Podcasts about exhibitions

In this episode Matthew Lloyd Roberts was joined by Hannah Lund, Curator of Exhibitions and Displays at Leighton House and Sambourne House. Leighton House was built in Kensington by the Frederic Leighton, a painter, sculptor and president of the Royal Academy famed during the reign of Queen Victoria who vanished into relative obscurity during the 20th century. His house was an important place to create and exhibit his paintings, with a double height studio lit by north facing windows for the vast canvasses on which he worked. Fascinated by the material culture of the Islamic world, he created his ‘Arab Hall', tiling a domed extension to his house with West Asian ceramics gathered on a trip to Damascus. In this episode we discussed Leighton House, Victorian interest in Arabian culture, and the new curatorial interventions being made this year to mark the centenary of the house as a public museum run by the local authority, with new commissions from artists which query the meaning of such spaces their original context and to us today.The podcast is produced in association with the Architects' Journal, London Society, C20 Society and Save Britain's Heritage.

In this special bonus episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas launches an experimental new monthly format: a London events guide covering what's actually on in the city this month. June is arguably London's finest month — 16 to 17 hours of daylight, the longest evenings of the year, and an events calendar absolutely bursting at the seams. Jonathan walks through everything worth knowing about June in London: the major royal events including Trooping the Colour and Royal Ascot, the blockbuster summer exhibitions at Tate Modern, Tate Britain, the Royal Academy, the National Portrait Gallery, the V&A, and more, plus what's on in London theater from Shakespeare's Globe to the West End, live music at Wembley and the Roundhouse, and practical tips for surviving — and thriving in — a London heat wave. If this episode proves popular, Jonathan will make it a monthly fixture. Let him know what you think in the comments.

