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.

Her brand-new book, Magic Maker: The Enchanted Path to Creativity (Penguin Life & Hay House UK, October 14, 2025), is a guide to connecting with the creative force through ritual, history, and practice. It explores how artists and visionaries such as Hilma af Klint, David Bowie, Octavia E.

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.

La quarta generazione della dinastia Marinella ha un nome: Alessandro. In questo Super Episodio del podcast, Alessandro Marinella ha raccontato il suo percorso, iniziato quando ha affiancato il padre nell'azienda di famiglia. Non un semplice "figlio di", ma un leader con una visione chiara, che si scontrò subito con l'idea di una squadra che vince e che, secondo molti, non va cambiata. Alessandro ha descritto con onestà le pressioni psicologiche dell'ereditare un brand di lusso e ha rivelato come ha saputo usare la sua formazione in economia e gestione aziendale per portare una profonda innovazione.Ha confessato il suo punto di svolta: la pandemia, un periodo in cui l'azienda ha dovuto affrontare le sfide imposte dallo smart working che metteva in crisi l'uso della cravatta, il prodotto iconico. Fu in quel momento che Alessandro ha convinto il padre a fare investimenti audaci, riorganizzando i processi aziendali e spingendo sulla digitalizzazione e la creazione di un e-commerce.Il risultato? Una crescita esplosiva del fatturato del 50%, ma soprattutto un'ottimizzazione che ha portato l'EBITDA dal 2% al 14%. Un successo costruito anche grazie all'introduzione di nuovi prodotti e all'espansione del brand in nuove categorie merceologiche, pur mantenendo l'identità artigianale e l'unicità di ogni capo, come la storica cravatta esposta al MoMA di New York.Questo episodio è un viaggio tra tradizione e futuro, tra l'incanto di un artigianato centenario e il pragmatismo dei numeri. Alessandro ha parlato del significato di essere un imprenditore e di come la sua vita sia una maratona, non uno sprint. Una storia di passione, visione e umiltà, che dimostra che il vero successo si ottiene con il duro lavoro e la capacità di sapersi reinventare, sempre.

Under nazisterna etablerades en anti-kanon med konstverk som kallades ”Entartete Kunst” - degenererad konst.Verk av modernistiska konstnärer ställdes ut i en turnerande utställning, där de hånades och förlöjligades. Samtidigt utfärdades yrkesförbud till konstnärer att arbeta om de inte följde regimens estetik.En av dem vars karriär lades i spillror var Oskar Schlemmer. Hans verk ”Bauhaustrappan” målades 1932 som en protest mot den förestående nedläggningen av Bauhaus-skolan i Dessau. Några månader senare – bara dagar efter riksdagshusbranden som gav nazisterna makt att avveckla Weimarrepublikens konstitution och därmed demokratin – stängdes en stor utställning med Schlemmers verk. Bauhaustrappan förbjöds, och Schlemmer själv belades med yrkesförbud.Hur målningen ändå hamnade på ett av världens viktigaste konstmuseer, MoMA i New York, och hur Bauhaus-idéerna spred sig trots nedläggningen av skolan genom nazisternas påtryckningar, får ni höra i detta avsnitt av Konsthistoriepodden.Support till showen http://supporter.acast.com/konsthistoriepodden.

