Podcasts about curating

Text and Be HeardChange starts the moment someone you trust looks you in the eye and says, you can't keep living this way—and we choose to listen. We take Step One out of the narrow box of “just stop” and turn it into a practical, courageous shift toward honesty, structure, and community. That means pausing the behavior long enough to think clearly, building simple routines that keep you safe, and choosing mentors who guide you past willpower into real momentum.We unpack, why a 72-hour detox window creates space for truth, how to use an emotional warm-up before deep work, and why a scorecard turns vague intentions into visible progress. We talk about the roots of the 12 steps, how psychology has evolved, and how modern recovery must address trauma, family patterns, and the everyday inputs that quietly drive relapse. Alcohol, gambling, and drugs are obvious hazards, but so are the “normal” poisons—fast food, phone scrolling, and the ads that celebrate escapism. Curating your attention, your circle, and your habits becomes a daily act of self-respect.You'll hear a simple blueprint: stop lying, ask for help, write down what you want, and set a schedule that protects your energy. Bring in a recovery coach, a career mentor, a financial guide, and a spiritual advisor to widen your capacity. Use small wins—movement, sleep, clean meals, outreach, uplifting content—to rebuild trust with yourself. If you've wasted years in addiction and more time trying to do it alone, this is your moment to rewrite the pattern with clarity and support.If this resonates, subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review so others can find the show.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron discusses the pervasive impact of trauma and overstimulation on our nervous systems, particularly in the context of constant exposure to fear-inducing content through social media and news. She explores how our brains are wired to respond to threats and the resulting physical and mental health issues that can arise. Ali offers practical solutions for regulating our nervous systems, emphasizes the importance of living a values-based life, and encourages listeners to find balance amidst chaos. Takeaways Trauma affects us all, often without our awareness. Our nervous systems are not designed for constant fear. Social media and news can create a jaded view of the world. Fear can lead to chronic health issues and mental health struggles. Setting boundaries around content consumption is crucial. Curating your social media feed can protect your peace. Living a values-based life enhances overall well-being. Small changes can lead to significant improvements in life balance. Self-awareness is key to managing anxiety and fear. It's important to seek help when feeling overwhelmed.  Titles Navigating Trauma in a Digital Age Understanding Our Nervous System's Response to Fear Sound bites "Fear activates the nervous system."

In this first episode of our new miniseries, Erica Moiah James introduces the 18th-century pastel Portrait of a Young Woman, shares her experience first encountering the work at the Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM), and explains how she has tackled the process of unravelling this woman's identity. She speaks with Judy Mann, the senior curator of European art to 1800 at SLAM, discussing the acquisition of the work, its provenance, its role within the collection, and the ways in which the museum thinks about curating history and race through the care and exhibition of this portrait. Erica and Judy explore what it means to name an individual who has historically been unnamed in the history of Western art and how museums and publics might attend to the presence of Black and Brown people in historical images.

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Sep 17, 2025 The pursuit of authentic spiritual transformation requires intentional curation of influences and environments. Just as certain people, media, or experiences can draw you toward destructive patterns, others can cultivate genuine hunger for divine connection. This principle of spiritual exposure suggests that your desires and behaviors often reflect what you consistently encounter. True spiritual ministry differs fundamentally from religious performance. When someone ministers from authentic encounter with the divine, their expression carries a distinct quality - they're addressing heaven rather than seeking human approval. This "audience of one" mentality develops through private spiritual discipline, not public platform experience. The difference becomes evident in how worship leaders, teachers, and ministers approach their service. Spiritual knowledge operates differently than intellectual understanding. Rather than mental accumulation of facts, genuine spiritual knowledge comes through direct experience and encounter. This experiential knowing transforms not just understanding but actual capacity for spiritual perception and response. Advanced spiritual experiences may involve accessing realms where personal opinions, emotions, and even individual will become secondary to divine influence. Some describe encounters where the ordinary boundaries of time, space, and personal perspective shift dramatically. These experiences reportedly provide infusions of spiritual understanding that transcend normal human comprehension. The goal of deep spiritual pursuit involves reaching places where personal agendas no longer interfere with divine communication. Historical spiritual figures demonstrated this principle - their extraordinary actions resulted from exposure to spiritual realities that completely reoriented their priorities and capabilities. However, several cautions merit consideration. Claims about accessing special spiritual realms can sometimes reflect psychological states rather than genuine spiritual experiences. The emphasis on transcending personal will and opinion, while having precedent in mystical traditions, could potentially be misused to justify harmful behaviors or unhealthy group dynamics. Additionally, political views presented as spiritual revelations should be evaluated carefully, as they may reflect human bias rather than divine guidance. The healthiest approach involves maintaining discernment while remaining open to authentic spiritual growth, seeking community accountability, and ensuring that spiritual practices enhance rather than diminish psychological wellbeing and ethical behavior.