Trooping the Colour — the monarch's official birthday parade — is the major royal event of the year in 2026. Even without a ballot ticket to Horse Guards Parade, you can experience the procession on the Mall and the balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace by arriving very early and staking out a good spot. Every major summer blockbuster exhibition in London requires advance booking — some, like The Queen's Fashion at The King's Gallery, are already sold out through 2026. Book tickets as soon as you finish listening, even if your trip dates aren't confirmed yet. The Frida Kahlo survey at Tate Modern, the James McNeill Whistler retrospective at Tate Britain, and the Marilyn Monroe exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery are Jonathan's top three must-book exhibition picks for the month. The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition — the world's largest open submission art show, running since 1769 — is a uniquely chaotic, democratic, and wonderful experience where everything on the walls is for sale and any artist can enter. Shakespeare's Globe is staging Much Ado About Nothing from June 11, and Regent's Park Open Air Theatre opens A Midsummer Night's Dream on June 20 — watching Shakespeare outdoors on a long June evening is one of the quintessential London summer experiences. London generally does not have air conditioning in older buildings, hotel rooms, or most tube lines. The first thing you should do after arriving in summer is buy a fan — Jonathan recommends going straight to Argos, Britain's version of a catalog store, for an affordable one. The tube's older lines (Central, Piccadilly) get brutally hot in summer due to London clay absorbing and retaining heat underground. The Elizabeth line is fully air conditioned and runs east-west across the city — use it as much as possible in a heat wave. The National Gallery is experimenting with extended summer evening hours, staying open until 7 PM most evenings and until 9 PM on Fridays from July 1 — Jonathan's suggestion: have an early dinner, then walk over for a free evening of world-class art. Don't try to pack too much in. Pick three or four things you genuinely care about, build your days around those, and leave time to wander, sit in Green Park with a deck chair, or walk along the Thames in the long evening light. June in London is as much about the atmosphere as the attractions. ⠀ Soundbites "The light is the headline for June. You get sixteen to seventeen hours of daylight. Twilight stretches from around eight PM to nearly ten PM. You can have a full day of exploring, sit down for dinner, and still walk home along the Thames and have some daylight." — Jonathan on why June is London's best month. "If you've ever wondered what the best month to visit London is, a lot of people will quietly tell you it's this one." — Jonathan on June in London. Plan your day around it. Get up stupidly early — three, four, five in the morning — get your spot on the Mall and soak up the atmosphere. It'll be like a party atmosphere." — Jonathan on how to experience Trooping the Colour without a ticket. "The Queen's Fashion at The King's Gallery is sold out for the rest of the year, and I know a lot of people are gonna be really disappointed when they try to get tickets and they simply can't." — Jonathan's warning on the most in-demand exhibition of the summer. "The walls are packed from floor to ceiling and everything is for sale. It's chaotic and wonderful. And it's a great way to see up-and-coming artists and established artists side by side." — Jonathan on the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. "Shakespeare under the open sky in one of London's loveliest parks on a warm June evening — it doesn't get dark till ten PM anyway. Enjoy some champagne, enjoy some theater out in the green. That's my top theater pick for the month." — Jonathan on Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. "The first thing you should do after you land is go to what the British call an ironmonger — a hardware store — and buy a fan. Don't skimp. It is essential for Americans traveling in Europe." — Jonathan's number one summer travel tip. "The London clay is a heat sink. It absorbs heat and then it doesn't let it back out. So the tube gets really hot in the summer. If you are prone to heat issues, avoid the tube except the Elizabeth line, which is fully air conditioned." — Jonathan on navigating London in a heat wave. "I sat there in the rain in the 40s, got soaking wet. And I — not exaggerating — almost got hypothermia. It was July. I could not warm up when I got back to the hotel because the heating wasn't on and there weren't enough blankets because it was July." — Jonathan's cautionary tale about British summer weather. "Argos is exactly like Service Merchandise — you go in, there's a big catalog, you pick your thing, and it comes out on a conveyor belt. Get a fan. Don't even look at the weather forecast first. Just trust me — you're going to need a fan." — Jonathan's most practical London summer tip. ⠀ Chapters 00:21 Introduction — Jonathan launches the experimental monthly London events format 01:15 The Feel of June in London — Long days, the light, and why June is special 02:20 June Weather — What to expect, heat waves, and the maritime humidity problem 03:45 Peak Tourist Season — Crowds, hotel prices, and why June still beats July 05:00 Trooping the Colour — What it is, how to see it without a ticket, and Jonathan's tips for getting a good spot 08:30 Royal Ascot — Fascinators on the tube, the royal procession, and how to get tickets 10:00 Wimbledon — The ballot, resale tickets, strawberries and cream, and what to do if you can't get in 11:30 How to Book Exhibitions — Why advance booking is non-negotiable and the Queen's Fashion sellout warning 13:00 Frida Kahlo at Tate Modern — Jonathan's pick and why Tate Modern is worth seeing for the building alone 14:30 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (June 16) — The world's largest open submission art show 15:30 Anish Kapoor at the Hayward Gallery (June 16) — The Cloud Gate connection and why it's worth seeing 16:15 Marilyn Monroe at the National Portrait Gallery — Just opened, book fast 17:00 Barbara Hepworth at the Courtauld Gallery — And why Somerset House is worth a visit anyway 17:45 Schiaparelli at the V&A — Fashion exhibitions and why the V&A excels at them 18:15 Wes Anderson at the Design Museum — A treat for film fans 18:45 James McNeill Whistler at Tate Britain — A sellout show, book immediately 19:30 Wallace & Gromit at Young V&A — The Aardman exhibition Jonathan is hoping to catch in August 20:15 Closing This Month — Mikalojus Čiurlionis at the Royal Academy (closes June 21) and Hokusai at Dulwich (closes June 30) 21:00 Theater — Why June is the best time for London theater 21:30 Regent's Park Open Air Theatre — A Midsummer Night's Dream, Jonathan's top pick of the month 22:00 Shakespeare's Globe — Much Ado About Nothing from June 11 22:30 New West End Openings — To Kill a Mockingbird (June 25) and Cyrano de Bergerac (June 13) 23:00 Long-Running Shows — Lion King, Hamilton, Wicked, Six, Les Mis, and how to get discount tickets 24:00 Live Music — Harry Styles at Wembley, Olivia Dean at the O2, Orville Peck at the Roundhouse 25:00 Practical Tips: Heat — Does London have air conditioning?

In episode 74 of Trade Show Talk, Host Danica Tormohlen explores the New Zealand exhibition industry with Brent Spillane, Managing Director of XPO Exhibitions, the country's largest trade and consumer show organizer. Spillane is a true visionary in the exhibitions industry, with more than 15 years of experience at the helm of XPO, where he has been instrumental in shaping how industries connect, trade, and thrive through live experiences across the Asia-Pacific region.  After a successful corporate career at Allianz Australia, where he rose to General Manager of Allianz Finance, Spillane and his family acquired six trade shows in 2010 when dmg World Media exited New Zealand. Since then, he has carefully navigated XPO through challenges, including the pandemic, and even led a landmark High Court battle to preserve New Zealand's largest exhibition venue, Auckland Showgrounds, from being converted into a film studio.  Under Spillane's leadership, XPO Exhibitions has grown into a highly diversified business, delivering 19 of New Zealand's largest B2B and B2C events across industries like construction, architecture, manufacturing, food production, workplace safety, marine, hospitality, and more. Most recently, XPO announced a joint venture with Hannover Fairs Australia to launch Logistics Automation New Zealand, powered by CeMAT, in November.  In this month's advocacy segment, Tommy Goodwin, President and CEO of the Exhibitions and Conferences Alliance provides an in-depth overview of what attendees can expect at this year's Legislative Action Day. Get prepared for a day of industry lobbying on Capitol Hill on May 28, 2026 in Washington, DC.

