What if uncertainty isn't a temporary problem science will eventually solve, but a fundamental feature of reality? Neuroscientist Stuart Firestein joins Michael Shermer to make the case that the universe may be far less deterministic—and the future far less predictable—than we like to imagine. Firestein and Shermer discuss chaos and complexity, Darwin and randomness, free will, scientific progress, the replication crisis, COVID and the problem of communicating uncertainty, why humans are so bad at probability, and why even enormous amounts of data can fail to predict individual people or events. Stuart Firestein is a professor of neuroscience at Columbia University and a member of the Santa Fe Institute. He has published over one hundred scientific papers in journals such as Nature, Science, Cell, and Neuron. He is a Guggenheim fellow, a member of the advisory committee for the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His new book is It Could Be Otherwise: Science in the Age of Uncertainty.

But for me, the real treat of this episode is my guest. Philip Metres is a poet, scholar, and TRANSLATOR OF ARSENY TARKOVSKY'S POETRY. That's right, the father of Andrei whose poems feature prominently in several of his films, especially including Stalker. Phil and his co-translator Dimitri Psurtsev published I Burned at the Feast: Selected Poems of Arseny Tarkovsky, an approachable volume that shows the father as an artistic force, a fact the son clearly knew. Beyond his translation work, Phil has amassed a heap of impressive accomplishments. Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts fellowships! A Pushcart Prize! He's the director of the Peace, Justice, and Human Rights program at John Carroll University! And I just happen to know him socially as a fellow Clevelander and 80s punk rock fan.

Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with the New York Academy of Art stretched back years before his crimes became publicly notorious. Epstein served on the academy's board from 1987 to 1994 and remained connected to the school as a donor and patron afterward, giving him access to an environment filled with young artists trying to establish their careers. Maria Farmer was a graduate student at the academy when she met Epstein in 1995, and she later said the school helped bring her into his orbit. According to Farmer, academy dean and board chair Eileen Guggenheim introduced her to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at her graduate exhibition and encouraged her to cultivate Epstein because he was an important benefactor. Farmer said Epstein wanted to buy one of her paintings at a reduced price and that she felt pressure from Guggenheim to accommodate him. Farmer was later among a small group of students who traveled to New Mexico, where she said Epstein, Maxwell and Guggenheim interacted with the artists at Epstein's Zorro Ranch. Epstein eventually hired Farmer as an art adviser, placing her even deeper inside his world.Farmer later accused the academy of helping create the circumstances that allowed Epstein to gain her trust and access, arguing that his status as a wealthy donor gave him credibility and influence that young artists were encouraged to respect. She said the relationship that began through the art world eventually led to her working for Epstein and, in 1996, to the circumstances in which she alleged that Epstein and Maxwell sexually assaulted her in Ohio. When Farmer publicly raised questions about the academy's role decades later, the school commissioned an outside investigation that disputed portions of her account, including some details of the New Mexico trip and her interactions with Guggenheim. The report itself caused another controversy, with students, alumni and several trustees criticizing the academy for appearing to attack Farmer's credibility rather than confronting how Epstein had been welcomed into the institution. Four female trustees, including Naomi Watts, resigned amid the fallout, and in August 2020 the academy issued what it called a “profound apology” to Farmer. The larger significance of Farmer's account was that Epstein did not encounter her randomly: she said he was introduced to her through a respected cultural institution where his money, patronage and connections gave him legitimacy and access to ambitious young people.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The LA Lakers --- a prestigious basketball franchise that didn't change hands for 46 years --- just sold twice in ten months, the second time for $2.5 billion more than the first. The seller is Mark Walter, CEO of Guggenheim, owner of the Dodgers and part of Chelsea FC, and the man whose laptop and phone the FBI seized off his private jet just as the Lakers deal was coming together. Since then, one of the insurance companies in his orbit has revised its reported related-party investments from $1.4 billion to $17 billion. Quite the rounding error. In this episode, we get into the questions everyone on the Street is suddenly asking. Why would anyone sell the crown jewel of American sports a year after fighting to buy it? What do a bunch of boring life insurance companies most people have never heard of have to do with the trophy assets of the billionaire class? Why do private equity and private credit firms keep buying insurers in the first place — and what happens to that entire model when the disclosures around "related parties" turn out to be, let's say, incomplete? And why did Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, who spent months chasing a Las Vegas expansion team, pivot to the Lakers over a single weekend? The bigger question hanging over all of it: this structure — asset managers selling their own loans to insurance companies they control — underpins a massive share of the boom in private credit. If regulators start pulling on this thread, how many other portfolios look like this one? By way of disclaimer, no charges have been filed and no wrongdoing has been established nor is implied here; our research merely summarizes reporting from Bloomberg, the FT, the WSJ, and the LA Times.

