Kenny Schachter is many things in the art world - critic, artist, dealer, you name it. But he would tell you first he's an outsider. Is he though? In this episode, Anna and Kenny connect by feeling like an outsider in the art world.
The Exhibit: Finding The Next Great Artist is a first-of-its-kind docu-competition series in which seven diverse artists compete for a $100,000 cash prize and a once-in-a-lifetime, career-defining exhibit at the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC. Each rising artist is tasked to create a museum exhibit based on the Hirshhorn's mission to feature art that “responds to history in real time.” This series is produced in partnership with Smithsonian Channel™ and the Hirshhorn.Hosted by MTV News' Dometi Pongo, The Exhibit: Finding The Next Great Artist will feature Melissa Chiu, Director of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden as lead judge along with respected art-world insiders Abigail DeVille, JiaJia Fei, Samuel Hoi, Adam Pendleton, Keith Rivers, Kenny Schachter and Sarah Thornton, as guest judges. The six-episode series features weekly competitions centered around the hot-button issues of our time, leading to a grand finale at the Hirshhorn Ball, the museum's annual gala, where the winning artist will be chosen.
Kenny Schachter @kennyschachter is an art world hybrid--artist, critic, journalist, curator, dealer, NFT expert... We focus specifically on his video work for much of this conversation, as we'll showcase a few of the hundreds he's made over the years this Friday January 13th @reunion in NYC, actually showing Kenny's work for the first time ever in a theater. As I type this the morning after recording, I think about the idea of 'outsider' in the art world, which Kenny describes himself as. I'm not so sure. I want to ask him some follow ups on that. We discussed different pathways to making art, and how being informed by history of a medium can be a rich path to practicing, but not necessary, and all paths could create beauty. That combined with how Kenny can speak fluently in that history, and literally just turned in his manuscript for his forthcoming NFTism. He's an authority. Doesn't matter if he didn't start as such. So if that's the case, why is Kenny an outsider? I'm not so sure. I look forward to seeing him on Friday and asking him more about this. In the meantime, hope you enjoy, and you can get tickets to Friday's screening here: https://www.midnighttheatre.com/events/reunion-film-jan13-23 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/teawithsg/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teawithsg/support
In our new CONVOCO! Podcast Corinne M. Flick speaks with Kenny Schachter, the artist, writer, and curator, about: The State of Crypto: Beyond Scams and Scandals
A discussion with the unique and unparalleled Kenny Schachter. Kenny has been curating contemporary art exhibits in museums and galleries and teaching art history and economics at some of the top art schools for nearly 30 years. He is an obsessive collector with a home busting at the seams with renowned works and more in storage on multiple continents. Schachter has a “no nonsense” writing style that makes him a popular contributor at Artnet News. And above all else Kenny is an artist. He has been making work for years, but has found his greatest success in dragging the art world with him into the NFT space. He is so passionate about it that he has trademarked the term “NFTism” and has tattooed it on his arm.https://www.kennyschachter.art/

Greetings, fellow Bastardo! This week on The Viva Bastardo Show we have multi-hyphenate (but namely artist) Kenny Schachter! Phil and Kenny cover everything from some of the 150+ cars that Kenny has owned, an ongoing lawsuit, designing cars and a healthy, healthy dose of verbal banter/abuse towards one another! This episode is also sponsored by Inbound Motorsports, Vital Oxide and Economy Signs. The Viva Bastardo Show is part of the Hagerty Podcast Network.
Kenny Schachter has an insatiable appetite for all things art. The polymathic art dealer, curator, teacher, writer, critic, collector, and self-taught artist brings a Tasmanian Devil–level energy to all that he does, but always with great, arms-open passion and, even within his whirlwind of ideas and projects, deep focus. For good reason, he has become a sort of enfant terrible in the art world, someone who's not afraid to speak his mind, and who doesn't care about ruffling feathers or messing with the establishment. He pushes against the status quo, and happily so. Schachter is a believer in high culture as much as low, and brings little pretension to his craft, no matter the medium, even if considerable rigor underlies it. Often, he's decidedly coy.Schachter's love of art is bona fide and lifelong. Not only did art prove a helpful outlet for him during a difficult childhood, but it has also blossomed into a way of growing closer to his family (particularly with his children, with whom he has mounted a series of inventive exhibitions). Schachter especially appreciates art for its ability to help him depict the time he's living in. For him, art also serves as a form of cultural and personal commentary and as a mode of humor, often the self-deprecating variety. Schachter has become something of an NFT oracle, too, and will present his latest efforts in this space at next month's Independent Art Fair (May 5–8) in New York, with Greece's Allouche Benias gallery.On this episode, Schachter talks with Andrew about art as a form of sense-making, the benefits of being an outsider, and why he employs humor in so much of his work.Special thanks to our Season 5 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.

