Na du Schlingel? Warst du's? Hast du Louvre gemacht? Uns kannst du es doch sagen, denn hier, bei Baywatch Berlin, werden weitaus schlimmere Vergehen gebeichtet. Zum Beispiel das krumme Ding von Schmitt, der durch eine unglückliche Verkettung von Boshaftigkeit, Naivität und Zufall einen ahnungslosen Mitarbeiter von FloridaTV in das berühmt-berüchtigte Horror-Hamam locken konnte. Von „Mach das auf jeden Fall!“ bis „Ja, Badehösle kannste anlassen“ wurde eine monströse Verschwörung aufgebaut, die selbst Donald Trump die Schamesröte ins Gesicht treiben würde und die in dieser Folge dringend gebeichtet werden muss. Während Sie, werte Hörerinnen und Hörer, also diese Folge hören, liegt irgendwo ein armer Willi auf der gefließten Folterbank und wird erbarmungslos eingeseift, durchgeruppelt und abgeschrubbt. Er ist nackt, er ist alleine und keiner hört ihn schreien. Dann lieber Baywatch Berlin hören, sagen sie leise zu sich, ehe ihnen Klaas, Lundt und Schmitt ihre Themen wie ein Eimer Eiswasser in den Gehörgang klatschen! Haben Sie noch Gaumensex oder hat es sich ausgemohnt? Lohnt sich ein Einbruch ins ZDF MOrgenMAgazin? Wie war es bei der letzten „Duell um die Welt“-Aufzeichnung aller Zeiten? Ist ein Airfryer im Büro übergriffig und was hat Tupperware mit Klaas Faszination für Sextoyparties zu tun? Meine Güte, wenn man diesem Sammelsurium an Schwachsinn und Nichtigkeiten lauscht, möchte man sich einen Kran mieten, in ein Museum einbrechen und irgendwas aus Wut und Verzweiflung zu Klump hauen. „Ich habe Baywatch gemacht“, sagen sie dann dem Richter, dessen Gnade ihnen gewiss sein wird.

 I'm so excited to say that my guest on the Great Women Artist Podcast is one of the world's most renowned photographers working today, Sally Mann. Hailed for her images of nature in the remote American south –  full of deeply layered memories and rivers that become characters of their own – and intimate portrayals of her children Jesse, Emmett and Virginia, Sally Mann creates photographs full of beauty. Beauty being something that is tied up with ephemerality, that is alive, that is in motion, something that we have to catch. As she aptly wrote in her 2015 memoir, Hold Still, “there cannot be any real beauty without the indolic whiff of decay.” Mann's photographs are therefore both painterly and fleeting. They capture people on the cusp of something else, whether that be illness or an increasingly decaying body, but she also captures the land, connecting us to the ancient and the natural worlds. Using an eight by 10 bellows camera and 19th century photographic techniques, her black and white aesthetic - that can be both dreamlike and hazy - chimes with her interest in memory and decay. Born in 1951 in Lexington, Virginia, Mann began her artistic career as a poet, but a deep dive in photography in the late 1960s whilst attending the Ansel Adams Gallery Yosemite Workshops was one of the catalysts for her photographic career. Words have always also taken center stage - she studied literature at Hollins College in Virginia in 1974 and completed an MA in creative writing the following year. She is the author of Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs and was the subject of two documentaries, Blood Ties in 1994, and What Remains in 2006. However, this year she also released the New York Times bestselling book, Art Work: The Creative Life, a part memoir, part insight into her creative life, which is a strange and lonely one; one that is so personal and insular, and one that we can often take for granted and get angry at. Yet it was reading this that really reminded me about why so many of us do what we do… Books mentioned: Sally Mann - Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs: https://www.waterstones.com/book/hold-still/sally-mann/9780241699287 Sally Mann - Art Work: The Creative Life: https://www.waterstones.com/book/art-work/sally-mann/9780241774540 Artists mentioned: Ansel Adams (1902–1984) Edward Weston (1886–1958) Cy Twombly (1928–2011) Bill Brandt (1904–1983) Robert Capa (1913–1954) Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879) Mary Ellen Mark (1940–2015) Joseph Szabo (b.1944) Lady Clementina Hawarden (1822–1865) Imogen Cunningham (1883–1976) Artworks mentioned: Sally Mann, The Perfect Tomato (1990): https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/10396 Sally Mann, Immediate Family series (1984–1992) Sally Mann, Dead Duck (1988): https://observer.co.uk/culture/photography/article/sally-mann-my-quest-to-take-the-perfect-photograph-memoir Sally Mann, Marital Trust series (1990s to the early 2000s, to be exhibited at Gagosian in 2027) The Family of Man, a 1955 exhibition at MoMA, organised by Edward Steichen: https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/2429 -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Nada Smiljanic Music by Ben Wetherfield

