A masterpiece of movies, On the Waterfront, came out 70 years ago, and this week the writer Stephen Rebello reveals how the classic film almost did not get made due to a feud between Marlon Brando and director Elia Kazan. Then John Beck reports on foreign diplomats who turn to bootlegging, drug dealing, and more in order to keep the lights on at their consulates. And on the subject of foreign affairs and cloak-and-dagger exploits, Aatish Taseer joins us from Tokyo with an incredible yarn. It's the story of how, in the 1990s, the Iranian government traded a painting by Willem de Kooning for a priceless copy of an illustrated manuscript—and how the secret buyer of the painting was David Geffen.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Marcado en un principio por John Cage, de quien incorpora la aleatoriedad y los sistemas alternativos de notación musical, el compositor norteamericano evoluciona hacia obras cada vez más extensas y minimalistas que requieren—o proponen—la suspensión del tiempo._____Has escuchadoNeither (1977) / textos de Samuel Beckett.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are campaigning in swing states, with just two days to go before America decides its next president. Newshour's James Coomarasamy is in Milwaulkee, a swing state and visits a food bank in Wisconsin. We also hear what issues are important to people. Also on the programme, Angry residents are hostile towards King Felipe of Spain as he arrives in Valencia badly hit by recent floods. And we hear about the deal that saw one of the greatest treasures in Persian art brought back to Tehran: The Book of King, Shahnameh, exchanged for a de Kooning painting.(Photo: Voters participate in early voting at Fulton County's C.T.

In this thought-provoking episode of Exploring Art Podcast, host Emily and panelists Bianca and Anthony delve into the complexities of collaboration and the nature of art through Robert Rauschenberg's iconic work, Erased de Kooning Drawing. They explore the cultural context of the late 1950s New York art scene, highlighting the tension between Abstract Expressionism and Rauschenberg's Neo-Dada approach. The discussion covers Rauschenberg's bold decision to erase a drawing by established artist Willem de Kooning, raising philosophical questions about authorship, value, and creation.
In episode 904 of the “Exploring Art Podcast” we will delve into Robert Rauschenberg's groundbreaking work, Erased de Kooning Drawing, and its profound implications for the art world. Join us as we explore the intricate materials and techniques that define both de Kooning's original piece and Rauschenberg's act of erasure.
For the 30th episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Gary Garrels, curator of the exhibition “Willem de Kooning and Italy” and editor of the associated catalogue, published by Marsilio Arte and distributed internationally by Artbook D.A.P..In the interview, Gary provides insight into Willem de Kooning's engagement with Italy in the 1950s and early 1960s, sharing how the artist was “steeped in the history” of the place. The book and the conversation between Gary and Megan zero in on a crucial, but unexplored, period in de Kooning's career.“Willem de Kooning and Italy” is a beautifully illustrated accompaniment to the exhibition at Gallerie dell'Accademia di Venezia (closes September 15, 2024). The exhibition is curated by art historian Gary Garrels and Anish Kapoor Foundation director Mario Codognato, and is the first to analyze the impact of de Kooning's Italian sojourns on his later production. Bringing together 75 works belonging to the period from the late 1950s to the 1980s, such as the famous “Door to the River,” “A Tree in Naples,” and “Villa Borghese,” painted in 1960 in New York, it is the largest de Kooning retrospective ever organized in Italy.Gary Garrels is a highly respected and influential curator for more than thirty-five years at major museums in the United States, including: Dia Art Foundation, New York, Director of Programmes, 1987-1991; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Senior Curator, 1991-1993; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, 1993-2000; Museum of Modern Art, New York, Chief Curator, Department of Drawings and Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, 2000-2005; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, Chief Curator and Deputy Director of Exhibitions and Public Programmes, 2005-2008; and again at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, as Senior Curator of Painting and Sculpture, 2008- 2020. He is currently an independent curator living and working in New York, focused on projects of special interest.PURCHASE THE BOOK: In Italy: Marsilio Arte.

For the 29th episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Richard Shiff, art historian and author of “Writing after Art,” published by David Zwirner Books. Richard shares how he comes to understand an artist's work in a way that will inspire us to observe and understand artists and their processes more fully.“Writing after Art” is an expansive anthology of Richard Shiff's most influential writings, many of which have shaped the art world's understanding of 20th and 21st century artists. These writings first appeared in exhibition catalogs for institutions including the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Tate Modern, and they spotlight modern masters such as Willem de Kooning, Marlene Dumas, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Barnett Newman, Pablo Picasso, Bridget Riley and Peter Saul.Richard Shiff is the Effie Marie Cain Regents Chair in Art at The University of Texas at Austin. His interests range broadly across the field of modern and contemporary art. His publications include Barnett Newman: A Catalogue Raisonné (coauthored, 2004), Doubt (2008), Between Sense and de Kooning (2011), Ellsworth Kelly: New York Drawings 1954–1962 (2014), Joel Shapiro: Sculpture and Works on Paper 1969–2019 (2020), and Sensuous Thoughts: Essays on the Work of Donald Judd (2020).

This year is the 50th anniversary of Monumenta, a ground-breaking collection of outdoor sculptures by 40 different artists. Some of those names included Willem de Kooning, Christo, and Barbara Hepworth. It was an ambitious exhibit that didn't get much attention from the art world at first, but it's now recognized for its influence on large-scale public art. Morning host Luis Hernandez recently spoke with Jim Donahue, Curator of Historic Landscapes and Horticulture at Newport Mansions, which is hosting a symposium on Monumenta this Saturday.
Bienvenidos a un nuevo directo desde Twitter para luego emitirlo en Ivoox junto a los casi 950 audios que tenemos allí publicados. Una gran audioteca que junto con el blog tecnicopreocupado punto com y los videos publicados en Youtube, Odysee, Bitchute y Ugetube forman una enorme hemeroteca que de momento sigue a disposición de todos de forma totalmente altruista. Recuerden que tengo un crowfunding para recaudar dinero para mi defensa judicial, la cual, creanme que la necesito y ojala no fuera así. Pero ese tema me produce demasiada quemazón y estamos en verano, a punto de entrar en Agosto. Se han dado cuenta de que si observan las puestas de Sol o las salidas de este durante todo el año van a descubrir el movimiento hacia atrás y hacia adelante que recrea a un ocho. Aunque no podamos ver esta figura cuando esta bajo el horizonte o el mar pero nos aparecerá si tomamos una fotografía del Sol en el cielo desde el mismo punto y a la misma hora todos los días. Tiene dos extremos, uno en el solsticio de verano en junio y otro en el solsticio de invierno en diciembre. Se llama técnicamente Analema. En astronomía, el analema, del griego «pedestal de un reloj de sol» es la curva que describe el Sol en el cielo si todos los días del año se lo observa a la misma hora del día (huso horario) y desde el mismo lugar de observación. Por eso los relojes de arena se empezaron a representar con la forma de un 8. Es una de tantas cosas sabias del pasado que hemos ido desaprendiendo. En la descripción del podcast os dejaremos un precioso video tomado en Canarias donde vemos las puestas de Sol mirando hacia el Teide. Poco a poco vamos perdiendo el conocimiento ancestral y nos cargamos de morralla inservible. Porque aunque el tramposo de Darwin le haya vendido a la ciencia que estamos evolucionando, la verdad, es que si miramos a nuestro alrededor todo es mas chabacano, triste, feo, desamparado y poco creativo. El arte ha involucionado hacia una copia barata, cutre e incluso sucia de lo que acostumbraba ser. Solo es necesario ponerle el marchamo de arte a cualquier cosa y de repente se convierte en arte. Tal y como podemos leer en la biografía de Marcel Duchamp, un ajedrecista y artista que pululó por las vanguardias de principios del siglo XX que trajeron el dadaísmo: “Duchamp es uno de los principales valedores de la creación artística como resultado de un puro ejercicio de la voluntad, sin necesidad estricta de formación, preparación o talento.” Y es que talento, lo que se dice talento no es necesario para comprar un urinario en 1917, ponerle la firma de un tal R. Mutt en el borde inferior y pretender exponerlo en una exposición de la Sociedad de artistas independientes en Nueva York donde mas de 20.000 personas hubieran visto “su meada”. Al final, no le dejaron exponerlo, pero esto mas que ser una contrariedad fue el detonante para que Alfred Stieglitz la fotografiase para la posteridad. Desde luego estamos hablando del urinario más famoso del mundo. Lo que vino después ya lo conocemos, cualquier gilipollas puede declararse artista y pintar, modelar o construir cosas con cualquier parte de su cuerpo. Desde globos de pintura arrojados desde los anos o las vaginas del artista, pinceles fálicos, o insertados en cualquier agujero corporal, pintura a través de la estampación del cuerpo desnudo del artista o, en fin, cualquier cosa que se le ocurra al o la gilipollas de turno sin necesidad estricta de formación, preparación o talento. En el periódico The Independent escribe Frances Stonor Saunders: “Durante décadas, en los círculos artísticos, esto fue un rumor o una broma, pero ahora se ha confirmado como un hecho. La CIA utilizó el arte moderno estadounidense, incluidas las obras de artistas como Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning y Mark Rothko, como arma en la Guerra Fría. A la manera de un príncipe renacentista, pero actuando en secreto, la CIA promovió y promovió la pintura expresionista abstracta estadounidense en todo el mundo durante más de 20 años.” Esto lo vimos por ejemplo al leer el informe Iron Mountain de 1967 donde se nos dice que las elites ya están desarrollando un tipo de arte determinado: “Resulta interesante observar que el trabajo correspondiente a una estética libre de valores de esta naturaleza ya se está realizando hoy en los crecientes experimentos artísticos que carecen de contenido, posiblemente anticipando así la venida de un mundo sin conflictos. Se ha desarrollado un culto alrededor de un nuevo determinismo cultural que propone que la forma tecnológica de la expresión cultural determina sus valores en lugar de hacerlo a través de un contenido con un significado ostensible.” Traduzco. “Estética libre de valores”, “experimentos artísticos que carecen de contenido” y “contenido que no tenga significado ostensible” significa “crear cualquier mierda” y hacerla pasar por arte para seguir entreteniendo a los dormidos. Creanme que hay magníficos creadores en todos los campos artísticos y por supuesto son relegados al ostracismo mientras suben al estrellato a desgraciados abrazafarolas dedostorcidos y uñas largas. Ni que decir que las películas son copias de otras películas que a la vez fueron obras maestras incluso del cine mudo. Todo es una copia de una copia y al final en ese trajín de copias y pegas se pierde la verdadera esencia que nos trasmitían aquellos filmes, aquellas viejas obras de arte que la mayoría de las veces se basaban en buenas novelas o en obras inmortales de la mitología. En el mundo de la música ocurre lo mismo, todo se degrada a una velocidad que hace imposible conectar con lo que escuchan las nuevas generaciones. El reguetón no ceja en parir lechones. Supuestos cantantes mas cantamañanas que la anterior camada. Nos están obligando a involucionar de tanto tragar mierda. Y ese, desde luego, es uno de los objetivos que tienen las elites para con el pueblo llano. Con todos nosotros a los que nos denominan masa sucia, a veces incluso los muertos porque realmente no reaccionamos. Aunque cada vez más se aprecia una reacción contraria a lo que pretenden las elites. Esto lo hemos visto en la inauguración de los juegos olímpicos de Paris, o más bien deberíamos llamarles los primeros juegos Woke olímpicos de la historia. Finalmente han tenido que retirar de las plataformas para terminar pidiendo perdón. Curiosamente la portavoz de los juegos olímpicos que pidió perdón se llama Anne Descamps, sí, un apellido muy parecido a aquel del urinario. Vivimos en un mundo woke, aunque los muy sibilinos de los que mandan le han dado una definición muy chula a esa palabreja. Woke significa «despierto» en inglés y es un término que, originado en los Estados Unidos, inicialmente se usaba para referirse a quienes se enfrentan o se mantienen alerta frente al racismo. “Tócate los cojones” que diría mi abuela. Los wokes son los despiertos y los que los criticamos somos los dormidos…ja, ja, ja, el mundo al revés. Puro satanismo que coloca a la mierda en el altar y degrada a lo puro y a la vida al cubo de la basura. Mierda, sí. Eso ha sido esta enorme mierda de inauguración olímpica en un río Sena lleno de mierda hasta los topes. Hubo incluso una quedada para inundar de heces el río antes de la celebración de estos juegos. No sé si se llevaría a cabo, pero da igual, no se puede limpiar en 5 minutos lo que se ha ensuciado durante años. Hemos podido ver sobretodo unas claras referencias a la masonería y burlas hacia la religión católica y más concretamente contra el cristianismo. Casualmente en las 33 olimpiadas, numero muy importante dentro de la masonería. No nos debería de sorprender si el coreógrafo principal, Thomas Jolly, es de la religión de los recaudadores de impuestos. Bueno, él e imagino que gran parte del elenco de trans, bailarines con un huevo colgando y demás purria que intentaba imitar la última cena de Da Vinci en vez de bajo la luz divina de Cristo bajo tres filas de 6 fluorescentes. Sí, el 666 estuvo bien presente en todo esto, cada tramo de ese puente tenia sus 6 fluorescentes. La figura femenina elegida para representar a Cristo fue la obesa mórbida y DJ B. B. (diremos las iniciales ya que ha terminado por denunciar a troche y moche a todos los que la han criticado). Por supuesto, también es de la religión de los recaudadores de impuestos. Las 12 escenas guionizadas por Jolly, el jovial recaudador, describirían un pais rico en diversidad, inclusivo, no una Francia, sino varias Francias, así como un mundo entero reunido. En clara alusión a los doce apóstoles que se convierten así en las doce Francias, en los 12 despojos de un pais soberano lobotomizado y sometido a la involución. Vimos artistas con la cabeza cortada fingiendo ser Maria Antonieta en horario infantil, bailarines negros bailando, bueno, estrujando a niñas de ocho años, trans de todos los colores y modelos, fuegos artificiales simulando ser sangre palaciega y todo tipo de luces realizando figuras que nos recuerdan a la escuadra y el compás masónico o al sigilo de Lucifer. También los vimos bailando sincopadamente en el ajedrezado masónico y colapsando en el piso iluminado de rojo como si de una repentinitis se tratase. Y es que lo que comenzaba con el izado de la bandera olímpica del revés no podia augurar nada bueno. Ya saben que dentro del satanismo hacer las cosas del revés está bien visto, por eso muchas camisetas satánicas se cosen con las costuras por fuera. Como guinda del pastel debemos hablar del caballo pálido que trotó por encima de las aguas del Sena simulando a Cristo pero trayendo un mensaje claro que podemos leer en Apocalipsis 6:8 “Miré, y he aquí un caballo amarillo, y el que lo montaba tenía por nombre Muerte, y el Hades le seguía; y le fue dada potestad sobre la cuarta parte de la tierra, para matar con espada, con hambre, con mortandad, y con las fieras de la tierra.” Sí, amigos, las élites psicopatocraticas no solo nos quieren pervertir y degradar haciendo que involucionemos sino que nos quieren directamente asesinar. Sus mentes eugenistas ven demasiadas almas poblando “su” Tierra. Esta gentuza ha probado la sangre y conoce su sabor dulzón. Y quiere más y más rápido. A ellos les importa una mierda que el camino al infierno sea muy corto y la vuelta sin embargo dure toda la eternidad. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: Ira @Genes72 ….