How can we solve the puzzle of regulating AI in healthcare? This is the question that Dr. Ricardo Baptista Leite and his team at HealthAI - The Global Agency for Responsible AI in Health ask themselves every day. Their goal? To help international organizations, governments, and local stakeholders strike a balance between regulation and access to the latest innovation in the field. A thorny equation, considering the speed of progress in AI and the time it takes to establish a regulatory framework that, by definition, applies in the long term. With passion and enthusiasm, Ricardo shares the approach they are taking to achieve their mission: by fostering a global community to share best practices and adverse events, by building tailored in-country mechanisms aligned with international guidelines, and by curating the most comprehensive directory of registered AI solutions, which countries and innovators can consider. One thing seems certain: we must evaluate these new technologies from a risk-benefit perspective, drawing on the well-known methods of post-market monitoring that have been applied to pharmaceutical products for decades. A way to remain critical of their use, grant patients and healthcare professionals access to them, and to drive this transformative shift with confidence and security. Timeline: 00:00:00 - Ricardo's background at the interface of medicine, research, and health policy 00:04:55 - Why we are at a turning point in healthcare 00:08:33 - HealthAI's role in translating international guidelines for AI use in healthcare to local realities 00:13:08 - Bridging long-term regulation and rapid technological progress 00:21:55 - Curating the right AI solutions in healthcare 00:25:55 - Building trust and adoption among clinicians and patients 00:32:26 - The parallel between elevators and AI in healthcare 00:37:30 - The potential of AI for predictive population health management What we also talked about with Ricardo: HIMSS Europe Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) Stéphanie Allassonniere Agentic AI Ambient AI Elisha Otis As Ricardo mentioned during the episode, you can learn more about HealthAI here and follow their activities on LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube.

We all want to overcome, but too often, we curate our pain out of view—tidy it up, slap a spiritual platitude on top, and hope time heals what we never confronted. This week on Win Today, ESPN's Lauren Sisler reveals what happened when her life fell apart at 18. She buried both of her parents just hours apart. And in the wake of that trauma, she didn't get a “hall pass” from grief. She didn't get a spiritual fast-forward button. She had to live every moment of it, raw and real. In this powerful conversation, we take on the lies of “rah-rah Christianity,” the armor of image management, and the emotional expense of avoidance. If you've ever wondered why God didn't spare you from the pain… or why it still lingers even though you “moved on,” this episode will meet you where you really live.