I first met Reuben Wu when I was Director of Exhibitions at FACT in Liverpool, and he was one of the coolest musicians in the city, co-founding the band Ladytron and shaping a distinctive sound that travelled around the world. Years on, he's one of the most singular photographers working anywhere - his images are held in the permanent collections of the Guggenheim, MoMA and the Met, and commissioned by Apple and National Geographic, for whom he reimagined Stonehenge as if you were seeing it for the first time. In this episode, we explore his extraordinary journey from a Liverpool kid who dreamed of becoming an artist, to an industrial designer, successful musician, and then to one of the most distinctive visual artists working today. Reuben rigs lights to drones and walks into deserts and snowstorms at night to make work no machine could ever fake - because, as he says, AI can simulate the result but never the process. And he is fierce about something most artists are frightened of: that the artist, not the gallery or the auction house, is the best person to sell and speak for their own work. If you've ever wished someone else would do the talking for you, this one's for you. Follow the show so you never miss an episode. I hope you find this as inspiring as I did. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reuben's story gleefully dismantles the myth of the straight-line creative career. Proving no experience is wasted, everything you do can and does feed into the artist you are, today. Artists are often uniquely qualified to sell their own work because nobody understands the story, the labour, the intention and the meaning behind it better than the person who made it. Breakthroughs happen when you are prepared for them - when you're ready. Luck is preparation when it meets opportunity. Being able to respond to that instinctively to those moments, creates the magic. Tap into the power of portfolio reviews. BEST MOMENTS “No experience is wasted. The industrial designer, the musician, the photographer and the artist all exist inside the work Reuben makes today.” “I call it ecstasy - it's like an ecstatic moment where you are suddenly not within yourself anymore. You are suddenly outside yourself.” “It's like a paintbrush, but with light.” “Creativity is not a destination but a practice of paying attention.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://reubenwu.com https://www.instagram.com/reuben - sign up for Reuben´s newsletter via his bio here.

“Uncertainty is what tells you that science is reliable. It's the people who are absolutely certain that you have to watch out for.” — Stuart Firestein The physician-scientist Tony Fauci is having a rough week. His newly revealed diary has even disappointed traditional allies at The Atlantic and The New Yorker who see the hitherto liberal saint of the pandemic as both too intimate with power and too certain of his scientific assumptions. Fauci's fellow American scientist, Stuart Firestein, is having a better week. The Columbia neurobiologist has a new book out today, It Could Be Otherwise, which is a manifesto against scientific certainty. It's the certain ones you have to watch out for, Firestein warns about those scientists intoxicated with the certainty of their own doctrines. Science, Firestein argues, requires a blend of hubris and humility. So the great Isaac Newton needed real chutzpah to claim to understand the mind of the creator with only a few equations. The expert is, by definition, riddled by doubt. They should be the most uncertain person in the room. Thus for Firestein, Charles Darwin is a greater scientist than Albert Einstein because Darwin's theory of life is premised on randomness. So will contemporary science appear quaintly medieval in 500 years? Will 26th century man think of Darwin and Einstein like we moderns patronize Aristotle? Probably, Firestein suggests. In his Columbia course on ignorance, he tells his students that getting an A requires getting an F. We should all be so ignorant. Five Takeaways •       Watch Out for the Certain Ones. Firestein won't defend Fauci's certainties, but he explains them: science requires a blend of hubris and humility — without some hubris, nobody would attempt a discipline that is mostly failure, mostly time spent in the dark. What corrupts the blend is a culture that demands the opposite of humility: exams with one right answer instead of ranked possibilities, journalists who need a confident quote, a public that has made science the theology of the twenty-first century. The result is Firestein's paradox of expertise: the real expert is the most uncertain person in the room, because expertise means seeing the holes, the missing data, the failures. Certainty grows with distance from knowledge.•       True Enough. Truth gets a small t only. Borrowing from the Harvard philosopher Catherine Elgin, Firestein describes science as moving from one provisional truth to the next — “true enough,” always improving, never final. His favorite proof is John Maddox, Nature's longest-serving editor, asked how many of the journal's published papers would prove wrong: “Oh, that's easy. All of them.” Not wrong-wrong — unsettled science is not unsound science; it is reliable and it will get better. In science, revision is a victory, which is why Firestein sincerely hopes that in five hundred years our best knowledge will look as quaint as medieval astronomy — which, he notes, was accurate enough for people who weren't launching satellites.•       Two Kinds of Uncertainty. Epistemic uncertainty is what we don't know yet; ontological uncertainty is the irreducible complexity of the universe itself — so complicated it might as well be random. Every answer in the lab raises ten better questions, which is how the more we know, the less we know. And yet we thrive amid the not-knowing: lasers, GPS, and randomized drug trials are all built on uncertainty. Ninety percent of hypertension diagnoses are idiopathic — no known cause — while nine different families of medicine treat it successfully. Even the brain, his own subject, isn't unknowable — we know plenty at every level — but the vertical knowledge, from ion channels to consciousness, may never reduce to a single formula. Multiple explanations, Firestein says, are not a defeat.•       Berlin, Darwin, and the Fox. The book's presiding philosopher is Isaiah Berlin, the great value pluralist: many good answers to any real question, even incommensurable ones — which is emphatically not relativism (the poststructuralists get no comfort here; we still must choose, critically and responsibly). Berlin's hedgehog and fox turn out to describe scientists too, and Firestein wants room for both. His scientific hero, though, is Darwin, whom he ranks above Einstein: the first person to show that tremendous organization and complexity can arise from essentially random events. Sixty-five million years ago, seven minutes of orbital difference and the asteroid misses. Randomness and uncertainty, properly understood, produce diversity and complexity — not chaos.•       When AI Learns to Be Uncertain. AI appears exactly once in the book, a restraint Firestein is proud of: “we hate the bomb, but we love anesthesia,” and it's the use, not the thing, that will decide. Socrates was famously against writing — it did ruin our memories, and libraries were worth it; calculators did ruin long division, and who cares. In the classroom, the smell scientist admits you can no longer smell Claude in an essay — hence his ignorance course's 999-word assignment, harder than the 5,000 words Columbia students write in their sleep. But his sharpest cut is at AI itself: the machines will be valuable to the extent that they are uncertain. When AI learns to weigh possibilities rather than issue single solutions, it will be intelligent — it will be human. A deterministic tick-tock universe is no place for discovery, imagination, or freedom. It could be otherwise. About the Guest Stuart Firestein is a professor of neuroscience at Columbia University, where his laboratory studies the sense of smell, and a member of the Santa Fe Institute. A Guggenheim fellow and elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, he is the author of Ignorance: How It Drives Science and Failure: Why Science Is So Successful, both translated into more than a dozen languages; he remains an Honorary Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, where Failure was written. His new book is It Could Be Otherwise: Science in the Age of Uncertainty (Basic Books, August 4, 2026). References: •       It Could Be Otherwise: Science in the Age of Uncertainty by Stuart Firestein (Basic Books, August 4, 2026).

