El fotógrafo Nicanor García comparte en El Placer de Viajar sus trucos para hacer fotos en los viajes y para tener éxito en Instagram. En este nuevo episodio de El Placer de Viajar , el podcast de viajer de Libertad Digital y esRadio, nuestros anfitriones presentadores Carmelo Jordá y Kelu Robles se sumergen en el apasionante mundo de la fotografía de viajes. Para empezar, se recuerdando la importancia histórica de la primera cámara Kodak, patentada por George Eastman, un hito que democratizó la captura de momentos especiales hasta tal punto que hoy en día la fotografía es una parte fundamental de cualquier viaje, influyendo incluso en la elección de los destinos turísticos por parte de los viajeros. Además, la primera parte del espacio cuenta con la participación de Eva Sanchidrián, representante de Mundomar Cruceros, quien analiza el notable incremento en la demanda de cruceros premium por el Caribe. Este tipo de viaje permite a los turistas explorar la inmensa diversidad de la región —que abarca desde las Antillas hasta las islas Vírgenes— sin la incomodidad de deshacer las maletas continuamente. Además, las navieras de lujo ofrecen servicios personalizados y una gastronomía de primer nivel a precios muy competitivos, desmontando el mito de que el Caribe es únicamente un destino para la época invernal. Y por último, recuerda que en esta página web y en el teléfono 911 975 520 los oyentes de El Placer de Viajar y esRadio pueden reservar su crucero con descuento. El invitado estrella de este episodio es Nicanor García, un reconocido fotógrafo, arquitecto y creador de contenido con más de 750.000 seguidores en Instagram. García explica cómo su andadura en la fotografía comenzó de manera fortuita y se consolidó durante la crisis de la construcción de 2008, cuando empezó a documentar sus propios proyectos arquitectónicos. Su formación académica como arquitecto le proporcionó una mirada única y muy visual sobre el espacio, permitiéndole plasmar la relación entre los edificios y su entorno a través del objetivo. Al abordar el eterno debate sobre el equipo fotográfico, el experto aconseja a los principiantes empezar a practicar con los dispositivos que ya poseen, destacando la excelente resolución de los teléfonos móviles actuales. Para García, la clave de una buena fotografía reside en la mirada de quien la toma y en el dominio de la composición, más que en la sofisticación de la máquina. No obstante, Carmelo Jordá matiza que, aunque los móviles son herramientas muy útiles, la experiencia y el proceso de aprendizaje que brinda una cámara tradicional resultan mucho más divertidos y enriquecedores. Respecto a la técnica y el uso del modo manual, García sugiere comenzar en automático para concentrarse plenamente en la composición y la búsqueda de la luz antes de adentrarse en los ajustes complejos. Asimismo, comparte valiosos consejos compositivos, como la importancia de no cortar los elementos esenciales y de evitar situar siempre el horizonte o el sujeto principal en el centro geométrico de la imagen. Introducir elementos en el primer término para dotar de profundidad y tridimensionalidad a la fotografía es otro de los trucos recomendados para capturar la esencia de un lugar de forma más dinámica. La postproducción y edición digital también son tratadas en la conversación. García y Jordá coinciden en que la edición debe ser una herramienta sutil que realce la realidad sin llegar a desvirtuarla, buscando siempre la naturalidad en la imagen final. En el contexto de los viajes, se debate sobre la conveniencia de investigar previamente los destinos; mientras que García prefiere documentarse para no perderse localizaciones de gran valor, Jordá aboga por dejarse sorprender. Finalmente, llegan los consejos referentes a todo relativo a después del viaje, ideas para manejar la cuenta de Instagram y consejos como realizar copias de seguridad de todo el material gráfico acumulado para evitar pérdidas irreparables. En la sección dedicada a los hoteles, Kelu Robles describe con entusiasmo su experiencia en el hotel Palacio de Santa Paula en Granada. Este establecimiento de cinco estrellas, perteneciente al grupo Marriott, destaca por estar ubicado en un antiguo convento del siglo XVI que conserva un espectacular claustro rehabilitado. El hotel también alberga una casa morisca del siglo XII, ofreciendo a los huéspedes una inmersión única en la historia de la ciudad de la Alhambra mediante una decoración rústica muy cuidada y un servicio de máxima calidad. La gastronomía de este hotel granadino merece una mención especial gracias a su restaurante El Claustro, liderado por el chef Luismi Luque. Robles destaca el desayuno del hotel por su excepcional surtido de productos andaluces de alta calidad, como el aceite de oliva virgen extra y el jamón ibérico de bellota. Además, el restaurante ofrece una sofisticada propuesta de almuerzo y cena que rinde homenaje a la gastronomía tradicional granadina mediante técnicas culinarias modernas, consolidando la tendencia de que los grandes hoteles pueden albergar restaurantes de primerísimo nivel. Finalmente, Santi Molina cierra el programa con sus habituales noticias del sector turístico, destacando la nueva conexión directa de United Airlines entre Bilbao y Nueva York, disponible durante la temporada estival. También menciona la apertura en Sevilla del hotel Sevilla, que se une a la prestigiosa marca Preferred Hotels & Resorts. En el ámbito cultural, Molina recomienda la exposición sobre Zurbarán en la National Gallery de Londres y la gran retrospectiva dedicada a Marcel Duchamp en el MoMA de Nueva York, citas indispensables para los amantes del arte que viajen este verano.

