Podcast appearances and mentions of Jeffrey Deitch

Stephanie H. Shih in the studio, Brooklyn, NY, 2025. Photo: Robert Bredvad Stephanie H. Shih (b. 1986, Philadelphia, PA) renders outdated consumer goods as trompe l'oeil sculptures that reveal the tensions within American domestic life. Turning everyday items—a Thighmaster, a self-help book, many pantries' worth of condiments—into intricately painted ceramic objects transforms each into a permanent artifact. Seen together, the works play with notions of timelessness and obsolescence, nostalgia and disillusionment. Shih has exhibited work at James Cohan, New York, NY; Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles, CA; Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco, CA; Alexander Berggruen, New York, NY; Cantor Arts Center, Stanford, CA; Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley, CA; Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, CA; Bradbury Art Museum, Jonesboro, AR; and the American Museum of Ceramic Arts, Pomona, CA. The artist has also been the recipient of numerous awards and residencies including the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship, New York, NY; residency at The Corporation of Yaddo, Saratoga Springs, NY as well as many others. Community work is central to Shih's practice, and since 2017, she has used her art and platform to raise over half a million dollars in direct aid for victims of state violence. Want to help?

The inevitability of change is something we can either fear or embrace with insatiable curiosity, and one of them, of course, yields far better results than the other. Today's guest is a serial entrepreneur and self-described "forever intern" who co-founded Basic.Space, which later acquired Design Miami, where he now serves as chairman. Up next is Design.Space, a project that explores the power of quality curation within an IRL/URL retail experience while bringing together the worlds of design, art, and fashion. In a culture where the concept of community has been co-opted by big business and marketing teams, Jesse Lee shares a different approach that, for this conversation, we'll call a club. Whether or not you're familiar with the burgeoning world of design and its evolving role in communicating status the way a highly coveted watch or luxury fashion once did, Jesse's mindset is one to emulate. His perspective is especially valuable for those seeking their own point of convergence where passion and purpose meet in a way that is both meaningful and profitable. "It's not just about the work ethic, but also about wanting to learn. If it wasn't for that mindset, I don't think I'd be able to learn from music, fashion, technology, art, design, culinary—whatever it is. That's sort of been the mantra since day one." - Jesse Lee  Design.Space will showcase a curated selection of archival and contemporary pieces from top artists, designers, galleries, and brands, including: Alexander May, AMEN, Archived, Avery Wheless, Brett Robinson, Brian Thoreen, Cadogan Tate, David Kelley, Enorme, Ettore Sottsass, Found Objects, George Davies, GUFRAM, Guido, Jahlil Nzinga, Jean Pigozzi, Jeffrey Deitch, Jess Hannah, Jeaux de Peau by Purienne, Justin Reed, Keiko Moriuchi, Laura Sattin, Leyla Fisher, Lily Clark, Marcin Rusak, Marquel Williams, Marta, Max Lamb, Memphis, Meritalia, Michelle Jane Lee, niceworkshop, Nick Thomm, Nike, NM3, NO GA, Paulin Paulin Paulin, Period Correct, Puck, Raiffe Glass, Roham Shamekh, Sabine Marcelis, Sam Klemick, Same Old/BASA Vintage, Sasha December, Spaceless Gallery, Stephanie Ketty, Stickymonger, Studio Ker, The Future Perfect, The Pink Lemonade, Tokio., Tristan Marsh, Tsu Lange Yor, USM, Verre d'Onge, Wexler Gallery, Willo Perron, Yung Jake & more to be announced soon. Episode Highlights: Jesse Lee's Journey from Intern to Industry Leader – How his relentless curiosity and willingness to do any job led to his success in music, fashion, and design. The Birth of Basic.Space – Why Jesse created Basic.Space as a curated platform for creatives, and how it evolved into an ecosystem connecting sellers, collectors, and brands. The Acquisition of Design Miami – The strategic move behind Basic.Space acquiring Design Miami, and how the two entities complement each other. The Concept Behind Design.Space – How Jesse is bridging digital and physical retail by creating a hybrid shopping experience that blends the best of Basic.Space and Design Miami. The Shift from Fashion to Design – Why luxury consumers are now more interested in furniture, objects, and design than traditional status-driven fashion. The Strategy Behind Invitation-Only Shopping – Why Basic.Space is moving to a membership-based model and limiting access to its most engaged customers. Curation as the Key to Modern Luxury – How brands and platforms must focus on thoughtful selection rather than mass availability to stay relevant. The Role of Physical Events in a Digital World – Why Jesse believes creating real-world moments is critical, and how Design.Space will redefine the shopping experience. The Importance of Intersectionality in Business – Jesse's belief that success comes from mastering multiple industries—fashion, music, technology, art, and design—rather than specializing in just one. Why Push Marketing Is Over – Jesse's philosophy that the best brands don't chase customers but create experiences that naturally pull the right people in. Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode we are thrilled to be talking with the incredible artist Nadya Tolokonnikova. Nadya is the creator of Pussy Riot, a global feminist art movement. In 2012 she was sentenced to 2 years' imprisonment following an anti-Putin performance Punk Prayer. Punk Prayer was named by The Guardian among the ‘best art pieces of the 21st century'. Tolokonnikova's Putin's Ashes art installation at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in January 2023 propelled her into a new criminal case and put on Russia's most wanted criminal list. On June 21st, 2024 her debut museum exhibition RAGE, opened at OK Linz, Linz, Austria, and shortly after she performed the piece at the Neue Nationalgalerie on July 4.  Tolokonnikova's work is held in the permanent collections of The Brooklyn Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, Museum of Art and Design, and American Folk Art Museum, among others. Some artists discussed in this episode: Dmitri Prigov Judy Chicago Guerrilla Girls You can read more about Nadya's show with Jeffrey Deitch in Los Angeles here: https://deitch.com/los-angeles/exhibitions/pussy-riot-putin-s-ashes For images, artworks, and more behind the scenes goodness, follow @artfromtheoutsidepodcast on Instagram!