What would an extra $1000 every month mean to you and your family?   Inflation. Waiting for a raise that might not happen. So many people are looking for ways to earn extra income right now. Today I'm talking about how a subscription box side hustle could bring an extra $1000 a month to your family - with only 50 subscribers.  A subscription box business can be a full-time business. But it doesn't have to be. Many members of Launch Your Box have full-time, 9-5 style jobs and successful subscription box side hustles. They are nurse practitioners, teachers, certified registered nurse anesthetists, hair stylists, realtors, dentists, and more. They're also subscription box owners who bring in additional income with their side hustles.  You can, too! Let's do the math. If you have 50 subscribers and make $20 of profit per box, that's an extra $1000 going into your bank account every month.  Of course, it's going to take time and effort to get there. But following these six steps will have you well on your way to a successful subscription box side hustle.    Identify what you like or have an interest in.   Make sure it's something you're good at or have expertise in.  You have to be passionate about the subject matter or it won't last!  Don't try to be like anyone else - YOU will set your subscription box apart.     Ask yourself if there are other people around you with the same interest.    That's the audience you need to build!  Where can you find more of those people?  Where do they hang out online?    Start a social media account(s) on the platforms where your people hang out.   Start sharing videos, posts, etc.  Ask your friends to like your page and share it with their friends.  Make sure you're speaking the language of the person you are trying to attract. Messaging matters!    Run a giveaway.   Use Kingsumo (it's FREE!)  The prize needs to be a box just like what you want to sell.  Capture emails for those who enter your giveaway and start building your email list.    Introduce the idea for the box to your audience.   Get their feedback and have them help you make decisions.   You want their buy-in to validate your concept.  Niche down if needed.    Set a launch date and a goal.    Create excitement and generate buzz.  Get your new audience excited about the upcoming box!  Engaging your audience is key at every stage of your subscription box journey, whether it's your full-time gig or a side hustle. Continue to ask for feedback as you grow. Maintain an ongoing focus on audience building and keep serving your audience!  Join me for this episode as I talk about why a subscription box side hustle might be right for you and the six steps you need to take in order to make yours a success.

How do the roles we observe as children shape the art we create as adults? In this conversation, I connect with painter and curator Yannie Gu, whose creative vision was formed by the women in her life in Shanghai.  Tune in to hear how Yannie leveraged the power of community to create an experimental pop-up gallery. Yannie offers a beautiful perspective on her use of color and the symbolism of flames in her work, creating a world where her characters are protected and powerful.

Welcome to episode #1000 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Patrick Tanguay is a self-described generalist, synthesist and curator whose lifelong curiosity and love of reading have led him across multiple careers, and now shape one of the most thoughtful newsletters in the futures-thinking space. As the creator of Sentiers, a weekly “futures thinking observatory” (and one of my most favorite reads), Patrick spotlights signals of change across technology, society, and culture. He helps readers trace emergent paths instead of prescribing them. Alongside his writing, he designed and launched Station C, one of the first co-working spaces, co-founded the print magazine, The Alpine Review, and seeded communities like Creative Mornings and some of the earlier community get-togethers for the digital enthusiasts. For episode #1000, Patrick guides us through how he curates global currents of change, explores how platform design, sense-making systems and personal knowledge management influence our capacity to understand the future, and why the skills of generalists matter now more than ever. He walks us through why Sentiers became such a respected newsletter and how its architecture reinforces and expands his handwritten trail of ideas. Across the show we consider how to build a personal “observatory,” not just follow feed algorithms, how to connect seemingly disparate signals from AI to city futures, and why being able to notice what's happening before everyone else is becoming more crucial... and more rare. This is an episode for curious minds, digital gardeners and anyone searching for clarity amid chaos. I hope that you will also take a couple of moments to listen to my opening monologue about my reflections on the past 1000 episodes (nearly 20 years), and what the future will hold for this show starting next week.

Each episode of this podcast is meant to be profound and transformative when you hear the message and actually receive the information. Putting out valuable insight and direct relevant content is the goal of this platform so that when you tune in and hear a new episode, it can land on open ears willing to digest the message in a personal and impactful way. Curating such meaningful content takes mental focus that can sometimes falls short of the high priority list we call life on a weekly basis, yet still has to have room made for it in order to remain passionate about the cause.How often do we fall short on the people who truly matter to us on a personal level in our lives? When's the last time you reached out to your old  best friend, or favorite aunt? Could you make it a priority to actually send them a little text when you think of them next time to let them know they are still important to you, even if they aren't a part of your high priority list currently? Life is always in session, but don't let that be an excuse for you to feel guilty for doing life the way you have needed to that may have caused a distance, in a relationship or an action you used to pour more in to once upon a time.Send that message out to the friend you have been meaning to catch up with. Answer the phone next time grandma calls, even though you've told yourself you're too busy for the last 30 calls she made. Don't let the distance be the driving force that separates you from each other even longer. If you have the time to make a lunch date with clients, maybe realize that you have the time to take your spouse out on a date instead. Pull the trigger and play some text roulette.

