In this episode, we speak with Andrew Jensen, founder and director of Fox Jensen, one of Australia's leading contemporary art galleries and Fox Jensen Mccrory, alongside Emma Fox and Sarah Mccrory. Andrew discusses the evolution of the gallery, from its beginnings to its current presence in both Sydney and New Zealand. We explore the changing landscape of contemporary art, what makes a successful artist gallery relationship, and how a commercial gallery balances artistic vision with the realities of the art market.The conversation also touches on collecting, the international art scene, the enduring significance of painting, and the role galleries play in supporting artists throughout their careers. Andrew shares insights from decades of experience working closely with established and emerging artists, offering a candid look at the challenges and opportunities facing contemporary art today.Whether you're an artist, collector, curator, or simply interested in contemporary culture, this episode provides a thoughtful perspective on the business, passion and commitment behind running a leading gallery.'Andrew Jensen opened the gallery in New Zealand in 1988 and over the course of more than thirty-five years it has set itself aside in terms of its seamless presentation of international work alongside the most considered practices from the region. In early 2011 the gallery expanded to Australia opening a second gallery in Sydney.Multiple exhibitions by major artists such as Imi Knoebel, Fred Sandback, Tony Oursler, Helmut Federle, Günter Umberg, Winston Roeth, Lawrence Carroll, Elisabeth Vary and Callum Innes altered and enriched the local conditions. These exhibitions continued to provide the basis for an increasingly expansive approach that has seen the curated aspect of the gallery grow. There have been numerous notable projects over the last decade or more including E=MC2, Naked, The Architecture of Colour, Six Degrees of Separation, Points of Orientation, Detox, Melancholia, The Authority of Death, Farben, Saturation, There's Joy in Repetition, Portrait without a Face, Eros, Permafrost and more recently Raven, Plastic Soul, Terrain, No One's Rose & Rain. The galleries' programs have developed a welcome richness and energy with the inclusion of a newer generation of international artists including Jan Albers, Mark Francis, Hanns Kunitzberger, Sofie Muller, Erin Lawlor, Liat Yossifor, Koen Delaere, Jane Bustin and Gideon Rubin. Alongside this, artists from the region include Aida Tomescu, Tomislav Nikolic, Matthew Allen, Geoff Thornley, Robert Malherbe, Jenny Topfer, Todd Hunter and Gary McMillan. The galleries are also privileged to hold the Estate of Bill & Pip Culbert.With the opening of the major new gallery space in Sydney in late 2025 the galleries have both expanded and consolidated its program. In 2026 the galleries are presenting works by celebrated artists Ian Davenport (UK), Paul Czerlitzki (POL), Ingo Meller (GER), Ulrike Schulze (GER), Gerold Millar (GER) and Lucienne O'Mara (UK). Fox Jensen, Sydney and Fox Jensen McCrory, Auckland are run in close partnership with its artists by Andrew Jensen, Emma Fox and Sarah McCrory. It participates annually in art fairs whilst remaining deeply committed to its galleries' programs and to publishing.' - Fox Jensen Website Thanks for Andrew Jensen and Emma Fox for having us in their home for the converstauon.Fox jensen Gallery, cnr Brennan &, McEvoy St, Alexandria NSW 2015Fox Jensen Mcrorym, 10 Putiki St, Gtey Lynn, AKL 1021 Hosted on Acast.

Qu'est-ce qu'un physicien fait dans un laboratoire d'IA ? Il pose les bonnes questions.C'est le fil conducteur du parcours de Sofiane Schaack, directeur Data & IA chez Capgemini Invent. De la mécanique quantique à la modélisation du vol, jusqu'aux grands modèles de langage, il n'a jamais cessé de chercher à comprendre ce qui se cache derrière les systèmes.Dans cet épisode du Lab, il raconte ce chemin peu commun : ses débuts comme codeur autodidacte, son passage par la recherche puis le conseil, et la manière dont il a construit une activité d'IA à la croisée de la physique et des données.Mais surtout, il partage les questions qui l'animent aujourd'hui : que se passe-t-il réellement à l'intérieur d'un réseau de neurones ? Que représentent ces modèles… et que comprennent-ils vraiment ?Un épisode qui invite à prendre du recul. Sur l'IA, et sur notre propre façon de comprendre le monde.