Part 1/2 - Newbie interview episode with Meta, the podcast assistant, find her on https://twitter.com/MetaDaniel7 (Twitter) Time Stamps [00:32 – 4:38] Meta asks what websites to use for references, specifically sites like https://raritysniper.com/ (RaritySniper) and https://xn--rarble-5va.com/?subid=12a39eo15mhn (Rarible). Sabertooth says if you need to use these type of websites, you probably don't know enough about that project to be investing in it. For kizu, the analysis is useful in an objective comparison. Sabertooth disagrees and says it is actually subjective. He also warns to check out the business model for those sites. [4:38 – 6:52] Sabertooth says that he doesn't personally use any websites for educational purposes and recommends that you simply listen to Floor is Rising for the info you need regarding trends, projects, etc. Continuing, he does says that a helpful way to get more information is by looking at wallets. Using the example of https://www.larvalabs.com/cryptopunks (CryptoPunks) he says, check out what wallets have Punks then see what other NFTs that wallet owns. By this you will see patterns and transactions. [6:52 – 11:55] Meta asks about the distinction between the different marketplaces. Sabertooth notes that it is helpful to break them down in to categories of primary and secondary sale. Primary examples would be; https://superrare.com/ (SuperRare), https://niftygateway.com/ (NiftyGateway), https://foundation.app/ (Foundation), https://async.art/ (async.art), https://newworldmarketplace.io/#/landing (NewWorld), etc. In these cases the artist is minting a particular work and you buy directly from him via listing or auction. Secondary sale sites include; https://opensea.io/ (OpenSea),https://rarible.com/officialnftmarketplace?tab=onsale (Rarible), https://zora.co/ (Zora), and you would buy from collectors. These previously mentioned pertain to https://ethereum.org/en/ (Ethereum). https://nftplazas.com/hic-et-nunc-finds-a-solution-after-sudden-shut-down/ (Hic et Nunc) is different, it is on https://tezos.com/ (Tezos). Every blockchain (https://solana.com/ (Solana), https://www.terra.money/ (Terra), https://dfinity.org/ (Dfinity)) has an NFT ecosystem and thus its own marketplace. Most NFTs are on Ethereum but Tezos and Solana would be the next up. Kizu recommends, especially for those from the traditional art world, to check out some of the NFT gallery spaces for a more curated experience. One he likes, that was even mentioned by https://twitter.com/kennyschac (Kenny Schachter), is https://feralfile.com/about (FeralFile). Kizu says that on there you can even find OG artist like https://twitter.com/tylerxhobbs (Tyler Hobbs), https://twitter.com/refikanadol (Refik Anadol), https://twitter.com/quasimondo (Mario Klingemann) (who we just interviewed) [11:55 – 13:45] Meta asks about minting, sales, and rights. Sabertooth clarifies that an NFT is not tied to a marketplace. This being said, the price can vary on different sites. [13:45 – 16:36] Moving to wallets, Sabertooth talks about how the terminology and metaphors we use directly affects our behavior. Wallet conjures up the idea that the NFT is stored there, it's better to think about the wallet as a way to interact. The blockchain stores the NFT. Ultimately, what people need to focus on protecting is their seed phrase not necessarily the wallet. [16:36 – 20:33] The way you prove you own what you own is through your seed phrase and this is set up usually when you get a wallet. If you loose this seed phrase that's it. If you leaked your seed phrase there's no getting it back, you can't call up and reset the password. One thing you can do to protect your seed phrase is to get a hardware wallet. This has a benefit as opposed to a hot wallet...