Today I am honored to speak with Elizabeth Hinton and  Elsa Julien Lora about their new book, Harm and Punishment: Incarcerated Writers on Violence and the US Prison. Along with two research assistants, Lora and Hinton pored over hundreds of essays by prisoners, found in the American Prison Writing Archive.  They then selected and organized the essays found in this volume, offering illuminating introductions to each section.Our discussion moves through many topics—the brutal, dehumanizing, and punitive nature of the prison system, the damage it does to lives both inside and outside prison, and the ways prisoners find to survive and offer each other support, despite being pitted against each other. At base, we consider how we, as a society, are “addicted to violence,” and why and how it is crucial to understand that violence can only produce more violence. These essays organically blend personal observations and stories with a deep understanding of the broad, systemic nature of violence.Elizabeth Hinton is one of the nation's leading experts on the roots of mass incarceration and enduring inequality in the United States. The Class of 1954 Professor of History, Black Studies, and Law at Yale University, Hinton serves as the founding director of the Justice for Everybody Movement J4EM, a university-based center focused on promoting public safety through education, research, and coalition-building. At Harvard, she is the founding co-director (with Brandon M. Terry) of the Hutchins Center's Institute on Policing, Incarceration, and Public Safety.  Hinton's groundbreaking books—From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime and America on Fire—were each named New York Times Notable Books and have become essential texts in policy and social justice circles. A sought-after public intellectual, Hinton's commentary appears in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, New York Magazine, The Los Angeles Times and beyond. Her research has been supported by the Carnegie Corporation and the Guggenheim, Mellon, and Ford Foundations. Hinton served on the National Academies of Sciences Committee on Reducing Racial Inequalities in the Criminal Justice System and in 2022 was elected to the American Philosophical Society as one of the youngest members in its history. At J4EM, Hinton is building the infrastructure for a more just and robust democracy—where education is not a privilege, but a cornerstone of public safety.Elsa Julien Lora is a U.S. historian and interdisciplinary scholar whose research focuses on the history of American prisons and the texture and intimacy of family life. A Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Columbia University Society of Fellows, Elsa is at work on her book, Life in Prison: An Intimate History of American Punishment. Her research has been supported by the Mellon Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Institute for Citizens and Scholars, and the American Society for Legal History. Elsa's writing about race, justice, and family has appeared in the Virginia Quarterly Review, Aperture, and Public Books, and she is currently producing a documentary about her grandmother, boundary-breaking modern dancer Mary Hinkson. She holds a PhD in African and African American Studies from Harvard University and a JD from Yale Law School. 

Jayne takes the spotlight with her spin on the European trip I have weighed in on as we went. Sights, sounds, tastes, enjoyable people, and more from almost three weeks abroad. Plus good reads, more adventures ahead, and other delights. Enjoy!!

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, the US and Saudi Arabia launch joint strikes against Iran-backed groups in Iraq after a wave of attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure. We also look at Iran's missile attack on US military sites in Jordan, as well as renewed attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels. We also examine the launch of a US-UAE task force to accelerate the development of AI tools for military purposes. The move is aimed at strengthening defence capabilities and expanding joint technology development. Fifa, meanwhile, has announced plans to seek private investment in the World Cup and other major tournaments through a new company, a proposal that could raise billions of dollars for its member associations but that has already drawn strong criticism from Uefa. And Abu Dhabi's Guggenheim museum announces it will open on December 11, marking another major milestone for the emirate's Saadiyat Cultural District.

We kick things off by looking at packed community meetings over infrastructure and data centers, before tracking national debates on immigration policies, public health transparency, and the ongoing fight to secure our voting systems. From local boardrooms to the federal level, we are taking an unflinching look at how leadership decisions directly impact everyday Americans and the constitutional principles that hold this country together.Joe is joined by content creator, scientist, and free speech advocate Dr. Rich Guggenheim (@5280BasedHomo).