Ep.210 For Gerald Lovell (b. 1992), painting is an act of biography. Combining flat and impressionistic painting with thick daubs of impasto, Lovell's monumental portraits depict loving scenes often lost to the abyss of memory. Lovell's portraits refuse the notion that all Black figures put down on canvas are somehow political. Rather, his work records a deep commitment to fostering alternative community narratives by imbuing his subjects with social agency and self determinative power, while also revealing individualistic details that lay their essential humanity bare. Born in Chicago to Puerto Rican and Black parents, Lovell began painting at the age of 22 after dropping out of the graphic design program at the University of West Georgia. He has exhibited at P·P·O·W, New York; Jeffrey Deitch, Moore Building, Miami, FL; Anthony Gallery, Chicago, IL; Kohn Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture, Charlotte, NC; MINT, Atlanta, GA; and Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zurich, Switzerland, among others. In 2022, Lovell's work was on view in What is Left Unspoken, Love at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA, and is in the museum's permanent collection. Lovell completed the Fountainhead Artists Residency in October 2023. His second exhibition with P·P·O·W, verde, was held in Spring 2024. Portrait ~ Courtesy of Fountainhead, Miami.

A conversation with the iconic Jeffrey Deitch regarding an exciting 2022 exhibition at Deitch's Los Angeles gallery that has been synthesized into a new book titled "Luncheons on the Grass," available now from Rizzoli Electa. The innovative exhibition revisited and reimagined Édouard Manet's seminal work, Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, a painting that shocked the 1863 Parisian art scene and is often heralded as the first modern painting. Our conversation explores how Deitch convinced over thirty of today's most acclaimed painters (including Cecily Brown, Jeff Koons and Christina Quarles) to respond to Manet's painting by creating works that dialogue with this historic piece, each bringing contemporary perspectives to themes of modernism, realism, and societal depiction. The result not only reconsiders Manet's impact on modern art but also examines the intersections of historical reverence and contemporary creativity. Jeffrey and I are also joined for the conversation by Viola Angiolini, Director of Research and Curatorial Projects at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery.https://www.rizzoliusa.com/book/9780847899876/https://deitch.com/los-angeles/exhibitions/luncheon-on-the-grass

It has been 17 years since James Fuentes first hung a shingle out under his own name. In the years since, he has carved out a unique position in the contemporary art world, representing an eclectic mix of older, sometimes overlooked artists, alongside younger, buzzier names. Prior to striking out on his own, Fuentes worked for a handful of high-profile gallerists, including Jeffrey Deitch, whose eye he first caught with an ambitious pitch for a reality television show about artists, an idea that was way ahead of its time, considering it was the early aughts. Fuentes has long been a mainstay of the Lower East Side, which happens to be the same area where he grew up. Between his first smaller gallery on the appropriately named St James Place, and later at a larger location on Delancey Street, he has watched neighborhood undergo seismic shifts. Amid all of the changes, he still regards the Lower East Side as a thriving and incredibly diverse place to live and work. Last year, Fuentes joined the ranks of East Coast dealers heading out West to open a gallery in the burgeoning art scene of Los Angeles. Just as he is set to mark the one year anniversary on Melrose Avenue, another major change is underway: a big move across town in Manhattan to the new gallery hub of Tribeca, into a 3,000-square-foot, ground-floor space on White Street. This week on the podcast, senior reporter Eileen Kinsella caught up with Fuentes to talk about growing up in New York City during the heyday of hip hop and graffiti art, and his unique approach to the art business, alongside the broader growth and changes in the art world at large.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is one of the most groundbreaking artists working today, Karon Davis. Hailed for her life-size sculptures, that she covers in white plaster dust and bases on her own or friend's bodies, Davis's works often take the form of installations, that very powerfully explore vital narratives of current and historical political events, as well as speak to the history of dance and performance. While they speak on a universal level, Davis especially looks to issues of history, race and violence in the US, memorialising key injustices witnessed by innocent victims from the 20th century, and beyond. By executing her figures in a stark shade of white, she also speaks to Western beauty ideals and standards that have been entrenched in our society since classical times. Brought up by a family of performers, Davis was exposed to the arts at a young age, the excitement of entertainment but also the reality of what people with these careers go through. And it's this insight that she gives us in her work – showing us both the pain and ecstasy to make something deemed beautiful, as her mother said, which was the title for her recent Salon 94 show: Beauty Must Suffer. Although a trained ballerina in her youth, Davis turned to filmmaking, studying at Spellman College, but her love of performance has stayed with her in her work. Entering an exhibition by Davis is like stepping into another world akin to watching a film or ballet playing out in front of you: there's narrative, costume, drama, a beginning and an end, but also beauty and pain. In 2012 Davis, along with her late husband Noah, founded the Underground Museum in Los Angeles, a groundbreaking space that featured the work of Black artists. And, most recently, Davis' work has been featured at the Hammer Museum, Jeffrey Deitch, Salon 94, and is in the collection of MOCA Los Angeles, LACMA, The Hammer Museum, and the Brooklyn Museum, among others. For those in New York, she has just installed a major sculpture on the High Line, of a ballerina taking her final bow, in conjunction with her exhibition that looked at the process of ballet, as well as the passion and resilience integral to life as a dancer, and artist. -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.instagram.com/famm.mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 ENJOY!!!

