I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA podcast is the renowned psychologist Lisa Wenger, who is also – very excitingly – the niece of the artist we are going to be discussing today: Meret Oppeheim! Having collected and copied thousands of letters, notes, and documents from acquaintances of the German-Swiss artist – famed for her paintings, sculptures, collages, and more, who was commonly associated with the Surrealists – Wenger is something of a world expert on her aunt. The author and co-author of numerous books, including the award-winning “do not wrap words in poisonous letters” as well as “Meret Oppenheim - My Album” - Wenger is also responsible for updating the catalogue raisonne of her aunt, and co-running the estate, which has of late seen Oppenheim have major retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art, Kunstmuseum Bern, and others that has put the trailblazing artist firmly in the spotlight. Born in 1913 in Berlin, at the inception of the first world war, Oppenheim was raised with her maternal grandmother in Switzerland. An interest in Jung as a teenager led to her life-long fascination with dreams, informing her art practice and involvement with the surrealists, who she met in Paris after venturing there aged 18 in the 1930s. Here, she created some of her most iconic artworks, such as the fur-lined teacup and saucer which she called Object (1936), that attracts as it does repulses and still divides opinion today, and ‘my nurse', a pair of white high-heeled shoes turned upside-down to evoke a chicken on a tray, which plays with gender stereotypes, femininity and the domestic sphere. But, with the outbreak of the second world war, it was back to Switzerland, which proved to be a very different environment to Paris… But, never not creating, Oppenheim made dream-like paintings, sculptures, and collages that reflected her dreams, as well as a woman stifled by her lack of freedom. Over the decades, Oppenheim built up a output that would become some of the most pioneering in Europe, after all, she said: “nobody will give you freedom, you have to take it” Today, I meet Lisa in Casa Constanza, in Carona, surrounded by Meret's possessions and spirit - and ahead of the new exhibition at Hauser & Wirth (4 June – 19 July 2025).

Glenn Lowry became the sixth director of The Museum of Modern Art, New York (MoMA) in 1995. He has overseen the physical transformation of the Museum's campus through two building campaigns that have more than doubled the size of MoMA's galleries, quintupled its endowment, created an education and research center, and inspired a new model for the presentation of modern and contemporary art. Lowry has championed innovation, both onsite and online, to grow MoMA's annual visitation to nearly 3 million in the galleries and 35 million across moma.org. He expanded the Museum's curatorial departments, with the addition of Media and Performance, and supported MoMA's intellectual growth by creating new research programs like Contemporary and Modern Art Perspectives (CMAP).In 2000, he led the merger of MoMA with the contemporary art center PS1, and in 2015, he worked with Thelma Golden to introduce a joint fellowship program with the Studio Museum in Harlem for rising professionals in the arts. Lowry is a strong advocate of contemporary artists and their work and he has lectured and written extensively in the support of contemporary art, on the role of museums in society, and on other topics related to his research interests. He currently serves on the boards of The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, the Clark Art Institute, the Art Bridges Foundation and The Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, as well as on the advisory boards of the Istanbul Modern and the Mori Art Museum. Lowry is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a resident member of the American Philosophical Society.He and Zuckerman discuss courting risk, creating the time to think, controlling the process, professional guidelines, the goal for museums to be independent and private enterprises, thinking that opens possibilities, being fearless, passion, and why art matters!