After pushing the envelope on labels like Optimo Music and Höga Nord, Berlin-based duo Rudolf Abramov return with their latest outing “High Japan,” which launches Aquasonic Records, the new label founded by the duo. “High Japan” captures a late-night drift through neon-lit streets, combining broken funk, modular synths, and hypnotic melodies into something that defies easy categorization. The track introduces Aquasonic Records, a Berlin-based imprint focused on music that “operates outside conventional genre boundaries and algorithmic listening patterns.” Curating artists working across subaquatic kraut-dub to post-club sounds, celebrating musicians who don't fit traditional moulds. Aquasonic connects music with marine life through collaborations with divers, pairing releases with underwater footage while supporting ocean conservation efforts.

France is the world's most-visited country—and one of the hottest STR markets. In this episode of the STR Data Lab, Jamie Lane sits down with Louis Andrews, Director and President of OVO Network, to unpack how the French market works today and where it's headed next.Louis explains OVO's software-first model (their own PMS + direct booking platform) and why 75–80% of their bookings come direct. We dig into how they maintain a 4.8+ review score at scale without handling on-the-ground ops, what makes French demand unique (heavy domestic travel, car and rail trips, repeat family holidays), and how new regulations are reshaping urban vs. leisure destinations. Louis also shares the economics behind OVO's approach (a distribution fee on direct bookings), the curation bar for five-star chalets, and the biggest competitive threat he sees on the horizon: increasingly automated PMS tools.What you'll learnHow France books: A culture of domestic, family, drive-to travel—and why mountains keep winning.Direct booking at scale: OVO's tech stack, SEO/digital strategy, and the data advantages of owning the funnel.Quality > quantity: Curating only five-star-worthy homes and training local concierges to protect guest experience.Profit model: Why charging a distribution fee on direct reservations changes the unit economics.Market outlook: Supply saturation post-COVID, tighter rules in cities, and why PMS automation may disrupt PMs.This episode is for hosts, PMs, and investors eyeing Europe—especially anyone curious how to drive direct bookings, keep reviews high, and navigate France's evolving regulatory landscape.You don't want to miss this episode!~~~~Signup for AirDNA for FREE

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Chris Hallberg, entrepreneur, business coach, and former military and police leader, known for creating the Business Sergeant Leadership Philosophy. Chris brings decades of experience transforming teams, sharpening execution, and implementing EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) to help companies achieve breakthrough performance.From his formative years in the Army National Guard and law enforcement to his career as a sought-after business coach, Chris shares powerful insights into leadership, accountability, and the non-negotiables that separate thriving organizations from stagnant ones. He discusses why the best companies are unafraid to make tough personnel decisions, the importance of “re-enlisting” your team every 90 days, and how to kill problems decisively rather than admiring them in endless meetings.Listeners will hear candid stories from Chris' journey, his philosophy on curating the right people in the right seats, and practical lessons from his book The Business Sergeant's Field Manual: Military-Grade Business Execution Without the Yelling and Push-Ups. If you're a leader looking to build elite teams, create accountability without politics, and drive results with clarity, this conversation is packed with strategies to elevate your leadership game.TakeawaysMilitary and police leadership taught Chris the value of learning from both the best and worst leaders—and applying those lessons to business.Elite teams are built by curating the right people, not trying to “fix” the wrong ones.Commitment is key: employees should symbolically “re-enlist” every 90 days to stay aligned with company goals.Healthy conflict is essential; if team members can't speak the truth, accountability and results will collapse.Hiring should focus on slow-to-hire, quick-to-fire practices, supported by assessments that ensure cultural and role fit.Chris' “three winners, three losers” framework highlights how keeping the wrong people hurts individuals, teams, and future opportunities.Middle managers (sergeants) are critical bridges between leadership and frontline teams; they must be empowered to hire and fire.Moving goalposts erode accountability—leaders must set clear deal breakers and stick to them.Compensation should reflect high expectations: hire in the 75th percentile, expect 90th percentile performance.Always be recruiting—maintain a pipeline of talent by networking, even with competitors' top performers.New hires provide fresh perspectives; leaders should actively solicit feedback in their first weeks.Chapters00:00 Intro & Guest Welcome01:15 Lessons from Military & Police Leadership03:00 Commitment and Sacrifice in Team Building05:15 Applying Military Principles to Business Growth07:25 The 90-Day Re-Enlistment Concept09:30 Accountability and Volunteer Mindsets13:55 Curating the Right People vs. Fixing the Wrong Ones18:05 Decisiveness and Killing Problems Quickly21:20 The Fire Triangle and Root-Cause Problem Solving23:30 Healthy Conflict, Commitment, and Accountability28:20 Hiring Practices: Slow to Hire, Quick to Fire30:35 The Three Winners and Three Losers Framework35:15 Empowering Middle Managers (Sergeants)38:40 Lessons from The Business Sergeant's Field Manual42:00 Getting to the Next Level with the Right Team44:15 Favorite Books and Closing Reflections46:00 Outro & Key TakeawaysChris Hallberg's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-hallberg-01516315/https://www.facebook.com/chrishallberg09/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

