In der festlichen Spezialfolge des Brettspiel-News-Podcasts steht ein Rückblick auf das Spielejahr und auf die Momente im Mittelpunkt, die in der Redaktion besonders hängen geblieben sind. Der Jahresausklang wird dabei als Anlass genommen, um auf das gemeinsame Spielen als Ritual zu schauen – dort, wo an den Feiertagen Familie und Freundeskreis zusammenkommen und Brettspiele oft den Rahmen für Gespräche, Lachen und kleine Traditionen bilden.Den Auftakt macht Alex, der vor allem die sozialen Seiten des Spielens betont. Als persönliche Highlights nennt er „Hybris: Disordered Cosmos“ und „Aeterna“, zwei Titel, die für ihn über Thema und Interaktion funktionieren. Gleichzeitig geht es um den Blick auf den eigenen Spieltisch zu Weihnachten: Mit „Hitster“ steht ein leicht zugänglicher Dauerbrenner für die jüngeren Mitspielenden bereit, während er mit seinem älteren Sohn eher in Richtung „Spirit Island“ plant.Sarah und Ben knüpfen daran an und sprechen über ihre Vorfreude auf die Feiertage. Auf der Wunschliste landet „Limit“, ein Zivilisationsspiel, das sie auf der Messe entdeckt haben und nun in Ruhe ausprobieren möchten. Daneben spielen auch selbst gepflegte Traditionen eine Rolle – etwa eine eigene Hitster-Weihnachtsedition, die den Abend bewusst in Richtung Nostalgie und Familienritual lenkt.René blickt auf seine stärksten Spielemomente des Jahres zurück und nennt unter anderem „SETI“ und „The Witcher: The Old World“. Sein Rückblick zeigt zugleich, wie sehr feste Gruppen auch über das Jahr hinweg tragen können: Die Online-Runde und ihre gemeinsamen Partien bilden einen roten Faden, der das Spielejahr strukturiert und prägt. Jan bringt anschließend den praktischen Blick aus dem Familienalltag ein und ordnet ein, welche Art von Spielen in welchen Konstellationen gut funktioniert. Für gemischte Runden nennt er bewusst einfache, schnell erklärte Titel wie „Cluster“ und „Sky Joe“, die ohne lange Einstiegshürde an den Tisch kommen.Marisa setzt den Schwerpunkt auf das Verschenken und auf Spiele, die sich für gemeinsame, ruhige Abende eignen. „Das wunderbare, wundersame Wesen“ steht dabei als gemütlicher Kontrast zu schwereren Titeln, während „Modern Art“ als Vorfreude-Thema auftaucht. Steffen wiederum zeichnet ein Bild der Brettspielwelt im Wandel und verknüpft seine Eindrücke von Presse-Event und Messen mit einem klaren Jahreshighlight: „Heat“ gehört für ihn zu den prägenden Spielen – auch, weil es sich gut in unterschiedliche Runden tragen lässt und dadurch häufiger auf dem Tisch landet.So entsteht aus den einzelnen Stimmen ein Querschnitt durch sehr verschiedene Spielweisen und Feiertagspläne: vom schnellen Partyspiel bis zum komplexeren Projekt für längere Abende. Gemeinsam ist allen Beiträgen der Blick auf Brettspiele als Anlass für geteilte Zeit. Zum Abschluss steht entsprechend weniger das einzelne Spiel im Fokus als der Wunsch nach ruhigen Feiertagen – mit Platz für neue Partien, alte Favoriten und Erinnerungen, die am Tisch entstehen.

In this episode, Pauline sits down with Paola Antonelli, the visionary Senior Curator of Architecture & Design and founding Director of Research & Development at the Museum of Modern Art, whose career has been dedicated to helping people see the extraordinary in the ordinary.Antonelli challenges the idea that great design is about perfection. Instead, she argues, it's about intention: function with a point of view. From jolie-laide objects we can't stop staring at (yes, the Cybertruck) to the lasting joy of a Vespa, she argues that the opposite of beauty isn't ugliness; it's indifference.Together, Pauline and Paola explore secondhand fashion, the sensory limits of “pixel taste,” and why social media demands a stronger critical spine. A playful “design redemption” lightning round reveals the hidden genius of everyday objects—from shopping carts to traffic dividers—before closing with a provocative look at what meaningful design will become by the year 2050.Curious to understand the difference between art and design - and why it matters? Tune in for this masterclass in Aesthetic Intelligence.

