Journalist and author Michael Scott Moore's interest in piracy emerged from research conducted for his first novel, 2010's Sweetness and Blood, which traces the history and spread of surfing from pre-colonial Hawaii to the rest of the world. His interest in the issue spiked when a trial of ten Somali pirates began in Germany in 2010—the first time in 400 years that pirates had appeared in a European court. As the trial ran on, Moore became set on researching piracy outside the confines of a western judicial system, leading him to travel to Somalia in 2011, funded by a crisis reporting grant provided by the Pulitzer Foundation. In January of 2012, he was taken hostage by a local pirate group in Galkayo, and remained captive for more than two years. In this episode, Moore talks with show host Jamie Brisick about the devolution of hope into fatalism, the importance of remembering trauma, stoicism, his memoir The Desert and the Sea (2018), and learning to live with what you have. 

Ja även detta opinionsbildningspris sjunger ju på sista vers... Donald Trump: "Du måste förstå, David - och jag förklarar detta för henne också, jag förklarar för vem som helst, jag var under belägring av den falska Rysslands-, Rysslands-, Rysslandsutredningen och Mueller-bluffen och alla dessa saker. Jag var under belägring och jag måste slå tillbaka. Så vissa människor skulle säga, wow, varför bråkar han alltid? Jo, du måste kämpa annars skulle du göra det – jag sparkade Comey, jag blev av med McCabe och alla dessa människor som var så hemska att jag menar bara hemskt för vårt land och många av dem och många andra, och slog Deep State. Jag kämpar mot Deep State och vinner. Du kan inte bara vara en riktig, jag tycker att jag är en väldigt trevlig person men om vi ska vinna måste vi vara tuffa och vi måste slå tillbaka. Och återigen var jag under belägring och jag förklarade att för folk så fort jag förklarade det så håller de alltid med. Och illegal belägring. Det kom precis ut i Twitter-filer att situationen i Ryssland var en total bluff. Vi visste det ändå, men det var en total bluff och nu erkänner de det alla och de borde ärligt talat ge tillbaka sina Pulitzer Awards. De fick Pulitzer-priset för att rapportera om Ryssland och rapporteringen var exakt de falska nyhetsmedierna och Washington Post och New York Times och rapporteringen om Ryssland var faktiskt helt fel. Det var precis tvärtom. Och de borde lämna tillbaka dem och vi är faktiskt i en rättstvist med Pulitzer Foundation om det eftersom vi tycker att det är löjligt att de ger Pulitzerpriset till människor, de har fel, och nu är det allt de har fel. Så låt oss se vad som händer. För att de tappade mycket trovärdighet, Pulitzer. Så det är, jag menar, i grund och botten måste du slå tillbaka och när du slår tillbaka, vill jag slåss för att vinna, jag vill vinna för landet, jag vill vinna för folket och jag kunde se att Kellyanne sa att han var t väldigt trevligt men jag vill inte vara snäll. Det här är människor som är ligister. De är väldigt sjuka och väldigt dåliga människor och om jag slår tillbaka så låter du inte så trevlig som du borde men vi vinner alla tillsammans.

Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works talks about the firm's first museum commission- the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis. The Contemporary is a non-collecting exhibition, educational and event space in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The site is located in the Grand Center District, adjacent to the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts. Together, the institutions are a focal point for the arts community in St. Louis and a catalyst for the redevelopment of the surrounding neighborhood. The Contemporary’s mission is not to preserve, but to provoke: presenting work from noted artists such as Maya Lin, Bruce Nauman and Cindy Sherman, as well as emerging contemporary artists.The two-story, 27,000 sf museum provides open, flexible space for exhibitions and programs while emphasizing transparency at ground level. The building is formed by two intersecting ribbons of concrete and stainless steel mesh that weave and overlap to define the principal volumes. The lower walls bound the museum and create a series of large interconnecting galleries. The walls alternately delineate the site boundaries and fold inwards, inviting the public to enter and providing views through the building from the neighboring streets. The upper walls span above the galleries, providing spaces for administration and education. Between these walls, ceiling planes are held at varying heights to create variations in scale, proportion and enclosure, providing a diversity of day lighting conditions and curatorial opportunities.This building is a simultaneous act of enclosure and invitation, allowing the landscape to flow through the entire site, while tenuously capturing and containing rooms for art. The museum is not a privileged domain, but an open field that concentrates the forces of the city in preparation for later occupation by the artists.

The Pulitzer's exhibition guide is available online for free; the exhibition website also includes a reading list, a video walkthrough, and more. On the second segment, we continue our consideration of the opening installations in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's new, Steven Holl-designed, 237,000-square-foot Kinder Building.

Episode No. 454 features art historian Diane Waggoner and curator and historian Paul Farber. Waggoner is the author of "Lewis Carroll's Photography and Modern Childhood" which is new from Princeton University Press.

On the second segment, Farber discusses Monument Lab's recent two-year research residency at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts in Saint Louis. Farber is the co-founder of Monument Lab, a public art and history studio that cultivates conversations around civic monuments.

This episode of Monument Lab, we recorded live from the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis, where Monument Lab has a research residency this summer. As a part of Public Iconographies, we are mapping monuments of St. Louis with a research team at the museum, in parks, and public spaces around the whole city, as a part of the Pulitzer’s Striking Power exhibition. To kickoff this project, we spoke to a trio of artists – Matt Joynt, Anthony Romero, and Josh Rios – as they prepared for their own exercise in mapping. Their project, Not Peaceable and Quiet (Piñata Sound System), includes the outfitting of a bike with a booming sound system and other purposeful flair. It is part of the Counterpublic neighborhood triennal in St. Louis on and around Cherokee Street, organized by the Luminary. The artists call it a “counter monument.” It takes up space, physically, and also is fully realized when participants pedal it around, moving the soundtrack with them. Not Peaceable and Quiet doesn’t just use any bike – they transformed a retired bicycle previously used by a bike-sharing company that had left the St. Louis market and its fleet of 750 dockless bikes behind. The artists’ goal is to call attention to the failings of “on-demand lifestyle,” and policing of black and brown communities around calls for silence and order. In turn, they want to mark resistance through sound. “Music that we chose, becomes a way to map the resiliency of these peoples who are being exploited, who are being dehumanized, but who find a way to transcend,” says Romero. We recorded this episode live at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in late May 2019, the night before Not Peaceable and Quiet premiered at Counterpublic.

Catherine Woods has a visceral passion for color. She shares the possibilities of ever-changing light through large-scale glass sculptures that change from every angle, and shift their appearance by day and by night. In a conversation rich with laughter, Catherine details the work involved in public art commissions that combine art with engineering and construction crews. She explains the practicalities of leaving a secure job for a full-time art career, and the work required to push beyond simply ‘okay’ ideas to discover sparks that both scare and excite her as an artist. Catherine shares the lure of creating small-scale models and monumental sculptures, of using cutting-edge technology but knowing when to work by hand. She studies the history of art while constantly exploring adventurous new art around the world.

This week: After an inexcusably self-indulgent, alcohol fueled intro where Duncan, Richard, Dana and Emily and Nick from ACRE join us, we get on to an excellent interview.