Vor einem Jahr haben sich oberhalb von Blatten im Lötschental mehrere Millionen Kubikmeter Geröll, Eis und Schlamm gelöst. Das Dorf wurde am 28. Mai 2025 verschüttet. Ein Mann kam dabei ums Leben. Ein Jahr später ist der Wille, Blatten wieder aufzubauen, ungebrochen. Ab 2029 soll es möglich sein, wieder in Blatten zu wohnen. Doch der Wiederaufbau ist kompliziert. Der Raum im Tal ist begrenzt, Naturgefahren setzen enge Grenzen. Gleichzeitig stellt sich die Frage, wie das noch vorhandene Bauland nun aufgeteilt wird. Zudem ist unklar, wie viele Menschen überhaupt nach Blatten zurückwollen: Manche Familien wollen zurückkehren. Andere sind bereits weggezogen. Wie geht es den Menschen heute? Was gibt ihnen Kraft? Und was lässt sie noch immer verzweifeln? Reporter Cyrill Pinto ist ins Lötschental gereist und hat mit jenen gesprochen, die vor einem Jahr ihr Zuhause verloren haben. Unter anderem mit Gemeindepräsident Matthias Bellwald, der seit einem Jahr für ein neues Blatten kämpft. In der neusten Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos» erzählt er von seinem Besuch. Im zweiten Teil der Folge schaltet sich Christof Gertsch, Reporter beim «Magazin», dazu. Er hat zu Permafrost recherchiert und erklärt, was Permafrost mit Blatten zu tun hat – und was wir in den Alpen noch zu erwarten haben.

Send us a textIce doesn't just melt; it remembers. As permafrost thaws, we unpack what really ‘wakes up' in the soil—and what that means for human health, animals, crops, and culture. We bring a One Health lens to a noisy topic, cutting through “zombie virus” headlines to explain why most human viruses don't survive freeze–thaw cycles, and how a 2016 Siberian outbreak became a case study in climate, ecology, and policy colliding.We explore the icy regions of the map—Russia, Canada, Greenland, Alaska, and Antarctica—then dive into the mechanics: frozen soils, ancient organic matter, and greenhouse gases are released when microbes “switch on.” You'll hear how megaviruses that infect amoebae survived for tens of thousands of years, why smallpox on ice is noninfectious, and how plant pathogens threaten food systems as tourism and trade move microbes on boots and gear. We also explore prion durability, revived nematodes, and fungi's overlooked role in carbon cycling that accelerates warming.Beyond the lab, we sit with the human story. Indigenous communities situated in permafrost regions face failing infrastructure, disrupted wildlife patterns, and cultural loss that statistics can't capture. Add in geopolitics: like the Ukrainian war that has severed scientific data flows from vast Siberian regions, creating dangerous blind spots in permafrost surveillance. The takeaway isn't panic—it's preparation. Surveil, learn, support cross-border monitoring, and center cultural resilience alongside climate adaptation.Thanks for listening to the Infectious Science Podcast.

From “we need it to stop a caliphate marching through Europe” to breathless claims about vast rare earth riches, the commentary has devolved into pure nonsense. No facts, no experts—just boogeymen and buzzwords.Here's the reality no one in the media seems willing to explain: Greenland's mineral deposits are largely low grade, and mining there is an economic nightmare. Permafrost, brutal cold, months of darkness, brittle metals, custom equipment, nonexistent infrastructure, tiny shipping windows, and astronomical logistics costs make Arctic mining a capital-expenditure black hole. If it were economically viable, it would already be happening.In this episode, Chris breaks down why “rare earths in Greenland” is a fantasy, why mining companies won't touch it without taxpayer guarantees, and how this logic mirrors the same moral hazard we've seen with oil, banks, and bailouts before. Free markets don't work by executive order or political hype—and taxpayers shouldn't be forced to backstop uneconomic boondoggles. Do your homework.