A locked museum. Five eccentric art teachers. One missing Salvador Dalí masterpiece. In 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 Dalí's The Persistence of Memory disappears. Each teacher has their quirks, secrets, and possible motives: Delilah Rose – the bubbly Ms. Frizzle of the art room, all glitter glue and good intentions… but is she too innocent? Solomon Ochre – the arrogant competitor, desperate to showcase his talent and prove his importance. Amber Russell – indifferent, sarcastic, observant, and maybe secretly brilliant. Madison Periwinkle – the "artfluencer", livestreaming for clout and sharing her entire teaching experience. Robert Celadon – the old school purist, obsessed with tradition, forgery, and art history. When the painting vanishes, suspicion falls on them all. With quirky detectives, unreliable security, and tangled motives, this is more than a PD event—it's a full-blown art heist mystery. Listen now to experience a story blending art history, teaching art, and true-crime-style suspense. Can you solve the mystery before the detectives do?

20. oktobrī Latvijas Nacionālajā mākslas muzejā (LNMM) tika paziņots Vijas Celmiņas fonda stipendijas pirmais saņēmējs. Mākslinieces Vijas Celmiņas klātbūtnē stipendija piešķirta Ievai Putniņai. Inta Zēgnere piedāvā reportāžu no šī svinīgā notikuma!  Vijas Celmiņas fonda stipendijai 30 000 ASV dolāru (aptuveni 25 800 eiro) apmērā pieteicās pavisam 85 mākslinieki vai mākslinieku apvienības. Lai nodrošinātu stipendijas pretendentu pieteikumu izvērtēšanu un nominantu atlasi, izveidota žūrija piecu ekspertu sastāvā. Žūrijas locekļu vidū ir viens LNMM pārstāvis un četri pieaicinātie Latvijas laikmetīgās mākslas procesu jomas eksperti. Pēc diviem gadiem tiks veidots jauns, LNMM direktora apstiprināts ekspertu grupas sastāvs.  Šī gada žūrija darbojās mākslas zinātniece Elita Ansone, "Kim?" Laikmetīgās mākslas centra dibinātāja Zane Čulkstēna, mākslinieki un kuratori Kaspars Groševs, Maija Kurševa un Inga Meldere. Žūrijas locekļi izvēlējās 11 no 85 pieteikumiem, kurus nosūtīja vērtēšanai uz ASV. Jāatzīmē, ka sākotnējā paziņojumā tika vēstīts, ka žūrija izvēlēsies un Vijas Celmiņas fonda pārstāvjiem nosūtīs piecus stipendijas pretendentus.  No 11 mākslinieku vai mākslinieku apvienību pieteikumiem Vijas Celmiņas fonda pārstāvji izvēlējās vienu stipendijas saņēmēju – Ievu Putniņu.  Skatīties video Vijas Celmiņas fonda stipendija, ko ASV dibinātais Vijas Celmiņas fonds (Vija Celmins Foundation Inc.) izveidojis sadarbībā ar LNMM un Latvijā dzimušo amerikāņu mākslinieci Viju Celmiņu, paredz ik gadu piešķirt 30 000 ASV dolāru vienam Latvijas māksliniekam vai mākslinieku apvienībai, kas apliecinājusi augstu māksliniecisko kvalitāti un aktīvi darbojas vizuālās mākslas jomā.  Stipendijas mērķis ir sniegt būtisku atbalstu radošai darbībai un veicināt mākslas mecenātismu Latvijā. Vijas Celmiņas fonds apņēmies nodrošināt šo atbalstu desmit gadu garumā – no 2025. gada oktobra līdz 2034. gada oktobrim.  "Seko savai mākslai un dodies tur, kur tā tevi ved. Radīt mākslu nozīmē tiekties pēc tā, ko nespēj pateikt vārdos," topošos pretendentus ar stipendijas izziņošanu iedvesmoja Vija Celmiņa, uzsverot vēlmi atbalstīt Latvijas māksliniekus un stiprināt viņu iespējas būt radoši brīviem arī ierobežotos apstākļos.  Par Viju Celmiņu Vija Celmiņa ir latviešu izcelsmes amerikāņu māksliniece. Celmiņa dzimusi 1938. gadā Rīgā, 1944. gadā kopā ar ģimeni devās bēgļu gaitās, 1948. gadā ieceļoja ASV un 1949. gadā apmetās Indianapolisā. Kad 1962. gadā Vija Celmiņa uzsāka mācības Kalifornijas Universitātē (Tēlotājas mākslas maģistra grāds, 1965), viņa pārcēlās uz Losandželosu, kur dzīvoja un strādāja līdz 1981. gadam. Tad devās uz Ņujorku, pārliecinoši nostiprināja savu vārdu Rietumu mākslas apritē un kļuva par vienu no ievērojamākajām mūsdienu māksliniecēm. Viņas zīmējumi, gleznas un grafikas darbi pazīstami ar okeāna virsmām, zvaigžņotām debesīm, zirnekļu tīkliem un tuksneša akmeņu attēlojumu.  