For over five decades landscape designer, sculptor and naturalist Leland Miyano has connected people to Hawaiian native ecosystems through his gardens in Kahulu`u, at the Bishop Museum and at The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu. In 2019, he created an award winning double hulled canoe installation comprised of invasive guava branches which reflects a Hawaiian sense of place while acknowledging the massive ecosystem transformations Hawai`i has undergone.  He shows us his native Hawaiian garden at the Atherton Halau, his work in stone and wood, and talks about his life-long passion for endemic species from snails to plants as an expression of connectivity between science and art.

In this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with Henry Smith, Professor Emeritus in the Dept. of East Asian Languages & Cultures at Columbia University.  Together we delve into the scientific aspects of Meiji woodblock prints, exploring the trajectory of Nishiki-e during the late Edo and Meiji eras. Additionally, we examine the significance of cochineal and naphthol dyes, and scrutinize particle sizes. Henry's scholarly contributions include groundbreaking articles on subjects such as Hokusai and the Blue Revolution, with the introduction of Prussian Blue to the Japanese woodblock aesthetic during the mid to late Edo Period.  Join me in discovering how Henry's passion drew him into the enchanting world of Meiji woodblock prints, as we navigate the influence of Western collectors in Meiji Japan, exemplified by figures like English s urgeon William Anderson. Henry helps me in understanding the rich palette and the science behind Meiji prints, shaped by the infusion of imported dyes and pigments.

Originating in early twentieth-century Japan, alongside the shin-hanga movement, this style emphasizes the artist's direct involvement in the entire printmaking process — from design and carving to printing. While the designs, especially in the early stages, may appear rudimentary, the concept of artists producing their own prints marked a significant departure from the traditional model where a select group of carvers, printers, and publishers collaborated in the creation of woodblock prints. shin hanga - is a style of Japanese woodblock printmaking that emerged in the early 20th century, marking the end of the nishiki-e period. Originating around 1915 under the direction of Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962), the art form responded to the foreign demand for "traditional" Japanese imagery. Shin hanga artists focused on motifs like castles, bridges, famous landscapes, and bamboo forests. The style was initiated when Watanabe discovered Austrian artist Fritz Capelari (1884-1950) and commissioned him to design prints for Watanabe's budding printing house. This collaboration led to the evolution of shin hanga into a distinctive new style of Japanese woodblock printing. The shin hanga movement thrived until its inevitable decline after the Second World War (1939-1945). fan print (uchiwa-e) - are crafted in the form of flat, oval fans using materials such as rice paper or silk.

View of Foreigners' Houses on the Beach Street Seen From Yokohama Port (ca. 1873) by Hiroshige III (1842-1894) Sadahide Utagawa (1807-1878/79) - was a designer of nishiki-e during the late Edo and early Meiji Periods. He trained under Utagawa Kunisada and depicted medieval Japanese scenes, collaborating on the 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō, and prints related to Yokohama-e.   Battle of Ōei (ca.1848) Sir William Henry Perkin (1838–1907) was a British chemist who is renowned for his accidental discovery of the first synthetic dye, known as mauveine or mauve. This significant breakthrough occurred in 1856 when Perkin was attempting to synthesize quinine, a treatment for malaria, from coal tar derivatives. Instead, he obtained a purple-colored substance while working with aniline, leading to the creation of the vibrant purple dye. napthols - are special dyes used in making colourful fabrics on handlooms. They get their name from a specific part in their makeup called an azo group. These dyes are known for making colors really bright and long-lasting on fabrics. They help create fabrics in lots of different colors, like orange, brown, yellow, scarlet, golden yellow, black, red, violet, and more.  orpiment -  sekiō in Japanese, is a bright yellow to orange-yellow mineral composed of arsenic trisulfide (As2S3). It has been historically used as a pigment in painting and for other decorative purposes due to its vibrant color. Often found in association with realgar, another arsenic sulfide mineral, orpiment has also been employed in traditional medicine and alchemy. However, its toxic nature limits such applications, and it's crucial to note that handling orpiment, especially in powdered form, poses health risks due to the presence of arsenic. Marco Leona PhD - is the David H. Koch Scientist at Large at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He has written several articles on Spectroscopy and art.  Estée Lauder (1906-2004) - was a pioneering American businesswoman and the co-founder of the renowned cosmetics company Estée Lauder Companies.