Episode No. 737 features curators Beverly Adams and Jamillah James.

Episode 506 / Ragnar Kjartansson Ragnar Kjartansson is an artist who lives and works in Reykjavik. He engages multiple artistic mediums in his performative practice. The history of film, music, theatre, visual culture and literature find their way into his video installations, durational performances, drawing and painting. Pretending and staging are key tools in Kjartansson's efforts to convey sincere emotion and offer genuine experiences to audiences. Kjartansson's work has been exhibited widely, including solo exhibitions and performances at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Barbican Centre, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Reykjavik Art Museum, Palais de Tokyo, and New Museum. 

Olafur Eliasson talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Eliasson was born in 1967 in Copenhagen and grew up between Denmark and Iceland, where his parents were from. His installations, sculptures, photographs and paintings, among other projects, reflect a profound concern with human presence in nature and how we perceive and interact with the world around us. His works can be deceptively simple or enormously complex, but often share a rigorous and reductive geometry, which may conversely produce expansive and multifarious perceptual, sensory and embodied effects. Eliasson has stated that “the spectator is the central issue”, a long-established aspect of conceptual and environmental practices, but for him it is important that the viewer not only completes the work, but is also transformed by it. This subjective and individual revelation is, he hopes, allied to a sense of collective experience, what he calls a “we-ness”, that often alerts his audience to wider cultural and social issues including the climate catastrophe. Indeed, environment, in multiple senses, is the fundamental element of his work.He discusses his deep concern about the climate catastrophe and the importance of action. He reflects on his concept of “seeing yourself sensing” and its shifting nature in relation to different works across his career, and how he often includes the word “your” in his titles as a gesture of trust towards his audience. He discusses the wealth of writers and thinkers that inform his work on a daily basis, from Donna Haraway to Alva Noë. He recalls the epiphany of experiencing a work by James Turrell and his fascination with early Renaissance conceptions of space. He reflects on his early fascination with breakdance and his current enjoyment of music by Hilda Gunnarsdóttir and Rosalía. Plus, he gives insight into life in his vast studio in Berlin, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Olafur Eliasson: Presence, Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia, until 12 July 2026; Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey, Museum MACAN, Jakarta, Indonesia, 12 April 2026, Your view matter by Olafur Eliasson, Padimai Art & Tech Studio, Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Singapore, 31 March 2026; and Olafur's first permanent public work in the UK, Your planetary assembly, 2025, is on view at Oxford North, Oxford, UK now.

Send us a textIn this episode of Artwank, we visit Bundanon to discuss the current exhibition, 'The Hidden Line The Art of the Boyd Women', with curator Sophie O'Brien. The exhibition brings attention to the women of the Boyd family (Arthur Boyd was a celebrated Australian artist, leaving his home, the Bundanon estate, to support the arts) and their role in Australian art and cultural life. While the Boyd name is often associated with male artists, this show focuses on the work, lives and influence of the women who shaped the legacy in ways that have often been overlooked.Sophie O'Brien joins us to talk through the curatorial process behind the exhibition. She reflects on how the project developed, how works and archival materials were selected, and the challenges of representing multiple generations of women across different creative practices. The conversation explores what it means to reframe established art histories and how institutions like Bundanon can open space for stories that have not always been centred.Sophie O'Brien is a curator at Bundanon where she works across exhibitions, collections and research. She has held roles at major public institutions and has worked on a wide range of projects spanning historical and contemporary art. Her practice is grounded in close engagement with artists, archives and place, with a focus on bringing new perspectives to existing collections.This episode looks at the labour of curating, the gaps that still exist in art history and how exhibitions like The Boyd Women can shift public understanding of legacy, authorship and recognition. It is a conversation about process, responsibility and the ongoing work of making space for women within cultural narratives.Thanks for chatting to us SophieRecorded November 2025Exhibition on until 15th February 2026'The Hidden Line: Art of the Boyd Women repositions the creative practices of five generations of women from one of Australia's most prominent artistic dynasties. Showcasing more than 300 powerful and diverse works, this timely exhibition brings into focus the women of the Boyd family – artists, designers, writers, and creative collaborators – whose contributions have long been influential yet overshadowed by their celebrated male counterparts.Revealing a remarkable matrilineal line of artistic practices, the exhibition will present works by Emma Minnie a'Beckett Boyd, Lady Mary Nolan, Yvonne Boyd, Lucy Boyd Beck, Hermia Boyd and their descendents still practicing today including Lucy Boyd, Polly Boyd, Florence Boyd Williams and Ellen Boyd Green.