Episode Interview with Kenny Schachter, find his twitter https://twitter.com/kennyschac?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (@kennyschac), his website https://www.kennyschachter.art/ (https://www.kennyschachter.art/) and check out https://cryptomutts.io/ (Crypto Mutts). Time Stamps [0:58 – 3:31] Kenny was introduced to NFTs in September 2020. Made art prior to NFTs but never felt comfortable calling himself an artist. After learning about NFTs, he made some NFTs and realized how revolutionary NFTs would be to the art world. Wrote about NFTs in the journal, https://www.theartnewspaper.com/authors/kenny-schachter (The Art Newspaper). He was introduced to https://niftygateway.com/collections/kennyschachter (Nifty Gateway) by https://twitter.com/tommyk_eth (Tommy Kimmelman) and in December 2020 sold several NFTs on the platform. Has pursued NFTs since then. [3:47 – 7:46] Kenny explains that art is about communication. NFTs are being communicated in different ways. The https://opensea.io/collection/cryptopunks (CryptoPunks) set a precedent and people are poking fun at themselves. Kenny created PFPs called the https://cryptomutts.io/ (CryptoMutts) as satire. Kennys says right now you can also buy a masterpiece NFT, but people are more focused on using PFPs as a substitute for digital currency (which he says is a no-no). Kenny says art is a slow burning process. The NFT community is full of all different people making relevant and meaningful art. Sabretooth mentions tension between artists and feelings toward PFP collectibles. He references the value of Crypto Punks for being OG art of NFTs, and compares it to Bitcoin being the oldest crypto. He asks Kenny's thoughts on the thesis that PFPs won't hold in that high value as more traditional art people come into NFTs. [9:26 – 13:55] Kenny thinks there are pockets of overvaluation. His own CryptoMutt collection was to create a community and also gave a reduction to an https://www.artnet.com/ (ArtNet) subscription. He didn't like Crypto Punks at first but has grown to appreciate what they signify. He thinks eventually PFPs will go away because they are now just copying what has been successful and don't have any meaning. He says the market changes swiftly and references https://www.artblocks.io/ (art blocks), and generative NFTs from generative photography and computer art in the 60s and 70s. Kizo mentions that people in the crypto world might not have art history knowledge, and people in the traditional art world may not be interested in how discord works. [15:25 – 22:24] Kenny references https://twitter.com/beeple (Beeple) who has a sculpture at Christie's with an NFT element (the piece is https://www.artnews.com/art-news/market/beeple-human-one-christies-1234608208/ (Human One)) in the language of “boomer art” like https://twitter.com/hirst_official (Damien Hirst) and https://twitter.com/JeffKoons (Jeff Koons). When someone commented on a resemblance to https://www.artsy.net/artwork/alberto-giacometti-walking-man-i (Alberto Giacometti's walking man sculpture), Beeple was uninterested, and said art history is stupid. Kenny uses this to emphasize there are people on both sides (crypto world and traditional world) that aren't interested in the other. Many in the crypto world who don't care to learn about art history or have interest in power brokers in the art world such as https://twitter.com/Gagosian (Larry Gagosian), https://twitter.com/HauserWirth (Hauser & Wirth), https://twitter.com/gladstonenyc?lang=en (Barbara Gladstone), Acquavella, or https://twitter.com/PaceGallery (Pace). Many people in the traditional art world don't care to learn about NFTs. Kenny talks about contemporary artists who've transitioned to NFTs, https://twitter.com/tom_sachs (Tom Sachs) who created https://twitter.com/tsrocketfactory (Rocket Factory) and https://twitter.com/CHAOSursfischer (Urs Fischer) whose project is...

