Most cultural institutions know games matter. Very few know what to do about it. Kristian Volsing is one of the people who figured it out — and built the path in real time.As part of the V&A's contemporary design team, Kristian co-curated Design/Play/Disrupt, one of the most significant museum exhibitions ever dedicated to game design. He navigated studio NDAs, convinced the National Gallery of Art to lend a Magritte for a game show, and flew a colleague to Kyoto — where Nintendo showed her exactly one meeting room.In this conversation, we go deep on what it actually takes to build a sustainable games program inside a cultural institution: why live events beat collection-building as a starting point, how to work with an industry that guards its IP fiercely, and what experimental game designers actually need from institutions like yours. If you're a champion inside an organization who sees the opportunity but doesn't yet have the authority to act on it — this one is for you.(00:00) - Why Cultural Institutions Can't Afford to Ignore Games Anymore (01:36) - Kristian Volsing's Path From Film Student to V&A Curator (05:27) - How a New Director Opened the Door for Digital Design at the V&A (09:20) - Inside Design/Play/Disrupt: Why Depth Beats the "50 Games on a Wall" Approach (17:32) - Nintendo, NDAs, and What It Actually Takes to Partner With Game Studios (27:55) - The Hard Truth About Collecting and Preserving Digital Work (40:50) - Where Your Institution Should Start: Practical Advice From Someone Who Built the Path For more insights, signup for my newsletter.Jamin Warren founded Gameplayarts, an advisory that helps museums and cultural organizations engage with the world of gaming.

®Nel giugno del 1968 viene allestita al MoMA di New York la mostra “Christo wraps the museum: scale models, photomontages, and drawings for a non-event”. L'esposizione presenta un progetto complesso e mai realizzato, pensato da Christo e Jeanne-Claude per il MoMa. Il direttore William S. Rubin decide di mostrare i lavori preparatori e un ingrandimento del fotomontaggio della facciata del museo impacchettata, aprendo un dibattito sul valore storico-artistico dei progetti non realizzati. Una questione che ad oggi non è ancora esaurita e che ha ispirato gli autori de L'opera che non c'è. Arte e progetti non realizzati tra il XX e il XI secolo volume appena pubblicato da Postmedia Books e curato da Elisabetta Modena e Marco Scotti. Cosa impedisce la realizzazione di un'opera e secondo quali criteri può essere invece giudicata conclusa e significativa? Ma, soprattutto, perché ha senso parlarne? Ospiti: Elisabetta Modena, ricercatrice in Storia dell'arte contemporanea all'Università IULM di Milano, co-fondatrice di MoRE, Museo e archivio digitale dedicato a progetti di arte contemporanea non realizzati. Marco Scotti, assegnista di ricerca presso l'Università IUAV di Venezia, dove attualmente insegna Storia del design, cofondatore di MoRE. Le opere di Robert Rauschenberg sono, infine, protagoniste dell'inserto della settimana. Per festeggiare i 100 dalla nascita del grande artista americano, la Fondazione Rolla di Bruzella presenta otto opere dalla collezione che documentano lo stretto rapporto del pittore e grafico esponente della Pop-Art con la fotografia. Emanuela Burgazzoli l'ha visitata insieme a Rosella Rolla.Prima emissione: 25 gennaio 2026

Hey there -- if you subscribed to the Twofivesix podcast, we've made some changes to our focus. I'm working with museums, collections, galleries, and cultural orgs on the same big problems I used to help corporate clients with. Hope you enjoy! What does it actually take to exhibit game-based art in a museum? Beyond the romantic notion of "games as art" lies a complex reality of technical requirements, development timelines, and institutional infrastructure that most cultural organizations simply aren't prepared for.Today, I'm speaking with Theo Triantafyllidis, an artist who builds what he calls "performative systems where natural and synthetic intelligences rehearse their coexistence." Working with games, live simulations, performances, and installations, Theo creates darkly playful procedural worlds that turn phenomena like ecological collapse and networked desire into experiences that can be felt rather than verbally explained.Theo has exhibited at major institutions including the Whitney Museum, Centre Pompidou, and was part of the Venice Biennale's Hyper Pavilion. His work ranges from Pastoral, an intimate anti-game about a muscular orc running through an infinite hayfield, to Feral Metaverse, an ambitious eight-player multiplayer game with a custom medieval catapult rig that's been in development for over three years.In this conversation, we go deep on the practical realities of exhibiting interactive work: Why IT staff aren't the same as technical infrastructure. How institutions fund physical installations but not digital development, or vice versa. Why a game that takes two weeks to build might tour internationally while a three-year project struggles to find the right venue. And what it means when audiences bring their player psychology into the gallery space—that instinct to test boundaries and break systems that makes games fundamentally different from other art forms.If you're a cultural institution thinking about game-based programming, an artist navigating this landscape, or simply curious about what happens when the art world meets interactive media, this conversation offers a rare, unvarnished look at what it really takes to do this work well.