Steven Peltzman is the CEO of FeedbackNow, a company that provides real-time customer experience monitoring solutions using physical sensors and digital platforms for spaces like airports, hospitals, and retail locations. Under Steven's leadership, FeedbackNow has deployed its technology in major US airports and leading healthcare facilities, helping organizations move from traditional surveys to actionable, real-time feedback, with proven impact on both customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Steven's diverse career spans roles as an Air Force officer in stealth technology, CTO at the Museum of Modern Art, and Chief Business Technology Officer at Forrester Research. In this episode… Real-time customer feedback has become one of those ideas that everyone claims to value, yet few organizations truly know how to use. It's easy to gather opinions after the fact, but far harder to understand what's really happening while an experience is unfolding. What if companies could see issues the moment they emerge and fix them before customers even complain? According to Steven Peltzman, a longtime leader in technology-driven customer experience innovation, the answer starts with capturing what people feel in the exact moment they feel it. Drawing from his experience building systems that merge digital intelligence with physical-world interactions, Steven explains that real-time signals reveal patterns surveys will never catch. He shares how airports, hospitals, and convenience stores are transforming operations by reacting instantly to sentiment shifts and predicting problems before they escalate. And with multiple data streams working together, he believes companies can finally bridge the gap between insight and action. In this episode of the Revenue Engine Podcast, host Alex Gluz is joined by Steven Peltzman, CEO of FeedbackNow, to discuss how real-time customer feedback is reshaping operations. They explore how sensor-driven insights outperform traditional surveys, how organizations can react and predict issues in the moment, and why certain industries are primed for transformation. Steven also shares how tying feedback to outcomes like revenue unlocks true operational change.

In this conversation, host David Bryan speaks with Dr. Tracie Canada about her recent book, which explores the intersection of race, gender, and college football. They discuss the unique experiences of Black college football players, the implications of a Black feminist perspective, and the importance of community and care among players. The conversation highlights the exploitation faced by student-athletes and the broader societal issues impacting their lives. Canada discusses the intricate dynamics of college athletics, focusing on the bonds formed among players, the challenges they face in balancing education and sports, and the systemic issues within the NCAA. She emphasizes the importance of brotherhood among athletes, the complexities of their educational experiences, and potential solutions to improve their circumstances, including unionization and cost-sharing. The conversation also critiques the term 'student-athlete' and advocates for a more honest representation of their roles within the collegiate sports system. 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 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 gameDr. Tracie Canada is a socio-cultural anthropologist whose ethnographic research uses sport to theorize race, kinship and care, gender, and the performing body. Her work focuses on the lived experiences of Black football players. Canada is the Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology & Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University. I'm also the founder and director of the Health, Ethnography, and Race through Sports (HEARTS) Lab.Her research has been supported by various agencies, including the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship, the National Science Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics.In addition to her academic writing, her work has been featured in public venues and outlets like The Museum of Modern Art, TIME, The Guardian, and Scientific American.

Artist Helen Frankenthaler was always innovating. A new exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art explores her experimentation with paint over the decades of her career, beginning in New York and later in Darien, where she spent much of her life. Samantha Friedman, curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints, discusses 'Helen Frankenthaler: A Grand Sweep,' on view through February 8.