As her new series for the BBC, Africa Rising, takes Afua Hirsch to Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa, we talk to her about the artists and art scenes she encountered and what she took away from her experiences. The Liverpool Biennial's latest edition opened last weekend and has a South African curator, Khanyisile Mbongwa, and an IsiZulu title, uMoya: The Sacred Return of Lost Things. The Art Newspaper's contemporary art correspondent, Louisa Buck, visited the biennial and reviews it for us. And it is Art Basel this week, in its original Swiss location, so this episode's Work of the Week is one of the most notable works for sale at the fair. Valentine was painted by Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1984 and given to his then girlfriend, Paige Powell, on Valentine's Day. Jeffrey Deitch, who is selling the work at Art Basel, tells us its story.Africa Rising: Morocco is on the BBC iPlayer now. The Nigeria episode is on BBC Two on 20 June at 9pm for UK viewers and on BBC iPlayer, and South Africa is broadcast on BBC Two at 27 June at 9pm. For listeners outside the UK, check your local listings.Liverpool Biennial, uMoya: The Sacred Return of Lost Things, until 17 September.Art Basel, until 18 June; Jean-Michel Basquiat: the Modena Paintings, Beyeler Foundation, Basel, until 27 August.

If you're scared or sad about our warming planet, the best solution is to solve the climate crisis. But in the meantime, sharing feelings can help you cope. At this weekend's Garagiste Festival, upstart micro producer winemakers from across California are coming together to share their wares. Artist Faith Ringgold, age 92, has created oil paintings, sculpture, quilts, and more. Her work is on display at the Jeffrey Deitch gallery.

Jeffrey Deitch has been a prominent player in contemporary art for over fifty years. Born in 1952 and raised in Hartford, Connecticut, Deitch went on to study at Wesleyan University, turning his primary attention from economics to art history. As a college student, he opened his first gallery in 1972 in Lenox, Massachusetts. In 1978 Deitch received his MBA from Harvard Business School, where he authored his thesis on Andy Warhol as a business artist and sought to find synergy between aesthetics and economics. Such interest led him to Citibank, where he developed the art consultation division, the first professionally organized art advisory service attached to an international financial institution. Deitch has also contributed significantly to art criticism, becoming a regular columnist of Flash Art in 1980 and having his work published in Artforum, Garage, Interview magazine, and Paper magazine. In 1996, Deitch opened the Deitch Projects gallery in Soho, with shows including works from Vanessa Beecroft, Nari Ward, and Mariko Mori. Deitch has made a resounding impact on the art scene of Southern California. In 2010 he received the honor of being named the director of MOCA, relocating from New York to Los Angeles. As an early advocate of graffiti art in the 1980s, his first curated show, "Art in the Street," sold over 200,000 tickets- more than any previous show in MOCA history. In 2018 he opened a 15,000-square-foot space in Hollywood designed by Frank Gehry, where he presents museum-level exhibitions in a gallery setting. Further, in 2020, Deitch created the Gallery Association Los Angeles (GALA for short) to generate excitement about the LA gallery scene. He has also launched galleryplatform.la, an online program that serves the dynamic Los Angeles arts community with editorial content and rotating online viewing rooms. Deitch continues to operate galleries in New York and Los Angeles while advising private art collectors and institutions. As his number of shows, exhibition spaces, and artists exhibited surpass any art dealer in history, he has crafted a unique role that merges his curatorial profile with the business side of art. He and Zuckerman spoke about a daily practice of looking at art, the physicality of looking, feeling objects, time with artists, seeking communities, running an art museum and why “All Surface. No Structure.” matters!

Born in Norilsk, an industrial Siberian town inside the Arctic Circle, Nadya Tolokonnikova was just 18 when she moved to Moscow and became a founding member of the Russian street art and performance art collective Voina in 2007. It was her strong feminist leanings that then inspired her to cofound Pussy Riot, known for playing incendiary highly political punk music while wearing balaclava head coverings. The group rose to fame following a now legendary 2012 performance of the song “Punk Prayer,” at Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior, when Tolokonnikova and two other Pussy Riot members were arrested and then convicted of “hooliganism.” She spent close to two years incarcerated in a brutal labor camp in Mordovia, Russia. But her time behind bars has not deterred Tolokonnikova from continuing to act as an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin, or from leveraging the power of art in the name of activism. This week marks the opening of her first ever gallery exhibition for Pussy Riot, held at Jeffrey Deitch in Los Angeles. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the new performance Putin's Ashes, in which Tolokonnikova leads a coven of women in a witch-like ritual to drive the Russian president from power, burning a giant portrait of Putin to the ground in the process. Ahead of the show's opening, Artnet News senior reporter Sarah Cascone spoke to Tolokonnikova about the challenges of presenting conceptual performance art in a white cube gallery, and how she continues to remain optimistic about political change in her native country despite the ongoing invasion of Ukraine and her continued persecution at the hands of the Russian government, which in December 2021 labeled her a “foreign agent.”