Permafrost is stable - until it isn't. As Arctic industries continue to expand, the ground below our fuel tanks and pipelines is literally thawing, causing dangerous settlement and structural failure. In this episode, we're joined by Ed Yarmak, President of Arctic Foundations Inc., a pioneer in the development and installation of thermosyphon technology - the passive heat transfer systems used across Alaska, Canada, and beyond to keep permafrost frozen and critical infrastructure standing. We explore: What permafrost really is - and why thawing causes tanks to tilt, settle, or even fail How thermosyphons work (10,000-ft overview - no engineering degree required) How project managers can know before construction whether permafrost will be a problem What happens when older tanks - built before thermosyphons - start to settle decades later How modern systems are retrofitted with directional drilling and insulation technologies Pipeline applications (Alyeska and beyond) Ed's top resources for professionals navigating Arctic conditions If you work in fuel storage, remote operations, or Arctic infrastructure — this episode will change the way you think about what's under your tanks.  UAF SNAP Climate toolshttps://uaf-snap.org/climate-tools/https://snap.uaf.edu/tools/community-chartshttps://arcticeds.org/Permafrost Conference Proceedings, Etc.https://www.uspermafrost.org/publicationshttps://www.permafrost.org/publications/https://canadianpermafrostassociation.ca/glossary-of-permafrost-science-and-engineering.htm  https://canadianpermafrostassociation.ca/permafrost-dictionary.htm Support the showintro/outro created with GarageBand

Wie steht es um die Gefahren in Blatten VS Monate nach dem Bergsturz? Wie geht es den Menschen, die alles verloren haben? Und was zeigt Blatten für andere gefährdete Bergdörfer? «Einstein» ist zurück am Berg. Was in den ersten Wochen noch Sperrzone war, ist jetzt beeindruckendes Forschungsgelände. Betroffene zwischen Zuversicht und Sorge «Einstein» besuchte das Hotelier-Ehepaar Kalbermatten bereits in den Tagen nach dem Bergsturz. Das Ereignis am 28. Mai 2025 war ein tiefer Einschnitt in ihrem Leben. Wie geht es dem Paar heute? Welche Spuren hat der Bergsturz in der Seele und im Alltag hinterlassen? Charlotte Kalbermatten wagt einen beruflichen Neustart. Und Lukas Kalbermatten weibelt bereits für das neue Blatten VS. Der polternde Berg «Einstein» fliegt mit dem Glaziologen Daniel Farinotti hoch zum Kleinen Nesthorn. Diesem Berg, der am Anfang der Katastrophe von Blatten VS stand, der mit seinen Felsstürzen den Gletscherkollaps Ende Mai 2025 ausgelöst hat. Nun ist es Mitte August und seine Nordflanke ist noch immer alles andere als ruhig. Was das für die Gefahren im Tal bedeutet und warum der Berg noch immer so unruhig ist, kann der ETH-Glaziologe dank Rund-um-die-Uhr-Überwachung erklären. Eine wichtige Rolle spielt der tauende Permafrost. Der war auch beteiligt am Absturz des Kleinen Nesthorns. Wie der Gletscher abstürzte Klar ist unterdessen auch, dass das Eis des Birchgletschers relativ warm war, bevor er kollabiert ist. «Das war, wie wenn man einen Eiswürfel aus dem Eistee nimmt und auf den Tisch legt. Der rutscht dann auf dem Tisch umher», erklärt Farinotti. So ist der Gletscher unter dem Druck der abgestürzten Felsen regelrecht weggeglitten. Blatten VS ist nicht allein mit den Gefahren Unweit vom Lötschental liegt Randa VS. Das Dorf im Mattertal wurde schon als gefährdetstes Dorf der Alpen beschrieben. Denn wie in Blatten VS drohen Gletscherabbrüche, dazu gewaltige Hangrutschungen. Untersuchungen des Kantons zeigen: Auch hier ist der tauende Permafrost massgeblich beteiligt. Blatten VS und Randa VS mögen Extrembeispiele sein. Doch immer mehr Bergdörfer sind von Naturgefahren bedroht. «Einstein» will wissen, was das für die Menschen in den Dörfern bedeutet. Überwachung von oben Die zunehmenden Gefahren haben auch das Bundesamt für Umwelt auf den Plan gerufen. Radarsatelliten sollen zukünftig grossflächig überwachen können. Aktuell werden Daten gesammelt. Radarsatelliten haben bereits mitgeholfen, neue Rutschgebiete im Kanton Bern zu identifizieren. Wenn Ende Jahr mit der Publikation der Ergebnisse auch schweizweit weitere Gebiete hinzukämen, wäre das keine Überraschung. Die Zukunft von Blatten VS Dass Blatten trotz allem eine Zukunft hat, daran glauben sowohl der Glaziologe Daniel Farinotti wie auch der Hotelier Lukas Kalbermatten. Farinotti stützt sich auf neueste Messungen. Diese zeigen: Der Schuttkegel entwickelt sich besser als erwartet. Und der Berg wird ruhiger. Kalbermatten steckt mitten in der Planung für ein modulares Hotel, das zuerst auf der Lauchernalp und später im neuen Blatten VS stehen soll.