— Sanctum Sanctorum: a sacred room or inner chamber; a place of inviolable privacyDiane Arbus: Sanctum Sanctorum, an exhibition of forty-five photographs made in private places across New York, New Jersey, California, and London between 1961 and 1971, is on view at David Zwirner, London, from 6 November to 20 December 2025, and travels to Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco in spring 2026. The exhibition will be accompanied by a comprehensive monograph reproducing all works in the exhibition, jointly published by both galleries.Through her singular combination of intelligence, charisma, intuition, and courage, Diane Arbus was frequently invited into homes and other private realms seldom seen by strangers. Though made in intimate settings, her photographs evidence no sense of intrusion or trespass. Instead, they reveal an unspoken exchange between photographer and subject, a moment of recognition in which confidences emerge freely and without judgment.Arbus's desire to know people embraced a vast spectrum of humanity. Her subjects in Sanctum Sanctorum include debutantes, nudists, celebrities, aspiring celebrities, socialites, transvestites, babies, widows, circus performers, lovers, female impersonators, and a blind couple in their bedroom.The exhibition brings together little-known works, such as Girl sitting in bed with her boyfriend, N.Y.C. 1966; Ozzie and Harriet Nelson on their bed, Los Angeles 1970; and Interior decorator at the nudist camp in his trailer, New Jersey 1963, alongside celebrated images like Mexican dwarf in his hotel room, N.Y.C. 1970 and A naked man being a woman, N.Y.C. 1968. While many of Arbus's photographs have become part of the public's collective consciousness since her landmark retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1972, seen in this context, viewers may discover aspects of even familiar works that have previously gone unnoticed.Sanctum Sanctorum follows two recent major exhibitions of the artist's work: Cataclysm: The 1972 Diane Arbus Retrospective Revisited at David Zwirner New York (2022) and Los Angeles (2025), and Diane Arbus: Constellation at LUMA, Arles (2023–2024) and the Park Avenue Armory, New York (2025).Follow @DianeArbus @FraenkelGallery @DavidZwirner Hosted on Acast.

Dr. Greg Hammer, is a Former Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, Physician, Best-Selling Author, and Mindfulness Expert.It was a wonderful conversation as he shared stories of his grandmother and her love for art and he declaration about using proper english grammar. Greg shares how he inherited  that same consciousness as to being respectful to the english language.A Best Selling Author with an eye on being active and healthy, his recent book is about adults, caregivers, teachers helping teenagers reduce their stress levels by using his meditative technique incorporating Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention and Non judgement in a 3-4 minute daily meditation that anyone can do. He explains and walks us through a short meditation during this conversation.It's important for all of us to have balance in our lives-mental and physical balance and peace.It was a real pleasure speaking and meeting Dr. Greg Hammer.architectInformation about his most recent book: A Mindful Teen: Helping Today's Teenagers Thrive through Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non judgement Topic: Coping Strategies for Youth this National Suicide Prevention MonthTalk Points: Destigmatization is the key - Suicide is preventable through awareness, education, and accessible resources.The more we discuss mental health in productive ways, the better primed we will be to catch the warning signs before they progress into something serious.Openly discussing mental health encourages youth to initiate those conversations for themselves and ask for help should they need it.Today's teens face stressors that older generations never imaginedSocial media, smartphones, and the internet – and AIAfter-effects of COVID lockdown and isolationThe great political divide, affecting relationships in and outside of familiesIncreasingly competitive college admission and tuitionThe economic pressures their families faceThe Role of Parents and Parenting  - Cultivating Compassion, Forgiveness, and EmpathyThe Risks and How to Spot Them*Early Detection can save your child's life - The warning signs that someone is struggling with their mental health can easily be overlooked (especially amongst teenagers).*The most common symptoms of depression and anxiety (i.e. changes in behavior and mood, irritability, changes in sleep habits, changes in eating habits, withdrawing socially) are also commonly associated with the standard growing pains and hormonal shifts of adolescence. So, how do you know the difference?If something feels off with your child, the best thing you can do is ask.Sit down with your child and have a gentle, but honest conversation about your concerns. You may have to speak with them multiple times before they're ready to open up. Trust your instincts and be gently persistent.Consult a Mental Health Professional: There is no shame in asking for help for both teens and adults.Mindfulness at Home - Encouraging children to practice mindfulness daily can help build their mental and emotional resilience and protect their mental health in the short and long term.*Mindfulness can be a great tool to help teens rewire their brains away from the negativity on which they dwell. It can neutralize their tendency to ruminate over the past, often leading to depression, and to overthinking the future, creating fear and anxiety.The GAIN Method - Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Nonjudgment are the pillars of happiness for teens - and for the rest of us.Website:https://amindfulteen.com/Facebook: @GregHammerMD; https://www.facebook.com/greghammermd/Instagram: @greghammermd; https://www.instagram.com/greghammermd/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-hammer-02b20422/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

David Hockney is arguably Britain's most loved living artist. He's known as a colourful character, not only because of his vibrant, colour rich paintings of Californian landscapes, glittering blue pools, and thick Yorkshire woodlands, but also his own carefully curated image from the 1960s- bright blond hair and oversized thick black round glasses. He was born in Bradford in 1937, and knew by the age of 10 he wanted to be an artist. He studied at the Royal College of Art, and by his mid 20s he was key player in London's bohemian pop-art scene. He then moved to LA in pursuit of sunshine and inspiration. He delights in using new technology to create; from the polaroid, to the fax machine, and his iPad. Now, more than 60 years into his career, aged 88, David Hockney is not slowing down. His image has recently been depicted by drones in a light-show in the skies above Bradford, in a colourful tribute to the city's most famous son. Becky Milligan speaks to his muse, the textile designer Celia Birtwell, art historian Marco Livingstone, dancer and contemporary Wayne Sleep and art critic Waldemar Januszczak.