Ben Luke talks to the Canadian-Korean artist Zadie Xa about her influences—from the worlds of literature, film, music and, of course, art—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Xa was born in 1983 in Vancouver, Canada, and is now based in London. She explores folklore and speculative fiction, familial and collective histories, diasporic identity and the climate emergency through painting, sculpture, film and performance, often brought together in fantastical installations. She talks about artists from Hieronymus Bosch to Kara Walker; her interest in Korean folk art and folk tales; how she returns to the science fiction novels of Ursula K. Le Guin and Octavia E. Butler; and the early and ongoing influence of hip hop and rappers like Cam'ron. Plus, she gives insight into her life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Zadie Xa: House Gods, Animal Guides and Five Ways 2 Forgiveness, Whitechapel Gallery, London, 20 September-May 2023; Hospital Rooms: Like there is hope and I can dream of another world, Hauser & Wirth, London, 19 August-14 September; Wonder Women, Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles, 3 September-22 October; Soy Dreams of Milk, Blindspot Gallery, Hong Kong, from 10 September; The New Bend, curated by Legacy Russell, Hauser & Wirth, Los Angeles, 27 October-30 December; The Horror Show: a Twisted Tale of Modern Britain, Somerset House Studios, London, 27 October-19 February 2023; Jeju Biennale, Jeju Island, South Korea, 16 November-12 February 2023 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ep.116 features Cameroon-born artist Ludovic Nkoth. For him, displacement and deferral occupy a familiar place at the margins of the stories he tells. With swirled and meandering brushstrokes, Nkoth's practice in figurative painting broaches the ongoing negotiation of transatlantic migration--a direct rumination on diaspora history and on his own expatriation to the US at the age of 13. Melding Cameroonian aesthetic motifs and vivid coloration with postcolonial allegory, Nkoth explores the formation and fragmentation of identity. Throughout his work, Nkoth's figures participate in the fictions and lived experiences that comprise his own identity synthesis; each muddled expression and porous boundary imbues his paintings with the tender incandescence of a distant memory. The navigation of both belonging and outsider hood in African and American spaces underscores much of Nkoth's work, and informs the future building of kinship, solidarity, and self-determination that is central to his practice. Ludovic Nkoth was born in Yaoundé, Cameroon in 1994, and lives and works in New York City. Nkoth completed his BFA at the University of South Carolina and holds an MFA in painting from Hunter College. Recent solo exhibitions include Transferred Memories (Work No Dey) (2022) at Massimo de Carlo Gallery in London, and Don't Take This Too (2021) at François Ghebaly in Los Angeles. Nkoth was featured in the group exhibition Fire, Figure Fantasy (2022) at ICA Museum in Miami, as well as in group exhibitions at Ross+Kramer, New York and Jeffrey Deitch, LA. His work is held in the collection of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and the ICA Museum in Miami.   Photo Credit: Mara Poch Artist website https://www.lnkoth.com/ Massimo de Carlos MASSIMODECARLO Luce Gallery Installation Views Ludovic Nkoth You Sea Us 168 1 Galleria d'Arte Contemporanea a Torino Luce Gallery Francois Ghebaly Gallery - LA Don't Take This Too  – François Ghebaly Gallery, LA 2021  PAFA https://www.pafa.org/events/ludovic-nkoth-031622   Go Upstate https://www.goupstate.com/story/news/local/2022/05/19/dorman-high-grad-ludovic-nkoth-artwork-global-following-usc-upstate-high-museum-atlanta/7131341001/  Juxtapoz  https://www.juxtapoz.com/news/magazine/features/ludovic-nkoth-a-dear-statement-to-the-soul/  Ross Kramer https://rkgallery.com/artist/ludovic-nkoth Art of choice https://www.artofchoice.co/converse-with-the-expressive-style-of-ludovic-nkoth/ Christies https://www.christies.com/features/9-intriguing-portraits-of-family-members-10998-1.aspx Superposition Gallery  http://superpositiongallery.com/conversations/2020/4/11/interview-with-ludovic-nkoth Francois Ghebaly http://ghebaly.com/work/ludovic-nkoth-dont-take-this-too/

Episode 106 features Bony Ramirez (b. 1996, Tenares, Salcedo, Dominican Republic). He is a New Jersey-based artist whose work draws inspiration from Caribbean iconography and Renaissance style. In bold portraits of contorted, often nude figures, drawn on paper and then adhered to painted wooden backdrops that evoke the Caribbean tropics, Ramirez's work meditates on the legacy of colonialism in his native Dominican Republic. He cites Renaissance tropes like romanticized gore as influence: references recontextualized by afro-caribbean elements (a plantain tree, a durag) and reclaimed by the Black and Brown figures who inhabit them. Layers of material evoke the vestiges of Euro-colonialism that continue to inhabit the Caribbean psyche — a “double consciousness” that is occasionally, violently, interrupted. Ramirez's work has been featured in solo exhibitions at Bradley Ertaskiran, Montréal and Thierry Goldberg Gallery, New York, as well as recent group exhibitions at Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles; Company Gallery, New York; Nino Mier Gallery, Los Angeles; Regular Normal, New York; Zürcher Gallery, New York and Anna Zorina Gallery, New York.