After Asano was forced to commit seppuku (a form of ritual suicide), his loyal retainers, the 47 Ronin, meticulously planned and executed the revenge, successfully avenging their lord's honor. The story is a celebrated example of bushido (samurai code) and loyalty in Japanese history and folklore. smalt - is a deep blue pigment that has been historically used in art and ceramics. It is composed of finely powdered glass, often colored with cobalt oxide to achieve its distinctive blue hue. Smalt was popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods as a substitute for expensive blue pigments like lapis lazuli. Artists would mix smalt with binders to create blue paint for their artworks. Smalt has some drawbacks, including a tendency to fade over time and a vulnerability to darkening when exposed to certain environmental conditions. Keiji Shinohara - is a Japanese mokuhanga printmaker who apprenticed under Uesugi Keiichiro in Ōsaka. He is the artist-in-residence at Wesleyan University in Connecticut.

Marcin Dudek (b. 1979, Poland) lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. Art as a strategy for living; Marcin Dudek’s practice builds from autobiographical experience and expands to explore the broader phenomenon that shaped it. These include the rituals of subculture, DIY economy and crowd dynamics – how one gets pulled into many and what control is lost as a mass gains momentum. Often working with found, salvaged or repurposed materials, Dudek constructs objects, installations, painting and performance, touching upon questions of power and aggression in the context of sport and cultural spectacle. His paintings offer insight into his overall approach, which incorporates a rather obsessive work ethic, meticulously slicing and manipulating medical tape, rubbing images into the cloth and building up a painting through collage. The level of detail and craft is manic and neurotic, meditative and thoughtful, as violence becomes an energetic aesthetic reflecting a lived experience. After leaving Poland aged 21, he studied at the University Mozarteum, Salzburg and at Central Saint Martins, London, graduating in 2005 and 2007 respectively. His work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Salzburger Kunstverein (AT), the Arad Art Museum (RO), Bunkier Sztuki Gallery in Krakow (PL), the Goethe-Institut Ukraine, and The Warehouse Dallas (US). His installation "The Cathedral of Human Labor" (2013) is on permanent view at the Verbeke Foundation in Belgium. In 2018, he presented a large installation at Manifesta 12 Palermo, which was followed by a solo exhibition at the Wrocław Contemporary Museum. Current and upcoming exhibitions include the "Psychic Wounds" at The Warehouse Dallas (US) curated by Gavin Delahunty and a group exhibition at 180 The Strand/ Vinyl Factory, curated by OOF, London (UK). --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Listen to the full story: https://audiodesires.com/story/composure/ In this Erotic ASMR story, newlyweds Charlotte and Clive test out their new remote-controlled sextoy while enjoying the beautiful installations at the Museum of Contemporary Art. While other guests around them contemplate the aesthetics of philosophy, Charlotte tries to keep her composure while Clive expertly and dominantly controls the vibrating egg inside her. Can Charlotte keep her composure until Clive tells her she can sneak into the washroom to finish? Find out in this week's adventurous sex toy masturbation story. I tend to favor the second-floor sculpture wing of the Contemporary Museum of Art. That's where all of the ancient Greek and Roman statues are kept. But today I'm feeling… adventurous. A little to our right, the only other visitors in the room silently observe each painting before moving on to the next. I silently, impatiently, wait for them to depart, hoping Clive and I will soon be the only visitors left in this particular gallery. Typically, I don't mind when the museum is crowded. But today…today is different. Today, at the request—no—the insistence of my husband, I'm wearing a small, vibrating egg inside of me while we are wandering around the museum. The egg fits so snugly, so perfectly, inside my pussy. It presses lightly up against my clit and is held inside me by my panties and the tight fit of my black jeans. While being pleasured during our museum visit is a game in itself. The most exciting thing about the egg is… I have no control over it. I'm standing here in front of this gorgeous nearly 500-year old painting and I can think of nothing except when Clive will decide it's time for the game to begin. I am, admittedly, very turned on by the idea of being edged and denied orgasm again and again. The added element of this happening in public was Clive's idea. I glance over my shoulder and notice that Clive and I are now the only ones in the gallery. Suddenly, the vibrating egg comes to life inside of me.