Lots of good stuff happening in Florida. Too bad we're full. Introduction (00:00:00 - 00:02:20)* Opening Banter: The hosts introduce themselves as the "two kings of the Rube Empire," self-described right-wing extremists, supernaturalists, and Christian bigots. They emphasize their unique perspective and humor.* Podcast Branding: Welcome to the Kingsplaining Podcast, described as the "greatest hour of your life."* Dusty's Return: The hosts acknowledge Dusty's absence and his role in keeping them "tethered to reality." A listener feedback highlights Dusty's grounding influence.Main Topics Discussed1. The New American Pope: Pope Leo (00:02:20 - 00:11:01)* Historic Appointment: The hosts discuss the appointment of Pope Leo, the first American Pope, hailing from Chicago. They note the historical avoidance of American popes to prevent perceived U.S. supremacy in the Catholic Church.* Skepticism and Critique: They express skepticism about the new Pope's Republican registration (2023), calling him a “Democrat light” due to Chicago's political reputation.* Catholic Practices Critiqued: The hosts critique Catholic veneration of Mary, saints, and the Pope, equating it to idolatry. They reference the Orlando shrine “Mary, Queen of the Universe” and compare it to pagan worship of figures like Ashtaroth.* Crowd Reaction: They mock the emotional response of Catholics weeping for joy at the Pope's announcement, contrasting it with Protestant reactions to new pastors.* Theological Debate: The hosts argue that Catholic practices deviate from biblical teachings, citing 1 Timothy 2:5 to challenge the necessity of intermediaries like Mary.2. Florida's Dominance (00:11:01 - 00:25:20)* Economic Success: Florida boasts the number one economy in the U.S. for the second consecutive year, with a $25 billion rainy day fund (up from $2 billion under Governor DeSantis).* Education Achievements: Florida has the best postgraduate education system, the cheapest tuition (unchanged for five years), and strong elementary school test scores, surpassing states like California and New York.* Policy Wins:* Fluoride Removal: Florida removed fluoride from its water supply, citing potential negative effects on children's mental development.* Chemtrail Ban: The state outlawed chemtrails, though federal control over airspace above 10,000 feet limits enforcement.* Vaccine Study: A Florida study, released on May 5, 2025, claims COVID-19 vaccines definitively killed 475,000 Americans, a topic the hosts note is suppressed by mainstream media.* Deportation Stance: Florida's Attorney General defied a Supreme Court ruling against ICE deportations, continuing state-level deportations.* Infrastructure: The I-4 Express lanes generate profit through optional tolls, funded without new taxes or debt. The hosts praise the efficiency and affordability of this project.* Cultural Move: Florida paved over a Black Lives Matter street mural, which the hosts celebrate as a rejection of “woke” symbolism.3. Daily Wire Rift and Cancel Culture (00:25:20 - 00:28:59)* Internal Conflict: The hosts discuss a rift at The Daily Wire, noting declining viewership after the departures of Candace Owens and Brett Cooper, who are now thriving independently (Owens with 5 million views per episode, Cooper with 1.5 million).* Minnesota Incident: A Minnesota mom, Shiloh Hendricks, faced cancel culture after using the N-word toward a child at a playground. A Somali bystander recorded the incident, sparking online backlash. A GoFundMe was started to support Hendricks.* Matt Walsh's Stance: Matt Walsh publicly disagreed with Ben Shapiro on this issue, appearing on Tucker Carlson's show to defend free speech, highlighting tensions within The Daily Wire.* Hosts' Perspective: They condemn the use of the N-word but argue that cancel culture disproportionately targets white individuals and that free speech must be upheld.4. Nielsen Rating System Update (01:23:53 - 01:28:54)* Revamped System: Nielsen updated its rating system to include digital streaming (cell phones, tablets, Netflix, Amazon, Apple), aiming for more accurate viewership numbers.* Sports Dominance: The new data confirms sports as the most-watched content, with Netflix pursuing NFL broadcasting rights after securing WWE's Raw.* Cultural Insight: The hosts note the popularity of live events like the Super Bowl (168 million viewers) and the rise of niche sports like the Savannah Bananas baseball league, which prioritizes affordability and fun.5. The Woke Right and Secular Liberalism (01:29:01 - 01:40:56)* Critique of Centrism: The hosts argue there is no “center” in morality—only holiness or its absence. They reject secular liberalism, which they see as leading to “woke” ideologies.* Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro: They criticize figures like Peterson and Shapiro for adopting a woke stance, particularly in defending Israel uncritically, which they compare to the left's identity politics.* Christian Nationalism Defined: The hosts define Christian nationalism as a desire to avoid “pissing off God” by upholding biblical principles, not racial or ethnic divisions. They advocate for laws rooted in justice and morality, not secular compromise.* Nick Fuentes Critique: They distance themselves from figures like Nick Fuentes, whose ethnostate advocacy they label as fascist and unaligned with American conservatism.* Cultural Shift: The hosts celebrate a societal shift toward conservatism and Christianity, noting increased church attendance among young men and growing anti-abortion sentiment (e.g., Oklahoma's abortion ban).6. Modern Art and Cultural Decline (01:41:17 - 01:47:55)* Modern Art Critique: The hosts mock modern art, citing examples like white-painted canvases and a banana taped to a wall as lacking creativity or meaning. They argue true art requires talent and expression.* CIA Psyop Theory: They claim modern art began as a CIA operation to confuse Soviet perceptions of Western culture, later becoming a vehicle for money laundering and cultural destruction.* Met Gala and Celebrity Culture: The hosts dismiss events like the Met Gala as irrelevant, noting the decline of traditional celebrity influence and the rise of comedians like Shane Gillis, who reflect societal truths.7. Maintaining Joy Amid Chaos (01:47:55 - 01:52:28)* Catherine Fitz's Insight: Referencing a Tucker Carlson interview, the hosts highlight Fitz's view that “hopelessness is a psyop” designed to steal joy and strength.* Biblical Foundation: They cite Nehemiah 8:10 (“The joy of the Lord is our strength”) to argue that joy resists the devil's attempts to control through despair.* Community Support: The hosts emphasize the importance of a faith community to rebuild one's “state of amusement” during challenging times.* Encouragement: They remind listeners that Christ remains sovereign, ensuring ultimate victory despite worldly struggles.Merch Plug (00:03:42 - 00:06:00)* New T-Shirts: The hosts promote new merchandise available at kingsplaining.com and their TikTok shop:* Rebellion Shirt: Features a blood-drenched skull with a crown and the phrase “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”* Christus Rex Shirt: Depicts a crowned lamb with a bloody side, bearing the phrases “Christus Rex” and “Yesu Dominus.”* Availability: Shirts are available in most sizes, though 5XL is exclusive to the Etsy shop due to TikTok's delivery constraints.* Personal Endorsement: The hosts express enthusiasm for the designs, noting their empowering and bold aesthetic.Verse of the Day (01:52:43)* Ecclesiastes 12:11: “The sayings of the wise are like cattle prods, and those from masters of collections are like firmly embedded nails. The sayings are given by one Shepherd.”* Interpretation: Wisdom and truth from Christ, the Shepherd, guide and stabilize believers, keeping them on the right path.Closing Prayer (01:53:19)* Led by The Iron King: A prayer thanking God for the opportunity to discuss current events, affirming His sovereignty, and expressing hope in eternal victory through Christ.Outro (01:53:57 - 01:54:22)* Podcast Identity: The hosts reiterate their commitment to serving Christ Jesus as the “two kings of the Rube Empire,” where “the people are free, and taxes are voluntary.”* Call to Action: Encourage listeners to like, share, subscribe, and support the podcast by purchasing merch.* Sign-Off: “Peace out.