This week on What's My Thesis?, host Javier Proenza is joined by Ann Shi, a nomadic curator and founder of a poco art collective, whose deeply intuitive curatorial practice bridges Chinese literati aesthetics, feminist mysticism, and contemporary Asian diasporic identity. With roots in China, academic training in Oxford and at Sotheby's Institute of Art, and early career experience on Wall Street, Ann's nonlinear path defies institutional expectations, illuminating how curating can become both an embodied ritual and an act of cultural translation. In this wide-ranging conversation, Ann reflects on growing up as the daughter of a classical inkwash painter and an opera singer, both devoted Buddhist practitioners who observed the Five Precepts, embodying compassion and discipline in daily life—a grounding that continues to shape how calligraphy, voice, and ritual manifest in her exhibitions. Drawing on her time as Associate Curator at Rice University's Chao Center for Asian Studies, she reflects on how oral histories and immigrant archives shaped her curatorial voice and informed her efforts to platform Asian art beyond the Western gaze. Together, Ann and Javier unpack the tension between authenticity and market sustainability, the legacy of the literati tradition in Chinese art, and the complicated dynamics of Asian representation within museum and gallery systems. They also explore Ann's use of feng shui, the five elements, and feminine archetypes—like the goddess Nüwa—as curatorial frameworks that honor the unseen and elevate spiritual intuition over spectacle. The episode closes with a discussion of “Nüwa's Garden: A Summer Offering in Clay, Fire, and Water,” Ann's recent show at Charles Arnoldi Studio in Venice Beach, and its irreverent, ritual-infused closing celebration featuring live performances and feminist mythologies. Topics Discussed: Asian art history beyond Western institutional frameworks Literati aesthetics and connoisseurship in Chinese painting Feminist mysticism, feng shui, and the unseen in exhibition design Spiritual embodiment and curating as a ritual practice Challenges of art market sustainability and cultural authenticity The evolution of ink-on-paper and gendered aesthetics in East Asian art Intersections of performance, memory, and oral history a poco art collective's programming and community Follow Ann Shi: a poco art collective – @a.poco.art.collective Personal account – @annonymous_cynist

Send us a textIn this new drop, we sit down with the duo behind Morning Jay's, led by Justen x Nate that redefines what breakfast can be. What began as a living room project has grown into a pop-up series that blends food, design, and community into one cohesive experience.We explore the brilliance of how their roots anchored in the intimacy of home craft the spirit of Morning Jay's. From a kitchen table where ideas first sparked, to curated menus and partnerships across the city, they've carried the essence of connection and creativity into every detail.Our conversation dives into how their love for one another found a collaboration that inspire their community-driven culinary experience; the balance of intentionality and surprise in their menus and how their ethos to "make breakfast different" effortlessly resonates. Morning Jay's isn't a pop-up, it's a reminder that food at its best is both intimate and expansive, rooted in memory but always reaching for new horizons.As always, we want to thank our partners at Blind Barber Chicago for hosting this necessary conversation, the community and our new friends for the warm hug that was their presence. See you all soon, The T o S Crew Need to catch up?

