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.

This week we're excited to present a conversation with Invention director Courtney Stephens and lead actress Calle Hernandez (moderated by FLC's Tyler Wilson) from this year's edition of New Directors/New Films. 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.

Tattoos and Tarot: Bridging Ancestral Wisdom into Modern Art   In this special episode of 'Practically Magick,' host Courtney Pearl, a Celtic priestess and ancestral healer, ventures into the world of tattoos with her tattoo artist, Liberty. The episode begins with Courtney pulling two tarot cards—two of wands signifying unity and a card from the Healing Spirits Oracle emphasizing the importance of guidance. Courtney and Liberty discuss spirituality, ancestral healing, and the deep connections found in cultural practices. The episode combines the ritual of tattooing with personal and generational stories, illustrating how modern and ancient traditions can harmonize. They explore themes of personal transformation, the significance of meaningful tattoos, and how both their spiritual paths intersect in their respective practices. The episode concludes with reflections on finding magic and sacredness in everyday life.   Full Episodes on YouTube @PracticallyMagickPodcast 00:00 Welcome to Practically Magic 00:32 Special Episode: Tattoo Appointment 01:19 Pulling Tarot and Oracle Cards 02:12 Unity and Ancestral Connections 05:43 Guidance and Intuition 08:04 Tattoo Session Begins 11:26 Liberty's Tattoo Journey 13:36 Cultural Significance of Tattoos 21:16 Traditional Tattooing Practices 30:10 Spiritual Connections and Healing 33:46 Energy Work and Tattoos 34:17 The Concept of Mana 35:48 Genealogy and Ancestral Energy 37:28 Modern Life and Spirituality 40:13 Retirement and Life Choices 42:04 Thriving in Discomfort 46:45 The Significance of Tattoos 52:07 Liberty's Tattoo Practice 54:34 Conclusion and Reflections

This week we're excited to present a conversation from this year's edition of New Directors/New Films with Familiar Touch director Sarah Friedland and cast members Kathleen Chalfant, Carolyn Michelle, and H. Jon Benjamin. This conversation was moderated by New Directors/New Films co-chair Dan Sullivan. 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. The Opening Night selection of this year's festival, Familiar Touch is about an octogenarian named Ruth (played by Kathleen Chalfant) who has been living independently, but cracks have started to emerge: toast is placed to dry in the dish rack, confusion rests on her face, the dead are spoken of in present tense while the living (such as a son right before her) go entirely unrecognized. Her entrance into an assisted-living facility begins the strange, transcendent journey that is Familiar Touch, Sarah Friedland's feature debut, which earned three awards at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, including the Lion of the Future, Best Director, and Best Actress for Chalfant's astonishing turn. Friedland builds her drama through sharp honesty, and tough as its material may be, few films are so tonally flexible, so able to turn on a dime: stray moments of tenderness, humility, even absurdity poke through, with a love and care for Ruth shown by characters and creators alike. Familiar Touch portends the arrival of major directorial talent and we were honored to have it as the opening night selection of the 54th edition of New Directors/New Films. Familiar Touch will open in select theaters beginning June 20th, courtesy of Music Box Films.

Emmalea Russo is here to discuss her ongoing course PSYCHO-COSMOS and the upcoming workshop we are hosting together DREAMS AS ART: Freud, Jung, Lacan In this discussion we dive into Emmalea's year-long class, "Psycho Cosmos," which explores the intersections of psychoanalysis, astrology, and art. The class features visuals, slides, and conversations, and has attracted a diverse group of artists, astrologers, and psychoanalysts. We highlight synchronicities, such as references to Freud's seminal dream “Irma's Injection” and Louise Bourgeois' spiders, and discuss the astrological significance of Neptune entering Aries. We discuss our upcoming workshop on Freud, Lacan, and Jung, and their relationship to art, where we'll explore dreams and life as creative expressions, and artworks as mirroring dreamwork. I also mention my upcoming classes on avant-garde art and psychoanalysis at Morbid Anatomy, and love for encouraging independent research and diverse perspectives. EMMALEA RUSSO is a writer. She is the author of four books of poetry and her first novel, Vivienne, was published in 2024.