Vijas Celmiņas darbi atrodas nozīmīgajās laikmetīgās mākslas kolekcijās pasaulē: Mūsdienu mākslas muzejā (MoMA), Vitnijas Amerikāņu mākslas muzejā, Metropolitēna mākslas muzejā Ņujorkā, Losandželosas Valsts mākslas muzejā, Sanfrancisko Modernās mākslas muzejā, Pompidū mākslas centrā Parīzē, Teita galerijā Londonā u. c. Latvijas Nacionālā mākslas muzeja krājumā glabājas 11 autores darbi. 

Leon Black, a billionaire financier and Dartmouth alumnus, has faced growing scrutiny over his long and lucrative association with Jeffrey Epstein — scrutiny that has extended to his alma mater. Black and his wife donated $48 million to Dartmouth College, funding the Black Family Visual Arts Center, which bears their name. However, revelations that Black paid Epstein $158 million for “tax and estate planning services” between 2012 and 2017 — years after Epstein's conviction for sex crimes — sparked outrage within the Dartmouth community. Critics argued that maintaining Black's name on campus was incompatible with the college's stated values. Epstein had also been listed as a trustee on Black's family foundation, further entangling the financier's legacy with that of the disgraced predator.The Guerrilla Girls, an anonymous feminist art collective known for holding cultural institutions accountable for gender and racial justice, publicly challenged Black over his ties to Epstein. They canceled a book deal with Phaidon Press (which is owned by Black) upon learning of his “extensive and shady dealings” with Epstein.    They also led campaigns urging MoMA to remove Black from its board, installing public posters outside the museum and rallying other artists and activists to pressure the institution to sever ties with donors linked to sexual misconduct.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Leon Black's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein spanned decades and has been a source of sustained scandal. Black, cofounder of Apollo Global Management, paid Epstein at least $158 million (and recent investigations suggest as much as $170 million) between 2012 and 2017 for tax, estate planning, and art-collection services. Black has acknowledged that working with Epstein was a “horrible mistake” and said he deeply regrets their association. Nonetheless, his payments and closeness to Epstein have invited intense scrutiny about what Black knew — or should have known — about Epstein's criminal network. Meanwhile, congressional and regulatory probes have sought to uncover the full extent of their financial entanglements and whether Black's use of Epstein's services was beyond mere professional consults.In addition to the financial scandal, Black's ties to Epstein have been tangled with serious allegations of sexual misconduct. Multiple lawsuits accuse Black of rape, including claims that in 2002, when introduced by Epstein, he assaulted a 16-year-old autistic girl in Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. One prominent lawsuit filed by Cheri Pierson accused Black of attacking her in Epstein's home; that lawsuit was later dismissed. Black has denied all criminal wrongdoing, asserting consensual relationships and rejecting claims against him as false. These overlapping allegations and financial links with Epstein have undermined Black's reputation, led to his resignation as MoMA board chair and Apollo executive, and triggered ongoing legal and reputational battles.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmaill.com