In luxury resale, customer relationships can span decades as buyers become sellers and vice versa. Geronimo Chala, Chief Client Officer at Rebag, explains how the brand has evolved from a simple buyout model into a comprehensive lifestyle platform that prioritizes community over transactions. From developing membership models that grow customer funds by 27% annually to creating experiences where customers connect with each other rather than just the brand, Rebag's approach demonstrates the future of loyalty in an omnichannel world.Curating the Re-Sale LifecycleKey takeaways:Community over transactions: Rebag shifted from viewing customers as individual transactions to building "a sense of community" where customers feel they "own the company" through membership and engagement models. - Geronimo [08:30]No channel separation: "There really is no separation between e-commerce and the physical stores" because customers naturally move between digital and physical touchpoints in their shopping journey. - Geronimo [05:31]Person-first data collection: Rather than focusing on brands and colors, Rebag captures customers' "internal self, their core beliefs" and lifestyles to create meaningful connections before any transaction occurs. - Geronimo [17:44]Curated solutions, not overwhelming options: When you have too much to offer, "we have to first get to know that customer, collect that data from them to then evaluate" which services will be most impactful, like "a concierge" at a resort. - Geronimo [23:29]In-Show Mentions:Charles Gorra (CEO and Founder, Rebag)Elizabeth Lane (Chief Marketing Officer, Rebag)Partnership with Macy's Inc. and Bloomingdale'sAssociated Links:Learn more about EndearCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Today, Ceri is joined by Dr Livia Alexander a Brooklyn based curator, writer and professor of Visual Studies at Montclair State University whose curatorial work bridges continents, disciplines and philosophies. Her work lives at the intersection of contemporary art, film and expanded media with a focus on artists and practices from Southwest Asia and North Africa. She is co-founder of Arte East and has contributed to and supported curatorial programmes for the Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, the Brooklyn Museum and the digital screen programme at Moynihan train station in New York. Livia reminds us that visionary work often happens out of sight, slow, durational and deeply relational.  This episode is a master class in curating as care infrastructure and expansive thinking. KEY TAKEAWAYS Livia´s use of diverse mediums and explorative, nuanced approach uncovers the quietly radical and overlooked perspectives. By prioritizing  thoughtful exploration over spectacle, Livia enables us to engage more meaningfully with the world and its challenges. Be true to your values but know when to let go. Have humility, recognise that your perspective is just one of many, and be open to other possibilities. Explore interactive media and gaming, they have great potential and allow audiences to interact with stories in new ways. BEST MOMENTS “We need to create those spaces to have conversations between unusual suspects - between the banker and the artist.” “Creativity isn't just about output. It's about asking better questions, slower ones, ones that resist spectacle and lean into complexity.” “Livia´s work makes space for friction, for paradox, for multiplicity. She invites us to listen across disciplines, across cultures, across power structures, without rushing to resolution.” RESOURCES https://www.livalex.net @liviajalexander PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

If your subscription box planning feels chaotic, rushed, or downright stressful, this episode is for you. I know what it's like to be stuck in a cycle of packing this month's box while still scrambling to figure out what's going in next month's. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this Friday Fuel episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm sharing how I went from winging it to planning six months of boxes in just one hour. And how you can do it too. You'll hear the story behind my 6 in 60 Workshop, why this system works, and five simple habits that will help you plan ahead and curate with confidence. Five actionable steps to help you plan and curate your subscription boxes: • Theme First – Map out 6 clear themes or anchor ideas. • Product Partners – Make a running list of your favorite wholesalers, handmade makers, or past vendors. Revisit this list every time you plan. • Budget Guardrails – Know what you can spend per box – product cost, shipping, packaging – so you're not scrambling later. • Lead Times Matter – Give yourself 8–12 weeks to order. Custom items take longer. • Marketing – Think about how you'll tease the box. Each theme should have a built-in story you can share on social media. Join me for this episode and learn how planning ahead makes everything feel easier – from sourcing products and teasing themes to delivering a box your subscribers can't stop talking about.