A new blood of Filipino artists are drawing attention to Philippine folklore, heroes, and the country's many pervasive social issues as their works take centre stage at the Asia Pacific Triennial 11 at the Gallery of Modern Art Brisbane. - Tampok ang mga aswang, anito at tikbalang at iba pang mga lokal na bayani sa mga obra ng mga Pinoy artists; kabilang din ang pagtalakay sa mahalagang isyu sa lipunan sa Asia Pacific Triennial 11 sa Gallery of Modern Art Brisbane.

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.

Ob Prince, Sting oder Lady Gaga: Jens Ritter baut in Deidesheim E-Gitarren für Künstler aus aller Welt. Seine Instrumente sind im Smithsonian Museum in Washington und im Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York ausgestellt.

There is a pervasive stereotype of tattoo culture as relating to an underworld of scoundrels, sailors, and ne'er-do-wells, yet it has existed in the West as a professionalized art practice for centuries. Drawing on extensive new research and unprecedented access to largely unpublished private archives of photographs, art, and ephemera, in Tattoos: The Untold History of a Modern Art (Yale University Press, 2024) Dr. Matt Lodder offers a new perspective on the history of commercial tattooing in Europe and the United States, beginning even before it emerged as a recognizable profession in the mid-nineteenth century. In the process, he shows that the art of tattoo has long been both practiced and commissioned by individuals across economic, gender, and class divides; he also examines the stylistic trends that have shaped tattoo's development as an art form over its history. Lodder introduces the many artists and professionals who shaped tattoo history, including early figures like Martin Hildebrandt, the first-known professional tattoo artist in the West; prominent woman artists like Grace Bell and Jessie Knight; mid-twentieth-century icons like Sailor Jerry and Les Skuse and the Bristol Tattoo Club; and contemporary industry stars including Ed Hardy, Davy Jones, and the Leu family. Richly illustrated with rarely published images, this important book is the first to examine the history of tattoo in the west as both a serious profession and an art form. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This conversation between curators Ebony L. Haynes, Thomas (T.) Jean Lax, and K.O. Nnamdie was initiated alongside an essay series in e-flux journal titled “After Okwui Enwezor,” edited by Serubiri Moses.  The episode begins with three short audio excerpts from [1] On the Politics of Disaggregation: Notes on Cildo Meireles' Insertions into Ideological Circuits—Parsons The New School for Design  [2] Postwar: Art between the Pacific and the Atlantic, 1945–1965—Fondation Giacometti [3] Art Dubai Global Art Forum 8: 1955–2055: A Documenta Century Exhibitions covered include: Postwar: Art Between the Pacific and the Atlantic, 1945–1965 (2016) and the 56th Venice Biennale: All the World's Futures (2015). Additionally, the idea of rigorous curating, and the horizon is explored in discussion of recent exhibitions including Judson Dance Theater: The Work is Never Done (2018) at MoMA, and Invisible Man (2017) featuring Jessica Vaughan, Kayode Ojo, Torkwase Dyson and Pope.L at Martos Gallery, and Evil N*gger (2025) featuring Glenn Ligon and Julius Eastman at 52 Walker.   The “After Okwui Enwezor” series in e-flux journal reflects on the resounding presence of the late writer, curator, and theoretician. Along with a focus on his many innovative concepts like the “postcolonial constellation,” the series presents a wide evaluation of Enwezor's curatorial and theoretical practice following other similar initiatives, such as the special issue on Enwezor by the journal he founded, Nka Journal of Contemporary African Art. Moving beyond tributes and biography, this series covers topics such as the relevance of Enwezor's approach to politics, the limits of the exhibition as a form for critique, his conception of modernity and writing on the contemporary, his nomadic epistemology, accounts of his biennials in Seville, Paris, and Venice as institutional critique, and the specific contribution of non-Western artists in the art world. Ebony L. Haynes is the curator and Senior Director at 52 Walker, a David Zwirner gallery space presenting longer format exhibitions with primarily conceptual and research-based artists. T. Lax is a curator of media and performance at New York's Museum of Modern Art, where he has co-organized Judson Dance Theater: The Work is Never Done (2018), Just Above Midtown: Changing Spaces (2022) and Ceremonies Out of the Air: Ralph Lemon (2024) among others. Thomas began his career at the Studio Museum in Harlem, where he contributed to the landmark “f show” contemporary art series in 2012 and put together When The Stars Begin To Fall: Imagination and the American South in 2014. K.O. Nnamdie is an artist, writer, curator, and art advisor. Nnamdie ran Restaurant Projects, a curatorial project between 2018 and 2025 based on their interest in the intersection between hospitality and the arts. Nnamdie also directed anonymous gallery between 2021 and 2024.

