The contemporary art world is nothing if not confusing. It is simultaneously deeply frivolous, and takes itself way too seriously. Its business dealings combine total mystification with conspicuous consumption, and the exact mechanisms by which one type of art gets celebrated above another are very often impossible to figure out. If you've ever struggled to make sense of it all, the journalist, Bianca Bosker's new book is worth picking up. It's called Get the Picture, A Mind-Bending Journey Among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends who Taught Me How to See, and it joins books like Anthony Hayden Guest's classic True Colors from 1998 and Sarah Thornton's Seven Days in the Art World from 2008, as an entertaining behind-the-scenes chronicle of art, though in a very different and maybe even more confusing moment. Bosker previously wrote Original Copies (2013) about architecture in China that replicates famous world monuments, and Cork Dork (2017), where she went inside the world of fine wine to try to decode its rituals. For Get the Picture, Bosker inserted herself in the striving, less-visible layers of the art industry, just beneath the glamorous images. She works the booth at a satellite fair in Miami where a gallery's very survival hinges on a few sales. And as a studio assistant for a painter whose success becomes a major headache as speculators start flipping her work. In some ways, Get the Picture will confirm all of the worst stereotypes about the contemporary art industry, and in others is the story of someone who slowly learns how to look past the caricatures by throwing herself into the thick of it, finding her own way to appreciate some of art's more eccentric values.

This conversation features journalist and author Bianca Bosker, discussing her book, “Get the Picture” with writer Patrick Bringley. Bianca Bosker is The New York Times bestselling author of “Cork Dork” and a contributing writer at The Atlantic. In “Get the Picture,” Bosker throws herself into the nerve center of art, and the people who live for it: gallerists, collectors, curators, and of course artists themselves. Probing everything from cave paintings to Instagram, and the science of sight to the importance of beauty, Get the Picture examines art's role in our culture, our economy, and our hearts. Bosker's writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Best American Travel Writing, and has been recognized with awards from the New York Press Club, Society of Professional Journalists, and more. Patrick Bringley is the author of “All the Beauty in the World,” a memoir about his decade working as a guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Bringley has spoken at museums across the country, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the National Gallery of Art, and is adapting his book into a one-man play premiering this fall at the Charleston Literary Festival.

Join your host Marina Press Granger as she interviews Bianca Bosker, New York Times best-selling author and author of "GET THE PICTURE: A Mind-Bending Journey among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See."  Bosker set out to write this book to answer the question of why art matters & what makes it good but in the process she has unraveled so much about the inner workings of the impenetrable art world...a pocket of the art world which consists of galleries that don't accept submissions, exhibit at the "coolest" art fairs like Untitled and NADA, and can really grow an emerging artist's career.  You can learn more about Bianca at www.BiancaBosker.com and follow her on Instagram at @BBosker Interested in joining the waitlist for my course "How to Know Which Galleries are Right for You"?

Our guest is acclaimed journalist Bianca Bosker, who tells us that -- when it comes to which topics she chooses to investigate and cover -- she's "obsessed with obsession." Bosker's latest book is "Get the Picture: A Mind-Bending Journey among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See." She was a security guard at the Guggenheim. She worked in a commercial gallery. She was a studio assistant to an emerging artist. What Hunter S. Thompson did with the Hell's Angels, Bosker does with Art History majors.

Francis Henry Hemsley, who lived in Saskatchewan before enlisting and shipping off to Europe to fight in the First World War.

Bianca Bosker narrates her witty audiobook—a remarkable experiential romp through the rarefied air of the contemporary art world—with pizzazz. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Alan Minskoff discuss how Bosker comes across as an authentic seeker and enthusiastic learner as she participates in performance art, stretches canvases, hangs out with gallerists and painters, sells art at a posh art fair, and more. Performing in a comic style, she enhances the audiobook's ironic undertone which suggests that many in the art world see journalists as “the enemy.” An engaging listen.

For her latest book, author Bianca Bosker dove headfirst into the art world, spending time with gallerists, performance artists, wealthy collectors, and museum guards to understand the ins and outs of the industry.

Bosker will also be speaking at Rizzoli Bookstore tomorrow at 6 pm.  

A message of hope from Psalm 2 - Nations and people set themselves against the LORD, but he will show them who really rules. The LORD's anointed Son (Jesus) has been enthroned as King. This Psalm calls us to submit to His powerful rule, rather than rebel against Him. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him, worship King Jesus and help extend His Kingdom.

A message from 1 Peter 2:4-12 - we consider how God's at work in us as individuals and a church.. we are His work in progress.

The presenting issue is keeping the Sabbath, and here Jesus exposes the real issue - an ugly, enslaving legalism which is an enemy of the gospel. Legalists think they are doing the right thing, but legalism confuses people about God, blinds them to the love of God and blocks a life-giving and grace-living relationship with God. In this message we peel back some layers and see what a restored Sabbath looks like. Along the way, we might find a few surprises, especially if you have thought of the Sabbath in terms of what you can and cannot do..

Our final message in our series on Our Lord's Prayer - In Our Lord's Prayer Jesus shows us how to make God, Our Father in heaven and His Kingdom our priority. Imagine how God loves to accomplish His universal plans for His Kingdom to come through our prayers!

We continue with #7 in Our Lord's Prayer series, Matthew 6:13, with the message title being Temptation & Deliverance. Jesus is teaching us to ask our Heavenly Father for protection against the schemes of the evil one. Temptations and testings will come our way. God tests us for good purposes. He wants to make our faith and reliance on Him stronger, giving us a resilient faith to help us step up in following Jesus and making God's Kingdom come. Satan wants to tempt us for his evil purposes. He wants to make us stumble and fall into sin, undermine our faith in Christ, disable us in making God's Kingdom come. In short, this petition of Our Lord's Prayer reminds us that as Christians, Christ followers, we are engaged in physical and spiritual battles with the evil one. We are in a WAR ZONE! EVEN WHEN God tests our faith (for good) and Satan wants to snatch that opportunity to trip us up and lead us into sin, GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL! That's WHY Jesus teaches us to pray this prayer.