Al final, no le dejaron exponerlo, pero esto mas que ser una contrariedad fue el detonante para que Alfred Stieglitz la fotografiase para la posteridad. Desde luego estamos hablando del urinario más famoso del mundo. Lo que vino después ya lo conocemos, cualquier gilipollas puede declararse artista y pintar, modelar o construir cosas con cualquier parte de su cuerpo. Desde globos de pintura arrojados desde los anos o las vaginas del artista, pinceles fálicos, o insertados en cualquier agujero corporal, pintura a través de la estampación del cuerpo desnudo del artista o, en fin, cualquier cosa que se le ocurra al o la gilipollas de turno sin necesidad estricta de formación, preparación o talento. En el periódico The Independent escribe Frances Stonor Saunders: “Durante décadas, en los círculos artísticos, esto fue un rumor o una broma, pero ahora se ha confirmado como un hecho. La CIA utilizó el arte moderno estadounidense, incluidas las obras de artistas como Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning y Mark Rothko, como arma en la Guerra Fría. A la manera de un príncipe renacentista, pero actuando en secreto, la CIA promovió y promovió la pintura expresionista abstracta estadounidense en todo el mundo durante más de 20 años.” Esto lo vimos por ejemplo al leer el informe Iron Mountain de 1967 donde se nos dice que las elites ya están desarrollando un tipo de arte determinado: “Resulta interesante observar que el trabajo correspondiente a una estética libre de valores de esta naturaleza ya se está realizando hoy en los crecientes experimentos artísticos que carecen de contenido, posiblemente anticipando así la venida de un mundo sin conflictos. Se ha desarrollado un culto alrededor de un nuevo determinismo cultural que propone que la forma tecnológica de la expresión cultural determina sus valores en lugar de hacerlo a través de un contenido con un significado ostensible.” Traduzco. “Estética libre de valores”, “experimentos artísticos que carecen de contenido” y “contenido que no tenga significado ostensible” significa “crear cualquier mierda” y hacerla pasar por arte para seguir entreteniendo a los dormidos. Creanme que hay magníficos creadores en todos los campos artísticos y por supuesto son relegados al ostracismo mientras suben al estrellato a desgraciados abrazafarolas dedostorcidos y uñas largas. Ni que decir que las películas son copias de otras películas que a la vez fueron obras maestras incluso del cine mudo. Todo es una copia de una copia y al final en ese trajín de copias y pegas se pierde la verdadera esencia que nos trasmitían aquellos filmes, aquellas viejas obras de arte que la mayoría de las veces se basaban en buenas novelas o en obras inmortales de la mitología. En el mundo de la música ocurre lo mismo, todo se degrada a una velocidad que hace imposible conectar con lo que escuchan las nuevas generaciones. El reguetón no ceja en parir lechones. Supuestos cantantes mas cantamañanas que la anterior camada. Nos están obligando a involucionar de tanto tragar mierda. Y ese, desde luego, es uno de los objetivos que tienen las elites para con el pueblo llano. Con todos nosotros a los que nos denominan masa sucia, a veces incluso los muertos porque realmente no reaccionamos. Aunque cada vez más se aprecia una reacción contraria a lo que pretenden las elites. Esto lo hemos visto en la inauguración de los juegos olímpicos de Paris, o más bien deberíamos llamarles los primeros juegos Woke olímpicos de la historia. Finalmente han tenido que retirar de las plataformas para terminar pidiendo perdón. Curiosamente la portavoz de los juegos olímpicos que pidió perdón se llama Anne Descamps, sí, un apellido muy parecido a aquel del urinario. Vivimos en un mundo woke, aunque los muy sibilinos de los que mandan le han dado una definición muy chula a esa palabreja. Woke significa «despierto» en inglés y es un término que, originado en los Estados Unidos, inicialmente se usaba para referirse a quienes se enfrentan o se mantienen alerta frente al racismo. “Tócate los cojones” que diría mi abuela. Los wokes son los despiertos y los que los criticamos somos los dormidos…ja, ja, ja, el mundo al revés. Puro satanismo que coloca a la mierda en el altar y degrada a lo puro y a la vida al cubo de la basura. Mierda, sí. Eso ha sido esta enorme mierda de inauguración olímpica en un río Sena lleno de mierda hasta los topes. Hubo incluso una quedada para inundar de heces el río antes de la celebración de estos juegos. No sé si se llevaría a cabo, pero da igual, no se puede limpiar en 5 minutos lo que se ha ensuciado durante años. Hemos podido ver sobretodo unas claras referencias a la masonería y burlas hacia la religión católica y más concretamente contra el cristianismo. Casualmente en las 33 olimpiadas, numero muy importante dentro de la masonería. No nos debería de sorprender si el coreógrafo principal, Thomas Jolly, es de la religión de los recaudadores de impuestos. Bueno, él e imagino que gran parte del elenco de trans, bailarines con un huevo colgando y demás purria que intentaba imitar la última cena de Da Vinci en vez de bajo la luz divina de Cristo bajo tres filas de 6 fluorescentes. Sí, el 666 estuvo bien presente en todo esto, cada tramo de ese puente tenia sus 6 fluorescentes. La figura femenina elegida para representar a Cristo fue la obesa mórbida y DJ B. B. (diremos las iniciales ya que ha terminado por denunciar a troche y moche a todos los que la han criticado). Por supuesto, también es de la religión de los recaudadores de impuestos. Las 12 escenas guionizadas por Jolly, el jovial recaudador, describirían un pais rico en diversidad, inclusivo, no una Francia, sino varias Francias, así como un mundo entero reunido. En clara alusión a los doce apóstoles que se convierten así en las doce Francias, en los 12 despojos de un pais soberano lobotomizado y sometido a la involución. Vimos artistas con la cabeza cortada fingiendo ser Maria Antonieta en horario infantil, bailarines negros bailando, bueno, estrujando a niñas de ocho años, trans de todos los colores y modelos, fuegos artificiales simulando ser sangre palaciega y todo tipo de luces realizando figuras que nos recuerdan a la escuadra y el compás masónico o al sigilo de Lucifer. También los vimos bailando sincopadamente en el ajedrezado masónico y colapsando en el piso iluminado de rojo como si de una repentinitis se tratase. Y es que lo que comenzaba con el izado de la bandera olímpica del revés no podia augurar nada bueno. Ya saben que dentro del satanismo hacer las cosas del revés está bien visto, por eso muchas camisetas satánicas se cosen con las costuras por fuera. Como guinda del pastel debemos hablar del caballo pálido que trotó por encima de las aguas del Sena simulando a Cristo pero trayendo un mensaje claro que podemos leer en Apocalipsis 6:8 “Miré, y he aquí un caballo amarillo, y el que lo montaba tenía por nombre Muerte, y el Hades le seguía; y le fue dada potestad sobre la cuarta parte de la tierra, para matar con espada, con hambre, con mortandad, y con las fieras de la tierra.” Sí, amigos, las élites psicopatocraticas no solo nos quieren pervertir y degradar haciendo que involucionemos sino que nos quieren directamente asesinar. Sus mentes eugenistas ven demasiadas almas poblando “su” Tierra. Esta gentuza ha probado la sangre y conoce su sabor dulzón. Y quiere más y más rápido. A ellos les importa una mierda que el camino al infierno sea muy corto y la vuelta sin embargo dure toda la eternidad. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Invitados: Ira @Genes72 ….

The Case of Optimism - Part 3 - Ep #63Each year I record one episode of this podcast that makes the case for why we should be optimistic. This is part 3. (Click here for part 1 and here for part 2) There are a lot of disturbing events and trends that are happening in the world at present and yet despite all of these concerns I'll argue the case for why we should remain optimistic about our future.In this episode...The climate is actually great [6:18]How Happy Are Americans? [14:17]How Americans are missing out on billions [16:23]This episode is airing in June of 2024 and we are starting to see some market volatility of late. That can create a lot of fear in the hearts of investors. Add to that a war that continues to rage in Europe, Add to that a war that continues to rage in Europe, and finally add to that a presidential election this November where a solid majority of people overwhelmingly don't want either candidate to be president. There is a lot we can worry about but yet despite all of these concerns we really should remain optimistic. Let's look at some of the evidence as to what's so great:The first is to consider the state of democracy. We are in an election year where we are told that our democracy is at stake, and you get that from leaders and followers of both political parties. For this reason the upcoming presidential election is one of investors chief concerns. there certainly has been more challenges to the pillars of democracy in the USA and also in other countries around the world but it's much wiser to step back and take a longer view of the state of democracy. In 1976 just 23% of countries were legitimate electoral democracies but it's 51% now. That is remarkable progress. The brutal terrorist attacks perpetuated by Hamas on October 7th, were absolutely sickening. Iran fired 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles but due to the marvels of technology and the help of allies 99% of them were intercepted or eliminated.I recently read the book “Unsettled” by Steven E Kooning, The subtitle of the books is this “What climate science tells us, what it doesn't, and why it matters”. Dr. Kooning notes that heat waves in the US are now no more common than they were in 1900 and that the warmest temperatures in the US have not risen in the past 50 years. Weather-fixated television news would make us all think that disasters are getting worse. They're not. Around 1900, 4.5 percent of the land area of the world would burn every year. Over the last century, this declined to 3.2 percent. In the previous two decades, satellites have shown further decline — in 2021, just 2.5 percent burned.Here's additional details on how far we have come: Global poverty rates have been reduced by 50% in the past 20 years. A hundred years ago, three-quarters of the world's population lived in extreme poverty. Today, it's less than 10%. Human life expectancy has doubled over the past century, from 36 years in 1920 to more than 72 years today. Americans fell to 23rd place in happiness, down from 15th a year ago, according to data collected in the Gallup World Poll for the World Happiness Report 2024. In the U.S., self-reported happiness has fallen in all age groups, but especially among young adults. Americans 30 and younger ranked 62nd globally in well-being. If you want to know how great you have it, you should really travel more to third world countries. What we have here in America, especially the freedoms provided by the inspired...