exactly what I was telling you about, Femke," he said nonchalantly.Nl: Hij wilde niet toegeven dat hij eigenlijk helemaal niet wist wat hij moest zeggen.En: He didn't want to admit that he actually had no idea what to say.Nl: Femke keek hem even aan, glimlachte en besloot hem het voordeel van de twijfel te geven.En: Femke glanced at him, smiled, and decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.Nl: De kamer was gevuld met abstracte schilderijen en moderne kunst, een scherp contrast met de klassieke stukken die ze eerder hadden gezien.En: The room was filled with abstract paintings and modern art, a stark contrast to the classical pieces they had seen earlier.Nl: Sander wees naar een groot schilderij dat eruitzag als een chaos van kleuren en lijnen.En: Sander pointed to a large

verzon.En: "This suggests the inner struggle of modern man," he said with a confident voice, while he actually made something up on the spot.Nl: Net toen Femke dacht dat ze misschien weg moesten glippen, kwam er een man naar hen toe.En: Just when Femke thought they might need to slip away, a man approached them.Nl: "Wat vindt u van onze hoofdtentoonstelling?"En: "What do you think of our main exhibition?"Nl: vroeg hij geïnteresseerd.En: he asked with interest.Nl: Sander keek even bedenkelijk, en zei toen: "Deze stukken confronteren ons met de tijdelijkheid van perceptie, nietwaar?"En: Sander paused thoughtfully and then said, "These pieces confront us with the temporality of perception, don't they?"Nl: Er viel een stille bewondering.En: A silent admiration fell over them.Nl: De andere genodigden knikten instemmend.En: The other guests nodded in agreement.Nl: Sander voelde zich alsof hij elk moment kon worden ontmaskerd, maar kreeg tegelijkertijd een golf van zelfvertrouwen.En: Sander felt as if he could be exposed at any moment, but simultaneously experienced a wave of self-confidence.Nl: Femke keek met nieuwe ogen naar haar gezelschap.En: Femke looked at her companion with new eyes.Nl: Ze had nooit gedacht dat Sander tot zo'n antwoord in staat was, maar ze wist diep vanbinnen dat hij vooral geluk had gehad.En: She had never thought Sander was capable of such an answer, but she knew deep down that he had mostly been lucky.Nl: Na afloop van de bijeenkomst kwam de man weer naar hen toe.En: After the gathering, the man approached them again.Nl: "U moet naar onze volgende tentoonstelling komen," zei hij met een glimlach.En: "You must come to our next exhibition," he said with a smile.Nl: "U heeft een interessante kijk op kunst."En: "You have an interesting perspective on art."Nl: Sander glimlachte terug, iets nerveus.En: Sander smiled back, somewhat nervously.Nl: "Dank u, maar ik denk dat ik het bij deze ene keer laat," zei hij.En: "Thank you, but I think I'll leave it at this one time," he said.Nl: Buiten, in het zonlicht, sloeg Femke hem lichtjes op de schouder.En: Outside, in the sunlight, Femke lightly tapped him on the shoulder.Nl: "Ik wist het al die tijd," gaf ze toe.En: "I knew it all along," she admitted.Nl: "Je hebt jezelf echt gered daarbinnen.En: "You really saved yourself in there.Nl: Misschien moeten we

you're right.Nl: En weet je, ik denk dat ik kunst nu beter begrijp.En: And you know, I think I understand art better now.Nl: Het gaat om wat jij erin ziet, niet?"En: It's about what you see in it, isn't it?"Nl: Femke knikte.En: Femke nodded.Nl: "Ja, en er is geen goed of fout," zei ze met een glimlach.En: "Yes, and there's no right or wrong," she said with a smile.Nl: Ze liepen hand in hand

