Beth Lipman: Tracking Deep Time and the Anthropocene through Still Life Assemblage

Beth Lipman is an American artist whose sculptural practice generates from the Still Life genre, symbolically representing the splendor and excess of the Anthropocene and the stratigraphic layer humanity will leave on earth. Assemblages of inanimate objects and domestic interiors, inspired by private spaces and public collections, propose portraits of individuals, institutions, and societies.  Through works in glass, wood, metal, photography, and video, Lipman presents a meditation on our relationship to Deep Time, a monumental time scale based on geologic events that minimizes human lives. Each installation is a reimagining of history, created by placing cycles often separated by millenia in proximity, from the ancient botanical to the cultural. The incorporation of prehistoric flora alludes to the impermanence of the present and the persistence of life. The ephemera of the Anthropocene becomes a symbol of fragility as the human species is placed on a continuum where time eradicates hierarchy. Lipman has exhibited her work internationally at such institutions as the Ringling Museum of Art (FL), ICA/MECA (ME), RISD Museum (RI), Milwaukee Art Museum (WI), Gustavsbergs Konsthall(Sweden) and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum (DC). Her work has been acquired by numerous museums including the North Carolina Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art (NY), Kemper Museum for Contemporary Art (MO), Smithsonian American Art Museum (DC), Jewish Museum (NY), Norton Museum of Art, (FL), and the Corning Museum of Glass (NY).  Lipman has received numerous awards including a USA Berman Bloch Fellowship, Pollock Krasner Grant, Virginia Groot Foundation Grant, and a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant. She has been an Artist in Residence at the Alturas Foundation, the John Michael Kohler Arts Center's Arts/Industry Program, and the Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship. Recent works include Living History, a large-scale site-specific commission for the Wichita Art Museum (KS) that investigates the nature of time and place and Belonging(s), a sculptural response to the life of Abigail Levy Franks for the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (AR). Lipman's work is on view now in three independent installations including: Hive Mind at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa; ReGift at the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA), Toledo, Ohio; and the permanent installation One's-Self I Sing at theMuskegon Museum of Art (MMA), Muskegon, Michigan. To celebrate the official unveiling of One's-Self I Sing, the MMA is hosting an Artist Talk and Unveiling Reception this Thursday, July 17 at 7 p.m. The event is open to the public and free to attend. Find out more at www.muskegonartmuseum.org Suspended in the museum's central atrium, the sculpture explores the interconnectedness of time, culture, and nature through materials such as glass, wood, metal and gypsum. Measuring approximately 240 x 120 x 60 inches, One's-Self I Sing functions as an “exploded” still life – an expansive, suspended constellation of objects that invites viewers to reflect on humanity's place within Deep Time and the Anthropocene. Says Lipman: “The marriage of transparent and opaque forms alludes to what is seen and known juxtaposed with what is concealed and lost over time.” The sculpture spans both floors of the museum, encouraging viewers to encounter it from multiple vantage points. Braided suspension cables carry the piece vertically through space, suggesting both ascent and descent, growth and entropy. Lipman incorporates subtle visual references to the Muskegon Museum of Art's permanent collection, binding the sculpture to the museum's history while extending its meaning outward across time. “One's Self I Sing is a showstopping first impression when visitors walk into the museum,” says Kirk Hallman, Executive Director of the Muskegon Museum of Art. “It's a powerful and visually stunning complement to the museum's new Bennett Schmidt Pavilion and a bold reflection of the MMA's ongoing commitment to celebrating women artists.” Enjoy this conversation with Lipman about current installations, artistic motivations and the behind the scenes challenges of creating site-specific work that communicates to viewers.

US household income has grown significantly, but much of that growth seems to be at the very top of the distribution. Just how much inequality has increased and why it is growing is a topic of debate among economists. Part of the challenge lies in a seemingly basic question: what exactly counts as income? In a paper in the Journal of Economic Perspectives, author Matthieu Gomez disentangles the notions of income that economists frequently use and helps pinpoint what's really behind the rise in inequality.  Gomez recently spoke with Tyler Smith about defining income, recent patterns in income inequality, and the best tools for reducing inequality.

Workplace performance isn't just L&D's responsibility; it belongs to the whole company.  And yet, many HR and learning teams still treat training as a standalone solution.  In this episode, Kevin Yates joins Karina Young to reframe how we think about impact, and why the question isn't just “Did people complete the program?” but “Did anything change as a result?” Kevin, known across the industry as the “L&D Detective,” shares what he's learned from nearly 30 years in the field and why measuring outcomes requires more than a survey or LMS report. He explains how to shift from reporting activity to proving contribution, and why L&D must be embedded in a broader performance ecosystem to make a meaningful difference. Together, they explore what most organizations overlook: how business goals get lost in translation, how legacy habits still shape how programs are designed, and how measurement can become a strategic advantage, not just a reporting requirement. Kevin also offers a practical lens for partnering across functions and building internal alignment around shared outcomes. For HR and L&D leaders navigating increasing pressure to deliver results, it's a timely reminder: meaningful change doesn't happen in a vacuum. It takes a village.

