This week's case takes place in Gary, Indiana in 1985 and how the catastrophe of one random Tuesday afternoon, spent playing hooky from school destroys the lives of so many. We will discuss the tragic upbringing of five young ladies. One of the girls narrowly escapes the devastation that engulfs the other four young ladies' lives. With several teen pregnancies, absentee parental figures, neglect and physical abuse it's not surprising when the other four young teens end up in prison. Listen to today's case to hear about how 15-year-old Paula Cooper and her friends; 15-year-old April Beverly, 16-year-old Karen Corder, and 14-year-old Denis Thomas, decided to get money to go buy snack and hang out at the local arcade. This is a shocking story of what can happen when all hope is lost.

If you've been following the Covid inquiry, you may have noticed a lot of strong and swearing language. So why do we swear, and are women judged differently for swearing than men? In her new book For F*ck's Sake: Why Swearing is Shocking, Rude, and Fun, Dr Rebecca Roache explores double standards, the misogynistic roots of certain swear words and the challenges in reclaiming them. Anita Rani is also joined by the scientist Dr Emma Byrne who discusses why she swears, swearing in front of children and her own relationship with certain swear words. In 1985 in Gary, Indiana, four girls aged between 14 and 16 years old entered the house of an elderly woman and brutally murdered her. They took her car and a small amount of cash. The girls were black and the woman was white. Ruth Pelke was a Bible school teacher, a widow, well-known in her community. Those facts are not disputed. A new book called Seventy Times Seven by Alex Mar is a forensic study of what happened before and after that day and her focus is on Paula Cooper - a 15-year-old girl sentenced to death for her crime. So far, so grim, but this is also a story of forgiveness and radical empathy. Alex Mar joins Anita. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Kirsty Starkey
Jordy sits down with Alex Mar, journalist and author of Seventy Times Seven: A True Story of Murder and Mercy, to discuss the story of Paula Cooper, a teenage girl who committed a violent crime and was sentenced to death at the age of fifteen. The death penalty was sought for Paula until Bill Pelke, the grandson of the victim killed by Paula, publicly forgave her and began advocating against the death penalty. The story of Paula Cooper and Bill Pelke, as well as all the other individuals who played a role in this story, are both heartbreaking and inspirational.

On a spring afternoon in 1985 in Gary, Indiana, a fifteen-year-old girl kills an elderly woman in a violent home invasion. In a city with a history of racial tensions and white flight, the girl, Paula Cooper, is Black, and her victim, Ruth Pelke, is white and a beloved Bible teacher. The press swoops in.When Paula is sentenced to death, no one decries the impending execution of a tenth grader. But the tide begins to shift when the victim's grandson Bill forgives the girl, against the wishes of his family, and campaigns to spare her life. This tragedy in a midwestern steel town soon reverberates across the United States and around the world—reaching as far away as the Vatican—as newspapers cover the story on their front pages and millions sign petitions in support of Paula.As Paula waits on death row, her fate sparks a debate that not only animates legal circles but raises vital questions about the value of human life: What are we demanding when we call for justice? Is forgiveness an act of desperation or of profound bravery? As Bill and Paula's friendship deepens, and as Bill discovers others who have chosen to forgive after terrible violence, their story asks us to consider what radical acts of empathy we might be capable of.In Seventy Times Seven, Alex Mar weaves an unforgettable narrative of an act of violence and its aftermath. This is a story about the will to live—to survive, to grow, to change—and about what we are willing to accept as justice. Tirelessly researched and told with intimacy and precision, this book brings a haunting chapter in the history of our criminal justice system to astonishing life.

A day of skipping school turned into a life sentence for Paula. Come hear the story about how this 15 year old became the youngest person to receive the death penalty in the state of Indiana.
Following studies in Paris, Paula Cooper (b. 1938, MA) entered the New York art world aged 21 working at the World House Galleries on the Upper East Side. In 1964 she opened the Paula Johnson Gallery, where she showed work by Walter de Maria and Bob Thompson, among others. From 1965 to 1967 Cooper served as the Director of the artist's cooperative Park Place, whose members included Mark di Suvero, Robert Grosvenor and David Novros––artists she continues to work with today. Paula Cooper opened the first art gallery in SoHo at 96-100 Prince Street in 1968 with a benefit for the Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, showing works by Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Robert Mangold and Robert Ryman, as well as Sol LeWitt's first wall drawing. Paula Cooper Gallery moved to Wooster Street in 1973 and then to Chelsea in 1996, and has consistently shown art that is conceptually unique and visually challenging. In addition to the artistic program, the gallery has regularly hosted concerts, music symposia, dance performances, book receptions, poetry readings, as well as art exhibitions and special events to benefit various national and community organizations. Of particular note was a series of New Year's Eve readings of Gertrude Stein's The Making of Americans and James Joyce's Finnegans Wake for twenty-five years until 2000, a ten-year series of concerts by The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center that began in the early 1970s, and an annual concert by the S.E.M. Ensemble that continued until 2019. Cooper was awarded an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Fine Arts from the Rhode Island School of Design (1995) and the order of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministre de la Culture et de la Communication (2002) followed by the order of Officier des Arts et des Lettres (2014). In 2003 Cooper and her husband, the publisher Jack Macrae, opened the independent bookstore 192 Books. Cooper continues to run Paula Cooper Gallery. She and Zuckerman discuss the end of life, bad and good, how art revives, relationships, the New York artworld, the line between art and business, art as a language, visceral connections, celebrating messiness, art as true expression, not taking anything for granted, and the importance of encouragement!
If you're a first generation horseman or horsewoman, this is an episode you won't want to miss. On this episode, I'm joined by an ambitious young trainer named Paula Cooper who transitioned from competitive skiing into roping and rodeo at the age of 16. Although Paula had a later start in her horsemanship journey, this has not stopped her from becoming an extremely competitive roper and trainer, earning a college rodeo scholarship at the University of Wyoming. In this show, we're talking about all the ways that Paula has built confidence as a horsewoman and how she has established routines that help her prepare for success both inside and outside the arena. Read the full show notes at philhaugenhorsemanship.com/podcast.
We bullshit about surgery, a Halloween idea, tanning and Hugh Hefner. "Whatever flips your cookie." Then, complaining about Jerry Saltz (again) leads to a broader conversation about institutional power in the artworld. We make a clumsy Succession analogy, discuss the decline and fall of Metro Pictures, and sing the praises of Paula Cooper. Gallerists are just Dasha.
When we say the Teen Life topics of the August 1988 issue run the gamut, that is precisely what we mean. We're going to start with the story of the youngest person ever sentenced to Death Row; then review the results of a survey conducted on 300 boys in malls, on topics ranging from when they want to get married to which outfit they'd most like to see you wear on a date. Crushing on a teacher? Christina has advice on that, some of which has not aged so well. And Barbara Bondrack's short story takes us backstage at a rock show...sort of. On The Road takes us to Boston; Body Talk covers exercise bands and constipation; Help has some advice about confusing sex dreams and bed-wetting (unrelated). Two extremely important departments make their début: Stuff You Wrote and It Happened To Me! And the first IHTM is about...getting an abortion! After that heavy topic, we need to wind down with What He Said about the upcoming presidential election. Tone down your eyeliner -- that's how dudes like it, apparently -- and join us! Visual Aids