Artists Katherine Hubbard and Sophie Thun explore how Hubbard's work is positioned within queer feminist art and critically engages with the tradition of analogue photography. The conversation was recorded during the installation of the exhibition on 7 June 2026. Katherine Hubbard The Great Room 12.6. – 30.8.2026 How do you capture the inner life of a person whose reality no longer aligns with the outer world? And how do you remain in relation to someone who is both intimately familiar and irreversibly changing? Katherine Hubbard began her five-year project The Great Room in 2020, at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, when her mother, Antonette Berger, became increasingly unwell and the artist became her primary caretaker. It took several months in a time of anxiety and isolation until Berger was diagnosed with LATE (limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy), a form of dementia. Hubbard has described this diagnosis as both necessary and insufficient: a gesture towards control and classification that ultimately fails to grasp the lived, shifting reality of her mother's condition. It is precisely this gap that the project inhabits. More Katherine Hubbard (b. Philadelphia, PA, 1981) considers analog photography as a mimesis of the body and asks how its procedures might be called upon to investigate social politics, history, and narrative. In her photographs the positioning of one's body has an essential relationship to how one processes images, exploring this encounter as a time-based experience. Hubbard's writing practice forms the core of her performances, harnessing the malleability of vision to frame a politics of looking. Hubbard is a 2024 Guggenheim fellow in photography and received her MFA in 2010 from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College. She is Associate Professor and MFA Photography Program Director at Pratt Institute, School of Art in Brooklyn, NY. Solo exhibitions include The great room, Company Gallery, New York (2023); Avoid glancing blows, Company Gallery, New York (2020); Katherine Hubbard, Higher Pictures, New York (2018); stages, Baxter St. Camera Club of New York, New York (2017); and Bring your own lights, The Kitchen, New York (2016). Her work has been exhibited in group exhibitions including Time Management Techniques, The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Ecstatic Land, Marfa Ballroom, Texas; A Collection of Slow Events, The Luminary, St. Louis, Missouri; The Artist's Museum, The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; and Greater New York, MoMA PS1. Hubbard's performances have been presented at the Chinati Foundation, Marfa, Texas; Konstfack, Stockholm, Sweden; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Her work is included as part of the permanent collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Sophie Thun (*1985, lives and works in Vienna) works primarily with analogue photography techniques, their spaces, processes and production and exhibition conditions. Thun grew up in Warsaw and completed her master's degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in both Vienna and Krakow. Thun has been a member of the board of the Secession since 2021, where she had a solo exhibition in 2020; from 2023 to 2025 she was interim professor of the photography class at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Since 2026, she has been Professor of Artistic Photography at the Institute of Fine Arts and Media Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