In the 2016 documentary The Happy Film, designer Stefan Sagmeister started the film's creative process with one set of expectations and ultimately became a co-director who took multiple risks, and suffered a tremendous loss. During the filmmaking, co-director Hillman Curtis passed away. Stefan's movie about happiness not only forces us to look at his life but also our own lives with a fresh perspective, and it teaches us the importance of coping with harsh, tragic, and unforeseen realities.-Stefan Sagmeister is an Austrian designer living and working in New York. He received his MFA from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, and as a Fulbright Scholar he earned his MFA in communication design from The Pratt Institute. In 2025 he received an honorary degree from Pratt, the Doctor of Fine Arts, for being a creative and innovative leader in the field. He's also been honored by the AIGA, received a National Design Award from the the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, and exhibited his solo and collaborative designs internationally. Early in his career, Stefan brought new life to music packaging with his memorable, interactive designs for albums by the Talking Heads, Brian Eno, and David Byrne, among others, winning two Grammy Awards. His work is in multiple permanent collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, and he is the author of "Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far" a blend of visual whimsy, serious plan, and sound advice. https://sagmeister.com/‍ ‍https://www.grammy.com/artists/stefan-sagmeister/9972‍ ‍https://www.moma.org/artists/30682-stefan-sagmeister‍ ‍-The Happy Film (2016)rent/buy @ Amazonhttps://amzn.to/3WIdnb6‍ ‍https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5134870/‍ ‍-Sagmeister's "Now Is Better"https://amzn.to/4hP4J49‍ ‍-Sagmeister's "Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far"https://amzn.to/49UmPzD‍ ‍-Other movies and shows discussed:Comedian (2002)

Before the idea of feminism took shape, there was what writers once called “the woman question.” The phrase comes from the querelle des femmes—a centuries-long debate in Europe about women's rights, intellect, and place in society. One of the first to take it up was Christine de Pizan, the Italian-French court writer who, in 1405, published The Book of the City of Ladies. At a time when most women were excluded from education and public life, de Pizan challenged misogyny head-on, laying some of the earliest groundwork for what we now understand as feminist thought. That question—what is a woman's place in culture and history?—has echoed ever since. In 1971, the art historian Linda Nochlin famously reframed it by asking: “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” We have a clear answer: there had been great women artists all along, but their stories were often overlooked, dismissed, or erased. A new exhibition at the recently opened Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw hones in on that conversation. "The Woman Question: 1550–2025," curated by Alison M. Gingeras, gathers nearly five hundred years of women's creative production—from Renaissance pioneers like Sofonisba Anguissola and Lavinia Fontana, to Baroque heroines such as Elisabetta Sirani and Artemisia Gentileschi, and contemporary artists including Betty Tompkins and Lisa Brice. With more than 200 artworks, the exhibition focuses on how women saw and depicted themselves and the world, and how the represented power, resistance, desire, and violence. Through portraits, allegories, and bold depictions of female experience, these artists reveal how women have long claimed creative agency despite the structures built to contain them. On this episode of The Art Angle, Gingeras joins senior editor Kate Brown from Warsaw, Poland, to talk about early women art stars, recent rediscoveries, and why, after all this time, we still need all-women exhibitions.

A new exhibition at the MoMA celebrates the career of Cuban artist Wifredo Lam, an artist who helped push the boundaries of modernism. Curators Christophe Cherix and Beverly Adams join to discuss "Wifredo Lam: When I Don't Sleep, I Dream," up now through April 11 2026. Image credit: Wifredo Lam. La jungla (The Jungle), 1942-43.