È il caso di un'azienda orgogliosamente made in Italy che celebra quest'anno il suo 65esimo compleanno: Piscine Castiglione. 70 mercati, 14 filiali nel mondo, 6 Olimpiadi con 193 record mondiali, centri wellness e piscine spa realizzate per le più importanti catene alberghiere, 65 anni fa a Castiglione delle Stiviere, in provincia di Mantova, nasceva Piscine Castiglione, oggi leader mondiale nell'ambito della progettazione e realizzazione di piscine sia per il settore residenziale che per grandi impianti sportivi. Un brand orgogliosamente made in Italy nato in un contesto in cui un vero mercato della piscina privata in Italia non esisteva. Al ceo Roberto Colletto, abbiamo chiesto di raccontarci quale fu l'intuizione di allora e di raccontarci un mondo che ci parla di innovazione, ricerca, sostenibilità e dialoga con il mondo dell'ospitalità, del design e dello sportFocus sui trend dedicato all'Ai retail: quando l'intelligenza artificiale punta a fare la differenza nell'esperienza d'acquisto.

In this first episode of the new series, Lisa Yuskavage talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Yuskavage, was born in Philadelphia in 1962 and lives today in New York, makes paintings that involve a cast of stylised and often eroticised, mostly female characters set within invented interiors and landscapes. Deeply engaged with the history of art and representation, Lisa's pictures explore centuries-old traditions and genres and play with them, along a sliding scale from homage to subversion, sometimes within the space of one canvas. Her figures can derive from everyday observation, draw from soft-porn magazines or a wealth of other pop-cultural sources, or quote from historic paintings. But set within enigmatic spaces, accompanied by a range of props and objects, and allied to Lisa's intoxicating colour sense, they are encapsulated in a singular realm of imagination and unleashed into the peculiar communion between this artist and us—one which can be delightful and disquieting, often at once.She reflects on the “emotional formalism” at the heart of her work, her early visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and trip to Italy and their transformative effect on her work. She discusses the seismic effect of seeing a Giovanni Bellini painting in Venice, the ongoing influence of Marcel Duchamp's Étant Donnés and her admiration for, among others, Agnes Martin, Philip Guston and Laura Owens. She talks about the poet Wallace Stevens's impact on her work and her interest in the films of Stanley Kubrick. Plus, she gives insight into her life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Lisa Yuskavage, David Zwirner, New York, until 26 June. Hosted on Acast.

Nous sommes en avril 1917, à New York au Grand Central Palace, sur Lexington Avenue. C'est là, à partir du 9, que se tient la première exposition de la « Society of Independent Artists ». Marcel Duchamp, le plasticien français pas encore naturalisé américain, en est membre directeur. Pour son premier salon, la Société américaine autorise librement tout membre à exposer l'objet de son choix moyennant un droit s'élevant à six dollars. Le principe défendu est qu'aucun artiste ne peut être refusé pour « raisons esthétiques ». Duchamp décide d'envoyer, sous le pseudonyme de Richard Mutt, un urinoir en porcelaine destine à être présenté comme une sculpture. Mais les choses vont prendre une tournure inattendue. En effet, l'objet n'est pas exposé au prétexte que « sa place n'est pas dans une exposition d'art et que ce n'est pas une œuvre d'art, selon quelque définition que ce soit ». La décision est prise par William Glackens, le président de la Société des Artistes Indépendants, au terme d'un vote à la majorité qui a réuni les membres du comité directeur, la veille du vernissage, contrairement donc au principe suivant lequel il n'y a pas de jury. Les motifs du refus vont du « immoral et vulgaire » au « pièce commerciale ressortissant de l'art du plombier ». Au moment où Duchamp apprend que son objet est refusé, il démissionne du comité directeur de la société, sans dévoiler toutefois son lien avec Richard Mutt. L'exposition se déroulera normalement, avec succès, et personne, jusqu'à la clôture, ne verra l'urinoir resté caché derrière une cloison du Grand Central Palace. Mais la polémique va s'enclencher à la suite de la publication d'un article anonyme paru dans « The Blind Man », une revue satirique fondée par Duchamp et quelques autres. On peut y lire « Les seules œuvres d'art que l'Amérique ait données sont ses tuyauteries et ses ponts ». L'argument consiste à démontrer que l'important n'est pas que Mutt ait fabriqué cette sculpture avec ses mains ou non, mais qu'il ait choisi un objet de la vie quotidienne en lui retirant sa valeur d'usage avec un nouveau titre et un nouveau point de vue ; conséquemment, la création consiste en une nouvelle pensée de l'objet. » L'urinoir de Duchamp passera à la postérité sous le titre de « Fountain ». A l'époque, le terme « installation » n'est pas encore employé pour parler de ce type d'œuvre qui « installe » un rapport particulier avec l'espace, le temps et les spectateurs. Revenons aujourd'hui aux origines et à la signification d'un art qui interroge, déconcerte et parfois dérange : l'installation.

Three artists who in different ways connect to the Surrealist movement are the subject of this week's podcast. At the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the first major US survey of the full career of Marcel Duchamp since 1973 opens this weekend, before travelling later in the year to Philadelphia. Ben Luke talks to its curators at MoMA, Ann Temkin and Michelle Kuo. A new book, Dorothea Tanning: A Surrealist World, exploring the extraordinary life and work of the Surrealist artist, is published this week by Yale University Press and Ben speaks to its author, Alyce Mahon. And this episode's Work of the Week is Down Below (1940), a painting by another of the great women artists of Surrealism, the British Mexican painter Leonora Carrington. It was made while she was hospitalised in Santander in Spain in the early stages of the Second World War, before her pivotal journey to Latin America. The picture is part of an exhibition at the Freud Museum in London, The Symptomatic Surreal, which also features drawings from Carrington's sketchbooks.