Leon Black's fall from grace at the Museum of Modern Art came in early 2021, after intense public backlash over his deep financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Reports revealed that Black had paid Epstein approximately $158 million for tax and estate advisory services, long after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. The revelations sparked outrage across New York's art world, with artists, staff, and activists demanding his removal from MoMA's board. Protesters accused the museum of moral hypocrisy for maintaining ties with a man linked to Epstein's network, arguing that his presence tainted the institution's credibility and mission. As pressure mounted from both within and outside MoMA, calls for his resignation grew louder, and donors began quietly voicing discomfort about his continued leadership.In March 2021, facing unrelenting scrutiny, Black announced that he would step down as chairman of MoMA's board and not seek re-election when his term ended. While he technically remained on the board as a trustee, his exit from the chairmanship was viewed as a forced retreat under immense public pressure. His resignation from the top spot came shortly after he also resigned as CEO of Apollo Global Management amid the same Epstein scandal. MoMA attempted to minimize the fallout by framing his departure as voluntary, but the timing — coming amid protests and reputational damage — made clear that Black's position had become untenable. His exit marked one of the most high-profile instances of cultural institutions severing ties with financiers connected to Epstein.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Leon Black's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein spanned decades and has been a source of sustained scandal. Black, cofounder of Apollo Global Management, paid Epstein at least $158 million (and recent investigations suggest as much as $170 million) between 2012 and 2017 for tax, estate planning, and art-collection services. Black has acknowledged that working with Epstein was a “horrible mistake” and said he deeply regrets their association. Nonetheless, his payments and closeness to Epstein have invited intense scrutiny about what Black knew — or should have known — about Epstein's criminal network. Meanwhile, congressional and regulatory probes have sought to uncover the full extent of their financial entanglements and whether Black's use of Epstein's services was beyond mere professional consults.In addition to the financial scandal, Black's ties to Epstein have been tangled with serious allegations of sexual misconduct. Multiple lawsuits accuse Black of rape, including claims that in 2002, when introduced by Epstein, he assaulted a 16-year-old autistic girl in Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. One prominent lawsuit filed by Cheri Pierson accused Black of attacking her in Epstein's home; that lawsuit was later dismissed. Black has denied all criminal wrongdoing, asserting consensual relationships and rejecting claims against him as false.