Maurizio Ternavasio "Il futurismo a Torino e in Piemonte"Storia di un'avventura straordinariaNeos Edizioniwww.neosedizioni.it Il 20 febbraio 1909 è una data storica della cultura internazionale: su iniziativa del poeta Filippo Tommaso Marinetti nasce il Futurismo. L'atto è ufficialmente sancito dalla pubblicazione del relativo manifesto sul quotidiano francese “Le Figaro”.Un'avanguardia aggressiva che esaltava la velocità, l'avvento della civiltà industriale e dell'era tecnologica, l'interventismo in ogni ambito. Con la loro furia incendiaria volevano far detonare i castelli chiusi della vecchia arte e le “menti in putrefazione”, mettendo al bando quello che chiamavano “passatismo”, ossia gli stantii romanticismi, l'immobilismo, la retorica accademica e il culto delle cose antiche.Se Milano è stata la capitale culturale del Futurismo, Torino ne ha rappresentato il centro più fervido per quanto riguarda industria e tecnologia, con le sue fabbriche automobilistiche ed aeronautiche, e con il Lingotto della Fiat , “prima invenzione costruttiva futurista” (Marinetti).Maurizio Ternavasio ricostruisce la vicenda del Primo Futurismo (1909-1917) e del Secondo (1918-1939) in Piemonte, in particolare a Torino, soffermandosi non solo su letteratura, poesia, pittura e scultura, ma passando in rassegna tutti gli ambiti della nuova estetica: architettura, grafica pubblicitaria, fotografia, danza, cinema, musica, moda e anche gastronomia (in città c'erano due ristoranti: la Taverna del Santopalato e Il sollazzo gastrico).Torino ha avuto un ruolo di primissimo piano nella diffusione e nell'affermarsi del Futurismo a partire dall'8 marzo 1910, quando al Teatro Chiarella di via Principe Tommaso viene organizzata la grande “serata futurista”: la terza in assoluto dalla nascita del movimento dopo quelle di Trieste e di Milano. Nel cuore del quartiere di San Salvario si svolse un evento sovversivo e sfrontato: performance che rompevano gli schemi con, sullo sfondo, bizzarre scenografie dalle forme geometriche e colori vivaci. I giochi di ombre e luci che si accendevano e si spegnevano a sorpresa davano l'impressione che le opere pittoriche e le sculture mostrate al pubblico galleggiassero quasi nello spazio. Lì venne presentato per la prima volta il Manifesto dei pittori futuristi, firmato anche dal torinese Giacomo Balla.Altro evento fondamentale fu l'Esposizione futurista internazionale, che si tenne dal 27 marzo al 27 aprile del 1922 al Winter Club, elegante e raffinata sala da ballo negli spazi sotterranei del Caffè Romano, in Galleria Subalpina, con esposte le opere di 43 artisti – tra cui Prampolini e Depero – di tutta Italia, accomunati dal voler dipingere, con la loro tavolozza vivace ed enfatica, ciò che si pensa e non ciò che si vede.Se nel 1918 la morte di Umberto Boccioni segna la fine del Primo Futurismo, il 5 marzo del 1923 nasce, in una mansarda di via Sacchi 54, la sezione torinese del Secondo Futurismo, la cui anima guida fu Fillia (al secolo Luigi Colombo, originario di Revello, in Provincia di Cuneo), personalità eclettica e geniale, pittore, poeta, scenografo, brillante animatore culturale, critico d'arte, polemista e autore di romanzi futuristi (La morte della donna, L'ultimo sentimentale e L'uomo senza sesso), nonché ideatore di ben sette riviste tra le quali “La città futurista” e “La Città Nuova”. Intorno a sé riuscì a coagulare un gruppo di artisti, tra cui il bulgaro Nicolay Diulgheroff, lo scultore Mino Rosso (che condivideva con Fillia la soffitta dell'elegante palazzina di via Cardinal Maurizio 30), Pippo Oriani, Ugo Pozzo (le cui opere sono state esposte al Guggenheim di New York e al Pompidou di Parigi), Tullio Alpinolo Bracci (in arte Kiribiri), Farfa (Vittorio Osvaldo Tommasini) e l'architetto Alberto Sartoris. A caratterizzarli fu la capacità di sperimentare forme d'arte diverse e innovative, come l'aeropittura, la moda e l'arredamento, dedicandosi all'inizio degli anni Trenta anche alla cucina. Il Futurismo potrebbe apparire un movimento essenzialmente “maschile” ma così non fu: le donne seppero essere protagoniste e non certo secondarie. Basta pensare a Benedetta Cappa, figura chiave del Futurismo piemontese, moglie di Marinetti e artista che ha saputo interpretare con estrema originalità gli aneliti del movimento, sperimentando pittura (il Tattilismo, evoluzione multi-sensoriale del Futurismo), letteratura e scenografia, e partecipando a ben cinque edizioni della Biennale di Venezia (nel 1930 fu la prima donna ad avere un'opera pubblicata nel catalogo dell'importante rassegna). Ma non solo: Regina, al secolo Regina Cassolo Bracchi, autrice di sculture in alluminio, leggere, geometriche e “aeree”, in perfetta sintonia con il mito futurista della macchina e del volo; Barbara, ovvero la novarese Olga Biglieri, una delle prime aviatrici italiane (aveva conseguito il brevetto a soli diciotto anni dopo aver iniziato a volare all'Aeroclub di Cameri); la pittrice Maria Luisa Lurini, conosciuta con lo pseudonimo di Marisa Mori, allieva di Felice Casorati; la poetessa Térésah, ovvero Corinna Teresa Gray Ubertis, nata a Firenze da una famiglia alessandrina di Frassineto Po, importante figura della vita culturale torinese (fu anche giornalista, pittrice, autrice di teatro); Cesarina Gualino, nata Cesarina Gurgo Salice, ballerina e pittrice, moglie dell'industriale, collezionista e mecenate torinese Riccardo Gualino, la cui scuola di danza consentì di far esibire nel 1926 a Torino i Ballets Russes di Sergei Diaghilev. L'Autore dedica poi capitoli specifici ad ogni arte e ai principali protagonisti di ciascun ambito: la fotografia (i fotomontaggi di Maggiorino Gramaglia); la musica (Alfredo Casella, ricordato da una lapide sulla facciata della casa natale in via Cavour 41); il cinema (l'unico film a tutti gli effetti futurista girato e ambientato a Torino è stato “Velocità/ Vitesse”, scritto e diretto nel 1930 dal pittore Pippo Oriani, con la collaborazione del futuro sceneggiatore di fumetti Guido Martina e dell'attrice nonché pittrice Tina Cordero); la pubblicità, non solo con Diulgheroff (Cordial Campari) e Pippo Oriani (che lavorò per la Leone),  ma anche con Fedele Azari, detto “Dinamo”, aeropittore e aviatore nato a Pallanza (frazione di Verbania, allora facente parte della Provincia di Novara), che sperimentò il volantinaggio aereo (nel maggio 1920 inondò Milano, Torino e Genova con dei manifestini della Fiera campionaria internazionale, sorvolando le città a bordo di un dirigibile).Il 29 febbraio 1920 sul giornale “Roma Futurista” venne pubblicato il Manifesto della moda femminile futurista, firmato da Volt5 (Vincenzo Fani), che intendeva bandire tutto ciò che poteva essere riconducibile alla pura femminilità, inserendo capi tipicamente maschili come la giacca, i cappelli o la cravatta. In conformità alla dichiarazione di Balla, secondo il quale «si pensa e si agisce come si veste», i futuristi rigettavano le vecchie convenzioni sartoriali, optando per abiti anti-borghesi, aggressivi ed eccentrici («Idealizzeremo nella donna le conquiste più affascinanti della vita moderna (...). Faremo dei decolletés a zig-zag, maniche diverse l'una dall'altra, scarpe di forma, colore e altezza differenti»). In ambito maschile, furono lo scrittore Ignazio Scurto e lo scultore e pittore Renato Di Bosso a ideare la cravatta futurista, un grembiulino di metallo appeso ai becchetti della camicia.Il 28 dicembre 1930 sempre Marinetti firma sulla “Gazzetta del Popolo”, insieme a Fillia, il Manifesto della cucina futurista. Dagli stravaganti menù futuristi la pastasciutta è bandita, in quanto vivanda passatista, mentre vengono serviti antipasti intuitivi, aerovivande tattili con rumori e odori, Carne-plastico, Ultravirile, Pollofiat, Dolcelastico…Famoso il banchetto futurista che si tenne l'8 marzo 1931 alla Taverna del Santopalato, in via Vanchiglia 2, ad un passo da Piazza Vittorio. Il menù fu realizzato a mano da Depero, Fillia, Ugo Pozzo, Prampolini, Balla e Oriani, gli arredi color rosso vivo vennero ideati dalla coppia Fillia-Diulgheroff. Oggi al suo posto c'è la Trattoria Toscana, che all'interno conserva gelosamente la riproduzione del menù futurista della serata d'apertura.Maurizio Ternavasio, giornalista professionista che ha lavorato per quindici anni a “La Stampa”, è nato a Torino nel 1961 e abita nel quartiere Borgo Po.