What would the C.I.A. have to do with "modern art", jazz and other art forms? The answer is truly unbelievable. Starting in the 1940's the C.I.A., the Rockefellers and the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) set in motion a psychological operation that continues to this day. Using art in all its forms as a tool, weapon and guiding hand to persuade the masses, as a smoke screen and more. Let's look into how this happened, how it works and how it's still at play today!Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

In the 40th episode of our "Reading the Art World" podcast, Megan Fox Kelly speaks with the Guggenheim's Megan Fontanella, Curator of Modern Art and Provenance, about her beautifully researched book "Gabriele Münter: Contours of a World," published by Guggenheim Museum Publications, distributed by Artbook DAP.Our conversation reveals the life and art of Gabriele Münter, a pioneering German Expressionist whose bold use of color and form helped define early modernism—yet whose place in art history has long been understated. Fontanella traces Münter's path from her early photographic work during travels in the United States (1898-1900) to her vibrant paintings that reimagined landscape, still life, and portraiture through radical simplification and expressive color.We discuss Münter's role as cofounder of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), the influential collective that included Vasily Kandinsky and other progressive artists who pushed the expressive potential of color and symbolic form. Fontanella shows how Münter developed her distinctive visual language—one that sought to "convey an essence" rather than imitate reality—offering a lyrical alternative to the pure abstraction that dominated much of early Modernism.One of the most compelling parts of our conversation addresses Münter's actions during World War II, when she hid major works by herself and other Blue Rider artists in the basement of her home in Murnau, Germany, protecting them from Nazi confiscation. This act of quiet courage preserved a vital chapter of modern art history. Fontanella reflects on how women artists of Münter's generation have been systematically undervalued, and how recent scholarship is finally restoring Münter to her place in the modernist canon.For anyone interested in German Expressionism, the recovery of women artists' legacies, or the collaborative networks that shaped the early 20th-century avant-garde, this episode offers essential insights into an artist whose vision continues to inspire—and whose work deserves far greater recognition.ABOUT THE AUTHORMegan Fontanella is Curator of Modern Art and Provenance at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. She is recognized as an expert in provenance research with a focus on World War II spoliation issues. Fontanella graduated from Dartmouth College with a BA in art history and received her MA from the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, where she specialized in late 19th-century French art.ABOUT THE EXHIBITION"Gabriele Münter: Contours of a World" is on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, from November 7, 2025 through April 26, 2026. The exhibition presents over fifty paintings across three Tower galleries, alongside nineteen photographs Münter captured during her extended stay in the United States.

Uptown Charlotte's cultural block is home to three museums that opened within months of each other, helping define the city's modern arts identity. Among them is the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, a compact, instantly recognizable building anchored by the mirrored “Firebird” sculpture — one of the most photographed artworks in North Carolina. Inside, the museum holds a world-class collection of European and American modernism, much of it acquired by the Swiss Bechtler family through personal relationships with artists.In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, host Steve Dunn talks with Todd D. Smith, executive director of the Bechtler, about how the museum fits into Charlotte's artistic ecosystem, its partnership with neighbors like the Mint and the Gantt, and why modern art still matters in a world overflowing with images. Smith also discusses the museum's recent work to make art more accessible — from therapeutic “art on prescription” programs to collaborations with visually impaired artists that reimagine how we experience texture, sound and space.For more information on the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, visit Bechtler.org.This episode is sponsored by Coca-Cola Consolidated, Charlotte's local bottler and the largest Coca-Cola bottler in the US. Coca-Cola Consolidated demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting veterans and military families through initiatives like the Veterans Resource Group, Hiring Our Heroes partnerships, and community engagement events, recognizing the value of their service and skills.