Episode 483 / Steven CoxSteven Cox (b. 1986, Aberdeen) is a Scottish artist who lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland. He holds a BA in Painting from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, University of Dundee, and an MA in Curating and Contemporary Art Theory from the University of Edinburgh.Cox is known for his vibrant abstract oil paintings, which explore materiality and mark-making. Over the past decade, he has developed a distinctive process involving the transfer of thick layers of oil paint onto canvas using plastic sheets. His work is deeply informed by an interest in the built environment, topography, and defaced surfaces, resulting in a visual language that oscillates between colour field painting and abstract expressionism. Cox is represented by Halsey McKay Gallery in New York. He has held numerous solo exhibitions internationally, including at Halsey McKay Gallery and A Hug From The Art World (New York, USA); Galerie Jérôme Pauchant (Paris, France); Annarumma Gallery (Naples, Italy); and Galleri Benoni (Copenhagen, Denmark). He has also exhibited in various international group exhibitions and artist residencies. His work has been featured in publications such as Modern Painters Magazine, ArtNews, ArtInfo, Wall Street International, Copenhagen Contemporary, Art F City, and Dust Magazine.More information: www.stevencox.co.ukInstagram: @studiostevencoxIn addition to his art practice, Steven Cox is the founder of Hunted Projects, a contemporary art gallery and curatorial platform based in Edinburgh. Established in 2011, Hunted Projects fosters unique collaborations with both emerging and established artists. Central to its ethos is a commitment to conducting in-depth interviews that provide insight into each artist's creative process and conceptual approach. These dialogues often inform the curation of site-specific solo and group exhibitions that amplify the artists' voices in compelling and innovative ways. More information: www.huntedprojects.comInstagram: @huntedprojects

In this episode of Tales From The Green Room -  mixed with joyous reflection, levity, and emotion - drummer extraordinaire Danny Luehring discusses the origins and evolution of Danny's Live Dead, a weekly Grateful Dead show hosted by him every Wednesday at Peri's Tavern in Fairfax, California. Danny shares insights into how the show started after the closure of  Phil Lesh's beloved Terrapin Crossroads, the challenges and rewards of curating a rotating lineup of musicians, and the significance of community and chemistry in live music. The hosts delve into Danny's musical background, memorable moments from his performances at Terrapin with his band, San Geronimo, and his first time playing with Phil Lesh, as he lauds the lasting impact of the Terrapin era. The conversation highlights the magic of live music, the depth of the Grateful Dead's influence, and Danny's future aspirations for his musical endeavors.HIGHLIGHTSYou see all the people that you know are ready for it and that trust you. That's the chemistry, too. I mean, chemistry, community…all those things. You can just line it up just right. And every night's different, but, my thing is I want it to be fucking amazing every night!I think music is a dimension. I don't know how else to explain it. Music is such a unit, like a dimension…the way it affects people, in general, like a blanket, on people, it just makes me feel like it's gotta be bigger than we think. And the Dead is probably one of the things that really got me thinking about that.My dad played guitar and I wanted to be a guitar player. So, for my fifth birthday he bought me an electric guitar and I remember it was at a costume party and I was dressed as a Denver Bronco and I put this thing on, and I broke the high string and it snapped back and hit me. And I thought it shocked me. 'cause it was an electric guitar. I mean, I was five. I was just like, oh my God. Drumsticks, please!Terrapin for me was something that a hundred percent changed my direction in life. I wasn't a Deadhead.I literally knew like two Dead songs. The first time I played at Terrapin I just kind of had to learn under fire. It is not like I didn't know who the Dead were, and they were obviously on my radar, I just wasn't, I wasn't ready until I I was in those circumstances. And then just in that… I don't know, it's hard to explain what happened. ~Danny LuehringLINKSDanny's Live DeadSan Geronimo BandPeri's TavernDanny's Live Dead Presents GD60!