Matthew Kirschenbaum delivered Rare Book School's 2026 Sol M. and Mary Ann O'Brian Malkin Endowed Lecture, "From text to .txt: Making Material Messes in a Sloppy World," on 6 July 2026. About the Talk: By the turn of the millennium, the word “text” had become a verb. Three-and-a-half years ago, ChatGPT was released into the wild, decisively severing the link between writing and human expression. In 2025, Merriam-Webster's word of the year was “slop.” This talk will offer an attenuated archaeology of what someone we know once called the textual condition. And not to give away the game, but that condition is not good: today, text functions as something much more like a fossil fuel or other extractable resource than a medium for communication and expression. Nonetheless, the talk also asks how we can still make some good old fashioned material messes in a world of slop. Examples will be provided. Refreshments will be served. There may even be a book or two. About the Speaker: Matthew Kirschenbaum rejoined UVA in 2025 as Commonwealth Professor of Artificial Intelligence and English after 25 years at the University of Maryland, where he finished as a Distinguished University Professor. He considers himself a student of texts and textual technologies in all their social and material forms, and his scholarship and teaching have explored literary intersects with printing and bookmaking, archival science, media archaeology, digital humanities, and now artificial intelligence. He is the author of three books, most recently Bitstreams: The Future of Digital Literary Heritage from the University of Pennsylvania Press (2021). His first book, Mechanisms: New Media and the Forensic Imagination (2008) was the winner of multiple awards, including the MLA Prize for a First Book. Track Changes: A Literary History of Word Processing (2016) enjoyed widespread public media attention. Recent articles have appeared in PMLA, Critical Inquiry, and ELH; and he frequently writes for popular outlets, which have included the Atlantic, the Washington Post, Slate, Los Angeles Review of Books, Public Books, and the Chronicle of Higher Education. Kirschenbaum is an active member of the Modern Language Association's task force on AI in Research and Teaching, and a member of the teaching faculty at Rare Book School. He has been a Guggenheim and an NEH Fellow, and is a practicing letterpress printer. Current projects includes two books, the first on the political economy of text in the present moment and the second on the weaponization of AI in what some have called a full-blown epistemic crisis.

Can the work outlive the man enough to forgive him? Frank Lloyd Wright designed the homes that quietly shaped how millions of Americans live — and he was, by nearly every account, a genuinely difficult person to love. David (Black Sheep Makery, Big Dudu, Dudetunes) joins me to trace Wright's life from a childhood box of wooden blocks to Fallingwater, the Guggenheim, and a tragedy at his own home that killed seven people. We use his story to ask a bigger question: when the art is this good, does the artist's life even matter — and where do we draw that line today?

This is the All Local morning update for July 11th, 2026.

Cuban performance and conceptual artist Tania Bruguera talks to John Wilson about her career and cultural influences. Her work explores freedom of speech, political oppression and social justice, often encouraging her audiences to become active participants in her performances, blurring the boundaries between art and viewer. Bruguera has exhibited at international museums including MOMA and the Guggenheim in New York, and at Tate Modern, where she made a major work for annual Turbine Hall commission. A new artwork of hers was in the inaugural exhibition at V&A East. Throughout her career in her homeland, Tania Bruguera has been repeatedly censored, arrested and detained by the Cuban authorities because of her political activism. She now lives in the US where she is senior lecturer at Harvard University. Producer: Edwina Pitman

In this episode, Britten is joined once again by Mariola Rosario for a conversation on channeled art, art history, mysticism, and the exciting timing of two major Paris exhibitions devoted to Hilma af Klint and Leonora Carrington.  Topics They Cover: Mariola's early relationship with art, magical realism, the Caribbean, and the figure of the artist as someone who can conjure new realities. Britten's path through art history, grief, Paris, Symbolist art, atomic science, and the study of what cannot be seen with the naked eye. Hilma af Klint, the 2018 Guggenheim retrospective, and the "aperture" that seems to have opened around channeled artists and women whose work has long been omitted or minimized. The role of spirit guides, collaboration, and unseen forces in Hilma's work, including the way her paintings are now being described with more respect for the mystical context they came through. Leonora Carrington, surrealism, exile, the psychic world, and the women artists who were often placed at the margins of movements they helped shape. Mariola's upcoming Leo season class on self-portraiture, authorship, symbols, and the solar invitation to put the self onto the page. At the center of the conversation is the sense that we are in a moment of aperture: an opening that allows us to receive these artists so fully. Britten and Mariola speak to the hunger to know these women and their work, the importance of asking what has been omitted, and the creative partnerships that happen with both real humans and the invisible forces moving through the channel.   Join Us In Paris: Britten LaRue and Mariola Rosario invite you to an in-person gathering in Paris. Moment of Aperture: On channeled art and gnosis with Leonora Carrington and Hilma af Klint. We're thrilled you are able to join us on Sunday, July 19, from 11:30-1 (please note the time change from what is named in the episode). The first part of our meetup will be a discussion. The second half will be more of a ritual. The exchange is 40 Euros.