Photography! Poverty Porn! Drawing in Space! Spiderwebs! Field Pod sits down with Field Projects current resident Stacy Kranitz for a talk about her take on documentary photography as a medium best used to question the truth of & in the image. Photographers constantly have to reckon with subjectivity. Stacy explains the ways she has pushed against the medium in her new book AS IT WAS GIVE(N) TO ME, a compilation based on over 12 years spent photographing the community living in the heartland of Appalachia. Incorporating pressed plants, topographic drawings, and preserved spiderwebs alongside her photography and voices drawn from a local newspaper column, Kranitz weaves a complex narrative that opens the history of Appalachia to the reader. Through these juxtapositions of text, image, and drawing a narrative of everyday life emerges in the wake of the systemic capitalist oppression that characterizes this region of the USA.  Before this exciting conversation, Field Projects Co-Directors Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello chat about the residency program and open call process. They talk the gallery/gallerist class system, the origins of Field Projects and the Open Call process, and MONEY and survival in contemporary art.

Austin Lee's second show at Jeffrey Deitch, Like It Is, is on view through April 23, 2022. Lee's painting process is unique. He initially mocks up ideas using 3D modeling software or digital sketches. Later, he recreates the digital image in physical form through 3D printing or, more often, using an airbrush and and acrylic paint on canvas. Lee's goal is to present the images, experiences and emotions provoked by digital aesthetics in physical form. His work ruminates on animated representations of his own feelings, alluding to emojis and early internet culture. In this podcast, Lee talks about his interest in Old Master paintings, his own traditional training in materials and how the two combine to create his uncanny take on digital culture.

When Frieze Week in Beverly Hills was unveiled next to the Beverly Hilton, collectors and dealers turned out in high style for the VIP opening, confirming what many already knew: art, fashion and entertainment converge in Beverly Hills.“Beverly Hills is where the art world meets,” says Jeffrey Deitch, art dealer and curator, referencing the collectors and cognoscenti who mingle in the city's galleries and restaurants.On this episode of Rodeo Drive: The Podcast, host Pari Ehsan and field correspondent Jason E.C. Wright explore how art and fashion intersect in the city of Beverly Hills and on Rodeo Drive itself, from public artworks on the street like Robert Graham's sculpture Torso to creative collaborations between couture houses and artists.Ehsan sits down with Deitch to discuss what makes the city a magnet for art enthusiasts, and what makes for successful art and fashion collaborations. “We've seen some artist-fashion collaborations that are dead on arrival. But then we've seen others that are just fantastic and inspiring. So some people saw me and my team at the opening of Frieze…all wearing a Kenny Scharf–Dior Men's collaboration..that's a very good example of an excellent collaboration.”Wright takes in the scene on Rodeo Drive with Kathy Gohari, President of Rodeo Drive Committee. “I see tourists coming early in the morning before the stores are even open and they're hugging the Torso and taking pictures.…They're not just coming to look at the buildings and the beautiful restaurants and the clothes, but it's the whole environment.”Season Three of Rodeo Drive – The Podcast is presented by the Rodeo Drive Committee with the support of the City of Beverly Hills, The Hayman Family, Two Rodeo Drive, Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau, and MCM.Listen to Rodeo Drive – The Podcast below and subscribe, rate and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.Watch moments from the series here and on YouTube.Check back in regularly for what's next in the series.Season Three Credits:Executive Producer: Lyn WinterHost: Pari EhsanField Correspondent: Jason E.C.

Starting in January and throughout 2022, the City of LA plans to give 3,200 families in poverty $1,000 a month — with no conditions. The $38 million program is called “BIG:LEAP.” To be eligible, families must live in LA, have at least one dependent child, and earn income at or below the federal poverty level. Theater students at California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo uncovered stories about the history of their campus, and transformed them into a collection of short plays called “Camarillo Tales: Echoes in the Hills.” And LACMA is currently displaying the famous Obama portraits plus a whole exhibition called “Black American Portraits,” while Kehinde Wiley is curating a show of other artists' work called “Self-Addressed” at the Jeffrey Deitch gallery. 

Recorded live on the show floor during Art Basel in Basel, this special episode brings together seven distinguished art world voices. Artists AA Bronson and Mario García Torres, curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, gallerists Jeffrey Deitch and Jasmin Tsou, and museum directors Elena Filipovic and Ann Demeester reflect on the art world's coming together again, how the pandemic changed them and how they see the future.

New Talk Art!!!! Russell & Robert speak with leading artist Kenturah Davis from her studio in Los Angeles.Her work oscillates between various facets of portraiture and design. Using text as a point of departure, she explores the fundamental role that language has in shaping how we understand ourselves and the world around us. This manifests in a variety of forms including drawings, textiles, sculpture and performances.Kenturah Davis lives and works between Los Angeles and Accra, Ghana. The artist earned her BA from Occidental College, Los Angeles, and MFA from Yale University School of Art in 2018. Her work was included in Punch, curated by Nina Chanel Abney at Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles, in 2019. The Savannah College of Art and Design presented Everything That Cannot Be Known, a solo exhibition of her work, in 2020. Public projects include a major commission by the Los Angeles Metro Rail to create large-scale, site specific work that will be permanently installed on the new Crenshaw/LAX rail line, opening in 2021, and Four Women, a commissioned mural by Alliance Francaise to commemorate International Women’s Day, in Accra, Ghana.