Nous sommes au tout début du XVIe siècle, à une époque où l'Europe débat vivement des vices humains, de la vanité et du ridicule social. Des débats influencés, notamment, par Érasme de Rotterdam, le chanoine et philosophe humaniste, auteur d'un essai qui va marquer durablement les siècles « L'Éloge de la folie ». Un ouvrage dans lequel le théologien tourne en dérision, entre autres sujets, les femmes cherchant à masquer leur vieillesse. L'essai est publié en 1511. Deux ans plus tard environ, Quinten Massys, né à Louvain, peint une figure grotesque, au visage marqué de rides profondes, au nez écrasé, aux traits hypertrophiés, une figure peut-être inspirée d'échanges de textes ou de dessins satiriques avec d'autres artistes, on sait que Massys et Léonard de Vinci ont échangé des caricatures. L'œuvre passera à la postérité sous le titre de « La laide duchesse ». Depuis l'Antiquité, l'art n'a jamais cessé d'explorer le rapport entre beauté, pouvoir et représentation, même dans ses formes les plus inattendues. Si les Grecs classiques privilégient l'harmonie et l'idéalisation, ils n'ont pourtant jamais ignoré la laideur, notamment dans leurs créatures hybrides, monstrueuses ou grotesques. Le Moyen Âge fera de cette laideur un outil d'enseignement moral, visible dans les gargouilles, les démons et les scènes infernales sculptés sur les cathédrales. À la Renaissance, malgré le retour aux canons classiques, la laideur reste présente chez des artistes fascinés par l'étrange, comme Bosch et ses visions chimériques. Au XIXᵉ siècle, le réalisme revendique l'importance du laid pour représenter la vérité sociale, loin de toute idéalisation académique. Avec le XXᵉ siècle, les avant-gardes transforment la laideur en un manifeste, comme le montre l »'Urinoir » de Marcel Duchamp, qui érige un objet trivial en œuvre d'art contestataire. Ce geste radical brise l'idée que seul le beau mérite la dignité artistique et ouvre la voie à de nouvelles formes d'expression. Dans l'art contemporain, la laideur devient un langage critique, permettant de dénoncer les violences du monde et l'absurdité des normes imposées. Les artistes n'hésitent plus à utiliser matières organiques, déchets ou dispositifs dérangeants pour questionner notre tolérance esthétique et émotionnelle. De quelles manières l'art a-t-il fait de la laideur un autre miroir du monde et de notre humanité ?

Un invito a non aver paura di cambiare rotta, a non smettere mai di cercare, a definire una propria voce chiara, personale, indipendente.------------------------------I link dell'episodio:- L'account Instagram di Monica Bolzoni Bianca e Blu https://www.instagram.com/monicabolzonibiancaeblu/- La mostra "Bianca e Blu Monica Bolzoni.

A história da capital do Brasil, de sua idealização até sua concretização, é o tema da exposição Brasília: da Utopia à Capital, em cartaz no Palácio de Iéna, em Paris, até dia 21 de março. O objetivo da mostra é evidenciar a relevância geopolítica, histórica, social e cultural da cidade. Um projeto iniciado em 2010, que já passou por mais de 16 países, reunindo arquitetura e arte. “A gente trouxe uma coleção com mais de 300 obras sobre a história de Brasília. Então, a gente fala desde 1750 até os dias atuais”, explica a curadora Danielle Athayde. “É um relato histórico dessa saga que foi a construção da cidade nesse período”, diz. Toda a história de Brasília é retraçada, desde 1750, quando o Marquês de Pombal sugere ao príncipe-regente, em Portugal, mudar a capital da costa para o interior do Brasil, até a decisão do presidente Juscelino Kubitschek, que, em 1955, transformou a utopia em realidade. Além de croquis de Oscar Niemeyer, o acervo conta com documentos importantes, como o memorial descritivo do Plano Piloto, projeto de Lúcio Costa. “O Lúcio Costa participa do concurso de criação da cidade e escreve esse projeto, que foi selecionado. É um projeto simples, mas muito original e que dá origem ao Plano Piloto”, explica a curadora. Também estão expostas fotos históricas de Marcel Gautherot e Peter Scheier, fotógrafos que documentaram a construção da capital e cujos trabalhos mostram a utilização do concreto e do ferro nas cúpulas do Congresso Nacional, materiais pouco usados nas construções brasileiras da época. Cartas trocadas entre Oscar Niemeyer, Lúcio Costa e Le Corbusier mostram o entusiasmo do arquiteto franco-suíço, que afirma que os projetos do Palácio da Alvorada e da Catedral contêm algumas das formas mais ousadas da arquitetura. Le Corbusier também afirma que Brasília é a cidade “mais arrojada que o Ocidente já criou”. Passeio histórico A exposição faz um passeio histórico pelas obras dos escultores Bruno Giorgi, Alfredo Ceschiatti, Maria Martins e da artista francesa Marianne Peretti, autora dos vitrais da Catedral de Brasília. Também traz materiais do paisagista Roberto Burle Marx e do pintor, escultor e desenhista Athos Bulcão. Além de documentos arquitetônicos, a mostra conta com obras da Coleção Brasília do Acervo Izolete e Domício Pereira, que reúne grandes artistas modernistas de Brasília, entre eles os contemporâneos Alex Flemming, Carlos Bracher, Naura Timm — com as esculturas Mandrágoras do Cerrado — e João Facó. A Brasília de hoje é representada em uma grande maquete com imagens aéreas da capital, que mostram o desenvolvimento da cidade e de seu entorno nos últimos 65 anos. Danielle Athayde ressalta que “são três toneladas de acervo” que mostram ao visitante uma cidade menos conhecida que Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, mas que tem muito a oferecer. “A importância dessa exposição é justamente mostrar que a capital do Brasil respira arte e cultura e que a gente está preparado para receber turistas para conhecerem o que temos de melhor, que é a nossa arquitetura, esse projeto tão maravilhoso que foi a construção de uma capital única no mundo”, salienta. “O público fica muito emocionado quando vem conhecer a nossa história, então é isso que dá vida ao projeto.” Local emblemático A exposição acontece no Palácio de Iéna, sede do Conselho Econômico, Social e Ambiental da França e um lugar emblemático. O arquiteto do edifício, Auguste Perret, foi um dos primeiros a compreender a linguagem arquitetônica do concreto armado, influenciando gerações de arquitetos, entre eles Oscar Niemeyer. Esta relação entre França e Brasil também está fortemente presente na exposição, por meio dos artistas expostos. “Lúcio Costa, por exemplo, nasceu em Toulon”, revela Danielle Athayde. “Marianne Peretti é francesa. Maria Martins teve uma relação de amizade muito forte com o (Marcel) Duchamp. Então, não existem coincidências, as coisas vão se ligando. E o público francês é muito aberto à arte, então essa exposição causa bastante impacto e presença também”, diz, salientando que, no primeiro dia, a exposição recebeu 600 visitantes. Brasília: Da Utopia à Capital também inclui a conferência Arquiteturas Utópicas, Auguste Perret e Oscar Niemeyer, que pode ser vista na página do YouTube Brasília Museu Aberto, e a mostra de cinema Brasília Viva, com os filmes Vik Muniz – A Arte no Caos, de Jimi Figueiredo, e JK – O Futuro Chamado ao Presente, de Fábio Chateaubriand, que acontece na Maison du Brésil nos dias 19 e 20 de março às 19h. A entrada para os eventos é gratuita.