Episode No. 651 features art historian Richard Shiff, curator and art historian Michelle White, and a clip from Kirk Varnedoe's 2003 National Gallery of Art Mellon Lectures. Serra died last month at age 85. He may be the most honored sculptor of the post-war era. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, which holds the most important institutional collection of his art, has produced Serra retrospectives in 1986 and 2007. The Menil Collection organized a drawings retrospective in 2011; it traveled to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Serra's hometown museum. The most extensive survey of Serra's films and videotapes was presented by the Kunstmuseum Basel in 2017. Serra was a guest on Episode No. 18 of this program. Shiff is a professor at the University of Texas at Austin and the director of the Center for the Study of Modernism. He has written or contributed to books on Barnett Newman, Willem de Kooning, Donald Judd, and Serra, including "Forged Steel," which was published by Steidl and David Zwirner Books in 2016. White is a curator at the Menil Collection. With Bernice Rose and Gary Garrels she curated the 2011 Serra drawings retrospective. Kirk Varnedoe was the chief curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York from 1988 to 2001. He delivered the 2003 Mellon Lectures at the National Gallery of Art on the subject "Pictures of Nothing: Abstract Art Since Pollock."
Despite its short lifespan, Black Mountain College (BMC) left a lasting legacy as an influential pioneering arts institution that challenged traditional academic structures and fostered a unique community of creative thinkers. Founded in 1933 just 20 minutes outside of Asheville, NC, the college emphasized holistic learning and the study of art as central tenets of its educational philosophy. While BMC closed in 1957 due to funding issues, many of its faculty and students were or would become influential in the arts, including Josef and Anni Albers, Elaine and Willem de Kooning, John Cage, Ray Johnson, Robert Motherwell, Robert Rauschenberg, and Cy Twombly. In today's special crossover episode from our friends at ArtsvilleUSA, we welcome Kate Averett Anderson, a writer, curator, staff historian, project coordinator, and board member at the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center (BMCM+AC). The museum works to preserve the legacy of educational and artistic innovation of BMC through exhibitions, conservation, educational events, and public programs. “It's not about having a gallery space where you walk in and you go, ‘Here is the history of Black Mountain College from beginning to end,” says Kate. “You can come in and have hands-on experiences with different exhibitions that tell a lot of different stories.”In this episode, you'll discover the fascinating connections between BMC and the iconic Bauhaus movement, relive the vibrant atmosphere of the college's legendary parties, and uncover the pivotal role of the BMCM+AC in keeping BMC's spirit alive. From exploring historical parallels to celebrating the creative freedom that BMC championed, this episode offers valuable insight into the birthplace of the American avant-garde. “[Black Mountain College] was a haven for a lot of people,” says Kate. “It was a place where a lot of people had the freedom and ability to explore different elements of their identity.” Key Points From This Episode:An introduction to Kate, her career journey, and her role at BMCM+AC.The origin story of BMC (which starts with a scandal, like all good stories do).Insight into founder John A.

Alex Katz talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Katz, born in Brooklyn in 1927, is one of the most distinctive and influential painters of recent decades. Since he began making art in the 1940s, he has aimed to paint what he has called “the now”: to distil fleeting visual experiences into timeless art. It might be a spark of interaction between friends or family, the play of light across water, a field of grass or between the leaves of a tree, the movements of dancers, the electric illumination of an office building at night, or—more than anything else—stolen glances, everyday gestures and intimate exchanges with his wife Ada, who he has painted more than 1,000 times since they married in 1958. From the start, Katz has aimed to match what he calls the “muscularity” of the Abstract Expressionist artists that were dominant in New York when he emerged onto the art scene there in the 1950s, while never giving up on observed reality. He has said “the optical element is the most important thing to me”. He discusses the early influence of Paul Cezanne, the enduring power of his forebears, from Giotto to Rubens and Willem de Kooning, and his admiration for artists as diverse as Utamaro, Martha Diamond and Chantal Joffe. He reflects on the “emotional extension” of the poet Frank O'Hara and his interest in jazz maestros like Pres and Charlie Parker. Plus, he answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Alex Katz: Claire, Grass and Water, Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venice, Italy, 17 April-29 September; Alex Katz: Wedding Dresses, Portland Museum of Art, Portland, Maine, US, until 2 June; Alex Katz: Collaborations with Poets, The Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio, 15 September-15 November.

The Bay was painted in 1963 as Frankenthaler had refined her soak and stain process. While Mountains and Sea was made with diluted oil paints, The Bay is acrylic on unprimed canvas. She had found that using acrylics gave her greater control over the viscosity or how fluid the paint was. As I look at The Bay, the title indicates a landscape and the brightness, the organic shapes of blue and green give me a sense of a Bay, but it feels like it is more about a happy, contented sort of tone. There is movement, but it seems gentle like sitting out on a boat drifting in calm waters. The Bay represents a different sort of take on Abstract Expressionism. While many followed Jackson Pollock's and Willem de Kooning's aggressive and agsty style, Helen Frankenthaler's color fields are more gentle and at peace. Her work was a breath of fresh air showing that painting could reduce art to fundamental elements in line with esoteric modernist philosophy and still be beautiful and joyous.

