and Ben Davis wants them to be aggressive. He doesn't think they'll make an upgrade at 2nd base.

The 94 WIP Morning Show with Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie, broadcasting from Eagles Training Camp, asks what the Phillies need to get most: a bat or a reliever? Ben Davis, who joins the show, wants them to be aggressive at the deadline and thinks they need a bat. Zack Baun joins the 94 WIP Morning Show to talk about Camp and his leadership in the locker room. The Morning crew reacts to answers given by AJ Brown and Jordan Mailata yesterday during their press conferences. AJ says he's the best receiver in the league and Mailata believes the Eagles are not in-fact defending the title- they've moved on to next year. Hear Vic Fangio's first press conference of the year! After Joe DeCamara calls for Jack Fritz to release the censored part of the golf meltdown video, in a wild turn of events, Jack Fritz tweets the video! The Afternoon Show thinks Joe DeCamara is faking his injury to make an excuse. Joe and the crew react- Joe will not concede!

Every rising generation reinvents the rules of how art works. What are the new new ways of working? What kinds of spaces serve those needs? Art critic Ben Davis keeps coming back to these questions, and it's part of why he decided he wanted to talk to Maya Man. Man got her MFA from the famous Media Art program at the University of California in 2023. She makes art that's fun and very online, looking at the digital world and the way it blurs reality and performance. Right now, her work A Realistic Day in My Life Living in New York City is the first-ever work commissioned by the Whitney Museum for its “On the Hour” program, taking over the museum's website every hour for 30 seconds. Set your clock if you want to catch it. Man is also a scene-maker herself. Davis first heard about her experimental art space, Heart, after it had already closed, earlier this year. But in its brief, frenzied life, it left a big mark. It was a space where a certain kind of experimental online/offline art scene that feels very now started to define itself.