(00:00) - The Infrastructure Gap: Why Museums Can't Show Interactive Work (00:43) - Theo Triantafyllidis on Building Performative Systems (01:30) - Beyond IT: What Game-Based Art Actually Requires (03:55) - The Funding Paradox: Digital vs. Physical Production (08:59) - Technical Realities: Maintenance, Testing, and Player Psychology (15:39) - Case Studies: From Two-Week Prototypes to Three-Year Developments (25:41) - Building Institutional Literacy for Game-Based Practice For more insights, signup for my newsletter.Jamin Warren founded Gameplayarts, an advisory that helps museums and cultural organizations engage with the world of gaming.

Designer, craftsman, artist and educator, Norman Teague, grew up in Chicago absorbing the sounds, colors, textures and vibes of his “hood,” fancy cars, and Auntie Aretha's painting. 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!Special thanks to our sponsor: Wix Studio is a platform built for all web creators to design, develop, and manage exceptional web projects at scale.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.

In this episode 113, the Occupational Philosophers chat with the wonderfully curious David Bramwell - a writer, broadcaster, performer and professional seeker. He's the author of The Number 9 Bus to Utopia, a philosophical travel memoir, in which he went looking for different and potentially better ways of living. He's presented many programmes for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4 on subjects ranging from Ivor Cutler, Ken Campbell and time travel, to the art of public speaking. As a podcaster, he produces and presents Adventures in Nutopia and The Ways of Water, and has co-hosted other popular podcasts including, Odditorium, Watling Street with author John Higgs, and Seeker! The Ken Campbell Podcast with Daisy Campbell. In 2020 his book The Cult of Water was published, exploring belief and rituals, and then in 2023 he self-published The Singalong-A-Wicker-Man Scrapbook. Since 2004 he has been hosting Brighton's Catalyst Club, a monthly salon at which three guest speakers from all walks of life take to the stage to talk about their passions. As a performer, he has toured several solo shows and performed at Soho Theatre, Somerset House, Tate St Ives, TEDx, Idler Academy, MOMA, UK festivals, and the Lowry Theatre. And finally there's Oddfellow's Casino, an eclectic band project that blends spoken word, music and storytelling, and who are approaching their 25th anniversary this year. In this episode they explore a wide range of topic including: How to use Brexit to dodge home DIY and tasks The Singalong-a-Wicker-Man show! Panpsychism and consciousness (Does Broccoli dream of sheep?) How do tomatoes feel about being eaten? Are tomatoes controlling us? What sparked David's curiosity superpower? What fashion items are best for a philosophical data analyst? What lessons David learned on ‘The Number 9 Bus to Utopia' How alternative communities show great creativity and imagination What the everyday interests of everyday people can tell us about curiosity and being human How we might engage better with people who have different views to ourselves What is the official name for a ‘Bum Reader'? And as ever, enjoy the Thought Experiment …this time it's: Where is this bus going?

In this episode, I speak with Pauline Vermare, curator of Photography at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. Pauline is a photography historian, curator, and writer who previously worked at MoMA, the International Center of Photography (ICP), and as Curatorial Director at Magnum Photos. She shares how her path through these institutions shaped her vision, and what it means to work with photography inside a large encyclopedic museum like the Brooklyn Museum.The conversation moves beyond career highlights into deeper territory: photography as a tool for representation, memory, conflict, and healing. Pauline reflects on her upbringing between France, Japan, and Hong Kong, the influence of her father, her long-standing connection to Japan, and her profound admiration for photographers such as Saul Leiter. She also speaks about museums as places of joy, agency, and responsibility, especially in times of political and social uncertainty.This episode is an intimate and thoughtful exploration of lineage, curiosity, and a central question that runs through Pauline's work: what can photography do; for individuals, for communities, and for the world at large?Want to learn directly from international photographers? Each month, I host a live online masterclass with an international photographer who dives deep into a subject they have truly mastered. These sessions include space for personal questions and honest conversations about both the highs and lows of a photographic career. You can explore upcoming masterclasses and book your ticket here.