Leon Black's fall from grace at the Museum of Modern Art came in early 2021, after intense public backlash over his deep financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Reports revealed that Black had paid Epstein approximately $158 million for tax and estate advisory services, long after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. The revelations sparked outrage across New York's art world, with artists, staff, and activists demanding his removal from MoMA's board. Protesters accused the museum of moral hypocrisy for maintaining ties with a man linked to Epstein's network, arguing that his presence tainted the institution's credibility and mission. As pressure mounted from both within and outside MoMA, calls for his resignation grew louder, and donors began quietly voicing discomfort about his continued leadership.In March 2021, facing unrelenting scrutiny, Black announced that he would step down as chairman of MoMA's board and not seek re-election when his term ended. While he technically remained on the board as a trustee, his exit from the chairmanship was viewed as a forced retreat under immense public pressure. His resignation from the top spot came shortly after he also resigned as CEO of Apollo Global Management amid the same Epstein scandal. MoMA attempted to minimize the fallout by framing his departure as voluntary, but the timing — coming amid protests and reputational damage — made clear that Black's position had become untenable. His exit marked one of the most high-profile instances of cultural institutions severing ties with financiers connected to Epstein.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Do you like sleaze? Do you yearn for the filth of New York City in the early 80s? Do you like low budgets and gorilla film making? Do you like rubber monster puppets and buckets of blood? If, enthusiastically, you said yes to these questions, then boy HOWDY do we have a movie for you. It's the start of the spooky season and somehow Pete got the first pick. Also, somehow, he picked a movie that truly embraces the "Give Me Back" vibe. Basket Case is a masterclass in low budget filmmaking so much so the The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has curated and preserved it in their archives. What the WHAT? Do you mean THE MoMA? The Museum of Modern Art in New York City? I sure do. Basket Case is free on our lord and savior Tubi, so make sure to watch the 91 minute classic before you tune in.

The Museum of Modern Art, also known as the MoMA, in New York City, is one of the most worthwhile museums to visit while in the city. With 5+ floors and hundreds of thousands of pieces, including works by Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, and Paul Cézanne, there is something for everyone at this world-class museum.Before you go, listen to this episode covering some of the most famous art, tour options, ticket prices, and must-know tips for your museum visit.

  This week, we print big or go home. Bad at Sports cast their eyes to New York from the safe confines of the Chicago Architectural Biennial booth at EXPO 2025 to talk with the legendary Two Palms studio in the guise of Alex Slattery. If you've ever stood slack-jawed in front of a monoprint the size of a small car or a woodblock cut so large it needed its own logistics plan, chances are Two Palms was behind it. Since the 1990s, David Lasry and company have been redefining what printmaking can be—working with artists like Carroll Dunham, Elizabeth Peyton, Mel Bochner, Cecily Brown, Terry Winters, Chris Ofili, Dana Schutz, Richard Prince, Chuck Close, Jeff Koons, and yes, even channeling the ghost of Andy Warhol. From delicate gestures to total madness with ink and paper, the studio's collaborations are as unpredictable as they are radical. We talk risk, scale, failure, and discovery—the alchemy of artist–printer collaborations that make Two Palms a force in contemporary art. Along the way we wander through stories of impossible woodblocks, ink disasters turned into triumphs, and why printmaking might just be the most punk medium of them all. So pour a glass, sharpen your barens, and get ready to nerd out about the future of prints.   Two Palms https://www.twopalms.us/ @twopalmsnyc   Name-Drop  Carroll Dunham — https://www.presenhuber.com/artists/carroll-dunham#tab:slideshow Elizabeth Peyton — https://www.davidzwirner.com/artists/elizabeth-peyton Mel Bochner — http://www.melbochner.net/ Cecily Brown — https://gagosian.com/artists/cecily-brown/ Terry Winters —https://www.terrywinters.org/ Chris Ofili — https://www.davidzwirner.com/artists/chris-ofili/survey Dana Schutz — https://www.davidzwirner.com/artists/dana-schutz Richard Prince — http://www.richardprince.com/ Chuck Close — https://www.pacegallery.com/artists/chuck-close/ Jeff Koons — https://www.jeffkoons.com/ Two Palms — https://www.twopalms.us/ Marilyn Minter — https://www.twopalms.us/featured-works/marilyn-minter Stanley Whitney — https://www.twopalms.us/featured-works/stanley-whitney Ana Benaroya — https://www.twopalms.us/featured-works/ana-benaroya David Paul Lasry — https://www.nga.gov/artists/21067-david-paul-lasry Alex Slattery — https://www.instagram.com/alexslattery/ EXPO CHICAGO - https://www.expochicago.com/ Chicago Architectural Biennial 6 - https://chicagoarchitecturebiennial.org/ Institutions that love these prints: Whitney Museum of American Art — https://whitney.org/ MoMA — https://www.moma.org/ The Met — https://www.metmuseum.org/  