Continuing our series on the Lords Prayer - Matthew 6:12 Forgiveness in Prayer and Practice. Forgiveness is as essential to our soul's life and health, as food is for our body. Forgiveness is a deep expression of the gospel - God is willing to cancel our debts with Him (forgive us) on the basis of Christ having paid the bill in full so that we are released and free to live for Him. A forgiving spirit is evidence of being forgiven. Jesus says, that proof of your sins being forgiven by God is evidenced by you forgiving others.

“Living Daily from God's Hand” from Matthew 6:11 the 4th petition of the Lord's Prayer “Give us today our daily bread”. You will see the connection between the LORD providing for His people is the desert after their rescue from Egypt. It was a daily provision in their walk with the Lord as He was also walking with them and among them. It was a living out of “I will be your God and you will be my people”, which is an oft repeated statement in Scripture expressing Yahweh's covenant relationship with His people. Even when Israel complained the LORD still provided.

Our fourth message in this series using Matthew 6:10b we consider what it looks like to actively seek God's Will for our lives through prayer

We continue our series on looking at The Lord's Prayer and this week using Matthew 13:31-33 we look at Thy Kingdom Come. "The Kingdom of God is God's rule, over God's people, in God's place.” 1. The Coming of God's Kingdom is Desirable 2. The Coming of God's Kingdom is Difficult 3. The Coming of God's Kingdom is Definite

The second in Our Lord's Prayer series is entitled Praying to Keep God's Name Holy, from Matthew 6:9b. What does Jesus mean in teaching us to pray for God's Name to be hallowed? Jesus doesn't teach us to pray “Hallowed IS Your Name” but “Hallowed BE Your Name”. We will look at a Balconeer vs a Traveller (Spectator vs one on a Journey to holiness) from JI Packer's "Knowing God”. § It's when our personal and corporate (church) holiness REFLECTS GOD'S HOLINESS MORE AND MORE. When God's name is revered, honoured and praised (Matt.5:16). § That's already happening in Heaven. § Jesus teaches us to pray that it may happen more and more on earth.

We start a new series on Our Lord's Prayer - we will look at Matthew and Luke and how Jesus teaches us that God is as close as a loving, adoptive Father. At the same time, He powerfully rules the universe from His throne-room in heaven. Hopefully with an enlarged view of God our Father, we learn to pray bigger prayers!

Today we take a look at various texts in Proverbs - Proverbs 14:29; 15:1,18; 16:32; 19:11; 30:33 Proverbs teaches us how to live well in God's world. Most people you talk to, want to live well. Do YOU want to live well? Listen to God! Today we are looking at what God's Word in Proverbs says about Wise Temperament, especially viewing ANGER and PATIENCE.

What happened to all the jokers?, asks writer and columnist John Summers in North and South last year. And he has a point. When my dear-departed great-grandmother Georgie Morrissey was alive every man on the face of the earth was a joker. Some of the young ones were bodgies. Their female accomplices were widgies. John Summers explores this idea of slang - and the death of a particular slang word or phrase dies - in his piece in North and South.

A message of Hope from Luke 7:11 - 17

Continuing our series on the Apostle's Creed - I Believe in the forgiveness of sins.... we will use the Text: Psalm 103 : 1 - 14, Matthew 18 : 21 - 35

We are joined by guest preacher, Bill Bosker, who preaches an encouraging message on 'Investing in God's Kingdom'.

This week we have Ps Bill Bosker sharing with us on the resurrection from the dead, and the hope that comes from knowing the truth. We will be looking at 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 and casting our eyes not just to the future, but also to Jesus, to see what transformation awaits us.

If Jesus didn't rise from the dead, then our faith is futile. Bill Bosker takes us through 1 Corinthians 15:12-34, which fill us with confidence and assurance in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, all central to our strong hope.

In de vijftiende aflevering van de podcast van Sport Noord is de in Zwitserland geboren Groningse schaatser Marcel Bosker (22) te gast bij host Thijs de Jong en co-host André van den Ende (Zwoebe).

Show #170 | Guest: Author Bianca Bosker. | Show Summary: Bianca Bosker gave up her job as executive tech editor at the Huffington Post in favor of tasting wines at 8 a.m., lifting and sorting heavy bottles as a “cellar rat” in one of Manhattan’s top restaurants; she sacrificed coffee, spicy foods, and sometimes even toothpaste, so as not to blunt her taste buds. CORK DORK: A Wine-Fueled Adventure Among the Obsessive Sommeliers, Big Bottle Hunters, and Rogue Scientists Who Taught Me to Live for Taste takes the reader inside an elite tasting group, a Burgundy bacchanal, a Michelin-starred restaurant, an fMRI machine, and more as Bosker strives to make sense, once and for all, of our complicated relationship with fermented grape juice.

Bianca Bosker left a career as a tech writer to explore the world of sommeliers, wine makers, and well-heeled oenophiles. A wine novice at first, Bosker quickly got sucked into the community of bottle-obsessives through working in restaurants and attending tastings and events, including the notorious La Paulée fest, which Bianca describes a big “wine orgy.” After becoming a certified sommelier, Bosker turned the notes from her journey into "Cork Dork," an immensely entertaining book that demystifies the wine industry. In her chat With Helen and Greg, Bianca looks back on some of the most surprising moments she encountered on her quest to becoming a master taster, and she offers some notes on how anyone can approach wine like a bona fide Cork Dork.  Learn more about your ad choices.