James Carman is inspired by the worldly and otherworldly. He creates content that looks behind the veil of consensual reality, examining what most are ready to ignore. His art is for the curious and brave. James is an accomplished and award-winning filmmaker and cinematographer. In his feature length documentary, ‘The Hidden Hand; Alien Contact and the Government Cover-up, James Carman reveals himself to be a keen observer who sees people and events more deeply than most. This skill is on full display in his graphic novel ‘HyperParanøid: An Ascension Story.' ‘The Hidden Hand; Alien Contact and the Government Cover-up' explores the phenomena of Alien Contact, has won 5 awards and is distributed internationally. He has also shot many feature films that were screened in festivals and theaters worldwide: (Sundance, Cannes, Berlin, and Toronto film festivals.) Five films he shot were shown at the MoMA retrospective of Bruce LaBruce. He shot 10 films about sexual criminals for Shu Lea Cheang's ‘3x3x6.' They were the centerpiece of the Taiwan Pavilion at the 2019 Venice Biennale. In 2023, he produced his most recent short, 'Bitter Brownies', which has won over 100 awards and he has just won an award for the feature, ‘Set Me Free.' In creating HyperParanoid, James made use of all of his skills as an award-winning director and script writer together with Jaf Farkas, who brought James' vision to life. Together they wove a futuristic, dystopian sci-fi tale rich in love, cruelty and magic, “a stark interpretation of the world we already live in,” which uniquely mixes humor, prophetic story telling, and music. As a composer, James is known to burst into song around his close friends – sometimes he'a encouraged to stay and sing, and at other times, he's excused from the premises. His uplifting and quirky humor shines through the inventive, archetypal and creative playground of HyperParanøid.

New Yorker Jane August is making it her mission to visit every museum in New York. Not just the Met, or MoMA, but museums spread throughout the five boroughs, including smaller, less appreciated museums on more niche subjects. August discusses her project, and listeners share their favorite lesser-known museum in the city.
In this episode of She's All Over the Place, I had the wonderful opportunity to sit and chat with the producer, Steven Lawrence, to explore The Long Way Home: Remastered and Expanded (2026) Michael Apted's long-lost documentary about Soviet underground rock legend Boris Grebenshchikov and his extraordinary 1988 journey from Leningrad to the West during the early days of Glasnost. Filmed at a moment of rare optimism inside the USSR, the documentary follows Grebenshchikov as he records an album with Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), alongside Annie Lennox, Chrissie Hynde, Ray Cooper, and Crosby, Stills & Nash, becoming one of the first Soviet musicians to collaborate openly with Western rock stars. Remastered in 4K with new 5.1 sound and expanded with a newly created epilogue, the film now brings Boris's story up to the present: his disillusionment with post-Soviet Russia, his outspoken opposition to Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine, and his eventual exile from his homeland. We discuss the film's disappearance for more than three decades, its rediscovery through MoMA's Film Preservation Festival, and why The Long Way Home now feels less like a period piece and more like a warning, a memory, and a testament to the enduring power of music to resist censorship and tyranny.

What is it about architecture that celebrates longevity? The world's most famous architect, Frank Gehry, was actively at work until his death at age 96, finishing his Guggenheim Museum in Abu Dhabi and still designing the greatest works of his career. Masters Frank Lloyd Wright and Phillip Johnson also worked into their 90s and were even more prolific than Gehry. In this special series, Century Lives introduces Victoria Newhouse, a renowned architectural historian. At age 87, Victoria chats with her contemporaries: the late Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Moshe Safdie, Peter Eisenman, and Raj Rewal—all renowned architects and all in their 80s and 90s. In this episode, Victoria Newhouse talks with 90-year-old Raj Rewal: one of the most distinguished Indian architects of all time. He is the architect of Delhi's most important Modern buildings and with many masterpieces published in the History of World Architecture. His work, recently displayed at an exhibition of Post-Colonial architecture at MoMA, is displayed in the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale. Raj talks about his latest creative passion – miniature paintings and drawings inspired by historical Indian works of art.