My name is Austin Adams. And thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we have some wild topics to get through. And I'm excited for it. So the very first topic that we're going to talk about today is going to be that the Pentagon actually responded to the idea that Taylor Swift Is a PSYOP. So we'll look at what the response was. And that will actually look at the history of this because the fundamental idea around that is that there's a, uh, forces that be within our government that want to manipulate the art within our culture in order to influence the culture itself. And so we'll look at the history of that, whether it be Operation Mockingbird by the CIA, whether it be the CIA teaming up with certain artists during the cold war era, we'll look at all of that together. Then. We'll jump into the next topic, which is going to be that there was some pretty shady stuff found in New York, which actually ended up being an underground tunnel underneath a Jewish synagogue, I believe. So. We'll look at that and why it's pretty, pretty crazy stuff. So there's a couple of theories on it. We'll actually dive into the history of the specific group, because the specific group that we're talking about is a little bit different than your average, uh, Practicer of Judaism. Um, so we will look at that as well. And then we will dive into some breaking news here, which is that the United States. In hand in hand with the, uh, with Britain have the UK have actually, uh, conducted operations overseas against Houthi rebels, which some believe may be the spark of a war against. So we'll look at the history of that as well. So all of that more, but first I need you to go ahead and subscribe. If this is your first time, I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart, subscribe. And if you are here for your second time, third time around. 100th time, whatever, because we're actually about to hit that 100th episode. I believe we're on episode 96 right now, which is pretty wild. But thank you for being here. I appreciate you. I love doing this for you guys. Uh, we'll have some cool stuff coming up. Some interviews, some really awesome things that I am working on in the background. So thank you for being here. Leave a five star review and let's jump into it. The Adams archive. Alright, so the very first topic that we're going to discuss today is going to be that the Pentagon actually responded to the idea that Taylor Swift is a PSYOP. Now personally. I think this probably couldn't be more accurate. And so the reason that I think this, I think this is actually a lot of a part of the public psyche today surrounding Taylor Swift. We see everything that's happening with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey and Pfizer and her recently saying that she believes that Joe Biden has done a great job and will continue to do a great job. And he's exactly what our country needs right now to stop the divisiveness like That the only way that you are saying such a thing, even if you voted for Biden and you wholeheartedly believed in him at the very beginning of this, uh, I don't think there's a person out there who is not either protecting their, their ego by, you know, not admitting that they are wrong or, uh, or Are being paid off and the likelihood that you're being paid off if you're a multi whatever billionaire this Taylor Swift is at this time and a super famous actor, actress, musician, artist, whatever is probably pretty, pretty high if you're still sitting there banging the drum of Joe Biden, or you're just worried about not getting another job again. So you don't have to worry You go along with the, the river that is Hollywood. So it's, it's, it's crazy to see how far these people can go. So here we go. Let's go ahead and read this article. This article comes from the Post Millennial and it is titled, let me go ahead and pull it up here for you. It is titled, Pentagon Claims Taylor Swift PSYOP Speculation is a Conspiracy Theory. Hmm. Okay, you have my back. Attention. All right. This article says after Jesse water show on Tuesday, where he said the government has been turning Taylor Swift into an asset through a Psy op Pentagon spokesperson, Sabrina sign has denied the claim. An idea that first came from human events, senior editor, Jack Posobiec quoting from one of Swift songs and the statement to politics sign said, as for this conspiracy theory, we are going to shake it off. Wow, catchy. She continued to make other Taylor Swift puns in her statement, which stated, but that does highlight that we still need Congress to approve other supplemental budget requests as Swift Lee as possible so that we can be out of the woods with potential fiscal concerns. Haha. On December 6th, 2023. Right after Taylor Swift won the Time's Person of the Year award, Posobiec posted to Axe, the Taylor Swift girlboss psyop has been fully activated in her hand selected vaccine show boyfriend to dink lifestyle to her upcoming 2024 voter operation for Democrats on abortion rights. It's all coming. Uh, and that was in response to the Time Person of the Year being Taylor Swift. And I'm pretty sure that used to be Man of the Year? And now it's person of the year. I don't know. Pretty sure I heard that following the post ax Posobiec had Evita Duffy on his show, where they talked about why Swift could rally support for president Joe Biden in the 2024 election year. She's a girl boss. She has lots of failed relationships where she blames the man every time. Duffy then asked, why are we pushing Taylor Swift? Here comes a clip from Jack Posobiec. Uh, and let's go ahead and watch it here. Evita Duffy from the Federalists joins us now. Evita, they've just named Taylor Swift the, uh, you know, she's, that's basically her song that was used for that ad, which is a mix of Taylor Swift and Barbie, just named Taylor Swift times person of the year, uh, I was out about a month ago. You had a great show where he talked about the Taylor Swift army coming online for the 2024 election. Is this at what we're seeing now? Are they activating The Taylor Swift psyop. Yeah, it's not. It's not just happening now. This has been happening for pretty much a year. They've been pushing Taylor Swift on us. The corporate media has these articles fawning over her. She's like the greatest thing that's ever happened to humanity. Meanwhile, her music's pretty mid. Um, if you, it's actually something actually to break down of her music and, uh, the melodies, she has like the same melody progressions over 20, over 20 different songs. Um, she's always complaining about the same melodies. Okay, I'm going to have to question how old this girl is. If you're going to use the word mid, you better have been born pre or post 2000. You better be under the age of 23. If you're going to use the word mid, I'll just leave it at that. Anyways, I actually agree with it. So so if you understand what tick tock did when tick tock First started, TikTok artificially inflated the views, at least this is the idea that people have been talking about, is it took a few select amount of influencers and it artificially inflated the views that they were getting on the platform. Those people then, who felt like they were a big deal, went and talked to people about it and told people how many views they were getting on TikTok. As a result, a bunch of people fled into TikTok. And so. What they've and they cared about the original a few official people that got their views artificially inflated I think one of the names of the girls is I don't know There was one girl that started tick tock as like the tick tock girl and now nobody really cares about her, right? She just did like a dance and whatever and then all of a sudden she got like a billion views And so the way that they did that is they artificially inflated the views they artificially created celebrity And then they made those celebrities influence Be valued by the mass public, right? And so I think that that's exactly what happens with Taylor Swift here, I believe, because Her music to be fair is pretty mid. Although I am cannot say that with a straight face and never will But Taylor Swift's music is garbage. It's terrible. She's a great Performer and by performer, I mean she has a great team of people around her with fireworks and laser shows and All of that, but I did Taylor Swift is a very Un impressive musician, completely unimpressive to me in the fact that she is the single most. highest earning musician, music, musician of all musicians is astounding to me because she's just a performer. Anyways, so that to me lends into the idea. The same way that we will look at this in a minute is they artificially inflate these people's viewership. They, they get the mainstream media, the mainstream radio stations, the mainstream award shows to all. Pump these people up, pump them up, pump them up. Meanwhile, these people are just puppets for whatever they say, from the powers that be, goes. And so that's where this idea of it being a PSYOP comes from. So let's finish out this clip, if we can, tolerate this girl's vocabulary, and then we'll continue on. In breakups over and over again, these songs, Jake Gyllenhaal, somebody who she wrote the song all too well about, which is like a 10 minute song where she complains about a man that she dated for no joke, three months. This is not a musical mastermind. The media is pushing her on us constantly. And if you say anything negative about Taylor, the media, the Swifties and Taylor Swift herself. Okay. I think I know what she's going to say. A misogynist. And here's why I think that is. Taylor Swift is the perfect. Okay, Taylor Swift's music is absolute trash. So the only way that she got into the position that she's in is if she's working with the government. So here's the, here's the rest of the article. And it says, and this was December 6th that this conversation happened on Real America's Voice. But it says, uh, Waters posted a clip of his segment to Axe on Wednesday where he had, uh, he said an idea was floated at a NATO meeting in 2019 where Swift could combat online misinformation. So maybe here's some actual evidence of this potential Taylor Swift's the biggest star in the world. Sorry, Gutfeld. She's been blanketed across the sports media entertainment atmosphere. The New York Times just speculated she's a lesbian. And last year's tour broke Ticketmaster, a tour that's revenue tops the GDP of 50 countries. Wow, I like her music. She's all right. But I mean, have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this? Well, around four years ago. The Pentagon's Psychological Operations Unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting. What kind of asset? A psy op for combating online misinformation. Listen. You came in here wanting to understand how you just go out there and counter an information operation. The idea is that social influence can help, uh, It can help, uh, encourage or, uh, promote behavior change, so potentially as like a peaceful information operation. I include Taylor Swift in here because she's, um, you know, she's a fairly influential online person. I don't know if you've heard of her. Yeah, that's real. The Pentagon's PSYOP unit pitched NATO on turning Taylor Swift into an asset for combating misinformation online. This is nothing new. In the 1950s, the government strong armed Louis Armstrong into doing propaganda tours across Africa. The CIA did the same thing with jazz singer Nina Simone, except they did it without her really knowing. In the 70s, Nixon enlisted Elvis in his war on drugs. He gave the king a badge and named him a covert federal law enforcement agent. Michael Jackson was tapped by Reagan, using his song Beat It and his public service campaigns against teen drinking and driving. Michael Jackson persuading minors not to drink, anyway. So is Swift a front for a covert political agenda? Primetime obviously has no evidence. If we did, we'd share it. But we're curious. Because the pop star who endorsed Biden is urging millions of her followers to vote. She's sharing links. And her boyfriend, Travis Kelty, sponsored by Pfizer? And their relationships boosted the NFL ratings this season, bringing in a whole new demographic. So how's the PSYOP going? Well, as usual, Biden's not calling the shots because he doesn't even know who Taylor Swift is. He's confused her with Britney Spears and Beyoncé. You could say even this harder than getting a ticket to the renaissance tour or, or, or Britney's tour. She's down in, it's kind of warm in Brazil right now. Former FBI agent Stuart Kaplan. Wow, that is brutal. Stuart, is this feasible? Jesse, the deployment of a PSYOP in the United States in this day and age is still illegal. Um, the national security law prohibits the deployment of PSYOPs or using an operative for psychological warfare. However, if I was running Biden's management perception team, I would identify someone who would align themselves with my agenda, such 600 million followers. I would target her, I would engage her, and I would get her what, get her to do what we used to see as like public service announcements, and that type of enlistment, that type of solicitation is analogous to the old days of deployment of a PSYOP. And so in modern times, with these people having such influence and such, you know, immeasurable amount of followers. She can potentially, single handedly, swing voters because of just the amount of followers that she potentially can influence. So the answer is yes, Jesse. Wow. And I completely agree, right? We see even back historically between Elvis and Louis Armstrong, this has been done before. This isn't a new tactic. And so as we go on, we'll see. And I wanted to kind of Preempt this for you. And he talked about it a little bit with Travis Kelsey, all of, and even behind that was the tick tock. There was a whole trend around the Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift relationship situation on tick tock, right? People were going crazy. Girls were making jokes to their, their husbands and their boyfriends. And those were going viral. And I talked about this last time is If anything is going quote unquote viral and you think it's organic, the likelihood of that is probably low. If it's the number one most, most popular trend at the time, it's very likely that that was at least in some way, shape, or form even allowed, potentially, if that's the word you want to use, instead of being stifled, they at least allow it to happen because it fits their agenda. And if it didn't fit their agenda, they would slap it with a big misinformation, disinformation, or at the very least, they would shadow ban the content. And so we know that at this point, and as we start to look at more around this, I guess there's even more. situations, but it says, uh, and I wonder if we can look at the response, but that was crazy. The fact that the Pentagon PSYOP organization within the Pentagon actually came and pitched the idea. They pitched the idea that they could use Taylor Swift to conduct a PSYOP against the American people. That's an, that's actual footage available right now. I had no idea before watching that. And that is. Just crazy. So as we go back in history, I wanted to start to have a discussion surrounding this and see historically what ways has art and Culture been manipulated by governmental forces to align their agenda with yours. And so we can go back and we can look at this in a few different ways. And historically there has been not only Elvis and Louis Armstrong, but historically there's been many. Many governments that have done this from Nazi Germany. And I listed a few here after doing some research and under Adolf Hitler, the Nazi regime used music as a propaganda tool to reinforce its ideologies and suppress any opposing or non Germanic. cultural expressions. Jewish musicians and composers were not only banned from performing, but many were also persecuted and sent to concentration camps. The regime particularly promoted classical composers like Richard Wagner and Ludwig van van van Beethoven, who were seen as epitomizing Aryan and Germanic culture. Music played a pivotal role in Nazi rallies and events being used to evoke emotions of pride and nationalistic fervor among the masses. Hitler Youth was also heavily indoctrinated with music that promoted Nazi ideology. So there's one. The Soviet government, under Joseph Stalin, reinforced strict control over the arts, including music. Composers like, forgive me, Dmitri Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev faced severe restrictions and were often compelled to adapt their compositions to fit the state's demands for music that glorified socialism and the Soviet state. The government established the Union of Soviet Composers, which played a key role in censoring music and ensuring it adhered to the principles of socialist realism. Music that was considered formalist or bourgeoisie I don't know if I pronounced that right at all, was condemned and composers risked persecution if their work did not align with state ideologies. You even go back to Footloose, right? If you eliminate music, it has an effect. There's a reason that we sing in church. There's a reason that every religion across every country, across every historical timeframe ever incorporates music because music influences. And so if you can make one person the most influential musician in the world and then utilize them as a puppet to parrot the opinions that you want them to hold that align with your agenda, why wouldn't you do that? The Cultural Revolution in China is another example. Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution sought to eradicate Chinese traditional culture, including its rich musical heritage. Western classical music was also banned. Instead, the government promoted revolutionary music, particularly the eight model operas that were sanctioned by Zhang Qing, Mao's wife. Those operas and revolutionary songs were designed to glorify the Communist Party, Mao Zedong's leadership, and the revolutionary spirit of the Chinese people. This was part of a broader attempt to reshape Chinese culture and align it with the Maoist ideology. In another example, people have talked about this before, I'm not sure if there's any evidence of this, just the same way that we can't say there's any evidence of the Taylor Swift Society, but people have talked about how when it comes to black culture in the Late 1980s talking about how rap music and not particularly any type of rap music, but well, I guess particularly a type of rap music, which was the, uh, you know, the violent and drug riddled gang, uh, promoting. type of rap that became popular. And we even see this today with the Travis Scotts, how much Satanism is incorporated into our music scene today. It's bizarre, but it's not bizarre because it's intentional. And so when you go back to the 80s, even the times where the government was literally pushing crack cocaine into the ghetto areas, low income black communities, the very same time that rap music became what it was, and I love rap. I even love late 90s or early 90s rap about gangster shit and drugs and gang stuff. But like, it, you can't deny the fact that it influences culture. It influences how people act. It influences how people want to be when they grow up. How do, how, what makes them cool? What type of clothes should they wear? What should they aspire to? Well When all you hear about in music is selling drugs, making a bunch of money, how good they make you feel and the type of girls that you get when you do it. What do you think you're going to do? Right? It goes hand in hand. Culture is music and music creates culture. And so, um, this goes on and on. I have other ones which talks about the apartheid South of South Africa. During the apartheid era, the South African government used music as a tool to support its racial segregation policies. Cambodia used it, Iran after the 1979 revolution, North Korea, and North Korea music is used as a tool of state propaganda to an extreme degree. All music in the country is strictly controlled by the government. Why? Why would they do that? They wouldn't. And of course they wouldn't do that here in the United States of America with us free people. Right? Our government would never do that. Songs are written in North Korea to glorify The Kim family, and the Workers Party of Korea, often incorporating themes of loyalty, patriotism, and devotion to the leaders. Music is used in schools, workplaces, and public events to instill loyalty to the regime and reinforce its ideologies. There is virtually no exposure at all to international music, and creating or listening to non state approved music can result in severe penalties. And when we talk about severe penalties in North Korea, we're talking about generational imprisonment. Not just you go to jail. Your sister, your brother, your mother, and your next three generations go to jail. Like, horrible, horrible stuff. And so Music has always been utilized as a weapon by governments, always, and to assume that we're just so far along that our government would never do that, they would never utilize our culture, our music, our art, our movies, against us in a way that would not be in our best interest? No, they just let us do whatever, and wherever our culture goes, they're perfectly okay with it. Yeah, okay. And, and again, this is going to be an unraveling for everybody, and I think this is maybe a really good next one that we can get into as a society, as we've already unraveled the pharmaceutical industry, the medical industrial complex, the government, the politicians, the big money, the lobbying funds, all of that has happened. Now, as a society, I think it's time for us to realize that our culture has been infiltrated for decades. The music you listen to, the movies that you watch, the TV shows on Netflix, the articles that you read, the news media that you take in, every single piece of it, the art that you consume, the art on your walls, all of it. The most famous artists have historically, in some way, shape, or form, and we go back to even the, the, the idea of post modernism. Post modernism is a somewhat new artistic theme, and we're seeing that artistic theme. Play out today in our own culture, culture is shaped by art. So that's where they start, right? Postmodernism is the idea that there is no true reality. You have your truth. I have my truth and there's no two plus two equals five. And so when you realize that that's what they want to instill in your subconscious so that consciously you accept it when they tell you that a male is not a male. A male is a floating soul with no gender binary, and women are just women, and you can just declare it by standing on top of a desk and saying, I'm a woman now, even if you don't have ovaries or the ability to reproduce. So that's postmodernism in action, and that's one way that they took art and implemented That subliminal idea into your subconscious so that later it can be activated and weaponized against you. And so you could say, okay, I don't know any examples of that, Austin. I couldn't imagine our CIA working alongside artists. Well, let me clue you in, my friend. For decades in art circles, it was either a rumor or a joke, but now it is confirmed as fact. The CIA used American modern art, including the works of such artists as such as Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, William de Kooning, and Mark Rothko, right? Oh, a Rothko, right? You know, like the pretty sure that's like the square and a circle or whatever, as a weapon. In the Cold War. Interesting. In the manner of a renaissance prince, except that it acted secretly, the CIA fostered and promoted American abstract expressionist paintings around the world for more than 20 years. The connection is improbable. This was a period in the 1950s and 60s when the great majority of Americans disliked or even despised modern art. President Truman summed up a popular view when he said, If that's art, then I'm a Hot, hot and taught. What is a hot and taught as for the artists themselves, many were ex communists, barely acceptable in the American, in the America of the McCarthy era, and certainly not the sort of people normally likely to receive us government backing. Why did the CIA support them? Because in the propaganda war with the Soviet union, this new artistic movement could be held up as proof of the creativity, the intellectual freedom, and the cultural power of the United States. Russian art strapped into the communist ideological straitjacket could not compete. So basically what the idea was that our artists, the way of capitalism is just so much better than everything else. This free expression, the environment of freedom and democracy and all of this stuff is so amazing that we just allow brains to thrive. And artistic expression is just so much better here in the United States. And so they took Upwards of 20, what are they? It's 20 million and purchased this art specifically to prop up. It's like if you, if they funneled money into us companies. Through shell companies so that they could say that, Oh, but look at our democracy. Our organizations, our shell companies are so much more successful than Russian companies, because look at how much money they have. Well, you gave them the money so you could make that argument. That's the whole point. The existence of the policy rumored and disputed for many years has now been confirmed by the, for the first time by former CIA officials, unknown to the artists, the new American art was secretly promoted under a policy known as the long. leash arrangement, similar in some ways to the indirect CIA backing of the journal encounter edited by Steven Spender. The decision to include culture and art in the U S cold war arsenal was taken as soon as the CIA was founded in 1947. This made that the appeal communism still have for many intellectuals and artists in the West, the new agency set up a division, the propaganda assets. Inventory, which at its peak could influence more than 800 newspapers, magazines, and public information organizations. They joked that it was like a Wurlitzer jukebox. When the CIA pushed a button, it could hear whatever tune it wanted to play across the entire. The next key step came in 1950 when the international organizations division was set up under Tom Brayden. It was this office, which subsidized the animated version of George Orwell's Animal Farm, which sponsored American jazz artists. Opera recitals, the Boston symphonies, orchestra, international touring program. It's agents were placed in the film industry in publishing houses, even as travel writers for the celebrated photo guides. And we now know it promoted the America's anarchic avant garde movement. Abstract. Expressionism. Initially, more open attempts were made to support the new American art. In 1947, the State Department organized and paid for a touring international exhibition called Advancing American Art, which the aim of rebuting Soviet suggestions that America was a cultural desert. But the show caused outrage at home, prompting Truman to make his hot and taut remark in one bitter congressman to declare, I am just a dumb American who pays taxes. For this kind of trash, the tour had to be canceled. The U S government now faced a dilemma. The fill in the fill Philistinism combined with Joseph McCarthy's hysterical denunciations of all that was avant garde or unorthodox was deeply embarrassing. It discredited the idea that America was sophisticated, culturally rich democracy. It also prevented the U S government from consolidating the shift in cultural supremacy from Paris to New York since the 1930s. To resolve the CIA to resolve the dilemma. The CIA was brought in. Hmm. Very interesting Now this goes on and on and on. This is an article written by independent Independent dot co dot UK and the title of it is modern art was CIA Weapon and it was written written on Sunday the 22nd October of 1995 Super interesting article, I absolutely think that you could dive into more of the history of that, but I just want to give you that background. That's just one aspect of it, where our CIA has been a part of influencing culture through art. Now we can go into the next part of this, which is called Operation Mockingbird. And Operation Mockingbird was the hand in hand CIA operation between journalists, news networks, and Hollywood. And I myself need to do a deeper dive into this, but I had just recalled about this when talking about the Taylor Swift conversation and honestly, I didn't think this conversation would go that long. I usually have some warm up articles sometimes before I get into the deep stuff, but man, this is so interesting to me that I think we could probably sit here for five hours and talk about this. But it really is a culture death. You go back and listen to music, go back and listen to Led Zeppelin, go listen to a CDC, go listen to any of the, the great musicians of the 1970s and early eighties before the, the, the, the fingertips of the CIA started to get into our music and. We have done nothing but go downhill as a society musically. There's very few examples that you can give me that would even rival any of that. The very first, I'll give you a side story, go down the memory lane real quick. When I was maybe, oh, I don't know, 8 years old, 8 to 10 years old probably, my grandparents, Took me on a train ride to Chicago from Detroit to go see my cousins And I had just gotten for the train ride a new Walkman. I believe it was a gray Sony Walkman and My dad took me to go get my very first CD for my Walkman and I ended up getting the Led Zeppelin discography So all I listened to for probably Six months was every Led Zeppelin song ever and that is still to this day my favorite album I have the vinyl upstairs right now that I listen to greatest band of all time in my opinion anyways Trip down memory lane, so We have had a cultural death an artistic death here in the United States that has been unfolding for decades you even want to talk about architecture and I would love to do an interview with somebody who could speak more on this because I'm not an architect and I don't know the history of architecture But to me you go back and you look at even go back and look at Roman times Greek times go back and look at the Gothic eras and and go back and look at Pyramids like there go back and look at any history of time in the last 2000 years, and you will see if you took a time machine every 100 years, you would see beautiful architecture, cathedrals, and and political buildings and and courthouses and schools and all of these things are so beautifully created because when people used to create architecture, they used to do it to, to please the gods. They used to do it because there's a frequency within the building that you're in. And when you walk up to it and go through that door, there's a feeling that should be associated with that. And that is dead in the United States. Go drive your car around and the only thing you're going to see is a box and a box and a bigger box and a taller box and a wider box and you drive your box by the boxes and you see the boxes and you walk home to your box and you open up the box door to get into