Episode interview with Max Osiris. Find his twitterhttp://twitter.com/maxosirisart ( Max Osiris Art) and his blog athttps://maxosiris.com/ ( Max Osiris). Time Stamps [00:37 - 01:30] Max was bitten by the NFT crypto art bug in 2018 when, during his research on blockchain, he stumbled acrosshttps://superrare.com/ ( SuperRare) and the concept of art as NFTs on the blockchain. “It [NFT crypto art] seemed naturally like the evolution of art. I had the intuitive sense that this is going to be big.” [01:31 - 02:53] Max then started submitting artwork to SuperRare, describing it as a digital and modern fine art gallery. “They [SuperRare] looked likehttps://www.sothebys.com/en/ ( Sotheby's).” [02:54 - 04:19] Describes himself as a transdimensional artist. Has been called a digital shaman, which he understands he might have earned through his interests in psychedelics and visionary states. [04:20 - 04:59] Some of Max's favorite art is art that speaks to something (be it political issues or philosophical issues). Feels crypto art is a good vehicle for capturing the zeitgeist. [05:03 - 07:20] Feels that the democratization of art is one of the most exciting aspects of NFT crypto art. Resents the idea that there is an exclusive group of people likehttps://www.kennyschachter.art/ ( Kenny Schachter) who have “great taste in art” and who, thus, dictate what great art is. [07:25 - 08:50] Loves that crypto art has disintermediated the art world, making traditional art galleries and curators less important than they used to be. Notes that individuals can now show off their NFT crypto art collections (likehttp://twitter.com/robnessofficial ( Robness),https://www.twitter.com/XCOPYART ( X Copy), etc) on sites likehttp://oncyber.io/ ( Cyber). [08:51 - 12:14] Has had to mint art on different platforms likehttps://knownorigin.io/ ( KnownOrigin),https://rarible.com/ ( Rarible), andhttps://opensea.io/ ( OpenSea) because, at some point, he was kicked off another platform. Was kicked off SuperRare because he used portions of Hackatao in his “https://superrare.com/artwork-v2/i1o-i1o-i1o-[edit]-love-13170 (I1O I1O I1O [EDIT] LOVE)” piece withouthttps://twitter.com/Hackatao ( Hackatao)'s permission. Was kicked off KnownOrigin because he got doxxed. [12:15 - 13:27] When an Institut Gallery show in London demanded that Max's submission be bound by the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act), Max refused and, instead, submitted a piece titled https://knownorigin.io/gallery/586100-dmca-rejected-institut-submission (DMCA) which was mostly whitespace with a paragraph talking about the absurdity of the DMCA. [13:38 - 14:28] Displeased that https://twitter.com/KimDotcom (Kim Dotcom) was harassed over copyright issues and has been fighting extradition for about 10 years. Largely blames industries that pay lawmakers to control individual artists through digital rights management and, invariably, stifle creativity. [14:29 - 16:38] http://twitter.com/robnessofficial (Robness) digitized the https://opensea.io/assets/0xb932a70a57673d89f4acffbe830e8ed7f75fb9e0/7323 (64 GALLON TOTER) as a protest to copyright issues and Max being banned. “That was like the resistance piece to me getting banned, amongst other things.” This was to be the beginning of the Trash Art movement, with more artists joining in to stand up for each other against the gatekeeping on platforms. Following the clamour by artists that the ban on Max and Robness be lifted, the platform eventually caved, agreeing to let Max and Robness back on with hopes that they would not “cause any more trouble”. [16:39 - 19:28] Max believes the platforms are simply trying to avoid hosting content that violates copyright laws. Resents that DMCA is used to stifle creativity, control, and extort money from artists....
Russia's State Hermitage Museum wants to cash in on the NFT craze, by selling digital versions of its masterpieces.