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

Drawing upon her formal training in composition and sound engineering from Berklee College of Music, she initially explored vocal performance, classical guitar and piano before her creative trajectory shifted when a neighbour lent her a Buchla 100 modular synthesizer. Her music combines the use of modular, analogue and rare synthesizers, orchestral textures and voice.Her early self-released works, including Cows Will Eat the Weeds and Tides: Music for Meditation and Yoga (2014), were followed by Euclid (2015), her first official album with Western Vinyl, which combined structured songwriting with ambient exploration. This was succeeded by EARS (2016), which critics praised for its seamless layering of organic instrumentation and analogue synthesis to evoke feelings of awe and disorientation. Her 2017 release, The Kid, marked a conceptual leap, tracing stages of human development through richly textured, emotionally resonant compositions that bolstered her status among experimental music audiences.Kaitlyn has performed alongside artists like Hot Chip, Glass Beams, RY X, Caribou and Four Tet, composed original works for Apple, BBC Orchestra, Adult Swim, MoMA, Red Bull and others, plus her song “Stratus” was also synced in the 2023 film Priscilla Motion Picture Soundtrack. She has also collaborated with longtime inspiration Suzanne Ciani and other artists like Emile Mosseri, while exploring multidisciplinary projects through her label, Touchtheplants. On her latest album, GUSH, Kaitlyn sets her sights on aesthetics, focusing on the heightened awareness of and presence in the world where every interaction, whether with people, objects or nature, has the potential to become a moment of connection and personification.https://kaitlynaureliasmith.com/https://www.instagram.com/kaitlynaurelia/https://www.facebook.com/kaitlynaurelia/https://x.com/kaitlynaureliaWilliam J.

He has collaborated with artists including the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne, Morcheeba, Panda Bear and Sonic Boom. Alongside being a guitarist and pianist, he is a synthesis enthusiast with a particular interest in sampling and explorative sound manipulation. As a producer and engineer, he has made albums with acclaimed avant-garde musicians from composer Tullis Rennie to Mute Records artist Louis Carnell. “I'm always seeking out the most ‘out-there', experimental, risk-taking musicians I can find to work with,” he says, “to capture vibrant, detailed recordings and create three-dimensional mixes of music that might otherwise struggle to know where to begin in the studio environment.” Stokes currently lectures in Music Production at City, University of London.https://www.vokagentle.com/Catch more shows on our other podcast channels: https://www.soundonsound.com/sos-podcasts

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.

On this episode I'm joined by Michelle Kuo, Chief Curator at Large and Publisher, of the MoMA, as we discuss Jack Whitten: The Messenger, the first comprehensive retrospective dedicated to the groundbreaking art of Jack Whitten (American, 1939–2018). The exhibition showcased more than 175 works from the 1960s to the 2010s, including paintings, sculptures, rarely shown works on paper, and archival materials to explore the depth and breadth of Whitten's near six-decade career. The show was critically acclaimed, and emotionally impactful. In the episode, Kuo describes the collaborative and intensive five-year process involved in curating the exhibition, highlighting Whitten's innovative approaches to art, his engagement with technology, and the deep emotional and historical context in his work. As Kuo describes Whitten's work alongside canonical figures such as Rothko, Picasso, and Mondrian, she more importantly references the ways in which he reconfigured art history and the abstract expressionist movement with the use of new tools and techniques. Whitten's oeuvre is marked by a courageous and uncompromising vision to resist the pressures of conformity, and instead carve his own path through abstraction. This episode emphasizes Whitten's visionary nature and the lasting legacy of his art, which continues to inspire and move audiences.Thank you to our hosts WSA Podcast Studios. --------------------------------- Follow & Subscribe Website - Sign up for the Light Work newsletter https://lightworkco.com/ Instagram - Follow Light Work on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sadeolo/https://www.instagram.com/lightworkcompany/ YouTube - Subscribe to the Light Work YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/@lightworkco

​​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.

Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin

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

Esperanza and Irwin, spoke of Ben Heller during episode 81, Saving Barcelona Neck and the Grace Estate, East Hampton. Mr. Heller was part of the ownership of those properties, now in the public domain. But it's Ben Heller the Art Collector, that we speak of today. When he began seriously collecting Abstract Expressionism during the '50s, museums like MoMA largely ignored the movement. Heller rushed in headlong. “He wasn't someone to say, ‘Let me take a gamble on this small picture so that I don't really commit myself.' He committed himself a thousand percent, which is what he believed the artists were doing,” Ann Temkin, chief curator of painting and sculpture at MoMA, said in an interview. His goal was a simple one that, during his day, was radical: to collect the best art of his time. “He was unerringly spot on all the time,” said Andrew Fabricant, chief operating officer of Gagosian gallery. “The guy was the last of his kind. There's nobody else in that league.” Listening is Believing.