Gabi is back in LA, and we have our very first post-pandemic outing in our city together. We catch the final day of Shattered Glass, an incredible group show at Jeffrey Deitch gallery, and discuss its affect on us as an important ode to Los Angeles, collaboration, and consistency. Following the LA theme, we discuss Kendall's new tequila brand, 818 (the area code of her LA neighborhood), and the backlash she received for her campaign. We then get into a general discussion on the phenomenon of cancelling public figures - from the Ellen Degenres show ending to highly loved spiritual guru Mooji, who was accused of abuse and sexual misconduct at his ashram in Portugal. We missed doing episodes together in person and are so happy to be back. 

In this episode, host Lindsay Preston Zappas talks to L.A. based artist Simphiwe Ndzube. Ndzube talks about his childhood growing up in South Africa and how as an artist he uses his Magical Realist style to blend past experiences with fantasy. Ndzube talks about following his inner child as an intuitive guide to his art making which blends sculpture, painting, and assemblage. Ndzube discusses art-making as a tool for unpacking traumas, and how he uses his own practice to process past experiences. “The work is so much based on the openness. I do not judge my work. I bring to it what comes naturally, and I allow it as the finish goes to be whatever it's going to be. And I think what ends up happening is there is something that comes naturally without dictating and controlling it and wanting to say a specific thing or be a specific thing.” –Simphiwe NdzubeSimphiwe Ndzube  (b. 1990, Cape Town, South Africa) lives and works in Los Angeles, CA and Cape Town, South Africa. He received his BFA from the Michaelis School of Fine Arts in 2015. Ndzube's work is characterized by a fundamental interplay between objects, media and two-dimensional surfaces; stitching together a subjective account of the black experience in post-apartheid South Africa from a mythological perspective. Recent exhibitions include INXS: Major Never Before Seen Works by Simphiwe Ndzube, Moffat Takadiwa, and Zhou Yilun, Nicodim Gallery, Los Angeles, USA (2020); Hollywood Babylon: A Re-Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome, Nicodim, Jeffrey Deitch, and AUTRE Magazine, Los Angeles, USA (2020); Where Water Comes Together With Other Water, The 15th Lyon Biennale, Lyon, France (2019); People, Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles, USA (2019); In the Order of Elephants After the Rain, Galeria Nicodim, Bucharest, Romania (2019, solo); and New Acquisitions, The Rubell Museum, Miami, USA (2018). His work can be found in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon, Lyon, France, and the Iziko South African National Gallery, Cape Town, South Africa, among others.

Jeffrey Deitch is that rare type of creative who has a keen understanding of business: he holds an undergraduate degree in art history from Wesleyan University, and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Further blurring boundaries, he launched his career with a lethal one-two punch working at an art gallery before joining Citibank, where he co-managed the art advisory division. Before long, he rose to prominence as an art advisor and private dealer, while honing his own interests in street art and punk rock bands. Widely considered to be the first person who bought a work by Jean-Michel Basquiat (he was also the first to write about him in a 1980 essay for Art in America), Deitch continued to evidence prescience in identifying burgeoning talent, as he helped mint the careers of Jeff Koons, Kehinde Wiley, and Cecily Brown in his eponymous gallery space in New York. After conquering the East Coast art world, Deitch decamped for California, serving (an admittedly rocky term) as the director of MOCA in Los Angeles before returning to New York to run his own gallery, where he remains today. On the penultimate episode of The Art Angle for 2020, Deitch talks everything from punk rock to pandemic struggles.

Artist Dan Colen built Sky High Farm in the same way all his ideas are realized: intuitively, and with the faith to see it through. A 40-acre self-sustaining ecosystem in New York’s Hudson Valley, the farm helps underserved communities by donating everything it produces to local food banks. Since 2011, Colen and his team have given away more than 70 tons of organic vegetables, fruit, eggs, and meat. As the pandemic exposes the urgency of the farm’s raison d’être—spotlighting food insecurity and small-scale farming—Colen has sought new avenues to give back. This past August, he launched a Go Fund Me to double its production, scale up distribution, and increase its donation capacity by buying more food from other regional farmers. He’s also been working on a partnership with concept shop Dover Street Market—a collection of naturally tie-dyed, vintage-sourced T-shirts, hoodies, hats, and bandanas printed with the logos and slogans of the farm’s partners—and funneling the proceeds to farm beneficiaries. When the merchandise promptly sold out, Colen, a former skateboarder, realized fashion was an effective tool for spreading his message, particularly with a young, engaged audience. This fall, he unveiled the first in a yearlong series of covetable collaborations, created pro bono by 12 brands, including Awake NY, Noah, and Supreme. All profits will go toward running the farm. Colen, who’s represented by the Gagosian and Lévy Gorvy galleries in New York, and Massimo De Carlo in Milan, bought the plot of land nearly a decade ago after moving upstate, which gave him the space, access to nature, and the sense of freedom he needed at the time: He’d just gotten sober, and cultivating the land was an opportunity to do something bigger than himself. Colen long struggled to understand his draw to the property. But after nearly a decade, as he says on this episode of Time Sensitive, he’s come to see it as an extension of his creative practice: making things to alter perceptions, or to act as a mirror. Like his art—which varies in style and often employs perishable materials such as flowers, feathers, and chewing gum—the farm is an inquiry into ephemerality and slow, constant change, a canvas for Colen to work out experiences that made him the person he is today. On this episode, Colen recounts the circuitous journey that brought him to the farming life, speaking with Andrew about Sky High Farm’s efforts to combat food insecurity, how skateboarding introduced him to art, his profound relationship with the artists Ryan McGinley and the late Dash Snow, and the wide-ranging body of work he has created while grappling with life’s big questions.

