In this new Book Talks episode, Mandolyn Wilson Rosen is back to help me review a new art book: Jack Whitten: Notes From the Woodshed, Edited by Katy Siegel for Hauser & Wirth. Equal parts profound, strident and hilarious, Jack Whitten's (1939-2018) 50 year studio log packs a wallop. And it's meaty at 581 pages, so we had lots to discuss! Stick around to hear some sage advice, inspiring tales of studio experimentation and even some positive affirmations from this incredible painter and sculptor.Links to shows, videos, articles mentioned:"Jack Whitten: The Messenger" Exhibition at MOMA 2025"Jack Whitten: Ready-nows" Two Coats of Paint BlogXerox PARC Artist-in-Residence (PAIR) programJack Whitten – ‘The Political is in the Work' by TateShotsJack Whitten: An Artist's Life | Art21 "Extended Play"Uncovering Jack Whitten's mysterious abstractions | HOW TO SEE (MOMA)Artists mentioned: Willlem DeKooning, Robert Blackburn, Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Barnett Newman, Franz Kline, Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra, Ron Gorchov, Sol Lewitt, Frank Stella, Caravaggio, Berrisford Boothe, Kerry Downey, Amy Sillman, Jake BerthotWhitten works mentioned: "The Messenger: For Art Blakey," "Homecoming: For Miles," "Black Monolith 2: Homage to Ralph Ellison, The Invisible Man," "Head IV Lynching," Homage to Malcolm," "King's Wish (Martin Luther's Dream)," "King's Garden," The Slab Paintings, "Asa's Palace," Gray Paintings, Greek Alphabet Paintings, "Dead Reckoning I," "9-11-01," "Apps for Obama," "Nine Fire CDS: For the Fire Spitter (Jane Cortez)," "Zeitgeist Traps (For Michael Goldberg)," "Quantum Wall VIII for Arshile Gorky (My First Love in Painting)," "Crystal Palace: For Jeanne Siegel"Philosophers Jack loved: Immanuel Kant, Martin Heidegger, Edmund Husserl, Taha Hussein (Egyptian, Arab Renaissance), Friedrich Nietzsche, Slavoj ŽižekOther artist logs: Day Book by Anne TruittThe Andy Warhol Diaries Edited by Pat HackettPhilip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures and Conversations Edited by Clark Coolidge Agnes Martin: Painting, Writings, Remembrances Edited by Arne GlimcherWhere to get the book:Hauser & Wirth , Abe Books, Thrift Books, Ebay, AmazonPlease find Mandolyn Wilson Rosen online here: mandolynwilsonrosen.com and IG @mandolyn_rosenThank you, Mandy!

New York City offers nearly unlimited activities, restaurants, and unique landmarks to explore. Wasting your time on overhyped or overpriced attractions can eat away at your valuable time in the city.In this article, we're gonna help you avoid wasted time and money by calling out five overrated NYC attractions you can keep OFF your itinerary.Plus, we'll provide alternatives to each of these common tourist traps.1- Serendipity 3The crowds are hectic, the ambiance is overstimulating, and none of the food or desserts we tried were very good.Instead, go to Caffè Panna or Grace Street.2- Statue of Liberty/Ellis IslandWe've covered this in full detail previously, but this experience is too long, too crowded, and too much waiting in line to be worth your time. Instead, take the free Staten Island Ferry or simply view the Statue of Liberty from Lower Manhattan.3- The Charging Bull in FiDi The crowds around this statue overstate what you'll actually get out of the experience. While passing by is great, we wouldn't go out of our way to view this statue. Instead, go to the 9/11 Memorial Pools.4- Central Park ZooThe Central Park Zoo is actually quite small, with not very many animals. If you want a zoo experience, go to the Bronx Zoo. It has 265 acres and SO many exhibitions.5- Museum of Ice Cream/Color/IllusionsIf social media didn't exist, neither would these "museums". Instead of spending the $30 or so for one of these money grabs, go to any of the iconic museums like the MoMA, The MET, or the Museum of Natural History.You'll Have to Check It Out - Swift Hibernian LoungeProbably the coziest Irish pub you'll find, with an unbelievable pour of Guinness. We also loved the communal table in the back section! Check out Swift here.Want even more NYC insights?

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?

Dnes v podcaste o tom, ako sa popri štúdiu PhD rozhodla začať študovať medicínu, aké pocity si odnáša zo súdnej pitvy a to, ako nám obom školské prostredie a nové štúdium zmenili pohľad na influencerskú bublinu a náš život.

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. (Encore presentation.)

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.

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.

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