This week The Cultural Frontline is looking into the art world's latest phenomenon…NFTs or Non Fungible Tokens. And if you're wondering exactly what that means, join Sophia Smith Galer to find out more about this new form of digital art. NFTs hit the headlines this year when an NFT artwork by the American digital artist Beeple sold at auction for a record breaking $69.3 million. So what are NFTs and how do they work? NFTs use a lot of energy which is bad for the environment, but they can open up new possibilities for artists. Tim Schneider, Art Business Editor at Artnet News, explains the pros and cons. Despite million pound sales from the likes of Canadian singer Grimes and American celebrity socialite Paris Hilton, the majority of artists commanding high sales from NFT artworks are men. Scottish art collector and co-founder of international collective Women of Crypto Art Etta Tottie and Senegalese artist and member of Her Story DAO Linda Rebeiz explain how they're working to make the world of NFT art more diverse. Artists can sell NFTs via online platforms and they are attracting a new type of buyer: young, digitally savvy and familiar with crypto currency. Now the art world is getting involved with an exhibition of NFT art at UCCA Lab in Beijing and the launch of Institut, an “art world” platform to exhibit and sell NFTs. American writer, artist and NFT expert Kenny Schachter explains how the traditional art world feels about this digital disruption. NFTs have made headlines for big sales and celebrity connections but one creative couple in Indonesia is using an NFT to raise money for charity. In April 2021, the Indonesian navy submarine, KRI Nanggala 402, sank off the coast of Bali, killing all 53 crew members. Sound designer Ruanth Chrisley Thyssen and illustrator and influencer Cindy Thyssen have joined forces do something to mark the event with an artwork, 53 Never Forgotten.

We got to have an incredibly fun chat with Kenny Schachter about his background in the traditional art world, the awakening of NFTs, and all things ART! We touch on the "pre-beeple" phase and how money has influenced the NFT space (both positively and negatively), the environmental effects of blockchain and how that may evolve, and even ponder the pros and cons of gummy bear car tires. We hope you love this one as much as we did :) Enjoy!

On this episode of Why Watch That:SNEAK PEEKI Carry You With MeWebsite: Sony Pictures ClassicsSynopsis: Based on true love, this decades spanning romance begins in Mexico between an aspiring chef and a teacher. Their lives restart in incredible ways as societal pressure propels the couple to embark on a treacherous journey to New York with dreams, hopes, and memories in tow.Release Date: Opens Friday, June 25, 2021 in NY and LA (with a national rollout throughout July)Directed by: Heidi EwingScreenplay by: Heidi Ewing and Alan Page ArriagaStarring: Armando Espitia, Christian Vázquez, Michelle Rodríguez, Ángeles Cruz, Raúl Briones, and Arcelia RamírezDistributed by: Sony Pictures ClassicsGenre: DramaRunning Time: 1 hour 51 minutesRated RTRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL 2021 WRAP-UPFeatured Narrative Films:No Man of GodWebsite: TribecaTribeca Film Festival Synopsis: It was a radical new approach to criminal investigations: “profiling.” Through one-on-one discussions with serial offenders, FBI researchers could go much more in-depth. FBI analyst Bill Hagmaier (Elijah Wood), emboldened by this new philosophy, sat down with famed serial killer Ted Bundy (Luke Kirby) for several interviews from 1984-1989 inside Florida State Prison, in hopes of figuring out why Bundy murdered more than 20 victims. What started out as a straightforward informational assignment gradually turned personal for Hagmaier, whose feelings about his charismatic subject grew more complicated with each conversation. Is it possible to empathize with evil?Studies of Ted Bundy's life and crimes have been in vogue lately, but this two-character study from director Amber Sealey is the most sober and psychologically intricate look at the killer's story yet. With a pair of dynamic performances at its center, particularly that of an exceptional Kirby as Bundy, No Man of God is riveting in its intimate chamber piece structure. Sealey and company, including writer Kit Lesser, who based the screenplay on real-life transcripts, don't glamourize the oft-romanticized Bundy; instead, No Man of God deftly balances emotional complexity and clear-eyed truthfulness. —Matt BaroneRelease Date: In theaters and available