This week on Bad at Sports, Duncan MacKenzie and Ryan Peter Miller find themselves in Chicago with curator Bianca Bova and the indefatigable Kenny Schachter — artist, writer, teacher, collector, and provocateur. What begins as a conversation about Schachter's exhibition at Old Friends Gallery — featuring chicken-assisted artworks and bronze casts forged in Slovenia — quickly expands into a meditation on the art world itself. Schachter reflects on his collaborations, his obsession with foundries, and his refusal to keep resources secret. The group debates the zero-sum mentality of the art market, why artists sabotage themselves, and how absurd projects (sometimes with actual chickens) can be the most serious acts of art-making. Equal parts candid and comedic, the conversation cuts across auctions, art fairs, and the everyday realities of teaching. Expect reflections on generosity vs. gatekeeping, the fragility of the art system, and what it means to make art that is more conceptual than commercial. Highlights • Chickens as collaborators and muses. • The foundry in Slovenia that casts Rudolf Stingel's panels. • Why keeping fabricators secret is a sign of weakness. • Auctions as democratizing, even anarchic, art spaces. • The necessity of art in a divided and compassion-starved world.

Alec and Nick return to podcasting to discuss their special respective connections to classical music. The conversation employs a back-to-basics overview of the form: what is classical music? What is NOT classical music? What was and is it? Taking a zoomed-out approach, the episode spans the culture, mechanics, operations, and evolution of classical music: arriving at an assessment of the “audacity of its form” in relationship to the dysfunction and cosmopolitanism of contemporary society. Johann Sebastian Bach, Igor Stravinsky, Richard Strauss, Maurice Ravel, Erik Satie, John Cage, Morton Feldman, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and even … Béla Fleck & the Flecktones are all mentioned.

A 76. adás vendége Varga Balázs fotográfus, a hazai streetfotó, pontosabban a streetfotózásból táplálkozó fotóművészet egyik legkiemelkedőbb alakja. Balázs szinte véletlenül csöppent bele a fotó világába, de akkor nagyon. Az egyetemen szociológiát tanult, egy házibuliban fedezte fel a fotózás örömét, és ez később - egy amerikai kiküldetés során - már igazi szenvedélyévé vált. Itthon megállás nélkül fotózott az utcán, s barátaival már azelőtt megalapította az első magyar streetfotós kollektívát (amely most Norma néven fut), hogy a műfaj egyáltalán népszerűvé vált volna Magyarországon. Soha nem tanulta intézményi keretek között, a kitartó fotózás és inspirálódás azonban érett, tudatos művészt varázsolt belőle. A gyakorlatban spontán, a válogatás és anyagépítés során azonban rendkívül átgondolt, megtervezett munkamódszert követ, az eredmény pedig magáért beszél: egyedi, meglepő és önazonos sorozatok kerülnek ki a keze alól, amelyek külföldön is egyre inkább felkeltik a szakma figyelmét. A mai adásban elsőként az idegenvezetésről és a zenéről beszélgettünk, mindkettő fontos szerepet játszik Balázs életében. Ezután megnézzük, milyen úton talált rá a fotográfiára és hogyan szippantotta be őt teljesen a fotós életforma. Az adás második részében pedig az anyagait vizsgáljuk meg részletesen. Érdemes az adás előtt megnézni Balázs honlapját, ott több, a műsorban említett projektje is megtalálható.

Some people might call Jonathon Keats an artist, but he calls himself an experimental philosopher. His body of work explores the way that human life intersects with political and economic systems. His first major work, in the year 2000, involved sitting in a chair thinking for hours, and then selling his thoughts to patrons at prices calculated on the basis of their income. He once copyrighted his own mind as a sculpture. He created a ringtone based on John Cage's famous piece, 4'33”, which is four minutes and thirty-three seconds of complete silence. He built a pinhole camera that takes photographic exposures lasting 100 years. In Berkeley, California, he built a temple for the worship of science. Recently, he has been involved in efforts to formalize rights of nature. Jonathon challenges us to look carefully at the assumptions built into our markets, our democracies and our technologies, and constantly seems to do it in ways that seem abstract at the time, but end up prefiguring political or cultural issues years or decades before they erupt. He's a wonderful guide to this territory, and to the big questions it involves. In this conversation Matt and Jonathon discuss the philosophy of timekeeping. They consider the connectedness and the alienation of being on universal atomic time, the promise of alternative systems such as the river clock, and how different notions of timekeeping influence our understanding of democracy and nature.Jonathon Keats is an experimental philosopher, artist and writer. He is currently a fellow at the Berggruen Institute, a research fellow at the Long Now Foundation, a research associate at the University of Arizona, principal philosopher at Earth Law Center and an artist-in-residence at Hyundai, the SETI Institute and Flux Projects. His most recent book is “You Belong to the Universe: Buckminster Fuller and the Future” (Oxford University Press).Mentioned:Alaska RiverTimeIf you have feedback or ideas for future episodes, email us at info@radicalxchange.org.Host: Matt PrewittGuest: Jonathan KeatsProducer: Jack Henderson Connect with RadicalxChange Foundation:WebsiteXBlueSkyYouTubeLinkedInDiscord

We are so excited to have the one and only Bob Bralove as our guest on No Simple Road this week! Reminiscing about the magnetic pull of legendary live performances, we reflect on the timeless impact of icons like Stevie Wonder, the Grateful Dead, and The Beatles. The past's vibrant music scene, where creative titans like John Cage and Salvador Dali mingled, serves as a backdrop for our discussion on the evolution of musical exploration. From the analog magic of pre-digital discoveries to the digital era's effortless access, this episode offers a nostalgic yet forward-looking perspective on how the journey of discovering music has transformed but continues to shape personal and collective experiences. Music, an eternal uniter, transcends the imaginary divisions of the world—this truth resonates throughout our conversation. As we navigate the delicate dance of personal expression and collaborative creation, the evocative power of music emerges as a comforting force. Taking all of Bob's influences and creating the new album 'Acoustic Conversations' has been a journey. We get to hear all about the creation of improvised sounds with violinist Patti Weiss and how this new album was born.