She explores visual and material culture in relation to terrestrial and celestial practices and mythologies, tracing how images, objects, and language shape cultural memory, origins, and political imaginaries. She is currently launching Studio Solar, a creative research studio dedicated to seasonal astrological inquiry through art, symbols, and visual culture. Its first offering, Inventing the Self: Self-Portraiture & Solar Mythic Imagination with Leonor Fini & Leonora Carrington, begins on July 22 as a three-part course held during Leo season that draws on the work of Fini and Carrington as a starting point for conversations on 'the solar', self-portraiture, personal mythology, artistic practice, art making, and the creative imagination. Mariola writes on Substack at Las Flores del Mar, where she shares reflections on myth, art, monstrosity, astrology, politics, and the magic of language. Paid subscribers are also invited to join the Radical Book Club for Underworld Readers, a lively and generative collective devoted to reading critical texts together.  On most days, she can be found wandering the streets of Paris, following images and stories wherever they lead.... convinced that walking is one of the oldest forms of research.

Photographers Jarod Lew and Reagan Louie join PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf to discuss how they explore cultural identity, personal loss, and trauma through photography. Lew and Louie are Asian American photographers from different generations, and their work reflects how the exploration of cultural identity in contemporary photography has evolved over the decades. While Louie takes a documentary photography approach, Lew works through more conceptual constructs. Their conversation with Wolf highlights the visual differences between their practices while revealing striking resonances in how they discuss their approach. https://www.jarodlew.com https://www.reaganlouie.com Jarod Lew is an artist who draws on photography to explore intergenerational encounters with diasporic loss, displacement, and postmemory. Through this exploration, his work contends with the performativity of race and its instability as a locus of meaning. His project, Please Take Off Your Shoes was shortlisted for the Aperture Portfolio Prize in 2021, and was exhibited in a group exhibition at SFMOMA titled Kinship: Photography and Connection in 2023. His other project, In Between You and Your Shadow, examines his relationship with his mother, who was the fiancé of Vincent Chin--the subject of a hate-crime that brought national attention to matters of Asian American civil rights. In 2025, Lew will mount his first museum exhibition at the University of Michigan Museum of Art titled- Strange You Never Knew.  His works are held in public and private collections including the Cantor Art Center, Detroit Institute of Arts, Kadist, San Francisco, Harvard Art Museum, University of Michigan Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Lew's work has been written about in Aperture, Artforum, Elephant Magazine, and Aesthetica Magazine. Lew graduated with an MFA in photography at the Yale School of Art. Reagan Louie's photography and installations explore global transformation and cultural identity. He is currently at work on several projects that focus on the relationship between home and homeland; including a book about his family's immigration from China to America. And a Virtual Reality experience about his ancestral home, Wing Wor. His work is exhibited at institutions: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Modern Art NY, Philadelphia Art Museum, Fotomuseum Winterthur, Gwangju Biennale. Louie's photographs are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Modern Art NY, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Oakland Museum, Cantor Art Museum. Louie's photographs are widely published. His books have received critical acclaim. The New York Times Book Review named his first book on China, “Toward a Truer Life”, the photography book of the year. He is the recipient of numerous awards - The Guggenheim fellowship, National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, Lange-Taylor Prize, and Fulbright Fellowship.

THE SUPREME COURT SAYS NO TO BIOLOGICAL BOYS IN GIRLS SPORTS! This is such a HUGE win for girls. I’ll have more when more comes out. Rich Guggenheim joins me at 1 tgo talk about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eileen Guggenheim, a former aide to then-Prince Charles and now leading the New York Academy of Art, emphatically denied any role in facilitating an introduction between Charles and Jeffrey Epstein. Her statement came in response to recurring tabloid insinuations suggesting that she had served as the conduit linking the future king to the disgraced financier. Her denial was swift and pointed: simply put, she had no involvement in bringing the two into contact.Yet this sort of sweeping, “nothing to see here” denial has become almost a reflex among those who orbited Epstein — a well-rehearsed performance of indignation that sidesteps the deeper questions. Guggenheim can insist she never introduced Charles to Epstein, but the problem is that these denials are often delivered in a vacuum, without transparency, documentation, or a willingness to open the books. In the Epstein ecosystem, too many people have tried to firewall their reputations with carefully worded statements, betting that the press won't dig past the headline. Whether her claim is true or not, it lands in the same well-worn pattern: elite figures distancing themselves from Epstein only when their names surface, and offering little more than their own word as proof.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8652923/Prince-Charles-former-aide-denies-introducing-student-Jeffrey-Epstein.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

John Demjanjuk lived for decades as a retired autoworker in suburban Cleveland. Then investigators accused him of being "Ivan the Terrible," one of the most notorious guards at Treblinka. What followed was one of the strangest and most troubling Nazi war-crimes cases of the postwar era: extradition, eyewitness testimony, a death sentence, a reversal, and a final prosecution many years later. In this episode, Michael Shermer talks with Lawrence Douglas, professor at Amherst College and author of The Criminal State: War Atrocity and the Dream of International Justice, about Demjanjuk, Eichmann, Nuremberg, Holocaust denial, and the problem of proving atrocities decades after they happened. How reliable is eyewitness memory after 40 or 50 years? What did Nuremberg actually establish? Was Eichmann really just a bureaucrat? And can a courtroom ever deliver justice for crimes almost too large to comprehend? Lawrence Douglas is the James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought at Amherst College and a Guggenheim fellow. His many books include The Right Wrong Man and The Memory of Judgment. His writing has appeared in leading publications such as Harper's, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. His new book is The Criminal State: War Atrocity and the Dream of International Justice.