Modern art has always been a battleground — and the highly influential Museum of Modern Art has been partisan since its inception. Architectural historian Patricio Del Real discusses two differing political visions of modernism and modern architecture: one rooted in the left, and associated with figures such as Communist muralist Diego Rivera, and the other on the right, represented by the architect and fascist sympathizer Philip Johnson. He weighs in on the role of MoMa in promoting a view of modernism in Latin America, stripped of its radical politics and racial fusions, and radiating American power and hegemony.

Hay tres cosas que me apasionan: las rarezas, las buenas historias y, sobre todo, retaros. Hoy no os voy a hablar de los coches de siempre. Hoy vamos a recorrer una línea temporal desde la posguerra hasta la era pop de los 60 para rescatar del olvido a 10 marcas que intentaron cambiar la historia del automóvil y se quedaron en el camino. Desde las ruinas de 1946 hasta el auge económico, estas son las historias de ingenieros soñadores, conspiraciones industriales y revoluciones técnicas. 1. 1946: CISITALIA y la belleza salvadora En una Turín de posguerra, Piero Dusio decidió apostar por la estética. Contrató a Battista "Pinin" Farina (quien luego cambiaría legalmente su apellido a Pininfarina por decreto presidencial) para crear el 202 GT. Este coche inauguró la línea "pontón", integrando aletas y faros en una forma fluida. Fue tan impactante que el MoMA de Nueva York lo etiquetó como "escultura rodante". 2. 1947: JOWETT, la ingeniería inglesa adelantada Mientras otros hacían "ladrillos" con ruedas, Jowett lanzó el Javelin: aerodinámico y con motor bóxer de aluminio, décadas antes que Subaru. Un coche brillante condenado por un error de gestión: su proveedor de carrocerías fue comprado por Ford, dejándoles sin piel de un día para otro. 3. 1947: BRISTOL, de bombarderos a coches de lujo Tras la guerra, la Bristol Aeroplane Company necesitaba recolocar a sus ingenieros. Usaron planos de BMW traídos como reparación de guerra para hacer coches de lujo. La marca sobrevivió décadas gracias a Tony Crook, un dueño excéntrico que se negaba a vender coches a quien consideraba "vulgar". 4. 1947: OSCA, los verdaderos Maserati Cuando los hermanos Maserati terminaron su contrato con los nuevos dueños de su propia marca, se marcharon para fundar OSCA. Querían hacer carreras puras. Su gran hazaña fue vencer en las 12 Horas de Sebring de 1954 con un pequeño motor de 1.5 litros, derrotando a los gigantescos Ferrari y Lancia. David contra Goliat. 5. 1954: PANHARD y la obsesión por el aluminio Una de las marcas más antiguas del mundo apostó todo a la eficiencia con el Dyna Z, una berlina de seis plazas hecha enteramente de aluminio y con motor bicilíndrico. Un error de cálculo financiero en los costes del material hizo que el coche fuera insostenible, acabando la marca absorbida por Citroën. 6. 1954: BORGWARD, ¿conspiración o quiebra? Eran el segundo fabricante de Alemania y su modelo Isabella era un icono. Pero en 1961 sufrieron una quiebra repentina rodeada de misterio y rumores de presión por parte de sus rivales. Lo irónico es que, al liquidar la empresa, sobró dinero. ¿Se mató a una marca solvente por miedo a su potencial? 7. 1958: ALVIS, el caballero discreto Alvis fabricaba coches como trajes a medida. Con una ingeniería robusta heredada de vehículos militares, sus coches como el TD21 eran elegantes y capaces de cruzar continentes. No quebraron estrepitosamente, simplemente se desvanecieron al ser absorbidos por Rover. 8. 1958: STANGUELLINI, la magia de la Fórmula Junior Desde Módena, Vittorio Stanguellini creó máquinas ganadoras basadas en Fiat y fue clave en la Fórmula Junior. Sin embargo, su insistencia en mantener el motor delantero cuando los ingleses (Lotus, Cooper) pasaron al motor trasero, les dejó obsoletos en apenas dos años. 9. 1963: ATS, la revuelta contra Ferrari Tras la famosa "Revolución de Palacio" donde Enzo Ferrari despidió a su cúpula técnica, los ingenieros fundaron ATS por pura venganza. Crearon el ATS 2500 GT, un deportivo de motor central V8 técnicamente superior, pero el proyecto fracasó por falta de dinero y peleas internas. 10. 1964: GLAS, del microcoche al V8 Hans Glas pasó del pequeño Goggomobil a querer hacer los mejores coches del mundo con el Glas 2600 V8, apodado el "Glaserati". BMW vio la oportunidad y compró la marca, no por sus coches, sino para quedarse con sus patentes y su fábrica de Dingolfing, vital para la expansión de BMW. Estas marcas cayeron por arrogancia, conspiraciones o pureza técnica, pero todas merecen ser recordadas. ¡Espero que disfrutéis de estas historias tanto como yo!