The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston, US, has agreed to return two works from 1857 by the enslaved 19th-century potter David Drake to his present-day descendants. By the terms of the contract, one vessel will remain on loan to the museum for at least two years. The other—known as the “Poem Jar”—has been purchased back by the museum from the heirs for an undisclosed sum and now comes with “a certificate of ethical ownership”. Ben Luke talks to Ethan Lasser, the MFA's chair of the art of Americas, about this landmark agreement. At the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the exhibition Wifredo Lam: When I Don't Sleep, I Dream opens on Monday. Lam, who was of African and Chinese descent, is now widely regarded as a key, and singular, figure in Modernist painting. Connected in his long life to the Surrealists and Pablo Picasso, and to literary greats including Aimé Césaire and Edouard Glissant, his distinctive practice was above all centred on a profound engagement with Black diasporic culture. Ben talks to the two lead curators of the exhibition, Beverly Adams, curator of Latin American Art at MoMA, and the museum's new director, Christophe Cherix. And this episode's Work of the Week is the Adoration of the Magi (1488) by Domenico Ghirlandaio. The painting is in the Ospedale degli Innocenti, the first hospital for unwanted or orphaned infants, or foundlings, in Europe, built by the great Renaissance architect, Filippo Brunelleschi. The Innocenti, as it is called, is the subject of a new book, called The Innocents of Florence: The Renaissance Discovery of Childhood, by Joseph Luzzi, and Ben speaks to him about the painting and its significance in the Innocenti's collection.Wifredo Lam, Museum of Modern Art, New York, 10 November-11 April 2026.The Innocents of Florence: The Renaissance Discovery of Childhood, published in hardback by WW Norton, from 11 November in the US, priced $29.99, and from 28 November in the UK, priced £23.New subscription offer: eight-week free digital trial of The Art Newspaper.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast today is the esteemed curator, Megan Fontanella. A specialist in Modern Art and Provenance at the Guggenheim New York, Fontanella's research interests focus on late 19th and early 20th European art and the avant-garde in the USA. She has organised a plethora of exhibitions for the Guggenheim across the globe, from Visionaries: Creating a Modern Guggenheim (2017); Kandinsky (2020–21); Kandinsky: Around the Circle (2021–22; 2023–24); Young Picasso in Paris (2023), as well as travelling collection exhibitions in Australia, Canada, and Europe. But the reason why we are speaking to Fontanella today is because she is very excitingly curating a monumental exhibition by the German Expressionist, Gabriele Münter. Titled Contours of a World, the show – opening 7 November through to April 2026 – will feature 60 of the artist's luminous, bold, sometimes rapidly-made paintings – from her portraits of friends to landscapes of the German alpine town of Murnau – that chart the changing face of modernism in art. Focusing on 1908 to 1920, it will deep-dive into her involvement with “The Blue Rider” – a group of visionary artists and writers who explored how colour and form could evoke emotion and spiritualist ideas – to the works she made during the First World War. Gabriele Münter: Contours of a World is on view at Guggenheim New York, 7 Nov – 26 Apr 2026: https://www.guggenheim.org/exhibition/gabriele-munter Artists mentioned: Gabriele Münter (1877–1962) Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) Marianne von Werefkin (1860–1938) Der Blaue Reiter (“The Blue Rider”) group Artworks mentioned: Gabriele Münter - Still Life on the Tram After Shopping (1909–1912) Gabriele Münter - Portrait of Marianne Werefkin (1909) Gabriele Münter - Boating (1910) Gabriele Münter - Meditation (1917) Gabriele Münter - Future (Woman in Stockholm) (1917) Gabriele Münter - Portrait of Anna Roslund (1917) Gabriele Münter - Lady in an Armchair, Writing (1929) Gabriele Munter -  Breakfast of the Birds (1934)

Guggenheim Museum, New York (NY); and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (NY), among many others.She and Zuckerman discussed shaming young and beautiful women, trust, how we take care of ourselves, making things her own, progress, the ability to copy anything, getting rid of narrative, finding out who we are, identifying people's gifts, seeing joy and the love of making, making bad things, the reality of self-doubt, looking for things that bother you, piggy backing, and how hard it is to be alive!

What would the C.I.A. have to do with "modern art", jazz and other art forms?The answer is truly unbelievable. Starting in the 1940's the C.I.A., the Rockefellers, the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) set in motion a psychological operation that continues to this day. Using art in all it's forms as a tool, weapon and guiding hand to persuade the masses, as a smoke screen and more.Let's look into how this happened, how it works and how it's still at play today!Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

In part two of this special fiction-meets-art-history podcast, you'll step into the MoMA after hours, where a professional development retreat turns into something much more sinister. What begins as an inspiring evening quickly spirals into chaos when Dal�'s The Persistence of Memory disappears. The Dalí is gone. The suspects are gathered. And the detectives are running out of time. In the shocking conclusion to An Art History Mystery, our five art teachers—Delilah, Solomon, Madison, Amber, and Robert—return to the Museum of Modern Art for questioning. As the night deepens, stories twist, motives unravel, and the truth finally surfaces. Who had the means? Who had the motive? And who had the opportunity to steal one of the most iconic paintings in modern art? Listen as Detectives Kelly and Forrest piece together the clues in a finale filled with confessions, contradictions, and the ultimate reveal of the thief behind The Persistence of Memory. Was it an act of obsession, ambition, or art itself? Find out in this second and final episode of An Art History Mystery.
