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.

Við fengum Hjördísi Rós Jónsdóttur, fræðslufulltrúa SOS Barnaþorpa til að segja okkur betur frá dagatalinu í dag. Og svo var það veðurspjallið með Einari Sveinbjörnssyni en í dag fjallaði hann um þræsing og bakflæði í veðrinu. Svo var það langtímaspáin og jólaveðrið, er of snemmt að segja eitthvað um það? Og að lokum var það spurningin um endanlegan árshita í Stykkishólmi, þar sem er yfir 180 ára mælingasaga, munu hitamet falla? Einar sagði okkur allt um þetta í dag.

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.

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

I'm so excited to say that my guest on the Great Women Artist Podcast is one of the world's most renowned photographers working today, Sally Mann. Hailed for her images of nature in the remote American south – full of deeply layered memories and rivers that become characters of their own – and intimate portrayals of her children Jesse, Emmett and Virginia, Sally Mann creates photographs full of beauty. Beauty being something that is tied up with ephemerality, that is alive, that is in motion, something that we have to catch. As she aptly wrote in her 2015 memoir, Hold Still, “there cannot be any real beauty without the indolic whiff of decay.” Mann's photographs are therefore both painterly and fleeting. They capture people on the cusp of something else, whether that be illness or an increasingly decaying body, but she also captures the land, connecting us to the ancient and the natural worlds. Using an eight by 10 bellows camera and 19th century photographic techniques, her black and white aesthetic - that can be both dreamlike and hazy - chimes with her interest in memory and decay. Born in 1951 in Lexington, Virginia, Mann began her artistic career as a poet, but a deep dive in photography in the late 1960s whilst attending the Ansel Adams Gallery Yosemite Workshops was one of the catalysts for her photographic career. Words have always also taken center stage - she studied literature at Hollins College in Virginia in 1974 and completed an MA in creative writing the following year. She is the author of Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs and was the subject of two documentaries, Blood Ties in 1994, and What Remains in 2006. However, this year she also released the New York Times bestselling book, Art Work: The Creative Life, a part memoir, part insight into her creative life, which is a strange and lonely one; one that is so personal and insular, and one that we can often take for granted and get angry at. Yet it was reading this that really reminded me about why so many of us do what we do… Books mentioned: Sally Mann - Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs: https://www.waterstones.com/book/hold-still/sally-mann/9780241699287 Sally Mann - Art Work: The Creative Life: https://www.waterstones.com/book/art-work/sally-mann/9780241774540 Artists mentioned: Ansel Adams (1902–1984) Edward Weston (1886–1958) Cy Twombly (1928–2011) Bill Brandt (1904–1983) Robert Capa (1913–1954) Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879) Mary Ellen Mark (1940–2015) Joseph Szabo (b.1944) Lady Clementina Hawarden (1822–1865) Imogen Cunningham (1883–1976) Artworks mentioned: Sally Mann, The Perfect Tomato (1990): https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/10396 Sally Mann, Immediate Family series (1984–1992) Sally Mann, Dead Duck (1988): https://observer.co.uk/culture/photography/article/sally-mann-my-quest-to-take-the-perfect-photograph-memoir Sally Mann, Marital Trust series (1990s to the early 2000s, to be exhibited at Gagosian in 2027) The Family of Man, a 1955 exhibition at MoMA, organised by Edward Steichen: https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/2429 -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Nada Smiljanic Music by Ben Wetherfield
A locked museum. Five eccentric art teachers. One missing Salvador Dalí masterpiece. In this special fiction-meets-art-history podcast, you'll step into the MoMA after hours, where a professional development retreat turns into something much more sinister. What begins as an inspiring evening quickly spirals into chaos when Dalí's The Persistence of Memory disappears. Each teacher has their quirks, secrets, and possible motives: Delilah Rose – the bubbly Ms. Frizzle of the art room, all glitter glue and good intentions… but is she too innocent? Solomon Ochre – the arrogant competitor, desperate to showcase his talent and prove his importance. Amber Russell – indifferent, sarcastic, observant, and maybe secretly brilliant. Madison Periwinkle – the "artfluencer", livestreaming for clout and sharing her entire teaching experience. Robert Celadon – the old school purist, obsessed with tradition, forgery, and art history. When the painting vanishes, suspicion falls on them all. With quirky detectives, unreliable security, and tangled motives, this is more than a PD event—it's a full-blown art heist mystery. Listen now to experience a story blending art history, teaching art, and true-crime-style suspense. Can you solve the mystery before the detectives do?