Quando all'arte contemporanea non bastano più le installazioni o le fotografie, il corpo diventa l'ultima frontiera. Dalle performance sadomaso degli azionisti viennesi alla brutale manicure di Valie Export, dalle favolose trasformazioni di Leigh Bowery allo stunt-man esistenziale Chris Burden, dall'arte antipatriarcale di Ana Mendieta a quella facilona di Frida Kahlo: nella body art, buon sangue non mente.Costantino, l'Henry Kissinger della Maremma, spiega il concetto di “stato climatico interiore” (che non ha capito neanche lui), mentre Francesco racconta la riscoperta di un antico piacere all'indomani di un miracoloso intervento alla prostata. E, nel finale, una corposa rivelazione per tutti i fan di ArteFatti.In questa puntata si parla di Umberto Galimberti, Günther Brus, Otto Muehl, Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Hermann Nitsch, Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Chuck Close, Adolf Loos, Sifgmund Freud, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Banksy, Henry Kissinger, Gerry Scotti, Carmelo Bene, Dario Cecchini, Justice Yeldham, Valie Export, Gina Pane, Marina Abramović, Slobodan Milošević, Carolee Schneemann, Robert Morris, Claes Oldenburg, Sabina Ciuffini, Mike Bongiorno, Donald Judd, Walter De Maria, Paula Cooper, Holly Solomon, Marian Goodman, Yoda, Midnight Cowboy, Madame Claude, Ana Mendieta, Fidel Castro, Sara Ann Otten, Carl Andre, O.J.

In episode 45 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews one of the greatest painters to ever live, the inimitable CECILY BROWN!!!!! [This episode is brought to you by Alighieri jewellery: www.alighieri.co.uk | use the code TGWA at checkout for 10% off!] I am SO EXCITED to release this episode which chronicles the UK-born, US-based Brown's incredible painterly career from the 1990s–present day! With her work steeped in art history, referencing the likes of Rubens, to Goya to Bacon and de Kooning, Cecily Brown is known for her all-encompassing, small-to-colossal scale paintings that portray the medium in a continual state of flux, constantly blurring the lines between abstraction and figuration, truth and fiction, liquid and solid. Always ALIVE with erotic energy, witnessing a Cecily Brown in the flesh is like seeing four-hundred years worth of painting unfold before your eyes. Every corner and inch of the canvas is activated, frenzied and fractured so intensely that you can’t help but project ideas around desire, life, and death, with the painting’s momentous fleshy and battle-like strokes and tones. Born in the UK in the late 1960s, Cecily Brown was granted a garage to paint by the esteemed British painter (and former GWA Podcast guest) Maggi Hambling, before going on to study at London’s Slade School of Fine Art. And in 1994, after a stint in America two years before, she relocated to New York City, where she has lived ever since, continuing the legacy of the renowned New York School artists. The subject of solo exhibitions at major institutions around the world, including the MFA Boston, Hirshhorn in Washington, Modern Art Oxford, and my favourite Louisiana Museum in Denmark, as well as countless shows at galleries including Thomas Dane and Paula Cooper, where I have been lucky enough to witness her work, Cecily is considered one of the most influential painters alive right now. And NOW she has recently opened a staggeringly brilliant exhibition at Blenheim Palace here in England, where she has conceived an entirely new body of work that responds to the Palace’s history, through hunting and battle scenes, as well as a brilliant commentary on the state of Britain right now and the romanticised but complex nature of British society.

Paula Cooper Gallery has survived and thrived in a mercurial art world for more than five decades. On today's show, the legendary dealer talks about the history and future of her gallery together with Steven Henry, who has been the gallery director for more than two decades, Allan Schwartzman, co-founder of Art Agency, Partners, and host Charlotte Burns.