The final ending discussed is the slow demise of the Norsesettlement in Greenland, settled by Erik the Red around 985 AD. Herjolfsnes, one of the last settled places, provides poignant evidence from its graveyard. Due to permafrost, the coarse, mended woolen clothes (vaðmál) of the last generations, dating up to the early 15th century, were preserved. These garments reveal the increasing isolation and poverty of the inhabitants as climate conditions worsened. The ultimate mystery remains what happened to the very last people after the final burials. The final surviving reports from Greenland via Iceland are a 1407 witch burning (of a man seduced by witchcraft) and a 1408 wedding.

The Trump Administration is putting offshore wind energy on hold by canceling grants, cutting tax credits and revoking permits for projects that are nearly complete. We discuss the economic impacts to port communities and the view that the US is ceding the opportunity to be a global leader in renewable energy. Also, with the Arctic warming four times as fast as the rest of the globe, and fires now routinely burning large swaths of northern forests, carbon stored in permafrost is rapidly escaping into the atmosphere where it can warm the planet even faster. How Indigenous cultural practices can help protect this vital resource. And human-made noise is bad for our health, disrupts our natural world, and hinders our ability to connect with one another. The book Clamor: How Noise Took Over the World and How We Can Take It Back explores the hidden costs of unwanted sound and advocates for turning down the volume on human-made noise. --- You can help support our free public radio show and podcast, for free, by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts.

Dieses neuartige Projekt wurde dann aber jahrelang verzögert, und kleinere Teile der Bevölkerung bekämpfen es immer noch, unter anderem aus Angst, eine Geothermie-Anlage könnte Erdbeben auslösen. Mittlerweile steht die Baustelle in Haute-Sorne, das erste Loch wurde plangemäss gebohrt und in 4 Kilometern Tiefe steht ein Test bevor, der die Gretchen-Frage beantworten soll: Werden Erdbeben (wie in Basel und St.Gallen) bald wieder einen vorzeitigen Abbruch der Übung erzwingen oder – kann es weitergehen? 19:57 Zuchterfolg bei heimischen Bachmuscheln Einst war die Bachmuschel im ganzen Mittelland verbreitet. Doch schon vor hundert Jahren begann sie zu verschwinden, erst langsam, dann immer schneller. Heute kommt die Bachmuschel nur noch in einer Handvoll Bäche vor, sie ist vom Aussterben bedroht. Nach langjährigen, erfolglosen Versuchen hat es 2024 im Kanton Zürich erstmals geklappt rund 20 erbsengrosse Muscheln zu züchten. Dieser Erfolg ist auch für andere Kantone interessant - als national prioritäre Art, muss die Bachmuschel nämlich überall gefördert werden. In Zürich läuft nun der zweite Zucht-Versuch – wir waren vor Ort.

Risse im Berg, notfallmässig muss ein ganzes Dorf evakuiert werden. Gründe für den Bergsturz in Blatten gibt es viele, noch ist aber vieles unklar. Robert Kenner forscht beim Institut für Schnee und Lawinenforschung zur Alpinen Umwelt und Naturgefahren. Sind beispielsweise im Gebirge Böden dauerhaft gefroren, dann spricht man von Permafrost. Dieser ist im Gegensatz zu Gletschern nicht sichtbar. Er spielt für die Stabilität der Hänge, für die Hydrologie und Naturgefahren eine wichtige Rolle. Unterdessen sind grosse Flächen dieses Permafrostes in den Schweizer Alpen aufgetaut. Weitere Faktoren für Fels- oder Bergstürze kann auch die Gravitation sein, eine Ermüdung des Felsens oder wenn der Gletscher erodiert und die Spannung sich verlagert. Wie verändern sich unsere Alpen momentan? Was geschieht in Brienz, sind diese beiden Ereignisse vergleichbar? Robert Kenner ist zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.