Care More Be Better: Social Impact, Sustainability + Regeneration Now
Cities are often built as uncomfortable concrete jungles completely disconnected from nature, and most of them rapidly deplete in just a few years. Our urban areas do not have to be designed this way, and they can be completely transformed through regenerative architecture. Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Kevin Kennon, CEO of Beyond Zero, who shares how his zero-carbon luxury eco-resorts help heal humanity's relationship with nature while providing sustainable living systems for everyone. He explains how reconciling high-end development with ecological stewardship can give birth to sustainable cities with a circular economy and cultural continuity. Kevin also explores the role of architects in shaping forth a new era of sustainable design and the right way to use AI tools in making this dream a reality. COMPLETE BLOG & TRANSCRIPT: https://caremorebebetter.com/designing-for-humanity-regenerative-architecture-in-the-age-of-ai-with-kevin-kennon/ About Guest: Kevin Kennon is an internationally acclaimed architect with over 40 years of experience driving innovation in sustainable and human-centered design.

What a wonderful podcast I had with Marilou Schultz. She is a master weaver and a math teacher who grew up in Leupp, Arizona on the Navajo Nation.She has been teaching her entire life and is justs now going into weaving full-time. There's good reason for that too. You see, Marilou's weavings are very in demand. She has a waitlist that includes the Basel and MoMA collections. What she has done is interpreted various computer chips through the lens of a traditional Diné weaver. It's just an amazing story. She got a commissioned by Intel to do a rendition of the Pentium chip in 1994. She's a fourth generation Navajo Weaver and she uses her background in mathematics to create these incredible textiles. I was fortunate enough to get one of these ordered a year ago, and she brought it to me today. I got to see it for the first time during this podcast and you can see my eyes light up as she unravels this masterpiece.I highly recommend that you watch this on YouTube because you will be able to see her interact with the textile, as well see her tell her story, which is quite remarkable. This is one of my favorite podcasts that I've done. I hope you enjoy it. This is master Diné weaver, Marilou Schultz on the Art Dealer Diaries Podcast.