your box room to go into your box kitchen to create something in your box oven and pull something out of the box fridge to It's an endless cycle of squares in, in our culture, in our architecture. And it's, it's so sad to me to see that we just, that that's what we live in today. And so when we look at whether it's Project Mockingbird, whether we look at the CIA working hand in hand with the art within the Cold War, whether we talk about the, the historical aspects of music. There has been nothing but death of creativity in the United States. Every piece of culture that has been brought here has slowly dwindled and died, and it seems to me like it died at the hands of the organizations that are being funded by our tax dollars so that they can diminish our creativity, and so that they can control You are subconscious, and I think bringing it full circle back around to Taylor Swift is that's exactly what has happened. Here and now I do have a full article on the project Mockingbird. Let's see how far into this Well, we did 38 minutes on Taylor Swift So I think we can move on but I did find a substack article because it was actually a little bit interesting It's called a media manipulation the operation Mockingbird. It was written October 14th 2024 and it is from the reveal revealed. I Substack so revealed I dot substack. com and it looks like they do a pretty I don't know decent breakdown I haven't read through it all yet, but I think 38 minutes on on Media manipulation and Taylor Swift is probably a good start. So On your own time, feel free to go watch that. Here's a quick video on Project Mockingbird. Then we'll move on real concern That planted story is intended to serve a national purpose abroad Came home And were circulated here, and believed here. Because, uh, this would mean that the CIA could manipulate the news in the United States by channeling it through some foreign country. And we're looking at that very carefully. Do you have any people being paid by the CIA who are contributing to a major circulation American journal? We do have people who submit pieces to other, to American journals. Do you have any people paid by the CIA who are working for television networks? This, I think, gets into the kind of, uh, getting into the details, Mr. Chairman, that I'd like to get into in an executive session. Uh, at CBS, uh, we, uh, Had been contacted by the CIA. As a matter of fact, by the time I became the head of the whole news and public affairs operation in 1954. Ships had been established and I was told about them and asked if I'd carry on with them. We have quite a lot of detailed information, uh, and we will evaluate it and we will include any, um, evidence of wrongdoing or any evidence of impropriety in our final report and make recommendations. Do you have any people being paid by the CIA who are contributing to the National News Services, AP and UPI? Well, again, I think we're getting into the kind of detail, Mr. Chairman, that I'd prefer to handle in an executive session. Senator, do you think you named the new plan? So the answer is yes. Uh, that remains to be decided. I think it was entirely in order for our correspondents at that time, uh, to make use of, uh, C. I. A. agent, uh, chiefs, uh, of station and other members of the executive staff of C. I. A. as source. Alright, so there you have it. You can go, uh, read it through the article there, um, find it on Substack, uh, reveal. i. substack. com. Alright, so, let's move on. on from that into the next topic, which is going to be that in New York over the past few days, there has been a A bit of a debacle and one specifically between the Hasidic Jewish community in New York and the New York police. So the New York police showed up to a synagogue in, let's see here, let me go ahead and pull it up. All right. Basically what happened is the police showed up and they decided that they needed to shut down a underground. Tunnel system in New York, underneath a place of worship where these Hasidic Jews would go and congregate. And the idea behind this, the mainstream narrative is that the secret underground synagogue tunnels were causing destabilization of the buildings that were surrounding it. So that's the mainstream narrative that's come out in the last day or so. And nine of these Jews were arrested. And now I do want to preempt this with. Love my Jewish family. I'm not Jewish, so I don't technically have Jewish family, but you know what I mean? Love Jewish people. I love Christian people. I love Muslim people. I have no affinity towards any one class over the other. I have my own personal spiritual beliefs. I don't think that any religious beliefs in and of themselves make you a great or a bad person. I believe that there's Terrible people who are Jewish, and there's great people that are Jewish, there's terrible people who are Christians, there's great people that are Christians, there's terrible people who are Muslims, and there's great people who are Muslims. I've met them all. Mostly good people across the board. I can't even look at one and be like, Hey, I've met a bunch of people in this. No, every religion has bad apples. Just like you can say, you know, there's a bunch of people who say, Oh, police are bad. No, they're not bad. There's bad people everywhere in every occupation, religion, uh, country, uh, whatever it is. There's bad people everywhere, in every type of thing, but mostly people are good, mostly people intend good, and I, so, there's your disclaimer, as we go into this, because it's a very, um, very sensitive time, for this specific culture, and I get that, and so, I'm just going to preempt that. There's your disclaimer. All right. Now, everything from here forward is just me talking, but, uh, understand it from that framework. Um, so just as we were discussing, there has been a Jewish synagogue. That was creating underground tunnels. They were digging, digging, digging underground tunnels. And so the idea from the Jewish community that was there, and this is a very specific Jewish community. It's the Hasidic Jews, the, uh, I can see if I can pull up the exact names of them here for you. Cause it, it does matter because the specific culture is known for having to deal with some very specific, uh, um, pushback in certain situations in this small area. So this specific. Uh, Jewish culture, I believe is a, um, more Orthodox culture and I actually have a whole thing here, but to me, it's of Russian descent and So here's the general idea is that they were digging these holes and they claim that they were digging these holes because they were six. They started digging these holes six months ago because of the COVID restrictions or they dug them during COVID because they wanted to Uh, congregate and practice their faith during a time where they were being told, no, you cannot do that. Okay. Now there's a secondary theory, which is that they are digging these tunnels because the person that they, the, the, the Messiah, I believe that they believe in says that you have to consistently expand your place of worship. And maybe I'm getting that wrong because we'll get into a thread here in just a moment. Um, but let's, let's dive into the timeline of this. So on January 8th, videos circulated that showed a tunnel network under the Lubavitch, that's the specific one, the Lubavitch HQ in Crown Heights and several Jewish men being arrested. More videos show another Jewish man escaping through another tunnel and a group. resisting officers. The building was shut down afterwards. Initially, the claim was that the tunnels were made to pray during COVID. This, according to this thread, okay, and this thread is not, this is not CNN. This is not Fox. This is not, um, it's not a news organization. So In, I guess, everything you hear from every organization because I'm talking about those two, too. I wouldn't believe Fox or CNN on everything either, but this is the individual account on X, so take it with a grain of salt, but this seemed to be the most, uh, factually and organized article that I could find on this. It says initially the claim was the tunnels were made to pray during COVID. This is most likely false. Neighbor with Mikva access, as of six months ago, no work on the tunnel had begun. Since renovation was the main reason the tunnels were noticed, they could have Um, and now they add some receipts here, which says that the tunnel found burrowed under the women's section of 770, possibly destabilizing the building. And there's three, four other articles that are attached to this to back up the idea that they were just stating there. And so the next thing that it states here as we go into that, and so that's the, the general idea is that they were saying, Oh, we were doing this. During COVID because we weren't allowed to worship. Well, it seems to be that that was according to this false because these tunnels weren't started, but six months ago now where it really started to get some fuel on the fire is during one of these videos, as these people are. Resisting arrest. There was a, quite the scene. They're flipping over pews and creating these wall barriers as the police are grabbing them and they're pushing back and forth. And like this, this, the whole chaos ensuing inside of the synagogue. And as that's happening, a guy is breaking down the walls and like a police officer is like, or is breaking down the walls and starting to pull people out of it. And one of the, the, um, Jewish people that are there pull out a mattress and on this mattress, this is a soiled mattress that looks to be whether it's old blood or, uh, feces or something that's on this mattress. And it seems to be a small mattress. Um, Uh, that some people were saying was meant for, uh, a child and that's kind of what it looks like. Okay. But we won't make any assumptions yet, but that's, that's what's probably one of the biggest fuels of the fire. Now, the other thing that was very questionable about the situation is one of the people, one of the Jewish guys was escaping and he went through the tunnel system and he came up, right? Next to a child's museum. Hmm. Now that's not to say that there's children in the museum, but it is to say that the museum is meant for children. And so there has been theories that these individuals were using this for some sort of human trafficking. Okay. Now again, unfounded, a couple of weird coincidences and. Here's the side part. If these people were just digging tunnels so that they could pray during COVID, more power to them. That's awesome. You should do that. Fuck the government. They can't tell you what you can and cannot do, especially when it comes to your religious practices. So, wholeheartedly believe that. If that's what they were doing, awesome. They should do it. Um, but, there's a lot of skepticism around maybe some more nefarious reasons why this was happening. And so, as we go deeper into this thread and deeper into this article, It starts to talk about some of those things. It talks about the mattress, talks about the, um, the pushing and shoving that ensued, I believe nine people total were arrested that were a part of this synagogue. so the next portion of this says, The contents of the tunnel are very disturbing and don't seem like items extremists students would keep. A mattress with a dark stain was found. A baby high chair? Was found as well. So that's a weird one. The crowd protecting the tunnels isn't small. They are also aren't of student age. Here's the full video of the tunnel network that we have access to. The video shows passageways that extend that aren't explored. It's unclear whether the other passages might contain does this tunnel network look like something done in six months? So it's absolutely does not look like something done in six months. So let me share this with you here. Um, this is. It looks old, almost, to me. It looks like it's been used. There's, there's like, old chipped paint hanging off of door frames, and there's a big, uh, like, sand Let me go ahead and expand this for you here, but there's the, the high chair, there's what looks like some wheel barrels, a bunch of just stuff thrown around, cinder blocks thrown around some carved little tunnel doorways that they're crawling into now with a flashlight. And so as they walk back, it's just a crawl space now, essentially from the more. Substantial part of it that is where could have been where that person came up into that right right outside of that Children's Museum. So that's bizarre. I don't think this was built six months ago. Again, I'm not a archaeologist or whatever the hell you need to be to date that stuff. But it says where does the tunnel exit to using geomapping one of the tunnels exit near the local Children's Museum. It's also unclear how large the tunnel network is and where the other passages lead. As more information comes in, we will know how extensive the network is. And they show you the photos as to how they know this. This is where the video where the guy came out of it. This is the photo where they actually found that same portion of it. Um, discussion of the tunnels online has been avoided by many accounts. Some accounts claimed the tunnels were even fake. Israel War Room labeled such discussions of the tunnel anti Semitic. They claim that it's just a simple building code violation. Hmm, then why are we getting in, like, fights and arrested over building code violations? You get a fine for that. You don't get arrested. You don't get into pushing, shoving matches with the police over building codes. It says the label conspiracy theorist has been applied to people who believe tunnels could have been used to harm kids. No explanation has been given for the stained mattress and baby high chair in the tunnels. Is the conspiracy or is there more to the Brooklyn community? Research reveals a dark history of sexual assault in the Brooklyn area. If you do speak out about it, you are shunned from the community and harassed. Disturbing testimony in the article speculates that the number of young boys sexually assaulted could be as high as 50%. The community is, and there's four different articles that it attaches there. The community is very secretive and will oftentimes cover up or silence people who have been assaulted. The community is very religious and strict. If you go against the grain, the community turns against you. Hmm. And they have a video about this specific here with a religious look at the Satmar sect. John, good morning. Good morning. Fascinating case. And it's a case that's being watched closely Anthony, not just because of the allegation that a trusted community leader sexually abused a young girl. He was assigned to help, but also because the trial has. Hmm. Okay. So it sounded like maybe a different name of a different sect. That he was mentioning here, but within the Brooklyn area, a specific Jewish Pull back the veil, concealing the inner workings of a closed community. The trial of the Alright. So, here's shuns those who have been traumatized. They send threats to the survivors, harass them, and have total control over their lives. Police confirm it is very tough to get convictions and to have victims. While we wait for more information, here are some of the questions I and many others have about the tunnels. What was the liquid on the stained mattress? Why was there a baby high chair in the tunnel? Has a full forensic analysis been performed in the area? Where does the tunnels lead? Hmm. All good questions. Do any security cameras have clear view of entrances to the tunnels? If so, have they been subpoenaed? Have there been any people who reported this before the renovations in December 2023? Who anonymously tipped off the fire department? Who used the tunnels? How many minors entered the tunnels? Have any minors displayed behavior of a survivor upon exiting the tunnels? Okay, this is like, it's very specific. So, there's, there's the thread for you. Now, as we go into the culture surrounding this community that we are referencing here, which again is not just the normal Orthodox Judaism, it's not, um, it's a specific religious sect within Brooklyn. It's a very small, tight knit community, um, that are, uh, uh, uh, uh, Hasidic, uh, Yadkivik, right? Is that the name of it? So, very specific, uh, religious sect. So it says, okay. Once upon a time, it says, okay, for real. Once upon a time in Eastern Europe, a movement called Shabbat was founded. Its founder was Rabbi Schnur Zalman of Laity. This was in 1812. He was many things, among them a genius, Talmudist, and rabbi, the Kalbalist and mystic, and the rarest of things, a true original thinker. A Kabbalist, sorry, a Talmudist, meaning he follows the Talmud, um, and a rabbi and a Kabbalist and a mystic. So, there is a really interesting conversation surrounding the mystical Judaism, uh, there is a whole subsection of, of Judaism, uh, and historically much more prevalent. Back then, but that believed in mysticism and there is certain sections of this that still do, but like literal magic, um, while a true original of, and one of, in my opinion, the greatest philosophers and theologians in the history of humankind, he was also profoundly devoted to his own teachers in the Hasidic tradition and saw himself as the natural successor. The Hasidic tradition was founded a couple of generations earlier, and one of the prophecies is connection and devotion to a master in Hasidic parlance above all. Hasidism love and devote themselves to their rabbi as the one who helps connect the soul of the Jew with godliness. Okay, sounds a little bit like Catholicism, right? The aspect of Hasidic Judaism made into a lesser extent continues to make some people nervous. However, it has also been extremely thoroughly defended and broadly accepted as a legitimate manifestation of Judaism, which always has its Moses, Rabbi Akiva, and Vilna. And again, this is a single account. This isn't a religious text. This isn't a official person that is sitting here giving me this information, but it is, seems to be pretty legit to me. Um, but I haven't done a ton of research on the theology behind Hasidic mystic Judaism. Um, Rabbi, Rabbi Schnur Shabbat, uh, Rabbi Schnur Zalman Shabbat movement. So it's the Shabbat. Hasidic Judaism is one movement within a much broader Hasidic world full of dynasties of Rees, which each of their own rich traditions in ways, and it's R-E-B-B-E-S, not rabbis, although it is not a widely studied, they're al always emphasized point has has Hasidism Hasidism as part of their devotion. Generally see their rabbi as a Masonic figure. The word is loaded and makes people extremely uncomfortable. It may worth pausing briefly to explain that Hasidism is seen by, um, the founding of the movement as a redemptive revelation of Torah, a movement whose original Geist is to raise the Jewish people from the spiritual and physical malaise of exile and return them to their deepest soul and identity, a holy nation. with God. The more that holiness and redemptive soul is brought into the world, the more the time of the general redemption, the macronism of that inner redemption draws near. The rabbi is a Torah of flesh and blood, that general reality in state instantiated in a holy and saintly individual. Uh, so much for the brief explanation. They said fast forward to the 20th century, the descendant of Rabbi Schnur Zalman, Rabbi Joseph Yitzhak of Lubavitch survives imprisonment. and near execution by the KGB in the Nazi bombing of Warsaw, and after much deliberation, moves to New York City. Wow, that's wild. the known reasons for this choice are varied. Some are spiritual, New York becoming a center of influence on world Jewry. Not sure that's a word. Um, and some are very pragmatic. The Jews of the U. S. are already monetarily feeding most of the Eastern Bloc Jewry. Thus, the sixth Lubavitcher rabbi, Lubavitch is a tiny town in Belarus that has the home of the longest surviving branch of the Shabbat movement, um, comes to Brooklyn and moves into 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights. The sixth rabbi passes away in 1950 and is succeeded by his son in law and distant cousin, Rabbi Menchem, Mendel Schneerson. In 1951, though he doesn't live in the building, 770 is where his office is located and remains the HQ of the Shabab movement. Now you have to understand the Shabab movement in the U. S. in 1951 can practically fit into a single small room. It is a tiny poor immigrant community, remnants of a world for that the Nazis and Bolsheviks destroyed between them. They had nothing, no resources, no connections, barely any English, a tiny immigrant community in what was then a prestigious middle class Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. What they got in 1951, however, was capital L leadership. Not sure what that means. The 7th Rebbi, henceforth the Rebbi, declares in his first official speech as Rebbi that this is the generation that will bring a final end to exile and usher in the messianic age. He declares this about a long room full of people. He then sets about changing world Jewry. Again, don't know if that's a word. Books could be written about the Rebbi and have been, but suffice to say the Rebbi creates from nothing a mass movement devoting to hunting down and love the Jews that Hitler hunted and hatred. I'm not going to read all of it. hunting down in love, the Jews that hunter, that Hitler hunted in hatred with bringing Torah and mitzvoth, in love. The commandments to every single Jew. Shabbat centers, so it sounds like they're trying to just expand among all of the Jewish people. Shabbat centers with no central funding whatsoever, by the way, are opened all over the world. The rabbi pushes and pushes for a single Jew to perform a single commandment. He seeks to revive a broken and orphaned generation. He expands Shabbat and massive global movement. All of this is just an atheist, know nothing All of this is just what an atheist know nothing can appreciate about the Rebbe. He barely slept and was totally publicly devoted to other people for decades. Stories of Jews and non Jews meeting with him are countless, and always he emphases the imminent redemption and how to get there. Okay, now it says we get to the sensitive part of the story, but I'm going to try to stick to simple public fact. The Rebbe's emphasis on, um, The Messiah grows greater and greater in his final years of leadership. The Rebbe passes away in 1994. The Rebbe's Hasidism very much believed, and believe, that if anyone in this generation was a candidate to become the final Redeemer according to Jewish law and tradition, it was and is the Lubavitcher Rebbe. However, following the Rebbe's passing, as the dust settles, there is a bit of a split. Some hedonism fervently believe that spreading the awareness of the Rebbe as the Redeemer is a core part of bringing about the Redemption. They are the Masik, Mes, Mesh, Ikitism. M E S H I C H I S T I M. Their flag is yellow and ubiquitous. The majority of Hasidism and ever growing consolidated core of Shabbat official organs believe that this is not the Rebbe's will. Okay. Um. Now another issue, 770, the home and place, let's see if there's anything specific we want to get into here. Uh, now you know a lot about a certain subsection of Jewish culture that you probably never needed to know so much about. Um, another thing you should know is that even beyond the, by now, old distinction between, uh, the maschicatism and the anti S, as they are known, Shabbat is highly decentralized and full of typical politics. Territorialism fights over money and all sorts of very human issues. Okay, uh, let's see what else. Um, this person is very thorough in their study of this. Um, and so, to the current contremps, you have a global, decentralized, massively successful organization that runs charities and synagogues and helps Jews with problems, physical and spiritual, all over the world with an official HQ partially occupied by something like a street gang. Sounds like we missed that part, but I'm not going to go back for you. Um, and so, uh, This basically just says they're not above violence to claim their own turf. There's a big turf war between that split off between one subsection of this and the other subsection. In any case, this week, the actual ownership of 7770 called the cement trucks to repair this damage and stop the progress on the expansionism. Um Interesting. Uh, basically it says that as a result of this expansionism and taking over this territory, they wanted to, uh, start breaking into, uh, the, the, so basically one portion of this subsection lives in the top floor and one portion lives on the bottom floor. And so, uh, you have a global decentralized, right? Like a streaking. This, uh, Fat Tim. have taken upon themselves in recent months unilaterally to expand 770. Their way was doing was starting to break into an adjoining basement. The main synagogue of 770 is in the basement and old decommissioned ritual bath. Or mitzvah. 770 is indeed, which a mikvah is basically where you're supposed to go bath, bathe yourselves. Women are supposed to go there before they have their period. Men are supposed to go there before and after they have sex. It's like a, it's like you cleanse yourself in this area. Um, 770 is, Uh, is indeed far too small for the massive number of people who wish to pray there, study there, or something that more and more Hasidism have been seeking a proper solution to for years. However, a bunch of teenagers breaking down walls in their free time, you be the judge. In any case, this week, the actual ownership of 770 called in the cement trucks to repair this damage and stop the progress on the expansion. Um, the Fatim responded territorially, the police became involved, and you have videos of Yeshiva students escaping arrest through sewer gates. I think that's most of the factual context. You're welcome. Wow! Uh, okay. Super super interesting. Uh, if you wish to read more about these topics, here are some good books. The Philosophy of Shabbat by Rabbi Nisan Mindel, The Rebbe's Army by Sue Fishcough, and Rebbe by Josef Tolskien. Hmmm. Very interesting. Uh, the broad interest in this story on Twitter and beyond is largely antisemitic with filth like this, uh, is a dime a dozen. Looks like something was, uh, deleted there. Um, interesting. Okay. So this makes much more sense to me and I think was probably. important to actually get into the details on, uh, then, uh, then long term human trafficking under the streets of New York. Uh, so we have come to a conclusion and that is I vote. Not human trafficking. That is my, that is my conclusion here. I have debunked this, uh, maybe not completely, but it seems much more likely that that was the case, is that there's a bunch of territorial, uh, Jew fights going on and they're fighting over territory and expanding their territory and the landlord called on them and they were digging into the basement and now we see what we have. A little weird that there was a high chair. There, so there's your competing threads, I guess, and one thread being these, uh, this Jewish sect is creating underground tunnels for human trafficking, the other one being this is a territory war between very somewhat poor, um, and, uh, emotionally charged organizations for territory. Um, so that, that seems to make a lot more sense to me guys than, than underground human trafficking. Jewish rabbis. I don't know. Um, but there is some articles out there of, of, you know, just as you can find for Christians and Catholics of wrongdoings, which if that's the, the ruler that you measure everybody's affiliations by, then you can basically say that everybody is running a human trafficking organization then, I guess. All right, so let's move on. The last thing that we're going to talk about, and we're going to talk about this somewhat briefly, is the fact that, uh, and let me go ahead and actually just pull this article up, because I haven't been, I haven't had time to read through this completely yet, because this just happened. So, this is breaking news, is the fact that the United States and the UK coalition conducted a strike on Houthi rebels. A joint strike, and So, as this article loads, we'll learn more and more, but I guess the, the, uh, the concern around this is that the reason that, the concern around this is obviously that the Houthi rebels are backed by Iran. Right? So, this is, this comes from Fox News, and it says, hold this over a little bit. Alright, this comes from Fox News, where it says, as it loaded and unloaded on me, um, That the U. S. and U. K. coalition strike Iran backed Houthi targets in Yemen after spat of ship attacks in the Red Sea. So you've been hearing this back and forth, right? The drone strikes, and the aircraft carriers shooting down the drones, and all of this has been going on with these rebel militants that are backed by Iran. And so what I think is interesting is it's always Iran backed militants. Is, is, are Ukraine, in every article by Russia, U. S. backed? Ukrainian militants? Do they? I'm sure they understand the proxy war just as much there as we do here, right? So if we're calling that every single thing, it's not it's not a war with Houthi rebels. It's a war with Iran. And that's what they're preempting for us. And that's that's what the priming that we're seeing here is before they put Houthi, they put Iran backed and that's for a reason. So Yemen's Iran backed Houthi militants have stepped up attacks or commercial on commercial vessels in the Red Sea and It says the United States and Britain carried out a series of strikes on military organizations and locations belonging to Iran backed Houthis in Yemen early Friday in response to militant groups ongoing attacks on vessels traveling through the Red Sea. Fox News is told that there were attacks on more than a dozen Houthi targets by air, surface, and subsurface platforms. The attacks were carried out with support from Australia, Netherlands, Iran and Canada, a U. S. defense official says the U. K. contributed aircraft. President Biden said he'd authorize strikes in direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against the International Maritime Vessels in the Red Sea, including the use of anti ship ballistic missiles for the very first time in history. These Houthi attacks, Biden said, have endangered U. S. personnel and its allies and have threatened freedom of navigation. These targeted strikes are a clear message that the United States and our partners will not tolerate attacks on our personnel or allow hostile actors to imperil freedom of navigation in one of the world's most critical commercial routes. I would love to hear President Biden say imperil freedom of navigation together. That would be impressive. I will not hesitate. He said to direct further measurements to protect our people. And the free flow of international commerce as necessary. The strikes came shortly after the White House called a lid on President Biden's engagements for the evening as he was not expected to discuss the matter publicly. It follows news that the Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had not notified the President or other officials of his whereabouts for several days. Okay. A joint statement from the government

