Frank Gehry, the architect behind the Guggenheim Bilbao, Geffen Contemporary at MoCA, Los Angeles, and the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, among other museums and art spaces, died last Friday at his home in Santa Monica, California. He was 96. Ben Luke discusses his long engagement with art, artists and museums with Paul Goldberger, the architecture critic and Gehry's biographer. Serpentine and the US-based FLAG Art Foundation last week announced the creation of a prize for artists that will see £1 million being awarded over 10 years to five artists, so £200,000 to each recipient—the largest contemporary art prize in the UK given to a single artist. Ben speaks to Glenn Fuhrman, founder of The FLAG Art Foundation, and Jonathan Rider, its director, about the prize. And this episode's Work of the Week is Sunlight (1978) by Joan Semmel. The painting features in a new exhibition opening at the Jewish Museum in New York this week, and we speak to the show's curator, Rebecca Shaykin.Paul Goldberger is the author of Building Art: The Life and Work of Frank Gehry, published in 2015 by Knopf, and Why Architecture Matters, published in 2009 by Yale University Press.Joan Semmel: In the Flesh, Jewish Museum, New York, 12 December-31 May 2026 Hosted on Acast.

TAMMY KANAT Fibre Artist with Sidra Moshinsky Director and CEO of the Jewish Museum of Australia Well I know this next guest very well she's my talented sister and artist Tammy Kanat I've watched her dedicate herself to evolving her craft and blossoming into a fibre artist whose beautiful pieces adorn many homes including mine!Tammy is a Melbourne-based fibre artist whose practice is driven by curiosity, intuition, and a deep sense of experimentation. Her work unfolds as an evolving narrative, shaped by colour, movement, and emotion. Using custom hand-formed copper looms, including her signature circular frames, Kanat pushes beyond the traditional boundaries of tapestry, creating intricate compositions that move fluidly between geometric and organic forms. Her style is deeply contemplative, drawing from her internal world and guided by a rhythmic, meditative process.I'd also like to welcome Sidra Moshinsky Director and CEO of the Jewish Museum of Australia where Tammy's latest exhibition Circle of Her is featured.Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TQjCspxcrSi4yw2YugxBkBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1365850

What happens when a politically motivated attacker leaves behind more than just devastation—he leaves behind a roadmap? In this episode, we unpack the unclassified Homeland Security report following the deadly shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. You'll hear a step-by-step analysis of the attack, what clues were missed, and how political violence is evolving. Learn how this incident—and others like it—highlight growing trends and security gaps in high-risk environments. What You Will Learn in This Episode The New Trend in Targeted Violence: Why more attackers are surviving their acts to make political statements—and what that means for threat detection. The Power of Pre-Incident Clues: How manifestos, online posts, and behavioral changes often leave a trail of “leakage” before violence erupts.

This summer, The Jewish Museum is examining the life and work of a local artist who dared to be different. Ben Shahn was born in present day Lithuania in 1898, but immigrated to Brooklyn as a boy after his father was exiled to Siberia. Shahn began a life of using his art to respond to historical moments with social realism, from the Great Depression to the Vietnam War. Dr. Laura Katzman, professor of art history at James Madison University, and Dr. Stephen Brown, curator at the Jewish Museum discuss, "Ben Shahn, On Nonconformity," on view through October 12.

Two Israeli Embassy employees were shot and killed Wednesday night as they left the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. The suspect in the killing, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, was initially "observed pacing back and forth outside of the museum" before he approached a group of four people, "produced a handgun," and shot the two victims.  As he was handcuffed, Rodriguez repeatedly shouted "Free Palestine.” The shooting was being investigated as a hate crime, a law enforcement source said. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the details of the case that don't exactly add up, and Israel's history of staging false flag operations to achieve geopolitcal objectives. Plus segments on Piers Morgan's recent turn against Israel, Trump's “Big, Beautiful Bill” passing the House and evidence that the Biden administration covered up serious side effects from the mRNA vaccines.  Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kim Bright and Mary Holland.
