Laugh Tracks Legends of Comedy with Randy and Steve

If we were playing television trivia and said "Sally Rogers" you would say "Rose Marie" -- this week's legend. But there was a whole lot more to Rose Marie than her role as a comedy writer on The Dick Van Dyke show. A child singing sensation, Rose Marie spent time on the vaudeville circuit, eventually making it to Broadway with a featured role in South Pacific. She frequently guested on early tv sitcoms before she landed the role of a lifetime and became part of television history along with Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Morey Amsterdam, Carl Reiner, and Richard Deacon. In particular, Rose Marie's Sally Rogers and Morey Amsterdam's Buddy Sorrell were fan favorites and appeared from time to time as a duo act. When Rose Marie died, Nell Scovell, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, said that Rose Marie's Sally Rogers was the "patron saint of female comedy writers." Not a bad way to be remembered! As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Rose Marie? Rose Marie got her start as a child singing sensation (known as Baby Rose Marie) -- and here is one of her hits. https://youtu.be/XGBqxkqAvMk?si=4yB0AhtS2YppRZfW Rose Marie landed a prime role in the Broadway production of Top Banana back in 1951 as well as the 1954 movie version. Here she is at a 1978 Johnny Mercer retrospective, singing her spotlight song from that show.https://youtu.be/NYWcwPMArXg?si=QyT0ebw4dZL_CC-2 Rose Marie and Morey Amsterdam sometime reprised their Sally and Buddy act for live audiences including this fun spot on the Hollywood Palace. You even get Groucho Marx as the host. https://youtu.be/cQik0KEpgZY?si=Qn_SQ8hT2WHEZYIP Rose Marie and Morey Amsterdam appeared together in a sweet episode of Caroline in the City in 1996. (It also turned out to be one of Morey's final appearances).https://youtu.be/zMNHiXrGqDk?si=7VO-SABFUGUTK2An

EPISODE 61 - “FAVORITE CLASSIC FILMS OF THE 1960s” - 11/11/2024 The decade of the 1960s was an exciting time in filmmaking. The stodgy studio contract system was starting to give way to a new crop of independent cinematic auteurs, often associated with the "New Hollywood" era, include: Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman, Sam Peckinpah, Arthur Penn, John Cassavetes, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and Peter Bogdanovich. These films were edgier and pushed the creative boundaries and social themes to reflect the changing times.

“Marion Verboom” Chryséléphantineà La Verrière – Fondation d'entreprise Hermès, Bruxellesdu 9 février au 22 avril 2023Interview de Marion Verboom, artiste, et de Joël Riff, chargé de la programmation de La Verrière,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Bruxelles, le 8 février 2023, durée 10'02.© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2023/02/09/3382_marion-verboom_la-verriere-fondation-d-entreprise-hermes/Communiqué de presse Commissariat :Joël Riff, chargé de la programmation de La VerrièreAvec Richard Deacon, Tjok Dessauvage, Henri Laurens, Amélie Lucas-Gary, Maude Maris, touche-touche et Chloé VernereyPremière exposition de Joël Riff en tant que commissaire de La Verrière, « Chryséléphantine » célèbre la sculpture composite. Son foisonnement tient autant de la combinaison gourmande de matériaux que de la compilation encyclopédique de motifs. L'événement marque la première exposition personnelle en Belgique de l'artiste française Marion Verboom, et se propose de mettre en perspective sa production en présentant le travail de sept autres personnalités. Articulant prêt d'oeuvres existantes et nouvelles productions inspirées par un séjour bruxellois, l'accrochage embrasse une diversité de médiums, et associe statuaire cubiste, huile sur toile, céramique tournée, mobilier et texte, au travail de modelage et de moulage de Marion Verboom. Cette étape inaugurale de la nouvelle programmation de La Verrière coïncide avec la réinvention de sa publication, conçue comme un prolongement à part entière de l'espace d'exposition.Le terme « chryséléphantine » est employé dans l'entretien de Marion Verboom, publié dans les pages de sa monographie tout récemment imprimée(1). Et elle rajoute : « Ce qui m'avait interloquée dans ce terme découvert sur un cartel à Delphes, c'est la dichotomie entre la petite fleur légère et le pachyderme épais, synthétisée en un seul mot. »Ce solo de Marion Verboom manifeste une décennie de familiarité avec le commissaire Joël Riff, marquée par une première collaboration en 2012 pour l'exposition collective « Outre-forêt #4 » à l'espace indépendant 6b à Saint-Denis, suivie des projets « Duetto » en 2020 puis « Faire essaim » en 2021 à Moly-Sabata (Sablons, France). Joël Riff a rédigé un portrait alors qu'il nommait l'artiste au Prix Aware en 2019. Il a mentionné ses actualités dans une dizaine de chroniques Curiosité ainsi que dans la Revue de la céramique et du verre et a mené l'entretien de sa monographie aux éditions Dilecta en 2022. Déjà complice d'Amélie Lucas-Gary et de Maude Maris, il amorce à l'occasion de « Chryséléphantine » de premières conversations avec Richard Deacon, Tjok Dessauvage, touche-touche et Chloé Vernerey.(1.)