Jim McKelvey: Disruptive By Design

Insider Interviews

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 8, 2025 23:07


What do glassblowing, fintech, and plastic-free diapers have in common? One brilliant disruptor: Jim McKelvey. I had the privilege of interviewing Jim McKelvey, the award-winning, Amazon-beating polymath who co-founded Square (now Block) with Jack Dorsey. But calling him just a fintech entrepreneur or a computer scientist would be like calling Leonardo da Vinci just a painter. This man defies categorization in the most fascinating way possible. "I'm a guy that's had no focus for 30 years," Jim told me with characteristic humility. "I am a transport category pilot. I'm a professional glass artist with industrial designs in MoMA and the Smithsonian. I'm a computer scientist. I was on the Federal Reserve and used to vote on interest rates. That was fun. I built the hardware for Square, which we now call Block. I've started a bunch of other companies...Ugh. Look, basically, what I do is I build tools." His "lack of focus" has actually been his superpower, creating a truly unique lens on innovation, branding, and problem-solving that most specialists simply can't achieve. From Frustration to Billion-Dollar Solutions Our conversation revealed how Jim transforms everyday frustrations into industry-changing innovations. The Square story began with something as mundane as being unable to accept American Express at his glass studio. That simple pain point sparked a billion-dollar disruption that fundamentally changed mobile payments forever.  Jim shared his methodology for spotting opportunities hiding in plain sight and building products that resonate deeply with audiences. More importantly, he explained how he predicts business disasters before they happen – and his track record is impressive! Hint: his accurate predictions about Southwest Airlines and other major corporate meltdowns, made it into his book "The Innovation Stack" years before its current challenges. Then he shares how and why brand associations can make or break a company (hello, Bud Light disaster. Listen for how that motivated his current project, PwrScore.ai.) The Art of Taking Calculated Risks What struck me most about Jim was his fearless approach to high-risk, high-impact projects. "I work on projects that are right now, sort of long shots because I'm in a position where I can take a long shot," he explained. "I've made way, way more money than I ever expected. My wife and I have taken the giving pledge, so we're gonna give all the money away, but in the meantime, I can take crazy risks." That's not just talk – Jim and his wife have literally committed to giving away their entire fortune for the betterment of the world. It's a level of commitment to pro-social behavior that's both inspiring and rare in today's business landscape. Two Game-Changing Projects You Need to Know About Jim pulled back the curtain on his current ventures, and they're both fascinating for completely different reasons. First is PwrScore, a that tool that measures and assesses brand resonance and compatibility using AI to minimize research bias and enhance brand capabilities through better data. The kicker? He's giving it away for free. Yes, really. This isn't some limited trial – it's a genuinely useful tool that most companies would charge thousands for, and Jim is just handing it out because he believes it can help businesses make better decisions. PwrScore.ai The second project might sound unusual, but it could change the world: plastic-free diapers. "Diapers last for a thousand years and they become these horrible microplastics that are bad for the world, and I just thought it could be possible to do it without plastic. So I've been working on it for five years with a team. We're this close to a breakthrough..." Think about it – billions of diapers end up in landfills every year, taking centuries to decompose and creating environmental havoc. If Jim cracks this code, the sustainability impact could be massive.

Few people have contributed more to cinema and cinephilia in the last 50 years than Dave Kehr. He'd have some claim to this title solely as a major critical voice, his work remaining currency decades hence––just look at the popular Not Dave Kehr Letterboxd account for a symbol of his enduring prominence. As a film curator at the Museum of Modern Art, however, Kehr has emboldened one of the world's foremost cinema cultures with year-round programming that combines classic titles with far-flung finds. With the third edition of Silent Movie Week beginning at MoMA on July 30, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dave about their lineup, the major advancements made in digital restoration, a discussion of how exactly one puts together a series like this, and (lest you think this is all about my ego) why a presumption of mine was, in fact, incorrect.