While Esperanza and Irwin both share their personal connections to the Art Barge, this extraordinary story speaks for itself. While Victor and Mabel's lives were devoted to Art, they couldn't have been more different. Victor was one of 11 children of Italian immigrants, Mabel an only child descending from the original settlers of our country. Victor created the education department at MOMA, while Mabel was the Art Department Chair at Rye High School. But it's their arrival to remote Lazy Point, Amagansett in the 1940's, and tugging a decommissioned naval vessel from Jersey City to the shores of Napeague Bay remains a source of wonder to this day.

In Shouting Out Loud: Lives of The Raincoats (Da Capo Press, 2025) Audrey Golden traces the history of the iconic band The Raincoats staring of the founding by Art students Gina Birch and Ana da Silva in 1977. Since the release of their seminal early records, the band has been revered by punk, queer, feminist, and indie pop artists alike.The Raincoats reimagined the nature of experimental music and DIY design, and went on to inspire Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and an entire generation of Riot Grrrl and queercore musicians. Shouting Out Loud: Lives of the Raincoats tells this story, which resonates at the heart of late twentieth century radical art, in three distinct lives of the band. In The Raincoats' first life, they recorded three full-length albums now regarded as classics and were the first punk band to play behind the Iron Curtain in Warsaw. Nearly a decade later in 1992, the band's second life took off when Kurt Cobain's love of the band catalyzed their renaissance, and The Raincoats became renowned as 'godmothers of grunge and Riot Grrrl' only to go on hiatus again in 1996. In 2001, The Raincoats reemerged in a third and ongoing iteration marked by performances in art museums such as New York's MoMA, the Pompidou Centre in Paris, and London's National Portrait Gallery. The Raincoats have and continue to be a singular phenomenon and influence for so many. Featuring exclusive interviews and never-before-seen images from The Raincoats' archive, Shouting Out Loud is the first biography of this pioneering group of women who paved the way for hundreds of artists who have followed in their footsteps and the must-have account of a legendary band that holds a vital place in twentieth and twenty-first century sonic history.

But thanks to Paola Antonelli, senior curator in the Department of Architecture and Design, MoMA exhibitions also encompass the role design has played in shaping culture and the human experience. We talk with Paola about how we can look at digital design through a historic lens, some of the most important design movements in the past 100 years, and how the creative process has evolved through these different movements. We also talk about the history of the @ symbol, why craftsmanship is necessary to experimentation, and some of the current challenges in design education. We hope you enjoy this episode which is a part of our series on design history, with upcoming episodes on typography with Jonathan Hoefler, and the history and philosophy of design with Professor Barry Katz. Paola Antonelli joined The Museum of Modern Art in 1994 and is the Museum's Senior Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design, as well as MoMA's founding Director of Research and Development. Her work investigates design in all its forms, from architecture to video games, often expanding its reach to include overlooked objects and practices. An architect trained at the Polytechnic of Milan and a pasionaria of design, Antonelli has been named one of the 25 most incisive design visionaries in the world by TIME magazine, has earned the Design Mind Smithsonian Institution's National Design Award, has been inducted in the US Art Directors Club Hall of Fame, and has received the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Artists,) the London Design Medal, and the German Design Award, among other accolades.