On 31 Chambers Street, just across the street from City Hall, The Department of Records & Information Services (DORIS) works to document and archive New York in a building once known as the Hall of Records. DORIS has organized a new exhibit, 'NYC's Story: The City on Record,' where New Yorkers can come and see some of these records for themselves throughout 400 years of city history. DORIS Commissioner Pauline Toole and Rossy Mendez, archivist and exhibit curator, discuss what New York has in its archives, and listeners share their answer to one question in the exhibit: what makes New York, New York?

Curator Rob Evans and Susquehanna Art Museum's Director of Exhibitions, Rachel O'Connor, join us to explore American Identity: Restoring the Artistic Legacy of the Susquehanna River. The conversation highlights a groundbreaking exhibition featuring more than 100 artworks and artifacts—some dating back to the Native Susquehannock people—that reveal the Susquehanna River as a powerful artistic muse long before the Hudson River School. In connection with the America 250 celebration, this discussion reexamines the river's enduring cultural, historical, and artistic impact on American identity.Dr. Christopher Warren, Chief Curator of the National WWI Museum and Memorial, also joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on the history of World War I and why it still matters today. From the global forces that led to the war to its lasting political, cultural, and human consequences, Dr. Warren offers an accessible introduction to the Great War and the lessons it continues to hold for the modern world. The discussion also touches on the creation of the National WWI Museum and Memorial, rooted in a remarkable public effort to honor those who served and to preserve the war's legacy for future generations.

Native art isn't a relic. It's a dispatch from the present — and the Rockwell Museum's new exhibition, Native Now, makes that impossible to ignore.In this episode, host Joe Williams sits down with Amanda Lett, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions at the Rockwell, and Randee Spruce, Seneca Nation artist and independent curator, to unpack one of the most significant contemporary Native American art exhibitions in the museum's 50-year history. Native Now brings together works spanning Indigenous landscapes, Native futurism, and the concept of “always becoming” — a phrase the curators chose specifically because it resists the idea that Native peoples and their stories are finished. The show features artists including Jeffrey Gibson, Virgil Ortiz, Wendy Red Star, and Theresa Baker, many of whose works appear publicly for the first time.Amanda and Randee speak candidly about what it meant to build a real curatorial partnership — one where the exhibition labels were written entirely from artists' own words, where themes were reshaped until they felt true rather than academic, and where the Seneca Nation's voice had a genuine seat at the table. This is a conversation about art, land, resilience, and what it looks like when a museum actually listens.

Two new exhibits featuring Native artists from across the state opens Tuesday at the Textile Center in Minneapolis. One exhibit, “TWO-SPIRIT STORIES”, brings together six different emerging, Two-Spirit artists to respond to the question: “What is your story?” Across their pieces, they offer diverse and intimate reflections on the prompt.The second exhibit features 11 Dakota and Anishinaabe artists. From beadwork to canoes and baskets, “Mni Sóta: Traditions & Innovations” highlights the vast breadth of Native and textile art in traditional and contemporary ways. Penny Kagigebi is the curator for community collaboration for “TWO-SPIRIT STORIES.” She is a direct descendant of the White Earth Ojibwe. Delina White is curator for “Mni Sóta: Traditions & Innovations” and is a member of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe. She is also the founder of “IamAnishinaabe” fashion house as well as Native Nations Fashion Night. Kagigebi and White joined Minnesota Now for a conversation about their exhibits.