Big-time college football promises prestige, drama, media attention, and money. Yet most athletes in this unpaid, amateur system encounter a different reality, facing dangerous injuries, few pro-career opportunities, a free but devalued college education, and future financial instability. In one of the first ethnographies about Black college football players, anthropologist Tracie Canada reveals the ways young athletes strategically resist the exploitative systems that structure their everyday lives. Tackling the Everyday: Race and Nation in Big-Time College Football (University of California Press, 2025) shows how college football particularly harms the young Black men who are overrepresented on gridirons across the country. Although coaches and universities constantly invoke the misleading "football family" narrative, this book describes how a brotherhood among Black players operates alongside their caring mothers, who support them on and off the field. With a Black feminist approach—one that highlights often-overlooked voices—Canada exposes how race, gender, kinship, and care shape the lives of the young athletes who shoulder America's favorite game. Tracie Canada is the Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University. Her work has been featured in public venues and outlets such as the Museum of Modern Art, The Guardian, and Scientific American. Reighan Gillam is Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creation. She is the author of Visualizing Black Lives: Ownership and Control in Afro-Brazilian Media (University of Illinois Press). Learn more about your ad choices.

There is a pervasive stereotype of tattoo culture as relating to an underworld of scoundrels, sailors, and ne'er-do-wells, yet it has existed in the West as a professionalized art practice for centuries. Drawing on extensive new research and unprecedented access to largely unpublished private archives of photographs, art, and ephemera, in Tattoos: The Untold History of a Modern Art (Yale University Press, 2024) Dr. Matt Lodder offers a new perspective on the history of commercial tattooing in Europe and the United States, beginning even before it emerged as a recognizable profession in the mid-nineteenth century. In the process, he shows that the art of tattoo has long been both practiced and commissioned by individuals across economic, gender, and class divides; he also examines the stylistic trends that have shaped tattoo's development as an art form over its history. Lodder introduces the many artists and professionals who shaped tattoo history, including early figures like Martin Hildebrandt, the first-known professional tattoo artist in the West; prominent woman artists like Grace Bell and Jessie Knight; mid-twentieth-century icons like Sailor Jerry and Les Skuse and the Bristol Tattoo Club; and contemporary industry stars including Ed Hardy, Davy Jones, and the Leu family. Richly illustrated with rarely published images, this important book is the first to examine the history of tattoo in the west as both a serious profession and an art form. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