Dupla de artistas gaúchos explora universo e linguagem em exposição em Marselha

O Fundo Regional de Arte Contemporânea de Marselha (Frac Sud), no sul da França, acolhe até 15 de novembro a exposição "Champ étoilé" (Campo estrelado), da dupla de artistas gaúchos Angela Detanico e Rafael Lain. A mostra é um mergulho na imensidão do universo, contemplando linguagem e instigando o público a refletir sobre os mistérios do cosmos.  Daniella Franco, enviada especial da RFI a Marselha Composta por seis obras guiadas pela luz como elemento central, “Champ étoilé” articula peças que se entrelaçam para criar pontes entre beleza, poesia e ciência. O conjunto oferece um recorte emblemático da pesquisa de Detanico e Lain, marcada pela linguística e pela exploração da relação entre tempo e espaço. "É uma exposição que nos fala das nossas origens, dos seres vivos, desde o Big Bang. Mais de 13 bilhões de anos depois, essa luz que criou a vida na Terra, continua existindo. Então, essa reflexão nos convida a nos descentralizar e a compreender que, nesta cadeia ambiental e do universo, nós somos apenas um elo", diz a curadora da mostra e diretora do Frac Sud, Muriel Enjalran.  Para ela, as obras de Angela e Rafael vão além da poesia do cosmos, abordando também o lugar dos seres humanos no mundo, algo que não é novo para os brasileiros. "O Brasil, com seus povos indígenas, reflete há muito tempo sobre essa intercorrelação dos astros, da natureza e da humanidade", ressalta.  Angela Detanico explica que a ideia era colocar em diálogo diferentes momentos da história da luz e do universo. "As obras fazem um pouco esse passeio pelo tempo e pelo espaço, falando um pouquinho também de linguagem, que é um dos nossos temas de predileção. Então nós temos o sol, a lua, estrelas, galáxias muito distantes. A nossa ideia era realmente criar essas diferentes temporalidades", diz.   "Para nós é importante a compreensão de que toda a matéria do universo estava, no passado, unida em um mesmo ponto. Então, tudo faz parte de um todo. Mesmo que a gente tenha a experiência e a consciência da individualidade, no fundo, nós somos todos parte de um sistema que se equilibra e que é interdependente", completa Rafael.  Telescópios e campos de flores Entre as obras exibidas, está a monumental instalação "Floraison de la Lumière" (Florescimento da Luz), concebida no âmbito do Prêmio Marcel Duchamp 2024, a maior recompensa de artes plásticas e visuais da França, para o qual Angela e Rafael foram nomeados. A peça, exposta no ano passado no Centro Pompidou, em Paris, associa imagens de telescópios a fotografias de campos de flores feitas pelos artistas.  Outro destaque da exposição é a instalação "Les Mers de lune" (Os Mares da Lua), projeções em um disco de pedras brancas, que reproduzem uma espécie de jardim zen. A instalação é acompanhada de uma etérea trilha sonora composta para uma peça de dança apresentada por Angela e Rafael em Marselha em 2013. Outras peças foram concebidas especialmente para a exposição "Champ étoilé" , como a luminosa tela "Souleu". A obra é uma representação do sol feita na língua provençal de Marselha. Já "Analema"é um trabalho em texto que evoca os 365 dias do ano.  Angela e Rafael são naturais de Caxias do Sul (RS) e viveram mais de vinte anos na França, antes da recente decisão de retornar ao Brasil. Para eles, todo o trabalho desenvolvido se conecta com o país. "Tudo vem de lá e acaba lá, com essa natureza tão presente no Brasil, além desta conexão com os elementos que a gente carrega", observa Angela.