There was a time when a movie title sequence was just the moment you grabbed your popcorn and waited for the real show to start. But in the mid-90s and early 2000's, that changed forever with films like Seven and shows like Mad Men and Stranger Things. The title sequence became a prologue—a metaphor for the film itself. This is a preview of a premium episode. To listen to the full interview, head over to our Substack:https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/mikon-van-gastel Our guest today, Mikon Van Gastel, was right there in the trenches of that revolution. After a formative and intense education at the Cranbrook Academy of Art—where the only teachers were artists in residence and your toughest critics were your peers—Mikon cut his teeth at the legendary studio Imaginary Forces. Today, Mikon is the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Sibling Rivalry, a hybrid brand studio and production company he founded with his best friend, Joe Wright. They've built a reputation for work that blurs the lines between branding, storytelling, and architecture.z In this episode, we explore the sheer scale of modern experience design. Mikon takes us behind the scenes of his work for the Sphere in Las Vegas—a venue he calls the “Champions League of content creation”. We discuss how to design for shared emotion, balancing the “collective gasp” of a 20,000-person audience with moments of intimate connection. We also dig into the business of creativity. Mikon opens up about the “sleepless nights” of running an agency in a project-based economy and how he refuses to transition fully into a management role, preferring to write treatments and stay hands-on with the work on nights and weekends. Whether you are designing software interfaces or directing films, Mikon's philosophy on collaboration and stripping away the noise to serve the core idea is something we can all learn from. Bio Mikon van Gastel is Director, CEO, and Co-Founder of creative agency Sibling Rivalry, based in New York and Miami. Originally from Holland, he earned his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art before launching his career at Imaginary Forces, where he designed award-winning title sequences for feature films and theatrical trailers. Van Gastel's work spans multiple disciplines, with notable projects in architecture and experience design including MoMA's interactive signage system, BMW World in Munich, the digital displays at Santiago Calatrava's World Trade Center Oculus, and most recently, immersive films for the world's first keynote inside The Sphere in Las Vegas. He also created a VR series with renowned curator Paola Antonelli. He continues to direct commercial campaigns and product launches for major brands including Apple TV+, Ford, Google, Target, BVLGARI, and Vogue, working with high-profile talent such as Drake, Taylor Swift, Lionel Messi, and Lewis Hamilton. Van Gastel speaks internationally about design integration and emerging industry trends at cultural and educational institutions worldwide. *** This is a premium episode on Design Better.

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.

בין קריקטוריסט לפרסומאי – הדרך שלא תוכננה גדעון עמיחי לא תכנן להיות אחד מאנשי הפרסום הבולטים בישראל. הוא אפילו ניסה להוכיח למורים שלו בבצלאל שהוא לא יהיה איש פרסום. נקודת ההתחלה שלו הייתה בכלל כקריקטוריסט, והדרך משם אל מרכז הבמה של עולם הפרסום לא הייתה מסלול מתוכנן מראש, אלא תנועה מתמשכת של ניסוי, טעייה והקשבה פנימית. לאורך כל הדרך, מה שהוביל אותו שוב ושוב היה הניסיון להיות נאמן לתשוקה שלו — לעשות את מה שעושה לו טוב באמת, וגם, ואולי בעיקר, להבין מה לא. המנוע שלו, כפי שהוא מעיד על עצמו, הוא היכולת להציב מטרות שנראות כמעט בלתי אפשריות - ואז ללכת צעד אחר צעד עד שהן