self-described loner, Joel Philip Myers developed his skills in relative isolation from the Studio Glass movement. With works inspired by a vast array of topics ranging from his deep love of the Danish countryside to Dr. Zharkov, the artist avoided elaborate sculpture in favor of substantial vessels that are simple yet powerful. States Myers: “In 1964, on the occasion of an exhibition titled Designed for Production: The Craftsman's Approach, I wrote in an essay in Craft Horizons magazine: ‘My approach to glass, as it is to clay, is to allow the material an expression of its own. Press the material to the utmost, and it will suggest ideas and creative avenues to the responsive artist.' The statement was sincere and enthusiastic, but decidedly naïf. I never thought when I wrote it that it would be the one statement of mine that would continue to be repeatedly quoted, throughout my 46- year-long career, as my defining philosophy. I have no defining philosophy. I am a visual artist, not a philosopher. Thoughts and ideas and opinions do not constitute a philosophy, and my thoughts and ideas and opinions have evolved and matured and changed in the time that has passed since 1964.” He continues: “As an artist I like to think of myself as a visitor in a maze, trying to find a solution to a dizzying puzzle. As in a maze, I have, through blunders and exploration, arrived at solutions, and embraced the manifold possibilities that the material offers: plasticity, transparency, opacity, translucency. I am sensitive to the wonders of the visual world and inspired by the forms and colors of the natural world. My training as a designer has enabled me to understand and exploit organization and structure, adding a rational perspective to my intuitive, emotional self.” Myers earned his degree in advertising design from Parsons School of Design in 1954. He studied in Copenhagen, Denmark, before earning a B.F.A. and M.F.A. in ceramics from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in the early 1960s. In 1963, he was hired as design director at Blenko Glass Company in Milton, West Virginia. Captivated by the drama of this thriving glass factory, he learned glassblowing through observation and practice.  In 1970, Myers established the nascent glass department at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois, where he served as Distinguished Professor of Art for 30 years until he retired from teaching in 1997. He is an Honorary Lifetime Member, 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award Winner and past President of the Glass Art Society, a Fellow of the American Crafts Council, and the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. His work is represented in prominent museum collections around the world, including The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, NY; The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C; The Museum of Decorative Arts, Prague; Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art, Japan; Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Palais du Louvre, Paris, France; and Musee de Design et d'Arts Appliques Contemporains, Lausanne, Switzerland, amongst others. Of his sculpture, Myers states: “My work is concerned with drawing, painting, playing with color and imagery on glass. I work with simple forms and concentrate on the surface enrichment. I prefer the spherical, three-dimensional surface to a flat one, because as I paint and draw on the glass, the glass form receives the drawing, adapts to its shape, distorts and expands it as it clothes and envelops itself in my drawing. I feel a communication with the material, and a reciprocation from my subconscious, as I continually search for new insights into my unknown self.” Enjoy this enlightening conversation with Myers, who at 91 has a near photographic memory of the events and developments that spurred the Studio Glass movement forward in its early days, as well as the ideas and processes of his personal work in glass – some of the most successful and collected of its day.

Crescenzo Notarile grew up surrounded by art. His mother was a sculptress and interior designer and his father was a painter, illustrator, graphic designer, and art director whose work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Notarile's parents collected art and art books, and his father sometimes took him to work where he was exposed to fashion photography and all that went with it. When Notarile was five, his father gave him a camera and he learned to develop film; he knew then that he wanted to be a photographer. He went to school for photography, but switched to cinematography after being inspired by a professor. His parents were his mentors and it was clear that he was destined to work in the arts.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Crescenzo Notarilehttps://youtu.be/_vFzSFYdQLohttps://www.theparischongshow.com

Shows opening in Washington and Dublin this month explore quiltmaking by African American women. Ben Luke talks to Raina Lampkins-Fielder, chief curator for the Souls Grown Deep Foundation, and the organiser of the exhibition Kith & Kin: The Quilts of Gee's Bend at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), about the history of quiltmaking in this small part of Alabama, and the growing recognition of its artistic importance. The Musée Picasso in Paris this week unveiled its exhibition “Degenerate” art: Modern art on trial under the Nazis, which looks back not just at the infamous 1937 exhibition in Munich but also the years-long campaign to attack modern art and artists in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. We speak to the exhibition's co-curator, Johan Popelard. And this episode's Work of the Week marks the death last week of Mel Bochner, a leading figure in the development of conceptual art.