Dion O'Reilly chats with Roxi Power about her new book, The Songs that Objects Would Sing, diving deep into a work that that “is aflame, both with the literal wildfires ravaging the American West and with the slower smolder of personal grief. Power's response to loss and disaster is a quirky plangent song…shot through with humor and underpinned by a rippling ostinato of lyric power” (Mark Scroggins). With ease and humor, Dion and Roxi draw on postmodern and Buddhist theories, debating whether the presences that sing within the objects of Power's lines are “essences.” “I feel you in the glint of objects sometimes. That's all I know.” The white "ghost piano" on the book's cover, painted by her sister Sky Power, summons her mother's musical influence within the titular elegiacal poem. Power conjures and “unpaints” the psycho-geography of Texas and Wyoming, filled with the "ghost-scratchings" of memory that, like de Kooning's paintings, peak through to the surface of the “cinematic fictions she sews from scratch." She bends time in poems such as "The Aftermath of Future" where “Now is just one fold in the snake skin of time.” Dion and Roxi discuss Power's trans-genre work and why she has been drawn to recombinant forms since her MFA work at Cornell University that include music, visual art, and film. Power has taught for 25 years at the University of California, Santa Cruz where she founded and edits the trans-genre anthology, Viz. Inter-Arts. Her next book is forthcoming from Carbonation Press in 2024. Power organizes national “Trans-Genre Cabarets,” and her own trans-genre work includes Live Film Narration (Neo-Benshi) performances of original scripts across the country, including the Tennessee Williams Festival, the New Orleans Poetry Festival, REDCAT, and St. Mark's Poetry Project. Her next Neo-Benshi performance is Feb. 22 at Satori in Santa Cruz. Power organizes events and makes podcasts for The Hive Poetry Collective. Her most recent podcast is with Brenda Hillman. Farnaz Fatemi writes: “With both musical and emotional intelligence, not to mention a linguistic virtuosity, Power conjures hope amid her sonic discoveries—while still bearing lucid witness to personal and community grief.” C.S. Giscombe writes, “The first line of Roxi Power's incredible burst of poems lays down the law with one hand and sets things in motion with another—that is, she writes as if to remark on the coming noise made by fire, death, love…The many motions of this music, of these songs that objects would sing, will brush the reader with a difficult and worthy and joy. You can order her book here.
This WAIA Wednesday, the inspiring and incredibly thoughtful curator Olivia Miller discusses de Kooning's 'slashed' women, opportunities and challenges of working in a smaller city, the inspirational significance of women-led art organizations, the contextual power of a museum, the return to craft and fiber arts in this age of AI, and an artist's original intentions versus the ever-changing meaning of their work itself. Olivia Miller is the Interim Director and Curator at the University of Arizona Museum of Art (UAMA) where she has worked since 2012, curating or co-curating more than 30 exhibitions. She has contributed scholarship for exhibition catalogues and regularly presents her research at academic conferences. As an arts educator, she has taught at the University of Arizona's Humanities Seminars Program, the Arizona State Prison Complex, Osher Life-Long Learning Institute, and Pima Community College. Her most recent exhibition is Restored: The Return of Woman-Ochre, which traces the incredible story of Willem de Kooning's stolen, recovered, and recently conserved painting. She is currently co-curating a solo exhibition of Diné weaver and painter, Marlowe Katoney, which is supported by a grant from the Terra Foundation for American Art and will open at UAMA in October, 2023.
In this episode, Nathan and Breck discuss: Art as an investment and the value it holds from a monetary and aesthetic standpoint The rise of fine art as an alternative asset class The role of an art consultant in the buying and selling process of fine art The impact Breck's grandfather had on his life and the community they lived in thanks to his influence as the founder of Xerox How family values and community involvement shape who you are Key Takeaways: There is a hunger for people to understand art as an asset while also appreciating the aesthetic of the works itself Follow your passion and find a way to incorporate it into your work each and every day. Determining the impact you want to make with generational wealth starts and ends with your family dynamic. Finding common ground, a shared vision and how you orient together is key to a successful family experience. Embrace your strengths, have sure footing, and maintain a bit of a practical planning view to see the bigger picture in life. “Art is about context, and the reason why art is in our museums is because it resonates with a moment in time.” — Breck Kling About Breck Kling: Breck is an Acquisitions and Collection Management Specialist and Fine Art Consultant that has been with Heather James Fine Art since 2017.