on demand and digital August 27, 2021Directed by: Amber SealeyScreenplay by: Kit LesserStarring: Elijah Wood, Luke Kirby, Aleksa Palladino, and Robert PatrickDistributed by: RLJE FilmsGenre: Drama, ThrillerRunning Time: 1 hour 40 minutesNot RatedIndia Sweets and SpicesWebsite: TribecaTribeca Film Festival Synopsis: On her summer break from college, outspoken Indian American freshman Alia returns home to her wealthy New Jersey suburb and for the first time pushes back against her parents' pretentious lifestyle. After a year at UCLA, she's eager to trade in the family's lavish Saturday-night dinner parties and the gossiping “aunties” of her community for a more meaningful existence—even if she doesn't quite know what that looks like yet. When Alia meets Varun (Rish Shah), the handsome son of local shopkeepers, she impulsively invites him to her straitlaced mother's upcoming extravagant soiree, and accidentally uncovers a pair of family secrets in the process. In this fresh take on the classic coming of age story, writer-director Geeta Malik brings a tongue in cheek sense of humor and an acute understanding of class privilege to an award winning script. And actress Sophia Ali delivers a charming performance as the rebellious leading lady who confronts her parents' values in order to understand her own evolving identity. —Lucy MukerjeeNo release date yetDirected by: Geeta MalikScreenplay by: Geeta MalikStarring: Sophia Ali, Manisha Koirala, Adil Hussain, Deepti Gupta, Rish Shah, and Ved SapruGenre: Comedy, Drama, RomanceRunning Time: 1 hour 41 minutes12 Mighty OrphansWebsite: Official SiteTribeca Film Festival Synopsis: 12 Mighty Orphans tells the true story of the Mighty Mites, the football team of a Fort Worth orphanage who, during the Great Depression, went from playing without shoes—or even a football—to playing for the Texas state championships. Over the course of their winning season these underdogs and their resilient spirit became an inspiration to their city, state, and an entire nation in need of a rebound, even catching the attention of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The architect of their success was Rusty Russell, a legendary high school coach who shocked his colleagues by giving up a privileged position so he could teach and coach at an orphanage. Few knew Rusty's secret: that he himself was an orphan. Recognizing that his scrawny players couldn't beat the other teams with brawn, Rusty developed innovative strategies that would come to define modern football.Release Date: Opens in Texas Friday, June 11, 2021 and everywhere Friday, June 18, 2021Directed by: Ty RobertsScreenplay by: Ty Roberts, Lane Garrison, Kevin MeyerStarring: Luke Wilson, Vinessa Shaw, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Wayne Knight, Jake Austin Walker, Lane Garrison, Levi Dylan, Jacob Lofland, Treat Williams, and Scott HazeDistributed by: Sony Pictures ClassicsGenre: Drama, History, SportsRunning Time: 1 hour 58 minutesRated PG-13Werewolves WithinWebsite: Official SiteTribeca Film Festival Synopsis: Forest ranger Finn Wheeler (Veep's Sam Richardson) is jazzed about his latest assignment: temporarily living inside The Beaverfield Inn, a cozy, woods-bound nook run by nice folks and frequented by Beaverfield's colorful array of residents, for the duration of a new pipeline construction project. Little does he realize, his timing couldn't be worse. For one, a major snowstorm is set to rid him and the inn's occupants of communication with the outside world. And two, something is on the loose and brutally murdering Beaverfield's denizens—perhaps something lycanthropic. As the body count rises, it's up to Finn to play the reluctant hero and figure what, or who, is shrinking Beaverfield's population.Building on the horror-comedy fun of his 2020 debut, Scare Me (a Shudder Exclusive), director Josh Ruben expands both his storytelling scope and offbeat hilarity quotient with this delightfully macabre whodunit/monster movie, based on Ubisoft's popular VR game of the same name. It's also the perfect leading man vehicle for Richardson, whose lovable everyman charms complement a strong cast of TV comedy fan favorites, including AT&T commercial fixture Milana Vayntrub, Casual's Michaela Watkins and What We Do in the Shadows' Harvey Guillén. —Matt BaroneRelease Date: Opens in theaters and drive-ins Friday, June 25, 2021; Everywhere you rent movies Friday, July 2, 2021Directed by: Josh RubenScreenplay by: Mishna WolffStarring: Sam Richardson, Milana Vayntrub, Michaela Watkins, Cheyenne Jackson, Glenn