Pablo Echaurren"L'eterna periferia"Il Neanderthal e DuchampBordeaux Edizioniwww.bordeauxedizioni.itIn questo libro affascinante e visionario, Pablo Echaurren intreccia archeologia, arte contemporanea, filosofia e autobiografia per riflettere sul senso profondo dell'umano, a partire dalla figura del Neanderthal. L'autore esplora la “periferia” come luogo fisico, mentale e simbolico, opponendola alla centralità egemonica della storia ufficiale, dell'arte istituzionalizzata e del pensiero dominante. Muovendosi tra le selci preistoriche della bonifica pontina e i readymade di Marcel Duchamp, Echaurren immagina un'altra umanità: meno aggressiva, più contemplativa, forse più gentile. Attraverso passeggiate, osservazioni, intuizioni e confronti con studiosi e scoperte scientifiche, il libro propone un'alternativa utopica alla narrazione evolutiva e culturale del sapiens, elevando il Neanderthal a simbolo di una possibilità diversa, non ancora del tutto svanita. Un invito a “cambiare specie”, a immaginare nuove forme di esistenza, più umane dell'umano.Pablo Echaurren (Roma, 22 gennaio 1951) è un pittore, fumettista e scrittore italiano.La sua produzione si è sviluppata all'insegna della contaminazione fra generi, fra alto e basso, arte e arti applicate, secondo un approccio progettuale, manuale e mentale, tipico del laboratorio. Ne discende un'idea dell'artista come artefice e inventore a tutto campo (pittura, ceramica, illustrazione, fumetto, scrittura, video), indifferente agli steccati e alle gerarchie che solitamente tendono a comprimere la creatività.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

SCAD Savannah – Summer 2024 – Exhibitions – Anthony Akinbola – ”Good Hair” – Artist Portrait – SCAD Museum of Art, Gallery 109 – Photography Courtesy of SCAD Born in Columbia,Missouri, Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola, is a first-generation American raised by Nigerian parents in the United States and Nigeria. His layered, richly colored compositions celebrate and signify the distinct cultures that shape his identity. The artist's signature Camouflage paintings, consisting of single and multi-panel works, utilize the ubiquitous du-rag as their primary material. Universally available and possessed of significant cultural context, the du-rag represents for Akinbola a readymade object that engages the conceptual strategies of Marcel Duchamp and other significant artistic predecessors. Throughout his work Akinbola unpacks the rituals and histories connecting Africa and America, addressing the power of fetishization around cultural objects. His previous interview on Yale University radio can be found here. Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola recently was recently selected for the Pullman Yards Artist Residency, which will begin in early 2026.

Nous sommes le 20 octobre 1942, à New York, à Manhattan, au numéro 30 de la 57e rue. C'est à cette adresse que Peggy Guggenheim ouvre sa galerie d'art. Elle l'appelle « Art of this Century » (L'Art de ce siècle). Pour sa première exposition, elle présente Paul Klee, l'artiste d'origine allemande, naturalisé suisse, mort deux ans plus tôt, qui sera reconnu comme l'un des artistes majeurs de la première moitié du XXe siècle. C'est un événement artistique et mondain que cette inauguration. La presse rapporte : « Les éclairages rendaient les gens complètement fous. Une foule imposante arpentait les lieux (...) poussant, généralement en français, de grands cris d'admiration. On s'extasiait surtout devant la mise en scène de Kiesler le décorateur, et on regardait peu les tableaux. » A l'occasion d'une deuxième exhibition consacrée, notamment, à Marcel Duchamp, un journaliste du « Time » évoque les artistes surréalistes exilés aux Etats-Unis et écrit : « Elle fait pratiquement vivre le groupe en achetant ses toiles. » « Nous nous devons de comprendre l'art de notre temps : c'est un devoir moral », déclarera Peggy Guggenheim qui, avec le temps et les moyens financiers dont elle disposait, s'était lancé comme défi d'acheter une œuvre par jour. La mécène et collectionneuse américaine a joué un rôle crucial dans l'histoire de l'art du vingtième siècle. Ses collections racontent les soubresauts politiques, sociaux et économiques des deux côtés de l'Atlantique, durant trois décennies. Avec nous : Anne Hustache, historienne de l'art.

Tai Shani talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work.Shani makes sculpture and installations, paintings, performances and films, underpinned by writing that is experimental in approach and singular in its voice. Shani, who was was born in 1976 in London, where she lives and works today, creates bodies of work that evolve and expand across her diverse media, often over several years. They take particular cultural forms, historical events or theoretical ideas as a cornerstone in creating worlds that are at once fantastical and utopian, yet shot through with contemporary political and social ideas and convictions. Tai's vision is fecund and colourful, and her aesthetic enters the sphere of the epic, the sublime and the gothic. She reflects with particular profundity on how the modes in which she engages have been historically gendered, and reimagines them for today's audiences. She reflects on writing as the cornerstone of her work, how her political outlook has shifted through her various projects, reflects on the revolutionary possibilities of art in a time of extreme right wing politics, and her enduring ambitions for her own work: “I still want to split the atom.” She discusses the early impact of seeing Ophelia by John Everett Millais, and how it ​​prompted in her a desire “to be able to move someone through an act of creativity”. She recalls seeing Valie Export at Camden Art Centre and how it “completely blew my mind, and nothing was the same afterwards”. She describes the deeply personal circumstances behind Epilogue, a new work responding to Marcel Duchamp's Étant Donnés. She reflects on the dramatic impact on her of writers including Christine de Pizan, Amy Hollywood and Octavia Butler, and of filmmakers including David Lynch and Carl Dreyer. Plus, she gives insights into life in the studio, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: “What is art for?”Tai Shani: The Spell or The Dream, Somerset House, 8 August-14 September; Tai Shani, Gathering, London, 26 September–8 November. Shani has a work in Dulwich Picture Gallery in London's new sculpture park which is unveiled as part of an opening weekend on 6-7 September; her sculpture for the High Line in New York will remain on view until March 2026.What is art for?