There's holiness or not.” (01:32:42)* “Christian nationalism to me is this: I don't want my country to piss off God.” (01:38:58)* “The joy of the Lord is our strength.” (01:49:47)Additional Notes* Tone and Style: The episode blends humor, satire, and serious commentary, reflecting the hosts' self-described “right-wing extremist” persona. They use provocative language (e.g., “fake and gay”) to critique secular culture and political correctness.* Controversial Topics: The hosts tackle sensitive issues like race, religion, and free speech, often taking polarizing stances. Their views are rooted in a conservative Christian worldview, which shapes their critiques of Catholicism, secular liberalism, and modern cultural trends.* Audience Engagement: The hosts frequently address their listeners directly, fostering a sense of community among their “Rube Empire” audience. They encourage interaction through merch purchases and social media engagement.Where to Listen and Support:* Website: kingsplaining.com* TikTok and Etsy Shops: For merchandise purchases.* Social Media: Follow for updates and additional content.Next Episode: Tune in next week for more unfiltered commentary from the Kingsplaining Podcast!historical American popesVatican political influence This is a public episode.

Claudy Jongstra is a Dutch artist and designer who has become globally renowned for her, often monumental, textile installations and tapestries made from wool. After establishing her studio in Friesland in the Dutch countryside during 2001, she started an ecological venture, which involved maintaining a herd of indigenous sheep and creating a biodynamic farm near her studio to grow plants used for natural dyes – effectively combining her art with ecological stewardship. Her work is in the permanent collections of a number of museums such the Museum of Modern Art and the Cooper-Hewitt in New York and the V&A in London. And she has won a slew of awards, including the 2022 Interior Design Hall of Fame Award. Not only that, she designed costumes for the Star Wars movies.In this episode she discusses: the ‘intelligence' of wool; leaving her job and taking two years to understand the material; setting up her own farm; the organic nature of her career path; being an activist; the process behind her extraordinary pieces; the special qualities of the Drenthe Heath sheep; why we burn so much wool; the secrets of Burgundian Black; making really big pieces; her love of cooking; issues with the vintage clothing industry; working with her son; oh and creating costumes for the Jedi…Support the show

Join us in conversation with renowned songstress and author, Adele Bertei, as we weave our way through the life and times of Sinead O'Connor, courage in the name of justice, and the healing power of song. Adele is an anti-disciplinary author, director, performer, and composer currently residing in Los Angeles, CA. She is the author of Peter and the Wolves (Smog Veil, 2020), Why Labelle Matters (University of Texas Press, 2021), Twist: Tales of a Queer Girlhood (ZE Books, 2023), and Universal Mother (Bloomsbury 33 1/3, 2025).   Bertei was an original member of the critically lauded Contortions, produced by Brian Eno on the seminal No New York LP. Reading prose and poetry, she opened for writers such as William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Kathy Acker among many others. Bertei acted in several underground films, including a lead role in Born In Flames by Lizzie Borden.   Bertei was lead singer in the Bloods –America's first openly queer band of women, and has performed and recorded as a backing vocalist and touring vocalist for artists such as Tears for Fears, Thomas Dolby, Culture Club, Whitney Houston, Sandra Bernhard and Sophie B. Hawkins among many others.   New York City's Museum of Modern Art recently acquired films of Bertei reading her poem The Ragazzi Manifesto in 1978, and The Offenders by Scott and Beth B., where Bertei plays the lead.   She has created and facilitated songwriting workshops for homeless youth at My Friend's Place in Hollywood, and as a member of Wayne Kramer's Jail Guitar Doors, teaching songwriting to the incarcerated at the Twin Towers facility in downtown LA, and at Century Women's Regional Center at Lynwood, the largest women's jail in the nation.   Her next book, No New York: A Memoir of No Wave and the Women Who Shaped the Scene, will be released in early 2026 by Faber & Faber UK.   Thanks to my producer and editor, Lucas Bakker @Iamlucasbakker- whose original music and soundtrack weave the Blue Medicine Journal podcast all together!