Embedded in the collected consciousness of popular culture, cinema, and creative charisma for the last four decades, legendary actor, filmmaker, and author Crispin Hellion Glover has danced on the elusive edge of artistic freedom, while simultaneously inhabiting an abstract atmosphere  like no one else of his generation. His almost alchemical approach to his craft is unparalleled and unpredictable, as he carefully uncovers the macabre mysteries of the human experience through characters you know and love. Having starred in such cineamtic classics as Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Back to the Future, River's Edge, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, The Doors, Hot Tub Time Machine, among several others, Glover's complex career on the big screen has truly cemeneted him as one of the greats of our time. On this episode of The Self Portrait Gospel Podcast, we sit down with Glover to chat about his most recent film, "No! YOU'RE WRONG. or Spooky Action at a Distance," which was shot entirely on 35mm film negative over the course of several years, and what seems like a lifetime since its critical conception. Followed by a short tour in select theaters to showcase the industrious intensity and intimate imagery of this spellbinding effort, Glover pulls us into his incredible imagination by swiftly displaying the timeless tones and electrifying elements of the Dada/Surrealist movement, which has undeniably influenced the actor throughout his compelling career. Set to premiere at MoMA in New York City this Thursday, October 2nd, the film will continue to run through the spooky month with more available dates on his site below. https://www.crispinglover.com

This episode, we are thrilled to be joined by the artist William Kentridge. Born in 1955 in Johannesburg, South Africa - a city where he also now lives and works - William grew up under the pall of Apartheid. This experience deeply informs his practice, which frequently questions the historical record and examines the inequities and absurdities of our world.Working across multiple media, he combines drawing, writing, film, performance, and other collaborative practices to create works of art that are grounded in history, yet maintain a space for contradiction and uncertainty.In one of his now-signature techniques, William photographs his charcoal drawings and paper collages over time, recording scenes as they evolve. Working without a script or storyboard, he plots out each animated film, preserving every addition and erasure. This is visible, for instance, in the series Self Portrait as a Coffee Pot, which William launched on the online streaming service MUBI last year. In this nine-part series, he opens the doors to his Johannesburg studio to lay bare his creative process, reflecting on culture, history, and political memory as he does so.William's genre defying talents have also led him to create operas and theatrical productions since the 1990s. Of his many productions, we've been lucky to see a few, including his 2010 production for the Metropolitan Opera of Shostakovich's The Nose, as well as his 2023 production in Paris of "Waiting for the Sibyl."William's work has been exhibited in museums around the world, including the MoMA in New York, the Albertina in Vienna, the Louvre in Paris, and the Royal Academy of Arts in London, among many others. He is also, of course, in the collections of major museums across the globe. Most recently, here in New York, William presented a solo exhibition at Hauser and Wirth titled, “A Natural History of the Studio.”William is represented by Hauser and Wirth and Goodman Galleryhttps://www.hauserwirth.com/artists/william-kentridge/https://goodman-gallery.com/artists/william-kentridgeFollow us on Instagram for episode updates and exclusive behind the scenes content https://www.instagram.com/artfromtheoutsidepodcastSome artists discussed in this episodeHenri MatisseAlberto GiacomettiJackson PollockJacques Lecoq

Today, Ceri is joined by the brilliant and boundary-breaking Pari Ehsan, artist, curator and founder of the platform Pari Dust. She weaves transcultural aesthetics, fashion, architecture and contemporary art into rich, immersive images and experiences. A former architect and polymathic image maker, she has collaborated with institutions like MoMA, Tate Modern and brands like Chanel and Loewe. KEY TAKEAWAYS Pari shows us how intuition can be a research method and how beauty, far from being frivolous, is a site of inquiry, emotion and connection. There's a generosity in Pari´s way of working, a desire not just to witness but to translate, to honour the artists she engages with, while also inviting new audiences in. Artists often undervalue their take on the world, their knowledge. The value is not just in the finished work; it's in the research and the curiosity adventures the artist goes on to create it. BEST MOMENTS “Let Pari's work be a provocation to get closer, to stay curious, to make your own strange and luminous mark on the world.” "The idea that beauty is that cookie cutter image or something that really can be replicated, I don't think that's true. Beauty can come in moments and disappear, it´s ephemeral." “It's possible to create work that is both emotionally resonant and intellectually sharp. Care can be your compass, even when you're breaking new ground.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.paridust.com https://www.instagram.com/paridust https://www.tiktok.com/@paridust HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