In this episode, I’m going to be speaking with one of the hardest working human beings to ever step into the world of poker, Jennifer Shahade.Jennifer has a list of credits, accomplishments, and accolades that most people could only dream of achieving and she doesn’t appear to be anywhere close to stopping anytime soon.Before poker, she first showed her impressive talent for strategic games in the world of chess. She became a National Master at the age of 16 and was the first female to win the US Junior Open. She has won two US Chess Women’s Championship titles as well as a silver Olympic medal.Jennifer is currently the Women’s Program Director at US Chess, acting as an Ambassador, host, and fundraiser.

The opportunity to hear her words, advice, wisdom, and warnings are invaluable. So once again, this is Brad Wilson, and without any further ado here’s my conversation with the amazing Jennifer Shahade on Chasing Poker Greatness.

Heather Dewey-Hagborg is one of the most creative people and orthogonal thinkers I have ever had the pleasure to know. I first met and learned of Heather’s work at the Contemporary Museum of Art in Chicago where she presented as a co-founder and co-curator of REFRESH, an inclusive and politically engaged collaborative platform at the intersection of art, science, and technology. Heather has a BA from Bennington College, a Master of Professional Studies in Interactive Telecommunications from New York University, and a PhD in Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Heather’s work has been shown internationally at events and venues including the World Economic Forum, the Shenzhen Urbanism and Architecture Biennale, and PS1 MOMA, and her work is held in public collections of the Pompidou Center in Paris, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the New York Historical Society.  Heather and her work have been widely discussed in the media, from the New York Times and the BBC to Art Forum, TED and Wired. She has won a number of grants, residencies, and awards for her work. She is a former Assistant Professor of Art and Technology Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Bio-Design at Parsons, the New School, an artist fellow at A.I. Now, and an affiliate of Data & Society. She is also a co-founder and co-curator of REFRESH, an inclusive and politically engaged collaborative platform at the intersection of Art, Science, and Technology. Heather got into DNA Phenotyping that resulted her controversial project Stranger Visions, which allowed her to bring awareness to forensic DNA phenotyping and her concern that it could be the next version of racial profiling, which she addressed in “Sci-Fi Crime Drama with a Strong Black Lead” vis-à-vis the use and misuse of DNA data. Heather also worked with whistle blower, Chelsea Manning which resulted in the work, Probably Chelsea, which is an amazing odyssey and outcome. This was followed by a solo-exhibition Genomic Intimacy and her most recent project T3511. Our conversation in this episode is wide ranging, as is her work. There are too few people in the world today like Heather, which is a shame, and is why I am so happy to have had such a wonderful time talking with her and being able to share it with you. It is one thing to read about Heather and her work herein, it’s another to hear her story and thought process via our podcast conversation, but I strongly encourage you to visit her work in person or online via the links below. You won’t be disappointed.  

Meet Masaaki, a designer, artist, consultant - and expert on creativity!Unleash your own creative potentialIn this podcast episode, we talk about the importance of education and empowerment of individuals so they can unleash the potential they already have inside of them.Masaaki believes that everyone is creative and that each of us can use their own creativity to create something great. As author of several books about creativity, he never had a background in practcing arts himself - until someone challenged him to do so. Only two years ago, he decided to demonstrate, that anyone can become an artist, and has been extremely successful with it since. His calligraphy paintings have been featured in more than 10 exhibitions in the past year, and has already been honoured as the global ambassador of the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy. (Copyright to: Masaaki Hasegawa, www.masaakih.com)What role do you play in society?It's important we all reflect on the different roles each of us play in society, and what the impact is that you leave behind - does it make you happy and reflect your values? Masaaki reminds us that the roles are not given or fixed, and up to us to modify in the way that truly represents the change we want to see. Masaaki himself sees that his role in society, no matter if related to art, design or education is always about empowering others to see their potential, recognise their role and and make a positive difference.Sustainability as force for innovationHe believes that sustainability allows us to higher our perspective and make new connections that we otherwise would not have seen. It is a way to innovate, find new approaches and create progress. Like this, sustainability can make us more successful both personally and professionally.Sustainability is something that can accompany you in the longer time and get rid of short-term, narrow-minded thinking. It helps us to be aware of the things in our "blind spot" and see beyond what we are used to.Create your own happinessLastly, we speak about the moment when what you think, say and do are in harmony: happiness. Masaaki shares how he believes we all can lead a happier life, and share that happiness with those around us. We already have everything it takes to be happy and creative inside of us, so let's live fully, love and do what we believe in, we only have one life after all!