In this conversation, George Weiner speaks with Ken Berger, the former CEO of Charity Navigator, about the evolution of nonprofit evaluation, the challenges of measuring overhead, and the importance of adapting to changing funding landscapes. They discuss the impact of effective altruism, the necessity of mergers in the nonprofit sector, and the role of storytelling and data in demonstrating outcomes. Ken shares valuable insights and advice for current and future nonprofit leaders, emphasizing the need for humility, collaboration, and strategic planning in navigating the complexities of the nonprofit world. takeaways The overhead debate has historically hurt nonprofits. Metrics for evaluating nonprofits are evolving beyond just overhead. Nonprofits must strategically manage their overhead to thrive. Advocacy and strategic planning are crucial in times of funding cuts. Mergers can be a viable solution for struggling nonprofits. Effective altruism has its limitations and assumptions. Measuring outcomes is a significant challenge for many nonprofits. Data can help bridge the gap between outputs and meaningful outcomes. Storytelling remains a powerful tool for nonprofits. Future nonprofit leaders must be humble and open to learning.

“Let's stop ‘aging gracefully' and start aging strong”                                        -Dr. Alan Rozanski   In this powerful and practical conversation, Barbara is joined by Dr. Alan Rozanski, a nationally recognized expert in preventive cardiology, Professor of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and founder of one of the country's top cardiac rehabilitation programs. Together, they dive deep into what it really means to age better—and why strength may be the most overlooked key to thriving after 60.  Dr. Rozanski explains that aging doesn't happen in a straight line—it jumps, especially around age 60. That's when declines in muscle mass, mental sharpness, and energy can take a sharp turn. But it doesn't have to be that way.  Using his groundbreaking Six Domains of Optimal Health and Vitality framework, Dr. Rozanski shares science-backed, actionable strategies for building physical strength, cultivating mental vitality, managing stress, deepening purpose, and fostering emotional resilience and social connection.  Whether you're in midlife or well beyond, this episode offers a roadmap for becoming not just older—but stronger, sharper, and more alive. It is a true masterclass in aging better.   Key Takeaways:  Aging isn't linear—it accelerates at key moments, including around age 60.  Strength training is essential for preventing falls, frailty, and decline.  Resistance training should be included in standard medical guidelines.  Measuring muscle strength can be as important as tracking blood pressure.  Daily physical activity can dramatically lower your risk of early death.  Living with purpose fuels vitality, energy, and emotional wellbeing.  Loneliness is a serious public health threat—but it can be reversed.  Emotional mastery helps you navigate challenges with resilience.  Stress, when managed well, can become a force for growth.  Small steps—like a few bodyweight squats a day—can change your trajectory.  Learn more about Dr. Alan Rozanski HERE  Learn more about Barbara Hannah Grufferman HERE  FOLLOW ‘AGE BETTER':   To join this adventure, remember to subscribe or follow the "Age Better with Barbara Hannah Grufferman" podcast on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

In this episode of the Crisis Lab Podcast, Kyle King challenges the core assumptions of American emergency management. He contrasts FEMA's focus on efficiency with Europe's emphasis on survival, revealing why traditional measures like response time and coordination no longer reflect the realities of modern disasters. Drawing on examples such as the Texas floods, Hurricane Maria, and the Texas winter storm, Kyle explains why it's time to measure how long communities can function without help, not how fast help can arrive. Tune in for a critical look at outdated preparedness models, a fresh perspective from European strategies, and a path forward that prioritizes resilience over speed.

In this installment of the Vos Group, Camden Bucey and Lane Tipton turn to pages 378–381 of Geerhardus Vos's Biblical Theology: Old and New Testaments, focusing on Jesus' teaching and the eschatology of the kingdom. They explore the vital biblical distinction between the “already” and “not yet” aspects of the kingdom of God, examining how this two-age structure stands in contrast to various eschatological systems, including premillennialism, postmillennialism, and what Vos labels “ultra-eschatology.” Tipton and Bucey analyze Vos's critique of these systems, highlighting the theological implications of denying either the inaugurated or consummated dimensions of the kingdom. They also discuss the resurrection, the second coming of Christ, and the theological coherence of amillennialism within the Reformed tradition. In the course of the discussion, they reflect on the life and teaching of Dr. Robert B. Strimple, affirming his Christ-centered theological pedagogy and lasting influence. Listeners will find this episode a robust and thought-provoking engagement with biblical theology, eschatology, and Reformed orthodoxy.

If you've ever left a conference wondering whether it was worth the time, money, and disruption to your client work, this episode is for you. I break down how Big Law attorneys can approach conferences more strategically—before, during, and after—so they actually generate business, deepen client relationships, and build visibility with the right people.  Too often, conferences are treated as obligatory or status-based, without a clear plan for return on investment. But with tight schedules and high expectations, you can't afford to attend just to check a box. I share the steps I walk through my coaching clients to evaluate which events are worth attending, prepare for targeted interactions, and follow through to maximize long-term value. This isn't about collecting badges or LinkedIn selfies—it's about making sure the time you spend translates into opportunities that move your practice forward.