Check then out on SHOPAssociation.orgLouisa Whitmore is a TikTok creator phenom whose content is about architecture. With almost 400 thousand followers her no holds-barred, straight from the heart and to the point commentary about the buildings she loves and loves to hate, brings a user experience point of view and accessible critique into the mainstream.We'll get to all of that in a moment but first though, a few thoughts…                  *                                  *                                  *The great thing about doing this podcast is it gives me an opportunity to rethink some of the assertions that have held to be true and cross check whether in fact they are immutable or whether there is room for challenging myself and maybe digging into some subtleties and nuances… and seeing things a different way.Like for example the idea of criticism – who does it and its value…I have to admit I haven't been particularly fond of the idea of critics for a very long time. This would be generally true of the kind who dole out the negative kind of commentary.Years ago when commenting on something, I think it was some art piece, and my son said to me “…dad why is it that you never really say you hate anything…”which I sort of thought was kind of funny then. I think I responded “…well because I don't really hate anything… I try to always view things from the other side - a different point of view. I try to get beyond the visceral reaction and look to design principles and comment from a place of applying principles to the work and see how they line up…and then make a comment that is based yes on whether I simply like it, the colors, shapes, energy, feeling , may be a message it is trying to impart AND  whether I can see the value in it based on principles determined to be generally accepted by experts in the domain…” so yeah I don't really hate things…If I apply the idea of casting judgement on art, music, architecture… it got me thinking… again…What is the value of judgement? Is it to determine the appropriateness of something to a particular context or challenge?I have my favorite architects and artists and musical performers, I like different styles and periods. But I don't listen to heavy metal (though my sons love it). I don't know that I can say that I hate it. Perhaps I just don't understand it and maybe if I did, it still wouldn't jibe with me.It just doesn't go in my body well. It's a sensory mismatch.I don't hate it – It makes me agitated. So, I just don't listen to it. And I guess you could say the same thing for certain genres of art.For example… I'm not particularly crazy about a lot of contemporary art.I have a hard time understanding a performance artist dipping her hair in paint and swinging aloft from a rope while her hair drags across a canvas and the painting while on lookers wrapped in dimly lit light bulbs stand slightly by  selling for millions of dollars… it isn't something I quite get. And I know that authorized replicas of the Marcel Duchamp sculpture called the “Fountain” - which is a urinal - sell for somewhere between 3 and $4 million each and here's the kicker... apparently because the original has been lost the financial the value of the original piece is unknown and might be considered as being priceless. I don't know… it sort of leaves me just trying too hard... knowing I'm falling profoundly short of ascending to the intellectualized rarefied air that somehow makes this sort of thing makes sense. And I also suspect that if I'm voicing these concerns or questions that I am likely to get a lot of people commenting that my remarks point out my ignorance, that I just don't understand and I would …well…agree with them.I'm ok with that. Really.And I think I'm not alone in this category of not understanding contemporary art and the extraordinary prices that contemporary art paintings fetch at auctions and then again maybe if I did, I still wouldn't spend $25 million on a Rothko painting.The thing about critics, I think, is that we entrust these individuals with being in the know, of having deep insight, knowledge or experience into the making of the art. That these are people who understand its value and relevancy to culture and somehow able to unfold the deep meaning in the work whatever format the creativity comes in and to bestow upon us their opinion as if it is fact.The challenge of course is that I think there may be an ignorance in the public and that the deeper inner meaning of things is somehow held in reserve for the creators of the work or select few who follow it.But I've always had a challenge with the idea that the critic seems to have the extraordinary power to completely destroy the creative work as well as raise it to high levels of adulation and praise.I think that in some ways we have come to trust to the critic as certainly knowing more than we do and therefore what they say about a particular piece of art or architecture should be taken as truth and the presumed value of the creation lies in whether their commentary is positive or negative.How many people have not gone to see a movie because it only got 2 stars… and who said it should only have two stars?Maybe I would have found the comedy hilarious… but not the critic.I often don't even check reviews by the masses on restaurant or hotel booking sites and if I do read the reviews, I do it very carefully. I look to see what it was that these people did or didn't like. What it was that made their experience a must see or a definite red tomato. Personally, I dig to see if there is anything at a lower level that suggests what was driving the positive or negative review? What it was in this message that this particular critic is trying to convey?I've often thought that to be able to criticize art or other forms of creative invention you'd have to understand what it was the maker was intending to convey.You'd have to understand the basic ideas, for example, of composition to be able to determine whether a Jackson Pollock or a Kandinsky or a Basquiat was worth all the fuss and on what basis you were making the comments about the work.I guess it's not all critics that I have a problem with but maybe more those who simply present negative opinions. And it's not like I should even care that critic X didn't like thing Y. It was their opinion. Okay so they have an opinion. The challenge is the uninformed may come to accept the opinion as fact and turn away from somethings simply because some one says its not good.I guess the role of the professional critic is to study and assess the value of a creative work and pass judgment on the product based on facts and logical assertions. This is kind of like knowing a bit about composition before offering an opinion the write something off.It seems to me that the idea of a critic is to connect ideas, arrive at reasonable conclusions and perhaps open avenues for discussing new directions and fostering an awareness of ideas and cultural trends.It also seems to me that the role of the critic is to challenge our general assumptions about things to get us to look more deeply at our assertions and to get us to not simply accept things at face value but to continue to search for excellence, challenge the status quo, in all of the things that we bring into the world so that we don't fill it with the mundane or banal.There's something about the critic as ‘educator' - increasing our collective level of understanding of things, pointing out where things might likely be improved and offering positive commentary on what might be a series of next steps in order to develop the output and make it better - that I align with.And I know that the idea of making it ‘better' is full of all manner of subtext and necessity to consider contextual considerations… ‘better' for whom, for what and why?And maybe this is where I mostly land on the idea of the value of the critique is that of using constructive criticism for the value of enhancing people's understanding of a particular subject or giving the creator tools to go back to the drawing board, so to speak, and make it better.Jazz master saxophonist David Liebman wrote a concise piece on his website called “The Critic Dilemma: Criticism vs. Review”. He describes many of the same ideas about who's making he comments, are they objective facts or subjective opinions, and why should we trust one critic's opinion over another? Liebman differentiates between critique and a review:“…When the writer's opinion and taste is the focal point, this constitutes a critique. On the other hand, a review should be the dissemination of information with the desired intention being elucidation. The idea is that with this information, the listener is equipped to form his own opinion…”.And this is where this episode's guest Louisa Whitmore begins to fit into the story.When Louisa was 16 years old she began to share architecture commentary on Tik Tok. She blew up the social media sphere with posts that were personal and occasionally pointed. She came at her critiques of buildings not from the expert or architectural practioner point of view but from that of the user, the general public mindset.She didn't profess to be a building expert, to have deep knowledge in construction but rather to simply be part of the general public who experienced the built environment every day but who had little to nothing to do with how buildings got there in the first place.Her negative commentary on 432 Park Avenue - the luxury condo building designed by Rafael Viñoly and SLCE Architects – lit up the digisphere with 100s of thousands of followers lining up behind her to voice their impressions of this building. Most of them not very good I might add. Which was actually ok since there was a ton of press – not particularly good I might add – about problems with the building. Now, Louisa didn't know about these issues about the engineering, the building swaying (which would be natural by the way) and other problems but felt vindicated nevertheless with the press that effectively substantiated her intuitive feelings about this super-tall condo on the Central Park's edge.I see her posts more like David Leibman's construct of the ‘Review' – “…that with this information, the listener is equipped to form his own opinion…”.And opinions her followers had. 1000's of them.In the spirit of “…the dissemination of information with the desired intention being elucidation…” Whitmore turned her attention to projects thatfocused on Biophilia and how buildings with ample integration of plants seemed to simply feel better. Her noteriaty on Tik Tok, articulate whit, intuition and ability to articulate the ‘person on the street's' perception of the built environment, landed her the role as host of “the cable television documentary series “The Nature of Design”.Over the course of a number of episodes Whitmore tours properties talking about biophilic principles and with the support of a variety of experts ranging from architects to neuroscientists she dives into the science of how buildings with a biophilic approach effect our well-being…Whitmore is called a teenage architecture critic. While her rise on social media platforms may have been based on the building she loved to hate, it seems that she is using her notoriety to review and elucidate…. ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites:  https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