She started to find herself grappling with a distorted sense of reality, becoming obsessed with reading the threats on social media, the endlessly scrolling insults from the followers of her doppelganger. Why had her shadowy other gone down such an extreme path? Why was identity – all we have to meet the world – so unstable? To find out, Klein decided to follow her double into a bizarre, uncanny mirror world: one of conspiracy theories, anti-vaxxers and demagogue hucksters, where soft-focus wellness influencers make common cause with fire-breathing far right propagandists (all in the name of protecting ‘the children'). In doing so, she lifts the lid on our own culture during this surreal moment in history, as we turn ourselves into polished virtual brands, publicly shame our enemies, watch as deep fakes proliferate and whole nations flip from democracy to something far more sinister. This is a book for our age and for all of us; a deadly serious dark comedy which invites us to view our reflections in the looking glass. It's for anyone who has lost hours down an internet rabbit hole, who wonders why our politics has become so fatally warped, and who wants a way out of our collective vertigo and back to fighting for what really matters. https://www.waterstones.com/book/doppelganger/naomi-klein/2928377214036

The Bay was painted in 1963 as Frankenthaler had refined her soak and stain process. While Mountains and Sea was made with diluted oil paints, The Bay is acrylic on unprimed canvas. She had found that using acrylics gave her greater control over the viscosity or how fluid the paint was. As I look at The Bay, the title indicates a landscape and the brightness, the organic shapes of blue and green give me a sense of a Bay, but it feels like it is more about a happy, contented sort of tone. There is movement, but it seems gentle like sitting out on a boat drifting in calm waters. The Bay represents a different sort of take on Abstract Expressionism. While many followed Jackson Pollock's and Willem de Kooning's aggressive and agsty style, Helen Frankenthaler's color fields are more gentle and at peace. Her work was a breath of fresh air showing that painting could reduce art to fundamental elements in line with esoteric modernist philosophy and still be beautiful and joyous.

Episode 50 is a conversation with artist Audrey Phillips. We learn more about Audrey and her beautiful acrylic paintings and her incredible journey through life that included both dark and light, tragedy and triumph. Audrey received her Bachelor of Fine Art from the University of Florida. Audrey has exhibited in solo and group shows in Florida, where she currently lives, Georgia, North Carolina, Minnesota, Michigan, California, Texas, New Mexico and New York. Her work is can be found in corporate and private collection in the United States and internationally. In 2019, 54 of her paintings were acquired by the University of Tampa for permanent installation in their newly renovated Southard Family Building. Audrey states, "My art practice started quite by accident—a collision of tragedy and creative healing. In 2000, I started painting faces that were somewhat representational but mostly raw, darkly expressive and strangely abstracted. This work sprang forth from a deep loss. In my search to heal, my newly formed art practice became a visual healing process. After this ten-year journey, I started painting abstractly. This abstract work allowed me to tap into the internal energy I had learned to access through my yoga and meditation practice that also started in the year 2000," in an interview for Arts on Douglas. Audrey's paintings are expressive, bold and large, with beautiful colors and gestural mark making. Nature is her primary springboard and she often works in diptychs or two panels that symbolize the duality of life, the yin and yang, the light and dark. Her influences of artists are Joan Mitchell, Cecily Brown, and Willem de Kooning. Audrey teaches week-long workshops throughout the country. Her teaching style includes sharing her lifestyle with students. This includes the practice of meditation combined with full sessions of painting. The students work large in spacious studios in venues that have those types of facilities. This year she is teaching at Beverly Todd's Santa Fe Artist Getaway (you can hear more about this venue in our episode 46 with Beverly) and Paint Space NOLA in New Orleans. She accepts students after doing a portfolio review to make sure it is a good fit for intermediate to advanced painters. Check out the show notes for information on enrolling. Many thanks to Audrey for sharing her story with us. This episode is a powerful testament to the power of art in regards to healing and uplifting your life.

Allison Otto's so unbelievable it has to be true documentary, THE THIEF COLLECTOR, follows the brazen broad daylight theft of renown artist Willem de Kooning's landmark painting “Woman-Ochre,” in 1985. Considered to be one of the most valuable paintings of the 20th century, it vanished into the Arizona desert after being cut from its frame at the University of Arizona Museum of Art. Thirty-Two years later, the $160 million painting was found hanging in the home of Jerry and Rita Alter in rural New Mexico. THE THIEF COLLECTOR takes a deep look at how, and why, this mild-mannered couple pulled off one of the greatest art heists of a generation, exploring the complicated dynamics of family, the contours of criminality, and just how far people will go to weave their own grandiose narratives. Featuring Glenn Howerton (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Sarah Minnich (Army of the Dead) in the “heist re-enactment”. Director Allison Otto (The Love Bigs) stops by to talk about how she came to the project, following the wildly improbable story of retired school teachers and avid world travelers led her to New Mexico and a cryptic book, written by Jerry Alter that hints at multiple art heists and even more disturbing activities that the couple may have engaged in.