He accuses them of Marxist influences (e.g., Saul Alinsky) and spinelessness, failing to engage reality with depth or sincerity.Encouraging Christian Art (00:30:34 - 00:33:55)Travis calls for Christians to create art to counter demonic cultural influences, praising Doctor Universalis for its depiction of communion and emphasizing self-publishing's accessibility as a tool for cultural resistance.Hollywood's Decline and AI Art (00:36:29 - 00:39:07)Travis attributes Hollywood's decline to satanic influences and corporate control (e.g., BlackRock). He notes AI-generated art replicates vapid content, lacking depth and serving corporate quotas, reflecting a broader cultural decay.Political and Bureaucratic IssuesNew Pope's Background (01:03:09 - 01:06:25)Travis discusses the new American pope, Robert Prevost (Pope Leon XIV), highlighting his opposition to same-sex marriage and gender studies. He criticizes the media's focus on political metrics (e.g., Trump support) over theological substance.China-Russia Alliance (01:39:39 - 01:44:46)Travis warns of Xi Jinping and Putin's alliance to counter Western hegemony, noting their pursuit of power rather than anti-globalism. He predicts escalating U.S. conflict as a result of this geopolitical shift.Bureaucracy's Treason (01:50:50 - 01:54:22)Travis invokes Julien Benda's The Treason of the Clerics to critique intellectuals' political passions, calling Trump weak for failing to confront bureaucratic resistance and questioning his commitment to reform.War and Its ImpactsWar's Brutality in Storm of Steel (01:19:47 - 01:26:39)Travis reflects on Ernst Jünger's Storm of Steel, reading passages about World War I's romanticized yet brutal reality. He rejects notions of “safe” war, emphasizing its unchanging horror through vivid soldier experiences.Technology and SocietyAI in Courtroom (00:41:25 - 00:43:50)Travis finds an AI-generated victim impact statement in an Arizona courtroom alarming, warning of future psychological programming abuses and comparing it to dystopian scenarios.Automotive Industry (Eric Peters Interview)Loss of Driving Freedom (02:06:05 - 02:09:27)Travis and Eric lament the erosion of driving freedom due to regulations, high costs, and police presence. Eric sees an agenda to discourage car ownership, contrasting past affordability with modern constraints.Car Complexity and Debt Cycles (02:12:36 - 02:15:27)Eric and Travis critique modern cars' complexity and planned obsolescence, which trap consumers in debt. They view cars as shackles rather than symbols of freedom, reflecting broader societal control.Authoritarian Aesthetics (02:21:46 - 02:24:48)Eric links bland, uniform car designs to authoritarian ugliness (e.g., East Germany), while Travis mourns homogenized city skylines, both seeing a loss of beauty driven by regulatory and corporate forces.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

For the 36th episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Sarah Roberts, curator of the landmark exhibition "Amy Sherald: American Sublime," and editor of the accompanying catalog published by Yale University Press in association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.Roberts discusses Sherald's revolutionary portraiture approach — from her distinctive gray-scale skin tones that shift focus to her subjects' interior lives, to her deliberate use of clothing and settings as narrative devices. She shares insights on the "American sublime" concept in Sherald's work and her curatorial decisions integrating the iconic Michelle Obama and Breonna Taylor portraits within the larger context of the artist's practice.This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in contemporary portraiture, the evolution of American figurative painting, and how art can challenge conventional narratives about representation and identity. Roberts' insights reveal why Sherald's quiet yet radical artistic vision offers a powerful reimagining of who deserves to be seen and celebrated in American art history.ABOUT THE AUTHOR Sarah Roberts is Senior Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Joan Mitchell Foundation where she oversees the Foundation's Artwork and Archival Collections and the Joan Mitchell Catalogue Raisonné project. Since 2004, she has served in progressive leadership roles in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the SFMOMA, and since 2020 as Andrew W. Mellon Curator and Head of Painting and Sculpture. A specialist in post-war American art, Roberts has organized significant exhibitions including major presentations of Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Bourgeois, Frank Bowling, and co-curated the Joan Mitchell retrospective that traveled internationally. Roberts holds degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and Brown University, and has contributed to numerous publications on contemporary art.ABOUT THE EXHIBITION"Amy Sherald: American Sublime" is now on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York through August 3, 2025, following its run at SFMOMA.

Welcome to Rendering Unconscious – the Gradiva award-winning podcast about psychoanalysis & culture, with me, Dr Vanessa Sinclair. https://renderingunconscious.substack.com Rendering Unconscious episode 345. RU345: DR VANESSA SINCLAIR ON SCANSION IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND ART IN THEORY AND PRAXIS https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru345-dr-vanessa-sinclair-on-scansion For the latest episode of Rendering Unconscious Podcast, I was interviewed about my book Scansion In Psychoanalysis & Art: The Cut In Creation (Routledge), and my ideas behind the project. You can order your own copy of the book Scansion In Psychoanalysis & Art: The Cut In Creation (Routledge) HERE: https://amzn.to/4jMubrj The book explores the intricate relationships between psychoanalysis and various art movements, particularly focusing on the avant-garde. The text is structured into several parts, each addressing significant themes and historical contexts that shaped both psychoanalysis and modern artistic expressions. Throughout the book, Sinclair employs the concept of scansion—a method of analyzing rhythm and structure—to draw parallels between artistic creation and psychoanalytic processes. She argues that both realms engage in a form of cutting or disruption that reveals underlying truths about human subjectivity. By focusing on fragmentation, the manuscript illustrates how both art and psychoanalysis seek to reconstitute identity and meaning in a world marked by chaos and change. In conclusion, Scansion in Psychoanalysis and Art: the Cut in Creationpresents a comprehensive examination of the dynamic interplay between psychoanalysis and art movements, emphasizing the transformative power of disruption and the continuous quest for understanding the self in relation to the world. Sinclair's work invites readers to reconsider the significance of art as a vehicle for exploring the unconscious and the complexities of human experience.