מתגשמות. כשמשוחחים עם גדעון ברור כשמש שמדברים עם יזם - אולי לא של סטארטאפ טכנולוגי, אלא של חייו. רעיונות של מיינדסט צומח, יצירתיות, התמדה והיכולת להמציא את עצמך מחדש שוב ושוב הפכו עבורו לא רק לכלים מקצועיים אלא לדרך חיים; דרך שמובילה אותו לבחור פעם אחר פעם במסלול הלא־מובן־מאליו וליצור את ה‘כן' הבא שלו. הפעם הראשונה שמישהו אמר “כן” האהבה לציור מתחילה אצלו מאוד מוקדם. גדעון גדל בבית קטן בחולון, עם פערי גיל גדולים בין האחים, ואת המקום הפרטי שלו הוא בונה מבפנים - דרך ציור וספורט. במחברות הוא מצייר מכוניות ספורט, מכיר שמות של מותגים בגיל ארבע־חמש, וכילד, אחד הציורים שלו אפילו מתפרסם בטלוויזיה. תיכון, אחרי תקופה שציורים שלו פורסמו במעריב לנוער, הוא מחליט לקפוץ מדרגה: לא עוד “מעריב לנוער” – אלא “מעריב” של הגדולים. הוא מביא קריקטורה למערכת “מעריב ספורט”, והציור מתפרסם. ואז מתחיל המבחן האמיתי. במשך עונה שלמה, 29 שבתות ברצף, הוא מצייר קריקטורה, עולה על קו 92, משאיר במערכת, וביום ראשון בורח מבית הספר כדי לראות אם זה נכנס. שבוע אחרי שבוע שום דבר לא מתפרסם. אף אחד לא אומר לו שהוא במבחן. אף אחד לא מבטיח לו שזה ישתלם. וגם בבית מתחילים לשאול למה הוא ממשיך. והוא פשוט ממשיך. בסוף העונה קוראים לו למערכת ואומרים לו: “רצינו לראות שאתה מסוגל להחזיק את זה לאורך כל העונה. מעכשיו אתה הקריקטוריסט של מעריב”. בדיעבד, קל לראות כאן את מה שמכנים היום GRIT - החיבור בין תשוקה עמוקה לבין היכולת להתמיד לאורך זמן גם בלי לדעת אם ומתי יגיע הכן. לא, לא, לא, לא, לא – ואז כן רק הרבה שנים אחר כך, אחרי לימודי מנהל עסקים וההחלטה לפתוח משרד משלו, הוא מבין שזו לא רק תכונה אלא שיטה. החיים מלאים ברצפים של “לא”. לא אחד. לא שניים. לפעמים חמישה, שישה, שבעה. אבל כמעט תמיד, בתוך הלא הזה, מתחבא גם “אבל”. והאבל הזה הוא הפתח. הוא לא תופס “לא” כסוף פסוק, אלא כנקודת מעבר. כחומר גלם לחשיבה. כהזמנה לשאול איך כן. וככל שהמשימה נראית פחות סבירה ויותר מורכבת - כך הפוטנציאל של ההצלחה שלה גדול יותר. החלום על ה־New Yorker והעוצמה שב־“לא” אחרי ההצלחות במעריב, גדעון מתקבל לבצלאל נחוש להיות קריקטוריסט - גם כשאומרים לו שיש לו יכולות רחבות הרבה יותר. הוא נוסע לחילופי סטודנטים בניו יורק, פוגש שם את אחד הקריקטוריסטים של ה־New Yorker, ושומע ממנו משפט חד: “אין סיכוי שזה יקרה”. באותו רגע, החלום מתחדד. זה בדיוק הדבר היחיד שהוא רוצה. במשך שנה שלמה הוא שולח עשרות קריקטורות - שוב ושוב - ומקבל שוב ושוב “לא”. בסוף הוא חוזר לישראל, מסיים את בצלאל עם פרויקט גמר של עשרה ציורים מצטיינים, והחלום על הניו יורקר נכנס למגירה. שלוש שנים אחר כך, כשהוא כבר בתוך עולם הפרסום, הוא נשלח שוב לניו יורק מטעם העבודה. רגע לפני הטיסה הוא לוקח איתו במקרה את אותה מעטפה עם ציורי הגמר. הפעם - שני ציורים נקנים על ידי ה־New Yorker. שנה אחר כך הם מתפרסמים. אותם ציורים. אותו יוצר. נסיבות אחרות לגמרי. כאילו משהו שהיה מוכן כבר מזמן פשוט חיכה לרגע הנכון שלו. שנים אחר כך, הספר שלו החל להימכר בחנות של ה־MoMA בניו יורק. גם זה היה יעד שהוא סימן לעצמו מראש - כזה שנשמע לרבים סביבו לא ריאלי, כמעט מנותק מהמציאות. ושוב, כמו עם ה־New Yorker, הוא לא התווכח עם מי שאמר שזה לא אפשרי. הוא פשוט המשיך לעבוד. עוד מטרה שנראתה רחוקה, ועוד “כן” שנולד מתוך הרבה מאוד “לא” בדרך. יצירתיות כיתרון לא הוגן גדעון מתאר יצירתיות כ“יתרון לא הוגן”. כחיבור של שני דברים שלא אמורים להתחבר – כדי ליצור דבר שלישי. היצירתיות תמיד הייתה שם, אבל רק אחרי ה־MBA היא מקבלת תפקיד חדש. מהרגע שהוא מתחיל לדבר עם מנכ”לים בשפה של שווי מותג, קטגוריה, מנהיגות שוק וערך - היצירתיות הופכת מכלי של ביטוי לכלי שמזיז מציאות. הוא לומד לתרגם השראה לאסטרטגיה. חלום למדדים. רעיון לאימפקט. ופתאום זה כבר לא רק ציור יפה או רעיון מבריק - אלא משהו שיכול לשנות תפיסה של מוצר, של חברה, של שוק שלם. חופש, אחריות, ומה שביניהם לאורך השיחה חוזר המתח הקבוע שבין חופש לאחריות. הרצון ליצור בלי גבולות מול הצורך להחזיק מסגרת, לקוחות, עובדים, והתחייבויות. זה לא איזון מושלם, והוא גם לא מציג אותו ככזה. זו תנועה מתמדת - לפעמים יותר חופש, לפעמים יותר אחריות, לפעמים דחף קדימה ולפעמים עצירה. ובתוך זה, הוא מדגיש שוב ושוב דבר אחד פשוט: האנשים שמחזיקים לאורך זמן, אלה שמובילים ארגונים