May 27, 2020 Hello internet, it's Jerry Gogosian. I hope you and your family are doing well in these troubling times. It's been a while since I last released an episode of the podcast. Like many of you, life got real real and I have had to really focus on the brass and tacks for a while. However, during all of this, I’ve had the privilege of reflection. Time to finally start absorbing the reality of where we’ve come to as a species, as a culture, as a community of art lovers, as an industry… The inevitability of change is here and its time to start deciding what we want to do about it. (This is a longer conversation meant for another time.) ***But, I'm good. There will be several more podcast releases in the coming weeks so you have that to look forward to. For this episode, I decided to speak with the artist Kenturah Davis about her paintings and her practice's relationship liminality, language, and how textiles manage to weave their way into the history of human communication. It was truly a pleasure and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. But before we get started, I wanted to announce that after much searching for a quality Zoe + Chloe, I think I’ve found him. That's right. His name is Gunner Dongieux. I decided to record our interview to get your opinion. What do you think? Is he a good hire? Is he a Zoe or a Chloe? ________ Kenturah Davis lives and works in Los Angeles, CA with regular trips to Accra, Ghana.

A few weeks ago, before the doors opened for the second day of the Armory Show, we tucked ourselves on a quiet mezzanine to complete our last in a series of three podcasts from the revered art fair. The mood in the city was beginning to take shape: the Coronavirus began to dominate every discussion, and yet in this early morning, we were able to sit down with NYC-based painter/sculpture artist, Austin Lee, long a friend of the magazine and celebrating a solo booth with Jeffrey Deitch in the pier down the hall from us. We've known Austin for years: he's been featured in the magazine and also a major part of our Juxtapoz x Superflat exhibitions in Seattle and Vancouver with Takashi Murakami. His highly intricate-yet-appearing-lo-fi works have always astounded us. They feel so original and yet so playful, a tad sinister and loose. But we learn over the course of this conversation with Radio Juxtapoz, is that these works are time-consuming, polished and rely heavy on a special technique that Austin has been perfecting for years. These paintings and sculptures show what a generation of artists inspired by early digital technologies such as iPaint, Paintbrush or other applications of the late 1990s and early 2000s have come to create in a contemporary art context. What we love from this conversation is just how excited Austin has been, from his years at Yale to the present, with the use of technology and exploration in his practice. Subscribe to the Radio Juxtapoz podcast HERE. The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 041 was recorded live in New York City at Pier 90, March 6, 2020. Thank you to The Armory Show for the support.

We’re having a conversation with renowned art dealer and curator, Jeffrey Deitch.  We’re asking ‘What is art’ and why he went to Harvard business school to study art criticism. We also talk about working with artists Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Kaws, and a changing of the guard of the art world. 

Kim Hastreiter identifies as a “punk at heart.” The co-founder of Paper magazine, which she started in 1984 with David Hershkovits, she served as the publication’s co-editor-in-chief until handing it off, in 2017. At 67, she remains the cool mom of downtown New York. A curator, editor, writer, and artist, as well as a perpetually delighted connector of people, she witnessed—and amplified—the fledgling careers of Keith Haring, Vivienne Westwood, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and countless others.Hastreiter is, and has always been, New York hustle incarnate. From spending the Summer of Love building Paolo Soleri’s Arcosanti in the desert, to cultivating Paper in 1979 in her loft kitchen, to printing the first issue in 1984 as a black-and-white zine, her gritty commitment to beauty and inspiration has never wavered. There’s never a dull moment with Hastreiter: Throughout Paper’s ascent to pop-culture bible, she curated several art and design shows, authored or co-authored four books, and hosted countless parties for her kaleidoscopic assortment of collaborators and friends. She is currently a mentor for Jim’s Web, a scholarship and mentorship program for emerging creatives, started in memory of her close friend the late design consultant and collector Jim Walrod.On this episode of Time Sensitive, Hastreiter sits down with Andrew Zuckerman to share her experiences of being a Mudd Club kid, selling clothes to Jackie Kennedy, curating in New York at the turn of the millenium, and “breaking the internet” with Kim Kardashian.