Episode 1484: Modern Art

Murder and The Police Investigation that led to an unexpected criminal. In a gripping true crime story that stunned the community of Novato, California, retired Police Chief Brian Brady recalls the murder investigation that revealed an unexpected criminal hiding in plain sight. The 13-year-old victim, Jennifer Moore, was kidnapped, raped and murdered in a case that would ultimately lead to one of the most shocking confessions in the San Francisco California Bay Area history. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Brady, a retired police officer with 35 years of service across four departments in two states, including the Berkeley Police Department and the Novato Police Department, led the investigation during his tenure as Police Chief in Novato. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. “It started with a missing persons call,” Brady explained. “A 13-year-old girl went missing after an argument with her mother. From the beginning, something about it didn't sit right.” The investigation quickly escalated when Jennifer's body was discovered four days later, nude and discarded in a grassy field just two miles from her home. The police were initially misled by eyewitness reports involving a city bus. But a key piece of evidence, a garbage bag filled with discarded religious booklets, led them back to a local Baptist church. Murder and The Police Investigation that led to an unexpected criminal. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Blogspot and Linkedin. That's where they discovered the truth: the murderer was not a stranger or a drifter. He was a trusted member of the community. Listen to the interview with him as a Free Podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The man behind the horrific crime was a 29-year-old Sunday school teacher, deacon, youth group worker, and volunteer groundskeeper at the church. He was also a manager at a local self-service gas station and minimart. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. “I murdered her. I strangled her. I bludgeoned her,” he told Novato detectives in a taped confession, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. The admission stunned even veteran officers. According to detectives, the suspect revealed disturbing details about the April 13 killing that had not been made public, proof that his confession was genuine. Evidence recovered at the church reading room included a bloodstain unsuccessfully concealed with coffee, and the girl's bomber jacket, discarded in a nearby trash bin. A police bloodhound had originally led officers to the church, but early focus on misleading witness descriptions delayed the discovery of the real killer. In the end, it was the murderer's leaving behind identifiable religious material in the garbage bag used to dispose of the body, that brought the case to light. Murder and The Police Investigation that led to an unexpected criminal. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. While more than 1,000 people gathered at a local park to mourn the young girl, police quietly searched the home the killer shared with his wife. “This was a murder that rocked the entire town to its core,” Brady said. “No one expected it to be someone they saw every Sunday, someone they trusted with their children.” The story of Jennifer Moore's murder and the painstaking investigation that brought her killer to justice is the basis for a book by Brian Brady. His real-life law enforcement experiences continue to inspire his fiction writing, including his most recent crime novel, Greed. Brady, born and raised in San Francisco, has built a post-retirement career as a crime novelist. His three novels "Oh, What a Tangled Web", "Hiding in Plain Sight", and "Greed", weave together the complexities of criminal behavior with the procedural knowledge gained from decades on the job. Murder and The Police Investigation that led to an unexpected criminal. “With this being my third book, I feel that I'm really hitting my stride as an author,” Brady said. “My newest story spans New York, Amsterdam, and Paris, but the Bay Area remains the heart of everything I write.” Brady's career path took him from Berkeley's diverse streets to Farmington, New Mexico, and back to the Bay Area, where he also served in executive roles with organizations like NBC Universal and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His wealth of experience, both on the streets and in the boardroom, gives him a unique voice in the world of crime fiction. Today, Brady shares his stories and behind-the-scenes insights through his official website, www.goldengatetales.com.

Murder and The Police Investigation that led to an unexpected criminal. The murder of Jennifer Moore remains one of the most haunting cases Brady encountered. “It's a reminder that evil can hide behind the most familiar faces,” he said. “But it's also proof that dedicated police work, and never giving up, can bring even the most unlikely killers to justice.” Time is running out to secure the Medicare coverage you deserve!