Today, Ceri sits down with the brilliant Shezad Dawood, whose expansive practice spans painting, textile, sculpture, film and digital media. He weaves stories, realities and symbolism to create richly layered worlds, and exhibits at leading institutions worldwide, from MoMA and the ICA to the Venice Biennale, Guangzhou Triennial and Manifesta. His works are held in major collections including the Guggenheim, Tate, LACMA, the National Gallery of Canada, and the British Museum. Shezad unpacks the inspiration behind his work. He shares why he always proposes the most ambitious, even bonkers ideas, how he maximises every project and why he stays clear of social media. Whether you're early in your career or looking to push your work further, this conversation is packed with insight from playing the long game as an artist. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your artistic voice emerges from a willingness to play, to fail, and to continuously reimagine your practice. It's less about perfection, and more about persistent, passionate inquiry. The intersection of artistic vision and community engagement is where the real magic happens. Shezad's approach to public art is revolutionary: it's not about imposing a vision, but creating a generous, collaborative dialogue. Your intuition is what will lead you to the right place. BEST MOMENTS "He was a really tough critic and teacher who would question every brush mark. It just gave me this real sort of critical kind of eye and voice on my own work.” “Stay with your practice. Keep developing, keep working at it. Don't be easily dissuaded, deterred, distracted or pushed into an avenue you don't want to go down." “Engage with people. You might have a coffee with somebody, they say something, and you think “Oh, that´s the missing thing that I was sort of looking for.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://shezaddawood.com PODCAST 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 replay from VISIONS Summit: NYC featuring YouTuber and architect Dami Lee.From the stage of VISIONS Summit at MoMA, Dami Lee reveals why the most chaotic spaces often teach us the most about what it means to be human. As a licensed architect turned YouTube storyteller with over 200 million views, she's discovered that making architecture approachable isn't about simplifying complexity, it's about finding the human stories embedded in our built environment. Through her exploration of places like Kowloon Walled City, Dami demonstrates how the most profound spaces emerge not from master plans but from organic human adaptation, creating connections and meaning through what philosophers call "rhizomic growth."When a Deeper Connection Is Better Than a Wider OneKey takeaways:Human framing trumps technical perfection: No matter how many hours spent making content beautiful or technically accurate, none of it matters without taking time to make it human and frame architecture from a human angle.Personal investment drives authentic storytelling: Topics perform best when team members have genuine personal connections to the subject matter, leading to deeper research and more compelling narratives.Rhizomic processes create unexpected connections: Non-linear, seemingly inefficient creative processes allow for serendipitous discoveries and cross-categorical insights that wouldn't emerge through structured approaches.Extremes ignite curiosity: Audiences gravitate toward architectural stories that push boundaries—like the world's densest city—because extremes reveal fundamental truths about human behavior and adaptation.Associated Links:Check out Dami Lee on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