Born in 1890 to an aristocratic family in Rome, Elsa's life was anything but conventional. As a child, she released a box of fleas under her parents' dinner table and later staged a hunger strike to escape a Swiss convent. After a whirlwind marriage to a charming con man, she found herself as a single mother in New York, scraping by while mingling with avant-garde artists like Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. It wasn't until she moved to Paris and met legendary designer Paul Poiret that she discovered her true calling: inventing fashion. From surrealist collaborations with Salvador Dalí to creating her signature shocking pink, Schiaparelli defied norms, blending wit, art, and bold femininity. She gave us iconic designs like the lobster dress, the shoe hat, and the first wrap dress. A pioneer who refused to play by the rules, Elsa didn't just make clothes—she made statements.Follow Darrian@iamdarrian ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

Episode No. 690 features curators Vivien Greene and Michael Hartman. With Tracey Bashkoff, Greene is the co-curator of "Harmony & Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910-1930" at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. The exhibition surveys a transnational art movement that joined abstraction to dance, music, and poetry and that engaged with ideas of simultaneity across kaleidoscopic pictures and sculpture. Among the artists included in "Harmony & Dissonance" are Robert Delaunay, Sonia Delaunay, Marcel Duchamp, František Kupka, Francis Picabia, and Stanton Macdonald-Wright. The exhibition is on view through March 9. The Guggenheim published an excellent catalogue for the exhibition. It's available from Amazon and Bookshop for about $60. Hartman is the curator of "Beyond the Bouquet: Arranging Flowers in American Art" at the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. The exhibition looks at how North American artists have made use of floral beauty. Instagram: Michael Hartman, Tyler Green.

Founded in Chicago in 1914, the avant-garde journal the Little Review became a giant in the cause of modernism, publishing literature and art by luminaries such as T.S. Eliot, Djuna Barnes, William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Gertrude Stein, Jean Toomer, William Carlos Williams, H.D., Amy Lowell, Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Stella, Hans Arp, Mina Loy, Emma Goldman, Wyndham Lewis, Hart Crane, Sherwood Anderson, and more. Perhaps most famously, the magazine published Joyce's Ulysses in serial form, causing a scandal and leading to a censorship trial that changed the course of literature. In this episode, Jacke talks to scholar Holly A. Baggett about her book Making No Compromise: Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, and the Little Review, which tells the story of the two Midwestern women behind the Little Review, who were themselves iconoclastic rebels, living openly as lesbians and advocating for causes like anarchy, feminism, free love, and of course, groundbreaking literature and art.