Pop art and New York share a special relationship. The Guggenheim was particularly important to the evolution of the genre in the city, when a British curator organized the first museum presentation of Pop art in New York in 1963. This summer, the Guggenheim is exploring the Pop art in its collection with a new exhibit, Guggenheim Pop: 1960 to Now, featuring the work of 29 artists who engaged in Pop art, from the past to the present. Guggenheim curator Lauren Hinkson discusses the show and the unique artistic signatures of Pop. Image Courtesy of the artist and Perrotin: Maurizio Cattelan,Comedian, 2019.

Maddie McGarvey: A 15‑Year Photojournalism Journey in Appalachia What emerging photographers can learn from a long‑form documentary that went from a college grant to the New York Times. “The camera was an excuse to talk to people. It let a shy kid step out of his own way and into other lives.”– Maddie McGarvey

Alaska is a land brimming with natural resources, including gold, silver, copper, coal, oil, salmon, and crab. Still, too often, outsiders have plundered these resources, enriching themselves and leaving Alaska and Alaskans with little to show for it. Alaska has had a “boom and bust” economy since the early 1900s, and no place exemplifies this economy better than Valdez. The aggressive Alaska Syndicate was formed in 1906 with backing from J.P. Morgan and the Guggenheim family, and its initial goal was to mine copper. However, soon the syndicate wanted all Alaska had to offer, including gold, coal, and salmon. It also fought to control rail and sea transportation in Alaska, and with powerful government connections and unlimited funds, it mostly got what it wanted. It needed a railroad to transport copper from its remote Kennecott mines to the ocean, then steamships to ferry it to southern ports. The syndicate chose to construct rail tracks from Kennecott to Cordova, and when rival builders began constructing a railroad from Valdez to Alaska's interior, a violent confrontation erupted, culminating in a shootout in Keystone Canyon.

Episode 304 reunites The Analysts — Remarkable Retail's celebrated panel of Forrester's Sucharita Kodali, Guggenheim's Simeon Siegel, and GlobalData's Neil Saunders — to take stock of retail coming out of earnings season. Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc open on the paradox of 2026: results are largely strong, sentiment is dismal. Simeon argues the link between the two is "tenuous at best" — people talk one way and spend another. Neil has the data: roughly 60% of shoppers who expect the economy to worsen still spent more than a year ago, propped up by spring tax refunds that won't repeat. Then the K-shaped economy. Higher-income households drive most of the real volume growth; middle-income shoppers prop up value growth mainly because prices are higher. Sucharita revisits "peak ambiguity" and the "vibe session," noting record sales barely outrun stubborn inflation. The panel unpacks the standouts — Ross's 17% comp, Victoria's Secret up 15% — and debates GLP-1's role in surging apparel and beauty: wardrobe replacement, new confidence, trading up to statement pieces. On turnarounds, Simeon lands the episode's sharpest thesis: brands "ubiquitize" and peak around $3–4 billion in the US. Lululemon got too big, over-distributed, and over-earning — so the bad sales have to "walk out the door" before the brand can re-elevate, the same lens that frames Nike's long reset. He and Sucharita draw the Gap parallel ahead of Simeon's on-stage interview with Mickey Drexler, noting Old Navy now dwarfs Gap itself. Neil makes the case for Macy's under Tony Spring — basics fixed first, satisfaction and visitation improving — while Steve stays skeptical of the pace. Next, the DTC reckoning. Simeon reframes his old "DTC is not all it's cracked up to be" call as "anti-anti-wholesale": outside high-margin luxury, nearly every brand needs a healthy wholesale business — and stores remain the best channel because "the customer is your employee." Sucharita pushes back on the AI narrative, reminding everyone it's far more than generative hype, as the panel digs into why scaled players — Amazon, Walmart, Costco, off-price — keep compounding through retail media, marketplaces, and flywheel economics. It closes on the wealth effect, trillion-dollar market caps, and whether a market correction could rattle high-end spending — then rapid-fire hot takes: brands to watch (Cozey, Ross Stores, Goyard) and what's on each analyst's radar, from inflation and surging oil prices to a quiet "middle of the doughnut" news lull and an election year's hunt for stability.

In this new episode, Patrick Hogarty fills in for Joe and exposes a nation spinning out of control, delivering a raw, unfiltered look at a system that feels completely turned upside down. From delayed ballot counting and the eroding integrity of our elections to the weaponization of radical movements targeting local, faith-based small businesses right here in Denver, Patrick connects the dots on how global and partisan interests are systematically being prioritized over everyday citizens. With hard-hitting breakdowns on the deliberate handling of the southern border and a shocking look at policies stripping away parental rights across the country, this episode is a rallying cry for common sense, accountability, and the defense of American communities before they are fractured beyond repair.Joining the conversation is Rich Guggenheim, a native Coloradan, peer-reviewed scientist, and Republican candidate for Colorado State Senate District 25. Known to his massive online following as a fearless conservative voice, Rich brings a uniquely pragmatic perspective to the fight against institutional overreach. Having successfully sued the state legislature in federal court over free speech censorship and stepped forward as a federal whistleblower, Rich details exactly how he plans to take his personal battle against the political establishment straight to the State Capitol to restore balance to a state currently dominated by one-party control.Together, Patrick and Rich dive deep into the pressing issues facing Colorado families, from skyrocketing property taxes and the defense of the state's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) to pulling ideological experiments out of public school classrooms. They explore how to bridge political divides, protect parental rights, and advocate for balanced, scientifically sound energy policies that keep utility bills low and the grid reliable. This is not just a standard political breakdown—it is an essential, front-line conversation for anyone ready to stand up, confront the machine, and demand a return to law, order, and sanity.