RU342: RON OKUAKI LIEBER ON THE LONG JOURNEY OUT, PSYCHOANALYSIS, PSYCHEDELICS & POETRY: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru342-ron-okuaki-lieber-on-the-long Rendering Unconscious episode 342. Rendering Unconscious welcomes Ron Okuaki Lieber to the podcast! He's here to discuss his book of poetry The Long Journey Out (2023). https://amzn.to/44Gsery Ron describes his journey from a restless youth to a career in psychoanalysis and poetry. He recounts a transformative psychedelic experience in his teens, which led him to explore literature and poetry. Lieber joined the Peace Corps in Costa Rica, where he deepened his interest in culture, language and the human condition. He later studied at Columbia University and then the Center for Modern Psychoanalysis. Lieber's poetry, influenced by formal training and personal experiences, is described as formal and crafted. He emphasizes the importance of the unconscious in both art and psychoanalysis, and his work reflects themes of longing and loss. Of Japanese and Jewish lineage, Ronald Okuaki Lieber was born in Tokyo. He grew up as an army brat, moving every year until the age of 14 when his parents settled in Petersburg, VA. He graduated from the College of William and Mary with a BS in Biology, then served two years as a Peace Corp volunteer on the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica. He returned to live in NYC and eventually graduated from the MFA Program at Columbia University. He later began psychoanalytic training at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies. After graduation, He became the Director of the institute and editor of its journal, Modern Psychoanalysis. He is currently in private practice and has completed training as a guide at the Center for Medicine Work in Philadelphia. https://www.ronaldokuakilieber.com He has a poetry reading May 8, 2025 at Unnameable Books, 615 Vanderbilt Avenue (located inProspect Heights, Brooklyn) at 7:00 with Todd Colby and Mitch Highfill, music by Flose & Aura. https://www.ronaldokuakilieber.com/events For those interested in entering into psychoanalysis with me, I provide remote psychoanalytic treatment online, as well as consultation services for those in psychoanalytic formation.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Reconnecting at the Museum: A Journey Through Art and Closure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-04-25-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Forårssolen skinnede blidt over Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.En: The spring sun shone gently over Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.Da: Fra museets store vinduer kunne man se ud over Øresund, hvor vandet glimtede i lyset.En: From the museum's large windows, one could look out over the Øresund, where the water sparkled in the light.Da: Kasper, en ung kunststuderende, gik langsomt gennem de lyse gallerier, opslugt af de moderne kunstværker omkring ham.En: Kasper, a young art student, walked slowly through the bright galleries, absorbed by the modern artworks around him.Da: Men hans tanker kredsede om noget andet.En: But his thoughts were circling around something else.Da: Eller rettere sagt, nogen.En: Or rather, someone.Da: Han havde ikke set Signe i flere år.En: He hadn't seen Signe in several years.Da: Hun var en vigtig del af hans liv dengang, men en dag forsvandt hun uden et ord.En: She was an important part of his life back then, but one day, she disappeared without a word.Da: Nu er hun her, i samme museum.En: Now she was here, in the same museum.Da: Hun arbejder som kurator, har han hørt.En: She works as a curator, he had heard.Da: Kasper havde ofte undret sig: Hvorfor gik hun sin vej?En: Kasper often wondered: Why did she leave?Da: Mens Kasper forsigtigt gik gennem det næste galleri, så han hende.En: As Kasper carefully walked through the next gallery, he saw her.Da: Signe stod ved en farverig installation, ivrigt talte hun med en gruppe besøgende.En: Signe stood by a colorful installation, eagerly talking with a group of visitors.Da: Han mærkede sit hjerte slå hurtigere.En: He felt his heart beat faster.Da: Det var nu eller aldrig.En: It was now or never.Da: Skulle han tale med hende?En: Should he talk to her?Da: Men før Kasper nåede at nærme sig, brød Freja pludselig ind.En: But before Kasper could approach, Freja suddenly interrupted.Da: Hun var en glad turist, ivrig efter at dele sin begejstring for kunst med alle omkring hende.En: She was a cheerful tourist, eager to share her enthusiasm for art with everyone around her.Da: Det forstyrrede Kasper, men også mindede ham om livets tilfældigheder.En: It disturbed Kasper, but also reminded him of life's coincidences.Da: Signe så op, og deres blikke mødtes kort.En: Signe looked up, and their eyes met briefly.Da: Deres fortid vævet ind i et tavst øjeblik.En: Their past woven into a silent moment.Da: Kasper trak vejret dybt ind og gik hen til hende, mens Freja belejligt blev optaget af en anden skulptur.En: Kasper took a deep breath and walked over to her, while Freja conveniently became engrossed in another sculpture.Da: "Hej Signe," sagde Kasper blidt.En: "Hi Signe," Kasper said softly.Da: "Det er længe siden."En: "It's been a long time."Da: Signe blev stille et øjeblik.En: Signe was quiet for a moment.Da: "Ja, det er det," svarede hun endelig, hendes stemme usikker.En: "Yes, it has," she finally replied, her voice uncertain.Da: "Skal vi tale udenfor?"En: "Shall we talk outside?"Da: De gik sammen ud i museets skulpturhave.En: They walked together into the museum's sculpture garden.Da: Træerne var fyldt med forårsknopper, og duften af nyudsprungne blomster hang i luften.En: The trees were filled with spring buds, and the scent of newly bloomed flowers lingered in the air.Da: Her, mellem kunst og natur, begyndte deres samtale om det fortidige, det fortrykte.En: Here, between art and nature, their conversation about the past, the repressed, began.Da: Kasper spurgte stille: "Hvorfor forsvandt du, Signe?"En: Kasper asked quietly, "Why did you disappear, Signe?"Da: Hun tøvede, men samlede mod.En: She hesitated, but gathered courage.Da: "Jeg var bange," indrømmede hun.En: "I was afraid," she admitted.Da: "Bange for, hvor meget du betød for mig.En: "Afraid of how much you meant to me.Da: Så jeg tog en usikker beslutning."En: So I made an uncertain decision."Da: Tårerne trak sig i hendes øjne.En: Tears welled in her eyes.Da: Kasper tøvede, men tog hendes hånd.En: Kasper hesitated but took her hand.Da: "Jeg har også været bange.En: "I have been afraid too.Da: Men jeg ønskede aldrig, at du skulle forsvinde."En: But I never wanted you to disappear."Da: Sætningen hang i luften, mens de begge tog det ind.En: The sentence hung in the air as they both took it in.Da: De vidste, at de ikke kunne ændre fortiden, men deres samtale gav dem begge en slags fred.En: They knew they couldn't change the past, but their conversation gave them both a kind of peace.Da: Da de skiltes i museets park, vidste de, at de var klar til at komme videre.En: As they parted in the museum's park, they knew they were ready to move forward.Da: De var ikke længere fanget af "hvad nu hvis".En: They were no longer trapped by "what ifs".Da: De gik indad, som venner, med et smil og en lettelse.En: They walked inward, as friends, with a smile and relief.Da: Kasper så ud over Øresund én sidste gang før han gik.En: Kasper looked out over the Øresund one last time before he left.Da: Han følte sig lettere, klar til at omfavne nye muligheder, med en hilsen til den fortid, han nu forstod lidt mere.En: He felt lighter, ready to embrace new possibilities, with a nod to the past that he now understood a little more.