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

Leon Black's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein spanned decades and has been a source of sustained scandal. Black, cofounder of Apollo Global Management, paid Epstein at least $158 million (and recent investigations suggest as much as $170 million) between 2012 and 2017 for tax, estate planning, and art-collection services. Black has acknowledged that working with Epstein was a “horrible mistake” and said he deeply regrets their association. Nonetheless, his payments and closeness to Epstein have invited intense scrutiny about what Black knew — or should have known — about Epstein's criminal network. Meanwhile, congressional and regulatory probes have sought to uncover the full extent of their financial entanglements and whether Black's use of Epstein's services was beyond mere professional consults.In addition to the financial scandal, Black's ties to Epstein have been tangled with serious allegations of sexual misconduct. Multiple lawsuits accuse Black of rape, including claims that in 2002, when introduced by Epstein, he assaulted a 16-year-old autistic girl in Epstein's Manhattan townhouse. One prominent lawsuit filed by Cheri Pierson accused Black of attacking her in Epstein's home; that lawsuit was later dismissed. Black has denied all criminal wrongdoing, asserting consensual relationships and rejecting claims against him as false. These overlapping allegations and financial links with Epstein have undermined Black's reputation, led to his resignation as MoMA board chair and Apollo executive, and triggered ongoing legal and reputational battles.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmaill.com
Leon Black's fall from grace at the Museum of Modern Art came in early 2021, after intense public backlash over his deep financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Reports revealed that Black had paid Epstein approximately $158 million for tax and estate advisory services, long after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. The revelations sparked outrage across New York's art world, with artists, staff, and activists demanding his removal from MoMA's board. Protesters accused the museum of moral hypocrisy for maintaining ties with a man linked to Epstein's network, arguing that his presence tainted the institution's credibility and mission. As pressure mounted from both within and outside MoMA, calls for his resignation grew louder, and donors began quietly voicing discomfort about his continued leadership.In March 2021, facing unrelenting scrutiny, Black announced that he would step down as chairman of MoMA's board and not seek re-election when his term ended. While he technically remained on the board as a trustee, his exit from the chairmanship was viewed as a forced retreat under immense public pressure. His resignation from the top spot came shortly after he also resigned as CEO of Apollo Global Management amid the same Epstein scandal. MoMA attempted to minimize the fallout by framing his departure as voluntary, but the timing — coming amid protests and reputational damage — made clear that Black's position had become untenable. His exit marked one of the most high-profile instances of cultural institutions severing ties with financiers connected to Epstein.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Do you like sleaze? Do you yearn for the filth of New York City in the early 80s? Do you like low budgets and gorilla film making? Do you like rubber monster puppets and buckets of blood? If, enthusiastically, you said yes to these questions, then boy HOWDY do we have a movie for you. It's the start of the spooky season and somehow Pete got the first pick. Also, somehow, he picked a movie that truly embraces the "Give Me Back" vibe. Basket Case is a masterclass in low budget filmmaking so much so the The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has curated and preserved it in their archives. What the WHAT? Do you mean THE MoMA? The Museum of Modern Art in New York City? I sure do. Basket Case is free on our lord and savior Tubi, so make sure to watch the 91 minute classic before you tune in.
This week, we print big or go home. Bad at Sports cast their eyes to New York from the safe confines of the Chicago Architectural Biennial booth at EXPO 2025 to talk with the legendary Two Palms studio in the guise of Alex Slattery. If you've ever stood slack-jawed in front of a monoprint the size of a small car or a woodblock cut so large it needed its own logistics plan, chances are Two Palms was behind it. Since the 1990s, David Lasry and company have been redefining what printmaking can be—working with artists like Carroll Dunham, Elizabeth Peyton, Mel Bochner, Cecily Brown, Terry Winters, Chris Ofili, Dana Schutz, Richard Prince, Chuck Close, Jeff Koons, and yes, even channeling the ghost of Andy Warhol. From delicate gestures to total madness with ink and paper, the studio's collaborations are as unpredictable as they are radical. We talk risk, scale, failure, and discovery—the alchemy of artist–printer collaborations that make Two Palms a force in contemporary art. Along the way we wander through stories of impossible woodblocks, ink disasters turned into triumphs, and why printmaking might just be the most punk medium of them all. So pour a glass, sharpen your barens, and get ready to nerd out about the future of prints.

Welcome back to the Create Podcast. Just in time for the fall season, I am joined by Pam Grossman, a writer, curator, teacher, and practicing witch whose work beautifully bridges creativity, culture, and magic. Pam is the host of The Witch Wave podcast (called “the Terry Gross of witches” by Vulture), the author of Waking the Witch: Reflections on Women, Magic, and Power, and co-editor of Taschen's Witchcraft volume in the Library of Esoterica series. Her essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, TIME, and more. She has also organized exhibitions such as Language of the Birds: Occult and Art at NYU and spoken at institutions including MoMA and Columbia University. 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. Butler, and Leonora Carrington have used magic as part of their creative process, and how you can do the same in your own life. In This Episode, We Discuss Pam's creative roots and how she began merging her artistic and magical practices Misconceptions about witchcraft and how the archetype of the witch has evolved How Magic Maker links art and magic, showing that creativity itself can be a spiritual practice Practical rituals to protect your studio time and invite inspiration, from lighting candles to leaving offerings or simply asking for guidance The idea of “low frequency” and “high frequency” desires in art and business, and how to balance material needs with higher intentions Pam's experiences speaking at institutions like MoMA and casting a love spell on stage at Carnegie Hall with Jinkx Monsoon The role of research, fascination, and intuition when writing a book Artists who inspire her including Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, Hilma af Klint, Max Ernst, and Kurt Seligmann Resources and Mentions Books by Pam Grossman Magic Maker: The Enchanted Path to Creativity (Penguin Life & Hay House UK, 2025) → Pre-order here Waking the Witch: Reflections on Women, Magic, and Power (Simon & Schuster, 2019) What Is a Witch (Tin Can Forest Press, 2016) Witchcraft (Taschen's Library of Esoterica series, co-edited with Jessica Hundley, 2020) Podcast The Witch Wave – Pam's long-running podcast on art, culture, and magic Exhibitions and Projects Language of the Birds: Occult and Art (NYU, 2016) → languageofthebirds.org Art of the Occult by S.

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