This strategic transition, including two new $66 million dredgers and enhanced processing capacity, is expected to increase production by 20% while eliminating long-standing capacity constraints. Managing Director Tom Hickey, who brings extensive natural resources experience from his tenure at Tullow Oil, describes this as "the final major investment required to secure the mine's long-term future."Despite challenging market conditions characterized by oversupply from Chinese concentrate producers, Kenmare maintains exceptional operational resilience. The company achieved 40% EBITDA margins in 2024, demonstrating the effectiveness of its cost optimization strategies and premium product positioning. Market consolidation works in Kenmare's favor, with one customer noting their supplier base contracted from eight to two over seven years, highlighting the value of established, reliable producers.The company's ESG credentials provide additional competitive advantages, with 95% renewable energy usage delivering products with exceptionally low carbon footprints. This positioning becomes increasingly valuable as industrial customers focus on supply chain sustainability.Post-capex completion in 2-3 years, Kenmare expects to generate substantial free cash flow, supporting dividend payments and potential shareholder returns. With strong government relationships in Mozambique and a conservative balance sheet carrying net debt of $80-85 million, the company offers investors exposure to a multi-generational asset in the essential materials sector during a cyclical market trough.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kenmare-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode Ceri is joined by the incomparable John Smith—artist-filmmaker, mischievous narrator, cinematic magician. Over the past five decades, John has created more than 60 award-winning films, videos and installations that have screened in cinemas and museums around the world, from MoMA in New York to Tate Modern, and earned him honours including the Jarman Award and a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for Artists. Often funny, always astute, his work reshapes how we see and hear the world. In this conversation, John shares how growing up in East London in the 50s and 60s fuelled his anti-authoritarian streak, how he stumbled into art school via psychedelic paintings and audacity, and how humour became his Trojan horse for smuggling serious ideas into unsuspecting minds. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being rebellious is fuel for creativity. Humour is a great way to break down barriers, including artistic ones. When you connect with your audience your confidence and creativity grows. Art is about communication. Your old work can resonate with new audiences, so use it. Working through illness, if you can physically do it, is hard but rewarding. Be true to yourself in your work. Integrity beats commercialism. At times you will work within limitations, embrace those situations. You will learn a lot. BEST MOMENTS “The power of language and storytelling is so strong that when we are told something we can't help but half believe it.” “That film was made in the context of people making work, which was anti illusionistic, was which had its intention to undermine the illusion of cinema and make us realise that that that cinema is manipulating us.” “Humour absolutely is a survival mechanism.” “The market is a fickle beast…so, you have to make work you love, regardless.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://johnsmithfilms.com https://www.instagram.com/theotherjohnsmith PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 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.

Joan Jonas, now 88, has been a celebrated artist since the late 1960s. But it wasn't until 2024 that she received her crowning recognition in the U.S., when New York's Museum of Modern Art organized a major retrospective of her work. The arts icon splits her time between a Soho loft in NYC, and the "magical landscape" of Cape Breton, where she can be by her muse: the ocean. As she tells IDEAS producer Mary Lynk, "We come from the sea. It's not a memory. It's a feeling. It's in our DNA."Part of Jonas' MoMA retrospective called Moving Off the Land II has been acquired by the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. The exhibit will tour across Canada this summer, beginning in Cape Breton.

Ep. 330: David Schwartz on A Theater Near You series at MoMA + Nitrate Picture Show 2025 Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The repertory cinemas of New York were a formative influence on me and so I was excited to see a new film series at the Museum of Modern Art that surveys their programming, called A Theater Near You. David Schwartz, the former chief curator at the Museum of the Moving Image, guest-programmed the series, and he joins the podcast to talk about how the specific films in the program capture the particular flavors of New York cinemas past, such as the Bleecker Street Cinema, the Public, and the pioneering Cinema 16, brainchild of New York Film Festival co-founder Amos Vogel. Then on the second half of our chat, Schwartz talks about the latest Nitrate Picture Show at the George Eastman Museum, the festival that shows exclusively nitrate prints, including La Ronde, The Destroyers of Our Gardens, and more. “A Theater Near You” runs through July 11 at the Museum of Modern Art.

In this conversation, we talk about openness as a strategy, the role of listening in shaping institutions, and what it means to make space for experimentation in times of uncertainty.Jessica shares how porosity, risk, and care shape her curatorial and executive approach—from expanding access beyond traditional art forms to launching chef residencies and community media programs at the ICA. We discuss the influence of her time at MoMA and the Baltimore Museum of Art, the power of contemporary art to respond to crisis, and why joy and curiosity remain central to her vision.Topics Covered:What leadership looks like through the lens of listeningExpanding access to arts beyond galleries and into kitchens and podcastsNavigating risk and limitation in an age of shrinking arts fundingThe evolving responsibility of cultural institutionsThe importance of reflection, care, and creative openness