This week we are running a re-air of an interview with the curator and writer Elisa Auther about the fascinating history of fiber art and its recent rise. The show we mentioned in the episode, woven histories, textiles and modern abstraction has arrived at the Museum of Modern Art in New York this week. And I think Auther's perspective makes a nice compliment to that important show. Contemporary art comes in many shapes and forms, but close your eyes and think of what an artist looks like and nine times out of 10, I bet you are still thinking of a painter in front of a canvas. If recent interest for museums and galleries is any indication, however, that image should be joined by another one: the fiber artist. Think of a weaver seated at the loom or a quilt-maker laboriously stitching together layers of fabric. The textile arts have experienced a quiet but steady groundswell of interest in the last decades, and recently I've noticed that it feels as if it is kicked into a new, even higher level, from the many kinds of textile based art throughout the most recent Venice Biennale to the major show "Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction," which is on a tour of some of North America's most important museums right now. As many textile scholars will tell you, tapestry was once as exalted as painting as an art form, and it may be so again. This surge of interest is bringing new audiences, new histories, and new vocabularies into the center of the action that are worth getting familiar with, and to unravel all the different threads, Art Critic Ben Davis turned to Elissa Auther, a scholar who looked at the tangled history of fiber art in her book String Felt, Thread: The Hierarchy of Art and Craft in American Art.  More importantly, she's been closely observing and encouraging the contemporary boom in textile art as the chief curator at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. This week she the podcast to discuss what's behind the resurgence of interest in this medium.

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief rolls into the beating heart of the South—Atlanta, Georgia—where whiskey meets modern art in a way you've never seen before. He sits down with Matt Greif, the visionary Head Distiller at Distillery of Modern Art, a place where creativity flows as freely as the spirits. It's not just a distillery—it's an immersive experience. Picture this: a contemporary art gallery that champions local talent, wrapped in the aroma of oak barrels and filled with the hum of conversation and clinking glasses. Here, art and whiskey dance together in perfect harmony. Matt starts things off by pouring Big Chief a dram of their 100% corn whiskey—and what a first impression. On the nose, it's a bouquet of baking spices, honey cake, and dried flowers. A sip reveals a delicious tapestry of fruit compote, peanut brittle, and the warm savoriness of roasted corn. It's bold. It's elegant. It's a conversation in a glass. Then comes something truly rare—a corn whiskey finished in amburana barrels. Big Chief leans back, eyes wide. “Oh my,” he says, stunned by the complexity. It's the first finished corn whiskey he's ever tasted, and hands-down the best. With whispers of spice and soft sweetness, it's a breakfast whiskey worthy of sunrise sips and Sunday mornings. But the journey doesn't stop there. Matt brings out their bourbon, crafted from a mash bill of 67% white corn, 21% Abruzzi rye, and 12% malted barley. The flavor? A lush profile of dried and stewed orchard fruits, kissed with honey and a soft floral finish. It's the kind of pour you reach for before a perfectly seared steak—a whiskey that sets the tone. To close the show, they dive into the rye whiskey, a masterpiece made with 70% Abruzzi rye, 15% white corn, and 15% malted barley. Notes of crisp apple open the door, followed by baked cinnamon apple pie and the smooth richness of vanilla ice cream. It finishes with spearmint and spiced tea—a finale worthy of a standing ovation. Each pour, each bottle, each sip—uniquely Atlanta. This isn't just whiskey. It's Georgia's spirit, bottled with pride. This episode isn't just about tasting whiskey. It's about tasting culture, community, and craft. It's a love letter to a city that's rewriting the story of Southern spirits. This is The Whiskey Trip. Cheers, y'all.  

Episode 470 / Lucio Pozzi Lucio Pozzi was born in 1935 in Milan, Italy. After living a few years in Rome, where he studied architecture, he came to the United States in 1962, as a guest of the Harvard International Summer Seminar. He then settled in New York and took the US citizenship. A pioneer in working concurrently across different media, Pozzi has presented videotapeworks at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and watercolor landscapes at the John Weber Gallery in New York, regarded in its day as the “temple of Conceptualism.” He has shown work in Documenta 6 (1977) and at the Venice Biennale (U.S. Pavilion) in 1980. He occasionally writes and has taught at Cooper Union, the Yale Graduate Sculpture Program, Princeton University, School of Visual Arts and Maryland Institute College of Art, among other art schools in the US and Europe. His work is included in the collections of major international museums and private institutions and collectors. He currently lives and works in Hudson, NY, and Valeggio s/M (Verona) Italy.If you're in New York this May, check out Future Fair, an independent contemporary art fair celebrating its fifth anniversary in Chelsea from May 7th to 10th.