A highschool Drafting elective was his first real step into the design field, which he then traversed with aplomb through an MFA at SAIC, to the Venice Architecture Biennale, to MoMA, to the design team of the Obama Presidential Center. At the helm of his namesake design studio, he's built a storied, critically acclaimed career, and a powerful legacy of challenging the design canon, cultural storytelling, and educating generations of future designers.Images and more from Norman Teague on our website!Clever is hosted & produced by Amy Devers, with editing by Mark Zurawinski, production assistance from Ilana Nevins and Anouchka Stephan, and music by El Ten Eleven.SUBSCRIBE - listen to Clever on any podcast app!SIGN UP - for our Substack for news, bonus content, new episode alertsVISIT - cleverpodcast.com for transcripts, images, and 200+ more episodesSAY HI! - on Instagram & LinkedIn @cleverpodcast @amydeversSpecial thanks to our sponsors!Wix Studio is a platform built for all web creators to design, develop, and manage exceptional web projects at scale.Clever listeners get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!

​​This month Lecker is re-releasing some older episodes: here's Kitchens, a six part series from 2021 about the most important room in the home. Kitchens are inextricably linked with the woman of the house. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given that the fitted kitchen was literally designed as a workspace to fit around a woman's body. But what does this mean for women - and men - now? How are traditional gender roles built up and broken down by the kitchen itself? Michael Etheridge reflects on the distribution of domestic labour in his own home, and food writer Gemma Croffie talks about the narrow definition of accepted womanhood when it comes to domestic work. A full transcript for this episode is available on the Lecker website. The title Meal Machine comes from the companion guide to the 2011 MoMA exhibition Counter Space: Design + The Modern Kitchen: “Meal machine, experimental laboratory, status symbol, domestic prison, or the creative and spiritual heart of the home?” Lecker is written and produced by Lucy Dearlove. Thanks to my contributors on this episode: Michael Etheridge and Gemma Croffie.  You can read Gemma's piece Kitchens on the Path, which inspired this episode, in the print zine released alongside this audio series. Buy a copy now at leckerpodcast.com/kitchens. Original music was composed for the series by Jeremy Warmsley, with additional music also by Jeremy, and by Blue Dot Sessions. Research and production assistance from Nadia Mehdi. Cover collage by Stephanie Hartman. Support Lecker by becoming a paid subscriber on Patreon, Apple Podcasts and now on Substack.

Ed Ruscha is an artist whose six-decade career spans painting, photography, printmaking, film, and book art. His first artist's book, Twentysix Gasoline Stations—featuring 26 photographs taken along Route 66—marked the beginning of his ongoing exploration of the interplay between image and text, while later works such as Tulsa Slut and The End expanded this approach across different media. He draws inspiration from magazines, comics, and newspapers, experimenting with inventive materials like blackberry juice, chocolate, and gunpowder to explore the legibility and permanence of words. His work has been featured in major exhibitions including, most recently, ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN at MoMA in 2023 and LACMA in 2024, along with solo shows in Gagosian galleries worldwide. ------ Thank you to the sponsors that fuel our podcast and our team: LMNT Electrolytes https://drinklmnt.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Athletic Nicotine https://www.athleticnicotine.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Squarespace https://squarespace.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Sign up to receive Tetragrammaton Transmissions https://www.tetragrammaton.com/join-newsletter