In deze aflevering Hannah Sterke, documentairemaker, art director en gamer. Zij vertelt over de Dutch Design Week die zij destijds net achter de rug had (de opname dateert uit November '22) en waar haar indrukwekkende en razend interessante documentaire 'Go back to the Kitchen' over misogynie tijdens online gamen te zien was. Hannah vertelt over haar werk in de kunstwereld en haar werkzaamheden als art director bij TWBA/NEBOKO. Haar credo: 'Scare your creative directors', als je een voorstel doet voor een campagne. Een openhartige Hoe Maak Je Het waarin we worden meegenomen in Hannah's reis van middelbare school, via grafisch vormgeving, de Willem de Kooning academie tijdens corona en haar game-ervaring. Dat laatste leidde tot het maken van de documentaire om de negatieve reacties die vrouwen krijgen tijdens het gamen onder de aandacht te brengen, waar ook haar scriptie over ging. De documentaire van 13 minuten is hier te bekijken en zeer de moeite waard, zeker ook voor ouders wiens kids online gamen. Een aflevering over prijzen winnen in de advertentiewereld ('niet erg', volgens Hannah) en de zoektocht naar projecten die voldoening geven. (Muziek Intro / Outro: ‘I Can't Find The Words To Say' door Onyx Ashanti)
Episode Notes https://www.ubu.com/aspen/aspen3/ Aspen magazine issue three is an utterly important document of pop art, a magazine a document of pop art Go figure, but Aspen was different. It was a magazine in a box. It was a bunch of loose printed pieces and audio pieces and sometimes even video pieces placed into a box and sold the 1960s and into the early 70s. I own three of them and sadly not issue three which is the pop art issue, which was designed by Andy Warhol and David Dalton. And this is an absolutely massively important piece. The pieces range from the Velvet Underground, the view from the bandstand which includes their a flexi disc and some of their music. It includes pieces by John Cale and Peter Walker, a wonderful 12 paintings from the powers collection. And that's the art collection of Thomas powers. And it has James Rosenquist, Bridget Riley, Joe Lang, Lichtenstein, Noland Warhol, Klaus Oldenburg plays Oldenburger Larry Poons, Jasper Jones, de Kooning, an underground movie flipbook by Warhol were you flipping it includes Warhols kiss a 10 trip ticket book, which was from the Berkeley conference on LSD, the plastic exploding inevitable, which is a one shot newspaper done for the Velvet Underground and Warhols factory show series. what's incredible about this isn't necessarily the quality of individual pieces, but how the consolidation of them into a box makes so much sense with the method because the cover is done as a mock of FAB detergent, and it says fab 10 cents off and then there's now Aspen it's an incredibly pop art image. And since it's a box, it's mocking and mimicking a boxed product. In essence, this is exactly what pop art is doing. It is documenting the everyday world and showing it back at you in a way that you will recognize and this magazine and the link I'll include is just phenomenal. And I'll do another couple of aspen issues, including two that I own. So stay tuned. Find out more at https://three-minute-modernist.pinecast.co

Anyone familiar with Abstract Expressionism will tell you that this art movement was one where all the insiders or practitioners were more closely involved than many other art movements. Such close confines also made for some serious rivalries, too. But there were other artists who were more intimately involved with one another and their artistic process-- they were married, or were lovers. Such is the case with both Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning --both of whom married women who were incredible artists in their own right. Interestingly, and sadly, when these two spouses are mentioned, it's very rare that we are treated to sincere commentary just about their works of art. More often than not, we are, instead, given explanations of how these women measure up to their (admittedly more famous) husbands, and are relegated either to a supporting role, or just plain seen as not good enough in comparison. Why is it that such talented women continue to have their posthumous careers and stories marked and shaped by their husbands?

One of the clear trends visible in last year's auction data is a renewed interest in abstract painting. Bidders are pursuing a range of overlooked artists from the 1940s and 1950s. Into that trend, David Zwirner Gallery has opened a new show, Roma New York, 1953-64. The exhibition more than 50 works by 23 different artists highlights the connection between some of the giants of mid-century art like Willem de Kooning, Robert Rauschenberg, Franz Kline and Cy Twombly , as well as lesser known names like Conrad Marca-Relli, and a group of Italian artists in Rome like Carla Accardi, Afro, Alberto Burri, Piero Dorazio, Luigi Boille, Gastone Novelli, Jannis Kounellis and Mario Schifano. The show is filled with discoveries. That may be why one obsessive gallery-goer on Instagram called it, “the most magnificent gallery show in New York right now.” In this podcast, the show's curator David Leiber, who is also a partner at David Zwirner Gallery, explains the origins of the show and what he hopes to it will provoke.
Apologies for the poor audio, we had microphone issues - This episode continues our exploration of the relationship between gratitude and love as a path to true knowledge, as described by Rudolf Steiner in Chapter 5 of ”How to Know Higher Worlds.” Steiner points us towards the fulfillment of the human heart, one that flows actively and dynamically between gratitude and love while connected to the world around us. Love of this magnitude becomes the ultimate counterforce to the divisive elements working so strongly in our times. From this holy place of deep respect and honor, the beings of this world will continue to reveal themselves to us. Even the deeply painful events of our lives can perhaps, over time, give birth to knowledge and understanding that both soothe us and ask something more of us in equal measure. Conversation Notes and ReferencesThe painting that Patrick mentions as a personal icon of dead or dust knowledge can be viewed here. The biblical image of stealing or grasping for knowledge can be found in Mark 14: 51 - 52. The story of Abraham and Sarah sending Ishmael and Hagar out into the desert can be found in Genesis 21: 8 - 21. The Beatitudes can be found in Matthew 5: 3 - 12.

Laura Paulson is Principal at Gagosian Art Advisory where she has recently advised on the sale of David M. Solinger's collection which featured the much-talked about Willem de Kooning "Collage." Earlier this year, Paulson also advised on the sale of the Macklowe collection which galvanized the market and was briefly the most valuable single-owner collection ever sold. In this podcast, Paulson discusses the strategy behind the Solinger heirs decision not to take a global guarantee or third-party guarantees on any of the lots. The result was a 100% sell-through rate on the collection. From her vantage point as a former senior specialist at both Sotheby's and Christie's and in her role as advisor to collections reaching their term, Paulson has a valuable perspective on the current market as well as a considered view as to how the next few years might play out.
According to former lorry driver turned Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic, Jerry Saltz, art represents "the greatest operating system our species has ever devised to explore consciousness." That is, of course, until they invented the podcast. On this episode, Ryan and Lydia Porter had the distinct pleasure of talking all things visual with America's most famous, and in some corners of the internet, infamous, art critic. In his new book, "Art Is Life", Saltz draws on two decades of work to offer a real-time survey of contemporary art as a barometer of our times. Chronicling a period punctuated by dramatic turning points - from the cultural reset of 9/11 to the rolling social crises of today - Saltz traces how visionary artists have both documented and challenged the culture.Art Is Life offers Saltz's eye-opening appraisals of trailblazers like Kara Walker, Hilma af Klint and Jasper Johns; provocateurs like Jeff Koons, Richard Prince and Marina Abramovic; and visionaries like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. With his signature blend of candour and conviction, Jerry Saltz argues in Art Is Life for the importance of the fearless artist. The result is an openhearted and irresistibly readable appraisal by one of our most important cultural observers.Jerry spoke to us about everything from Tracey Emin to Dolly Parton, to the bankrupt FTX billionaire currently making headlines. We debated the merits of the art market, to whether or not we British are capable of transcending our literary roots to paint what he calls, "the bullsh*t American sublime." While rarely succinct, he is never boring, and full of tremendous curiosity, intelligence, and an enthusiasm for art and artists that cannot be ignored.
Born in Detroit, Lillian Dodson has done some amazing things in her long life, including being a part of the New York art scene for 55 years. She met and married Stanley Twardowicz, a painter and art instructor who inspired her to paint. Stanley introduced her to the "Abstract Impressionists" of the day, including Jackson Pollack, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline and Willem de Kooning. She got to be part of these incredible artists' regular meetings at a pub in Grenich Village, talking about anything other than art. Lillian and Stanley both taught art at the prestigious private school, Hofstra University. Lillian went on to explore pottery, felting (particularly the most amazing hats), and loves being experimental. She is an absolutely fascinating character as she causes us to become completely absorbed in her experiences. Lillian has lived in North Idaho for the last eight years near her two sons, both creative in their own way.

This week's tips are brought to you buy New York city auction houses. It's going to be a busy fall in the art auction world. Paul Allen's Art Collection Headed to Auction The late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, was an avid art collector and it's all going to auction. It's valued at 1 billion dollars. What can you get? One of my favorites is Gustav Klimpt's Birch Trees. It inspired me for more than one of my collage musical tree paintings. You could also grab Georgia O'Keeffe's White rose and works from Agnes Martin and Louise Bourgeois. There doesn't seem to be a recession when it comes to major collectors. This is expected to sell for the highest ever in art-auction history. Grace Hartigan and the Ninth Street Women Her work received new attention when it was part of an exhibit in Denver. She was also featured in the book Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art. Elaine and Willem de Kooning Elaine de Kooning was an accomplished landscape and portrait artist active in the Abstract Expressionist movement of the mid-twentieth century. I knew about Willem and Elaine de Kooning, but I wasn't aware that they had such a turbulent history. The couple had what was later called an open marriage; they both were casual about sex and about each other's affairs. They separated for years to reunite again later in life. Elaine's art reflected the turbulence similar to today's world of conflict and uncertainty. You can find out more about her influences in the book Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art.

Offering a fresh perspective on the influence of the American southwest—and particularly West Texas—on the New York art world of the 1950s, Three Women Artists: Expanding Abstract Expressionism in the American West (Texas A&M UP, 2022) aims to establish the significance of itinerant teaching and western travel as a strategic choice for women artists associated with traditional centers of artistic authority and population in the eastern United States. The book is focused on three artists: Elaine de Kooning, Jeanne Reynal, and Louise Nevelson. In their travels to and work in the High Plains, they were inspired to innovate their abstract styles and introduce new critical dialogues through their work. These women traveled west for the same reason artists often travel to new places: they found paid work, markets, patrons, and friends. This Middle American context offers us a “decentered” modernism—demanding that we look beyond our received truths about Abstract Expressionism. Authors Amy Von Lintel and Bonnie Roos demonstrate that these women's New York avant-garde, abstract styles were attractive to Panhandle-area ranchers, bankers, and aspiring art students. Perhaps as importantly, they show that these artists' aesthetics evolved in light of their regional experiences. Offering their work as a supplement and corrective to the frameworks of patriarchal, East Coast ethnocentrism, Von Lintel and Roos make the case for Texas as influential in the national art scene of the latter half of the twentieth century. Kirstin L. Ellsworth has a Ph.D. in the History of Art from Indiana University and is Associate Professor of Art History at California State University Dominguez Hills.

“I had heard the tale and knew what to expect, but it was by far the most damaged painting I had seen. When it arrived, it came into the studio and the damage was almost all that you could see.” In 2017 Willem de Kooning's painting Woman-Ochre returned to the University of Arizona Museum of Art (UAMA) more than 30 years after it had been stolen off the gallery walls. Because the theft and subsequent treatment of the work had caused significant damage, the UAMA enlisted the Getty Museum and Getty Conservation Institute to help repair the painting. When the work arrived at the Getty in 2019, the damage was so extreme that it was all paintings conservator Laura Rivers could see; prominent cracks and flaking paint obscured the artwork itself. Rivers worked alongside her colleague Douglas MacLennan, a conservation scientist who used advanced analytic methods like X-ray fluorescence and microfade testing to inform their conservation work.

California has the highest gas prices in the nation, and a $0.03 per gallon tax increase will kick in this July. Lawmakers keep debating whether to suspend the gas tax or give rebates. “Woman-Ochre,” a long-lost masterpiece by Willem de Kooning, is now on view at the Getty Center. The painting's theft and recovery is like a heist movie plot. Martha Mitchell invited two journalists to rifle through Watergate papers to “nail” her husband John Mitchell, the disgraced Nixon attorney general and campaign manager. Critics review the newest film releases: “Lightyear,” “Cha Cha Real Smooth,” “Official Competition,” and “Spiderhead.”

Why haven't we been talking about JLo more here? Well, we're about to remedy that—and fill ya in on more, more, more design trends that are speaking to us right now. The women artist biographies/books Claire will be picking up include Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five PaAnne Truittinters and the Movement by Mary Gabriel, Daybook: The Journal of an Artist by Anne Truitt, and Everything She Touched: The Life of Ruth Asawa by Marilyn Chase. If you're also looking to do a JLo deep-dive, we recommend reading How to Fake It in Hollywood by Ava Wilder, Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman, the story of the full-page ad Ben took out back when, Vulture's Peoria, Illinois, analysis re: Marry Me, and this GQ article about THE dress. Also, listen to Just Like Us: The Tabloids that Changed America hosted by Clare Malone and watch the music video that Ben made to “On My Way To You” for Jen for Valentine's Day. In the home-design realm, some inspiration comes from two incredible New Orleans hotels, Hotel St. Vincent and Hotel Peter and Paul. Fellow lovers of yellow furniture should bask in Billy Cotton space for Grace Morton, Sophie Ashby's giant yellow velvet couch, and this kid's room. If you're thinking of doing some furniture-painting on your own (inspiration: Matilda Goad's London home!), see Erin Boyle of Reading My Tea Leaves make-over a dresser on IG and read her guides for refreshing trim and kitchen cabinets. Wood paneling—SO COOL. See: Sound View Hotel, Les Arcs ski resort, Jane Hallworth for Tinder co-founder Sean Rad and his Wife Lizzie Grover Rad, and Wall for Apricots. On the Swedish tile stove front, we love painter Mary Nelson Sinclair's dining room, Victor Hugo's fireplace, Lindholm Kakelugnar, and this explainer from Messy Nessy Chic.