MICE это акроним и в подкасте мы с Кариной поговорили и про Meetings и про Incentives и про Conferences и, конечно же, про Exhibitions и все в Китае.Про то, насколько наш бизнес готов к Китаю и китайским реалиями, сложно ли выделяться на выставках, дорого ли возить сюда людей и к кому на выставках выстраиваются очереди.И конечно же подняли тему, можно ли в Китае получать сервис на 5 звезд везде и всегда, или эгалитарность вступает в конфликт с VIP-ожиданиями. А напоследок обсудили есть ли корреляция между неприятием Китая и нелюбовью к китайской кухне у некоторых гостей Поднебесной.Ссылка на статью:https://www.forbes.ru/spetsproekt/548238-nihao-po-planu-kak-sozdat-platformu-dla-razvitia-biznesa-s-kitaemМузыка: 王启文《老鼠愛大米》

Recorded live from McCormick Place in Chicago, this episode marks the official kickoff of the MakingChips journey toward IMTS 2026. With nine months to go, we sit down with two leaders helping shape the show itself: Michelle Edmondson, Vice President of Exhibitions for IMTS, and Bonnie Gurney, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Industry Relations. What unfolds is a behind-the-scenes look at how the largest manufacturing technology show in North America is built — from campaign strategy and theme development to visitor planning, education tracks, emerging technologies, and student engagement. This year's theme, "Achieve the Impossible," paired with the campaign message around "Six Days," reflects what IMTS is really about: momentum. It's not just about buying a machine this year. It's about seeing where the industry is heading five years from now. We explore how exhibitors should define ROI, why attendees need a strategy before walking the floor, what's new in 2026 (including the Industrial AI Arena and the 20th anniversary of the Emerging Technology Center), and how young people — including our own kids — can get plugged into manufacturing through Smartforce and the Student Summit. Whether you're an exhibitor, an attendee, or still on the fence, this episode is a practical roadmap for how to get the most out of IMTS — and why it matters more than ever in today's manufacturing climate.

"I grew up and I became vegetarian listening to punk albums because there was a real punk scene which talked about vegetarianism, which talked about veganism, which talked about the peace movement. And that really influenced me. And there was one record specifically by a band called, Conflict that I listened to and I went vegetarian, and that's the power of music. You know, it's not traditional advocacy. So in a way, I'm kind of paying homage to how I got into animal rights. And I want this album not to be a traditional advocacy tool." - Gemunu de Silva  For nearly four decades, Gemunu de Silva has gone where almost no one else will: inside factory farms, slaughterhouses, fur farms, laboratories, and the hidden corners of global animal industries. Gem is one of the world's most experienced undercover investigators, his work has exposed cruelty across six continents, helped shut down industries and change laws, saving millions of animals in the process. But after 37 years of investigations, he began to realize something unexpected. It wasn't only the images that stayed with him. It was the sounds. The outcry of the animals, the hum of machinery, the clatter of metal, the silence and the noise that animals are forced to live inside every day. In this conversation, Gem joins us to talk about his most unconventional project yet, Industry Standard, an album built from real recordings gathered during decades of undercover investigations. Part music, part journalism, part art, the record captures the industrial soundscape of animal exploitation in a way that no one has ever done before. It's not just an album — it's evidence. And once you hear it, you can't unhear it. Links:  https://www.tracksinvestigations.org/industrystandard https://bandcamp.com/private/P0OU3NM2   INDUSTRY STANDARD:  Advocacy and Use - Sound as a Tool for Change Industry Standard is more than an album. It is a resource for advocacy, education, and campaigning. Built on authentic field recordings from investigations, it offers a new way to engage audiences emotionally and viscerally, especially in spaces where imagery may not be possible, appropriate, or effective. This is sonic storytelling with a purpose. Each track bears witness to real places, real animals, and real suffering, but also offers a reflective space to process, feel, and act.   Ways to Use the Album Podcasts, Radio, and Media We welcome opportunities for interviews, audio features, or creative collaborations. Gemunu de Silva is available to talk about the making of the album, the field recording process, and how it connects to broader investigations and activism. Exhibitions and Installations Industry Standard can be adapted for gallery and museum settings. The tracks can be played with or without accompanying visuals. We can also provide the full eight-page insert artwork for display or digital projection. Outreach and Awareness The album can be shared at stalls, events, and festivals, either as a conversation starter or as part of a deeper listening experience. QR codes to the album and visuals can be printed on flyers, zines, or posters. Campaigning The sounds and visuals can be paired with specific investigations or issues to deepen public understanding. They are especially powerful in campaign launches, press events, or screenings. Education and Talks Use the tracks in schools, universities, or activist training settings to highlight the realities behind animal industries in a unique and memorable way. Listening together can be a powerful shared act of learning.   Get Involved If you are part of an animal group, educational body, media outlet, or cultural space and would like to use Industry Standard, please get in touch. We can help tailor the experience to your needs.