In 1915, Marcel Duchamp bought a snow shovel at a hardware store in New York City. He inscribed his signature and the date on its wooden handle. On the evening this episode is released, the fourth version of this classic “ready-made,” which he titled “In Advance of the Broken Arm,” will be auctioned off at Christie's during their 20th Century Evening Sale. It's estimated to sell for $2 million to $3 million.How could a simple snow shovel be valued at such a steep price? Was  Duchamp an unmatched genius, or a product of some of the biggest museums' dirtiest little secrets: the results of pure, unadulterated capitalism?Northeastern University professor, essayist, poet, and editor Eunsong Kim has illuminated the underlying influences of industrial capitalism and racism behind some of the most prized museum collections in her new book, The Politics of Collecting: Race and the Aestheticization of Property. She traces how Duchamp was brought to prominence through the patronage of collectors Louise and Walter Arensberg, heirs of a fortune wrought by the steel industry. Their family operated steel mills in the same setting as titans such as Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick, whose wealth also underlies their own valuable art collections.And as it turns out, the “death of the author,” celebrated in conceptual art like that of Duchamp, is a convenient idea for the ultrawealthy. Devaluing labor pairs well with violent crackdowns on striking workers to deny them adequate pay. Or even Frederick Winslow Taylor's development of “scientific management,” a system that is still cited today but is based on the idealization of the slave plantation.How much of the Modernist archive was canonized by union-busting bosses? How much of conceptual art in the 20th and 21st centuries has been buoyed by the reverence of scientific management? In this episode, Editor-in-chief Hrag Vartanian sits down to talk with Kim about her new volume, which challenges generations of unquestioned received knowledge and advocates for a new vision of art beyond cultural institutions. In the process, they discuss the craft of writing, how a White artist was counted as a Black artist at the 2014 Whitney Biennial, and how Marcel Duchamp got away with selling bags of air.Subscribe to Hyperallergic on Apple Podcasts, and anywhere else you listen to podcasts.—Subscribe to Hyperallergic NewslettersBecome a member

How does art influence our perception of the world? Can fostering creativity in education lead to overall personal happiness and growth? What lessons can be drawn from historical and modern art practices?Will Gompertz is the director of Sir John Soane's Museum in London, and the author of several books, including What Are You Looking At?: The Surprising, Shocking, and Sometimes Strange Story of 150 Years of Modern Art, Think Like an Artist: How to Live a Happier, Smarter, More Creative Life, and most recently See What You're Missing.Greg and Will discuss the transformative power of art as a tool for self-help and critical engagement. Will analyzes the impact of creativity in education, emphasizing the need for a balanced curriculum that fosters both artistic and analytical thinking. Greg and Will talk about some key figures in the modern art world such as Pierre Mondrian and Marcel Duchamp, who serve as examples of revolutionary artists that challenged the status quo. Will and Greg also explore new ways to look at the importance of teaching art in schools, and how supportive environments in schools and workplaces, like those fostered under leaders like Satya Nadella, can enhance curiosity and innovation. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Show Links:Recommended Resources:Leonardo da VinciPiero della FrancescaMarcel DuchampFountain (Duchamp)The Death of SocratesSteve JobsLouise BourgeoisPiet MondrianRiccardo MutiSir John Soane's MuseumRoyal Academy of ArtsSatya NadellaDavid Foster WallacePaul CézanneAlbert RothenbergMaurizio CattelanSol LeWittDavid HockneyAlan AyckbournGuest Profile:Profile at the Sir John Soane's Museum of LondonWikipedia ProfileSocial Profile on InstagramSocial Profile on XHis Work:Amazon Author PageSee What You're MissingThink Like an Artist: How to Live a Happier, Smarter, More Creative LifeWhat Are You Looking At?: The Surprising, Shocking, and Sometimes Strange Story of 150 Years of Modern ArtArticles in The GuardianEpisode Quotes:Why is art considered self-help?01:18: I think art is self-help. I think art is self-help by the artist when he or she is trying to express themselves. It's self-help for us as viewers when we're trying to commune with this idea, this thing which has been put before us and asked us to consider it. And so, I think actually for this sort of the crazy world we live in now, museums, galleries, art, the arts more broadly, are the sanest things that are available to us, where humans are thinking and sharing and considering and challenging and sharing their feelings in a way that seems to be completely disappearing from everyday life, which seems to be getting more hectic, more insular, more anxiety-ridden. So actually, I think the arts are an entity, a form of self-help for all involved.Creativity and asking questions make us human07:05: Creativity and asking questions are what make us human. Therefore, when we're doing that, we're at our most human; we're feeling the life force at its most powerful. On creating safe spaces for self-discovery in schools17:56: School should be a place of self-discovery, friendship, community, and expression, not somewhere which feels like an army drill camp; where you get shouted at and told to sit still, sit still, then sit still. But why don't you want to sit still? So we start asking questions and start creating environments where young people feel respected and safe.Do people need to set aside some time for the consumption of art?53:45: Human beings have created art in one way, shape, or form since the very first person walked on this earth. And we will continue to create art until the very last person walks on this earth. It (art) is an essential part of the human experience. Therefore, we should all be given the time and space to enjoy.

In The Politics of Collecting: Race and the Aestheticization of Property (Duke University Press, 2024), Eunsong Kim traces how racial capitalism and colonialism situated the rise of US museum collections and conceptual art forms. Investigating historical legal and property claims, she argues that regimes of expropriation—rather than merit or good taste—are responsible for popular ideas of formal innovation and artistic genius. In doing so, she details how Marcel Duchamp's canonization has more to do with his patron's donations to museums than it does the quality of Duchamp's work, and she uncovers the racialized and financialized logic behind the Archive of New Poetry's collecting practices. Ranging from the conception of philanthropy devised by the robber barons of the late nineteenth century to ongoing digitization projects, Kim provides a new history of contemporary art that accounts for the complicated entanglement of race, capital, and labor behind storied art institutions and artists. Drawing on history, theory, and economics, Kim challenges received notions of artistic success and talent and calls for a new vision of art beyond the cultural institution.