Fleshler, and Harvey GuillénDistributed by: IFC FilmsGenre: Comedy, Horror, MysteryRunning Time: 1 hour 37 minutesRated RFalse PositiveWebsite: HuluTribeca Film Festival Synopsis: After difficult struggles with fertility, loving couple Lucy (Ilana Glazer) and Adrian (Justin Theroux) seem to have finally found their potential savior in the charming and world-renowned reproductive specialist Dr. Hindle (Pierce Brosnan). But as their dreams begin to come true and hope transforms to happiness, cracks start to appear in the façade of normalcy, sending the now-expectant mother into a spiral of suspicion that threatens her grasp on reality. A clever and chilling look at gender roles and the notion of unconditional trust, False Positive delivers an unexpectedly twisted tale of modern family troubles. Boasting a solid ensemble cast, including a memorable turn from Gretchen Mol as Hindle's loyal nurse, director John Lee has truly found a kindred spirit in leading lady and co-writer Glazer. Longtime collaborators on the acclaimed Broad City, the two have shifted gears entirely here, abandoning the jokes but maintaining the edge for this genre-bending thriller about the perils of parenthood. —Loren HammondsRelease Date: Available on Hulu Friday, June 25, 2021Directed by: John LeeScreenplay by: John Lee and Ilana GlazerStarring: Ilana Glazer, Justin Theroux, Gretchen Mol, Sophia Bush, Zainab Jah, and Pierce BrosnanDistributed by: A24 and HuluGenre: Horror, ThrillerRunning Time: 1 hour 32 minutesRated RFeatured Documentaries:WolfgangWebsite: DisneyTribeca Film Festival Synopsis: From acclaimed filmmaker and Tribeca alum David Gelb (Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Chef's Table) comes another mouthwatering delight of a film about one of the first “celebrity chefs” to rule the scene and a pioneer in the world of California cuisine, Wolfgang Puck. Pushing beyond the sunny, superstar persona, Gelb follows Puck as he revisits his birthplace in Austria, revealing an abusive childhood that pushed him to flee home and fight for a life of his own as a teenager. With Puck steadily gaining life confidence and cooking know-how in his homeland, France and, eventually, America, he would officially launch a storied career in Los Angeles with the opening of the celebrity hot spot of the 80s and 90s, Spago. Though Puck's inventive cuisine has remained the core of his popularity, his charming, energetic persona is what pushed him to a stratosphere of fame that would eventually include countless TV appearances, cookbooks and restaurants that span the globe. Using a wealth of archival material and eye-dazzling cinematography of Puck's truly mouth-watering food, Gelb expertly brings us into the kitchen—and the mind—of this obsessively hard-working and inspirational virtuoso. Be prepared to leave hungry. —Liza DomnitzRelease Date: Available on Disney+ Friday, June 25, 2021Directed by: David GelbWritten by: Brian McGinnFeaturing: Wolfgang Puck, Barbara Lazaroff, Byron Puck, Christina Puck, Nancy Silverton, Evan Funke, Ruth Reichl, Laurie Ochoa, and Michael OvitzDistributed by: Disney+Genre: Biography, Documentary, FoodRunning Time: 1 hour 18 minutesThe Lost LeonardoWebsite: Sony Pictures ClassicsTribeca Film Festival Synopsis: In 2008, a few of the world's most distinguished Leonardo Da Vinci experts gathered around an easel at the National Gallery in London to examine a mysterious painting–an unassuming Salvator Mundi (Latin for Savior of the World)–found in a shady New Orleans auction house, that a select few believed to be a long-forgotten masterwork by Leonardo Da Vinci. That day, Salvator Mundi was authenticated as being the creation of Da Vinci himself, and thus, one of the most beguiling and perplexing stories of the 21st century was set into motion.Unfolding as a gripping, real-life art thriller, The Lost Leonardo pulls back the curtain to uncover the stranger than fiction story behind how a Salvator Mundi painting went from bargain-basement replication to setting the world record as the most expensive painting ever sold at auction, weighing in at an astonishing $450 million. Director Andreas Keofoed positions this story squarely at the intersection of capitalism and myth-making, posing the question: is this multi-million dollar painting actually by Leonardo, or do certain powerful players simply want it to be? The Lost Leonardo detangles how a painting became a pawn in a geopolitical game played by the world's wealthiest and most powerful people, ultimately revealing how vested interests became all-important, and