גדולים, חברות, מהלכים – הם אלה שבאמת אוהבים את מה שהם עושים. כל עוד יש אהבה אמיתית לעשייה, מוכנים גם לשלם מחירים. אין כאן רומנטיקה מזויפת – יש תשוקה, ויש מאמץ, ויש גם עייפות, ויש גם ויתורים. הכול ביחד. סיום – מסע שאין לו נקודת סיום המסע שהוא מתאר הוא מסע של למידה בלתי פוסקת, של אמונה פנימית, של יצירתיות ושל סתירות. מלא לא, לא, לא, לא, לא – אבל גם אבל. וגם כן. לא תמיד רואים אותו מיד. לפעמים הוא קטן, נסתר, לא גרנדיוזי. אבל הוא שם. הוא מדבר בכנות על המחירים, על ההשקעה, על המאמץ המתמשך. על זה שזה אף פעם לא קל – לא בהתחלה, לא באמצע, ולא כש״כבר מצליחים״. ובאותה נשימה, גם על כמה זה מרגש. כמה זה מעורר תשוקה. הדרך של גדעון מספרת סיפור אחד ברור: ככל שאתה מסור יותר למה שאתה עושה, ככל שאתה מוכן להתמיד גם כשאין מחיאות כפיים, וככל שאתה מסכים להכיל את הסתירות — וכל עוד אתה נהנה מהמסע — כך הסיכוי לפגוש את ה‘כן' שלך גדל. זו הזמנה לראות את היזמות כדרך חיים — כבחירה מתמשכת לנוע, להתעקש וליצור. ואז, כשמסתכלים לאחור, מבינים איך כל הנקודות מתחברות.
In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha is joined by photographer, publisher, editor, and educator Nelson Chan. Together, they trace the winding path that led Nelson to his dream job as a professor at the Rhode Island School of Design. Along the way, Nelson reflects on the “guardian angels” who helped him stay the course, the openness that allowed unexpected opportunities to shape his trajectory, and the community of friends and collaborators who eventually inspired the founding of TIS Books. Sasha and Nelson also talk about the value of building connections, putting yourself out there, and treating your career as a marathon rather than a sprint. https://www.nelsonchanphotography.com/ https://www.tisbooks.pub/ Nelson Chan was born in New Jersey to immigrant parents from Hong Kong and Taiwan and has spent most of his life between the States and Hong Kong. Having grown up between two continents, this immigrant experience influences the majority of his work. Nelson received his BFA and MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and the Hartford Art School, respectively. He has been exhibited nationally and internationally at institutions such as the Museum of Chinese in America, New York, NY; Boston Center for the Arts, Boston, MA; The Print Center, Philadelphia, PA; Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Germany; and 798 Space, Beijing, China. His books are collected in the institutional libraries of The MET, The Guggenheim, SEMOMA, The Whitney Museum, The Harry Ransom Center, and MoMA, among others. Along with his own photographic work, book publishing and education are extensions of, what Nelson refers to as, an industrious studio practice. He is co-founder of TIS books, an independent art book publisher and was production manager at the Aperture Foundation from 2016-19. In 2025, Nelson was awarded tenure at California College of the Arts but ultimately left the Bay Area to teach at the Rhode Island School of Design as an associate professor of photography.

This week on Past Gas, we're telling the story of Pininfarina — the small Italian coachbuilder that became the world's most iconic design house. Before their name appeared on Ferraris and Peugeots, Battista “Pinin” Farina was just a kid in his brother's shop dreaming bigger than Detroit. From turning down a job offer from Henry Ford to creating the MoMA-worthy Cisitalia 202, Pininfarina quickly rewrote the rules of car design. And after one legendary lunch with Enzo Ferrari, they'd go on to shape nearly every iconic Ferrari for the next six decades. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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
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'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