Vanessa Sinclair, PsyD is a psychoanalyst in private practice, who works remotely online with people all over the world. She hosts the internationally-renowned podcast Rendering Unconscious, which was awarded the Gradiva Award for Digital Media by the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis (NAAP).Dr. Sinclair is the author of Things Happen (2024), Scansion in Psychoanalysis and Art: The Cut in Creation (2021), The Pathways of the Heart (2021), and Switching Mirrors (2016).She is the editor of Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Films of Ingmar Bergman: From Freud to Lacan and Beyond(2023), as well as the Rendering Unconscious: Psychoanalytic Perspectives book series.Dr. Sinclair co-edited The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: From Freud and Lacan to Laplanche and Beyond (2025) with Elisabeth Punzi and Myriam Sauer, as well as Outsider Inpatient: Reflections on Art as Therapy (2021) with Elisabeth Punzi, On Psychoanalysis and Violence: Contemporary Lacanian Perspectives (2019) with Manya Steinkoler, and The Fenris Wolf vol 9 (2017) and The Fenris Wolf vol 11 (2022) with Carl Abrahamsson. She is a founding member of Das Unbehagen: A Free Association for Psychoanalysis, sits on the International Advisory Board for the journal Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society, and is Editorial Advisor for Parapraxis Magazine.Vanessa and I talk about her upcoming course with Morbid Anatomy, “The Cut in Creation: Exploring the Avant-Garde, Dada, Surrealism, Modern Art, Noise Music, and Performance Art through a Psychoanalytic Lens.” This course will be taking place on Sundays, from May 25- June 15, and all classes will be recorded for those who can't make it to the live class for whatever reason.As the Morbid Anatomy website states: Drawing on the theories of a variety of psychoanalysts, including Freud, Lacan and Laplanche, the course will explore the long and rich relationship between psychoanalysis and the fine arts – from painting and music to poetry, collage, photography, film, and performance art, including the use of technology and body modification to explore aspects of identity, gender and sexuality. Through immersion in the work of these artists and psychoanalytic ideas, participants will walk away with a better understanding of the transformative process inherent of the act of creation itself, especially when used as a powerful disruption of narrative, and hopefully feel inspired themselves to create! In this discussion, Vanessa gives a sneak peek into each of the four parts of the course. Some highlights are: talking about the inspiration for the course;outlining the events that led to the creation of psychoanalysis as well as the avant-garde movement;expanding on the historical backdrop – what was happening during these years that created this paradigm shift;looking at the years leading up to WW1, and what was taking place then, focusing on psychoanalysis and the avant-garde art scenes;focusing on surrealism and later developments in experimental film, followed by some discussion on the Beat Poets, and outlining how these three are interconnected;focusing on the birth of pop art, and art as it moved from the galleries to the streets, as well as performance art that included the body as an important vehicle/tool of expression. PROGRAM NOTES:Vanessa's website (with all links): Dr Vanessa SinclairMorbid Anatomy Course:The Cut in Creation: Exploring the Avant-Garde, Dada, Surrealism, Modern Art, Noise Music, and Performance Art through a Psychoanalytic Lens, Led by Vanessa Sinclair, PsyD, Begins May 25 — Morbid AnatomySelected Works:Amazon.com: Scansion in Psychoanalysis and Art (Art, Creativity, and Psychoanalysis Book Series): 9780367567262: Sinclair, Vanessa: BooksAmazon.com: The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: 9781032603827: Sinclair, Vanessa, Punzi, Elisabeth, Sauer, Myriam: BooksPodcast Rendering Unconscious:Podcast – Dr Vanessa SinclairInstagram:InstagramRobert Frank, Me and My Brother (1968)Me and My Brother (1968) - IMDbMusic, Editing and Video Production: Stephanie Shea

Presented by The Museum of Modern Art and Film at Lincoln Center, the 54th edition of New Directors/New Films (ND/NF) takes place through April 13, and has, since 1972, showcased new and emerging filmmakers whose distinctive visions and risk-taking works highlight the vitality and potential of cinema. Personal anguish and noirish mystery are inextricably bound in Invention, wherein Callie Hernandez (who co-conceptualized the film, and plays a cross between herself and some other vision) seeks the truth about her father—an inventor of devices boasting untapped power—whose death is not what it seems. Traversing a backwoods America of oddballs, cretins, estate vultures, and even the occasional sweetheart, Hernandez's journey is a constant reminder of how much our loved ones hide from us in life and death alike. Courtney Stephens's years in experimental documentary cinema help turn this Super 16mm–shot investigation narrative on its head, while a commanding performance confirms Hernandez as a captivating screen performer and artist.

Episode No. 700 (!) features artist Tarrah Krajnak and curator Claire Howard. Krajnak is featured in two exhibitions on opposite sides of the United States. At the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Krajnak is featured in "Around Group f.64: Legacies and Counterhistories in Bay Area Photography" through July 13. The exhibition was curated by Shana Lopes, Erin O'Toole, and Delphine Sims, with Sally Katz and Alex Landry. At the International Center of Photography, New York, Kraynak's work is included in "To Conjure: New Archives in Recent Photography." Organized by Sara Ickow, Keisha Scarville, and Elisabeth Sherman, the exhibition presents the ways in which seven photographers are reimagining what an archive can be, or might look like. A third US exhibition of Krajnak's work opens April 16 at the Frye Art Museum, Seattle. It will be curated by Georgia Erger. Krajnak works between photography, performance, and poetry. Krajnak, who was born in Peru to an Indigenous mother and who was raised by a transracial US family, often interrogates photography standards and finds that they have limited women, and furthered the violent loss of Native land, lives, and rights. She has won most major photography prizes; her work is in the collections of museums such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Tate Modern, London; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; and the Museum Ludwig, Cologne. Raab is the author of "Relics of War: The History of a Photograph" from Princeton University Press. It examines a photograph made by Clara Barton and published by Matthew Brady that features relics from the notorious Confederate prison at Andersonville, Georgia. "Relics of War" traces how the photograph was a central part of Barton's work of addressing mass death and related grief. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $42-59.