Top shot © Kristof Ramon   The dynamic arena of competitive cycling photography is not for the faint of heart. This grueling specialty requires a mix of split-second reaction times, intuitive technical mastery, and the ability to anticipate—and even more important—embrace risk. It takes a special breed of photographer to continuously capture every ounce of emotion packed into this sport, from bruising injuries and bitter disappointments to the exaltation of a win.    For today's show, we've brought together two passionate cycling aficionados, former competitive cyclist and renowned street photographer Phil Penman and Kristof Ramon, a cycling photography specialist who recently released his first book on the subject. While they're introduced as strangers, get ready to be wowed by the synchronicity of their shared experiences, and the remarkable chemistry that grows between them over the course of the show.   Most people's awareness of competitive cycling revolves around coverage of the Tour de France or other major races shown on TV. Our conversation delves much deeper than this, to reveal what happens behind the scenes, and show both the intensity of purpose and the many stages of suffering that's a hallmark of this sport. Kristof's book is titled The Art of Suffering for a reason. As he aptly sums up in the book's opening quote: “Where the conditions get grimmer and the riders start to suffer, that's when the more interesting stories begin.”   Guests: Phil Penman & Kristof Ramon   Episode Timeline:   3:56: Phil Penman's connection to the competitive cycling world and how his insight as a cyclist informs his photography of the sport.    7:45: The logistics of photographing competitive cycling and the perils of damaging photo equipment.   10:36: The creative aspect to photographing competitive cycling and how to think outside the box to get impactful shots.   15:16: The many stages of suffering involved in competitive cycling, and the pride riders take in having this documented visually.   20:35: Photographer access, the difference between training rides and race days, and the distinctions between agency access and working independently.   26:26: Changes to Kristof's photographic approach and the influence of social media in the sport's evolution.   31:31: Technical aspects of cycling photography, understanding light, capturing speed, and putting in the time so to react intuitively to picture opportunities.   43:44: Episode Break   44:53: Communication strategies, building rapport with riders and teams, and people skills given the sport's international reach.   47:51: Cycling's rich history as a professional sport, and recent changes initiated by British Team Sky that helped the sport evolve.   54:45: The back story to Kristof's Art of Suffering book project and how his collaboration with cycling writer Matt Rendell helped identify suffering as a narrative element.   58:40: Working with clients, balancing that work with personal projects, and developing a distinctive voice as a photographer.    1:06:15: How to start out as a competitive cycling photographer, questions about credentials, and adapting to new networks to distribute your work.   1:13:23: Balancing technical aspects of action photography with the desired emotional response while building in certainties and calculating risk.     Guest Bios: British-born, New York-based photographer Phil Penman has documented the ever-changing scene of New York City's streets for more than 25 years. and he has quite a bit of experience in the world of professional cycling himself.   In his career as a news and magazine photographer, Phil has photographed major public figures and historical events. His reportage following the 9/11 terrorist attack was featured in major print publications and media broadcasts worldwide, and his work covering New York City's pandemic lockdown is in the collection of the U.S. Library of Congress.    In addition to exhibiting at Leica galleries in New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, and London, Phil's signature street photography has appeared in international exhibitions as far afield as Venice, Berlin, and Sydney. He also tours the world teaching photo workshops for Leica Akademie. Phil's books, "Street" published in 2019, and "New York Street Diaries" published in 2023 both became best-sellers and have been featured at New York's Museum of Modern Art.   Kristof Ramon is a pro-cycling photographer who covers some of the world's most prestigious races, including the Tour de France, the Giro d' Italia, the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix. Born and raised in Belgium, Kristof discovered photography while attending film school at age 19. He eventually followed his passion for cycling and photography and has focused exclusively on this sport since 2011.    Working under the name Kramon, his talent for storytelling and his ability to capture the atmosphere and raw emotion of racing makes his images stand out from typical race photography. Kristof's reputation has earned him the respect and trust of many of the biggest racing teams and riders - which is why he's able to capture such extraordinary in-between moments and behind-the-scenes images. The riders are always his primary focus, as evidenced in his close-up portraits of racers caked in sweat, mud, dust, snow, and grime. Kristof's first book, The Art of Suffering, was released in June 2024 by Laurence King Publishing.   Stay Connected: Phil Penman Website: https://www.philpenman.com Phil Penman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philpenman/ Phil Penman Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/philpenmanphotography/  Phil Penman Twitter: https://x.com/Penmanphoto  Phil Penman Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Penman   Kristof Ramon Website: https://kramon.be/ Kristof Ramon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kramon_velophoto Kristof Ramon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kramon/ Kristof Ramon Twitter: https://x.com/kristoframon  Kristof Ramon Photoshelter: https://kramon.photoshelter.com/ Kristof Ramon Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kristoframon/  Kristof Ramon at Lawrence King Publishing: https://us.laurenceking.com/products/the-art-of-suffering