the truth secondary. —Shayna WeingastRelease Date: Opens NY & LA Friday, August 13, 2021Directed by: Andreas KoefoedWritten by: Duska Zagorac, Andreas Dalsgaard, Mark Monroe, Christian Kirk Muff, and Andreas KoefoedFeaturing: Dianne Modestini, Yves Bouvier, Evan Beard, Robert Simon, Alexander Parish, Warren Adelson, Luke Syson, Martin Kemp, Frank Zöllner, Maria Teresa Fiorio, Jacques Franck, Kenny Schachter, Bruce Lamarche, Jerry Saltz, Robert K Wittman, Alexandra Bregman, Georgina Adam, Alison Cole, Bradley Hope, Doug Patteson, Stephane Lacroix, Antoine Harari, Didier Rykner, David D. Kirkpatrick, and Bernd LindemannDistributed by: Sony Pictures ClassicsGenre: Art, DocumentaryRunning Time: 1 hour 35 minutesBitchin': The Sound and Fury of Rick JamesWebsite: TribecaTribeca Film Festival Synopsis: This profile of legendary funk/R&B icon Rick James captures the peaks and valleys of his storied career to reveal a complicated and rebellious soul, driven to share his talent with the world. Known for his unapologetic and charismatic stage presence, James has been celebrated for his massive catalog of such hit songs as "Mary Jane" and "Superfreak." In this definitive portrait, acclaimed filmmaker Sacha Jenkins examines the brain beneath the braids, charting his soaring artistic success and eventual personal decline. Sexuality, race, and the tumultuous stew of American culture all contributed to the transformation of the songwriter born as James Ambrose Johnson into the larger-than-life performer forever known as Rick James. Against a soundtrack that compels you to get out of your seat from the opening moments, Jenkins approaches his subject not with reverence, but instead with indisputable care as he delves into the circumstances that birthed this one-of-a-kind personality. Surprising and enlightening, Jenkins' film still pulls no punches with its exploration of James' tragic obsessions. Comprised of rare archival performances, animation, interviews with family and collaborators and recorded conversations with James himself, this crowd-pleasing film proves the impact that this undeniable force had on American music and popular culture. —Loren Hammonds*Part of the Juneteenth programmingComing soon to ShowtimeDirected by: Sacha JenkinsWritten by: Sacha Jenkins, Steve Rivo, and Jason PollardDistributed by: Showtime NetworksGenre: Documentary, MusicRunning Time: 1 hour 51 minutes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
❤️ Loved it!👎 Meh…Summary transcript: https://www.listory.com/ll/4e3e8d5a3fe62f8392a3841b4de9ee396a8a1ffeOriginal story: https://news.artnet.com/news-pro/kenny-schachter-on-his-overnight-success-in-the-nft-trade-1969403Description: Our columnist is back with his first outing on Artnet News Pro—and, don't you know it, he has some thoughts to share on NFTs.
As much of the art world is beginning to rebound from the pandemic, the art market got a major shot in the arm itself: in little more than a week, New York's big three auction houses held a spate of absolutely mammoth art sales, bringing in a cumulative $1.3 billion and showing, pretty unequivocally, that the art business is back, baby. But, to me at least, one of the most remarkable things about these historic sales was that Artnet News's veteran market columnist Kenny Schachter didn't seem to care, or even pay them much mind. That's because his mind has been transported to a distant planet, far away. That planet is called NFTs. Yes, Kenny has become obsessed with non-fungible tokens, and perhaps more to the point, the possibilities that they open up for the hidebound way the art world works. Since earlier this year, he has written a series of columns on NFTs that have been pretty astonishing, and, in inimitable Kenny fashion, he's made some significant money off this novel marketplace along the way. This week, we just published the latest of this series as Kenny's big debut behind our new premium Artnet News Pro membership, which we launched to provide analyst-calibre coverage for people who want to participate in the art market. On this week's episode, Kenny joins the show, in all his glory, to discuss (among other things) his career trajectory, his latest column, and how NFTs have changed his life.
As much of the art world is beginning to rebound from the pandemic, the art market got a major shot in the arm itself: in little more than a week, New York’s big three auction houses held a spate of absolutely mammoth art sales, bringing in a cumulative $1.3 billion and showing, pretty unequivocally, that the art business is back, baby.