Walter Robinson is a New York artist and art critic. He has exhibited his work at several New York City galleries since the 1980s, including Haunch of Venison, Lynch Tham and Metro Pictures. "Walter Robinson: Paintings and Other Indulgences," a retrospective exhibition of 90 works dating from 1979 to 2012, opened in 2014 at the University Galleries at Illinois State University in Normal, IL, and traveled this winter to Moore College in Philadelphia; its final appearance was at Jeffrey Deitch in SoHo. He was also the founding editor of Artnet Magazine (1996-2012) and news editor at Art in America (1980-1996). He also served as art editor of the East Village Eye (1983-85) and co-published and co-edited Art-Rite magazine during 1973-77. Walter was also a correspondent for Art TV Gallery Beat, a public access television show in the late '90s, and a cofounder of Printed Matter, the New York bookstore devoted to publications by artists. Brian stopped by Walter’s Long Island City studio to talk about Oklahoma, SoHo in it’s prime, writing about art, pulp imagery and more. This episode is brought to you by Golden Paint and Charter Coffeehouse.

Our guest for the hour today is visual artist Sam Vernon. This episode is a part of our ongoing series of programs focusing on Utah State University's Year of the Arts. Sam Vernon earned her MFA in Painting/Printmaking from Yale University in 2015 and her BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 2009. Her installations combine xeroxed drawings, photographs, paintings and sculptural components in an exploration of personal narrative and identity. She uses installation and performance to honor the past while revising historical memory. Vernon has most recently exhibited with We Buy Gold, Interstitial Gallery, Coney Art Walls curated by Jeffrey Deitch, Brooklyn Museum, Queens Museum, Fowler Museum at UCLA and Seattle Art Museum. Sam Vernon lives in Oakland, CA and teaches printmaking as an Assistant Professor at California College of the Arts (CCA). She gave a presentation recently at USU as a part of the Communitas Lecture Series in the USU Caine College of the Arts.

An interview about the art market with dealer Jeffrey Deitch -- former director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles -- looks the serendipitous and thorny aspects of this unique world. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Art and finance have long been intertwined. As early as the Italian Renaissance, a Florentine banking family supported Michelangelo and Botticelli in making their masterpieces. On this episode, we fast-forward a few centuries to 1980s New York City as Jeffrey Deitch explains how he convinced both bankers and art world denizens to buy into Citibank’s new art services department—an innovation that would transform the art market into what we know today.

Which is easier to navigate: the market or museums? Joining us to discuss this—and much more—are Jeffrey Deitch and Lisa Dennison. Jeffrey has worn many hats in the art world—gallerist, advisor, collector, director of LA MoCA and even artist—and will be opening a new gallery in Los Angeles this autumn. Lisa is the former director of the Guggenheim Museum who joined Sotheby's in 2007, focusing on international business development. "In Other Words" is a presentation of AAP and Sotheby's, produced by Audiation.fm. For a full transcript, click here: http://www.artagencypartners.com/episode-11/

Chinese artist and political dissident Ai Weiwei opened not one, not two, but four new shows in New York City last week. In this episode, we delve into “Laundromat,” on view at Jeffrey Deitch—the latest work by Ai to engage with the European refugee crisis. And we ask: Can artists move the needle on public reaction to humanitarian crises?

A panel discussion at ArtBasel Miami Beach offering perspectives on the future of the art market as the global economy moves toward significant re-adjustment with Wilbur Ross, Jr., Steven Tananbaum and Jeffrey Deitch.

Jeffrey Deitch, a celebrated art critic and curator, talks about his popular new book “Live the Art,” which details his decades of boundary-pushing work in the galleries and museums of New York, California, and beyond. In a fascinating conversation with Massimiliano Gioni, Artistic Director of New York’s New Museum, Deitch discusses innovation, creation, and his appreciation for spectacle.

“Art in the Streets” is set to debut in April of this year at the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles (MOCA). This show is planned to be a comprehensive statement on international street art, cholo graffiti art, tattoo art, and skater art from the 1970’s to the present moment. The exhibition has already drawn attention in artists’ circles and in international press prior to the scheduled opening, primarily because of the whitewashing of one of its commissioned works. As part of the “Art in the Streets” exhibition, the Italian street artist known as BLU was hired by MOCA to paint a mural on the north wall of the Geffen Temporary Contemporary in Little Tokyo. The images of coffins draped in dollar bills- a direct commentary on the U.S. Defense Department’s refusal to allow photography of soldiers’ coffins returning from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The museum had the mural was removed just after its completion. New museum director Jeffrey Deitch explained to the Los Angeles Times that the work could be seen as offensive by other members of the Little Tokyo community that is home to a Japanese-American veterans war memorial and to the Veterans Affairs hospital. We wanted to get a sense of how street art and white-washing continue to affect local artists in Los Angeles. Hear In The City Producer Luis Sierra Campos, spoke with Alex Poli, who goes by the name of MANONE, and who directs CREWEST Gallery in Downtown LA. MANONE was instrumental in organizing a permitted 10,000 square foot graffiti mural on the Los Angeles River in 2008. The mural was later ordered whitewashed by county supervisor Gloria Molina.

This week Jeffrey Deitch!!! Recorded before a live studio audience at the BAS apexart show with special help from Carlo McCormick. Carlo McCormick is a leading New York art writer and a champion of "the downtown scene". For almost decades Jeffrey Deitch has been perhaps the most important taste maker and facilitator of emerging contemporary art in New York City and the world. On the eve of Deitch's departure from New York, Carlo will talk to Jeffrey about his time and legacy as one of the most visible, dynamic and controversial players in the the New York art world.