Date with the Angels is an American sitcom that aired on ABC from May 10, 1957, to January 29, 1958. The series, which stars Betty White and Bill Williams, began as a late season replacement for The Ray Anthony Show for the same sponsor, Chrysler's Plymouth division. Tom Kennedy was the show's announcer and spokesman for Plymouth. Synopsis. The series revolves around newly married Vicki Angel and her insurance salesman husband Gus Angel who get themselves and their friends and neighbors into various comedic situations. Besides Betty White and Bill Williams, the series also featured for several episodes Richard Deacon, Richard Reeves, Maudie Prickett and Burt Mustin. Among the series' guest stars were Nancy Kulp, Madge Blake, Joan Vohs, Chuck Connors, Reta Shaw, Dave Willock, Sid Melton, Russell Hicks, Hugh O'Brian, Hanley Stafford, and Willard Waterman. The show's theme song was "Got A Date With An Angel", a semi-standard introduction in 1932 and long associated with the orchestra of Hal Kemp. Date with the Angels was loosely based on the Elmer Rice play Dream Girl, and the series was originally intended to revolve heavily around Vicki's daydreaming tendencies, with more than half of a typical episode dedicated to fantasy sequences. However, the sponsor was not pleased with the fantasy elements and successfully exerted pressure to have them eliminated. "Without our dream sequences," White later said, "our show flattened out and became just one more run-of-the-mill domestic comedy[...]I can honestly say that was the only time I have ever wanted to get out of a show." The series produced 33 filmed episodes before it was canceled in late January 1958. White fulfilled her series commitment by reviving her previous live variety/comedy show, The Betty White Show, for the rest of the season.

We dissect what went wrong and what it means for the art world. And from the sad to the ridiculous, we couldn't pass by the story of the disgruntled art critic who accidentally destroyed an artwork she openly disliked at Zona Maco fair in Mexico. Finally, breaking from tradition our Artist Focus is actually a group: the Women Impressionists. We welcome the long-overdue attention given to the female artists who contributed to famous art movements, and this episode we celebrate two key Impressionists: Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt.

LISTEN HERE: ITUNES | OVERCAST My guest today is Paul Cooper, who spends his days exploring ancient and modern ruins.  I’m going to begin this introduction with a hot take: Paul has one of the best Twitter accounts in the world. Ruins are special. They freeze a moment in time forever. They remind us of the shortness of life and the inevitable entropy of history. Paul's book, River of Ink, is predicated on the idea of bringing ancient cities back to life in a fictional context. In this episode, we talk about the academy in the internet age, compare functional and sacred architecture, and dream about time travel. We explore the strange and perplexing history of the Roman Colosseum and investigate letters written on clay tablets in ancient Mesopotamia. And now, I invite you to enjoy this journey through space and time, as we explore the many shades of human history. Note: Since I enjoyed this podcast so much, I wrote a short blog post about it.

And if you enjoyed this episode, you’ll like the episode with Tyler Cowen, a columnist at Bloomberg who writes about economics, history and culture. In the Two Blundering Fools episode, Tyler shares seriously counterintuitive points on travel, the millennial generation and how he thinks about the future. Quotes “Every ruin is a place where a physical object was torn apart and that happened because of some historical force. If a building is ruined, an economic ruin, a closed down factory, it’s been blown up by a bomb, or it’s been abandoned because people moved away-It’s because huge historical forces have washed over it. Each ruin shows a place where the future was just suddenly cancelled. The next day didn’t happen, it was just a ruin. So, each one is a window into a particular historical moment where something changed. That’s what really fascinates me everyday about them.”  “Writing is such an incredible thing. It restructures the way we think. Once you know how to read, it’s impossible not to. If I showed you a page of words and said don’t read this, you wouldn’t be able to. Your brain has been forever changed by being taught the ability to read. The ability to store information outside of our brains suddenly frees us up to do a whole load of incredible things. A pre-literate society has a certain amount of knowledge passed down from the ancestors, who have gathered that knowledge very carefully. And we have to expand so much effort to keep that knowledge together. We have to put it in lists, make it rhyme, do it in patterns. All of these things simplify and help us remember the knowledge passed down from the ancestors. Once we can write down on clay or paper and make the material remember for us, we’re freed up to do a whole load of interesting things like examine philosophy or mathematics.” “When people in previous ages have looked at ruins, what they see is what we’ve been describing. There was a cataclysmic event, something went wrong here, and they try to tell stories about why that might have happened…Ruins don’t mean anything by themselves. They seem like a kind of place that slightly resists meaning. People try to give meaning to them. They try to tell stories about them that make sense about what must have happened.” “Everyone who comes to a ruin brings a different perspective and a different story and a different meaning. And all the time, the ruin is just sitting there, kind of meaning nothing. It doesn’t mean anything by itself. It needs somebody to come along and give it meaning. And so in that way, the ruin forms a battle ground. Everybody is in this five way tug of war about what this crumbling mass of bricks in the desert means and that’s what makes them incredible places to study.”

Der 1949 in Wales geborene Richard Deacon kann auf ein vier Jahrzehnte umspannendes, breites bildhauerisches Werk zurückblicken, was ihm letztes Jahr die Ehre einer Retrospektive in der Tate Britain in London zuteil werden liess. In Winterthur ist er auf verschiedene Weise präsent, am augenfälligsten durch die grosse Aussenskulptur Footfall, die auf Initiative des Galerievereins, Freunde des Kunstmuseums Winterthur, im Frühling 2013 zur Hundertjahrfeier des Vereins aufgestellt wurde und seither den kleinen Platz neben dem Kunstmuseum prägt. 2014 publizierte das Kunstmuseum eine Ausgabe von Deacons Schriften, und auch in der Sammlung des Museums ist er mit einer Gruppe von Werken präsent, so dass die aktuelle Ausstellung mit der Präsentation von über 40 Arbeiten des Künstlers aus den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten hier anschliessen kann.Der Titel der Ausstellung, On The Other Side, wurde vom Künstler selbst gewählt und weist darauf hin, dass seine Werke nicht den üblichen Gesetzen der Bildhauerei folgen. Anstatt für eine vorgefasste Formidee das passende Material zu suchen, geht Deacon genau umgekehrt vor und entwickelt seine Skulpturen ausgehend von verschiedenen Materialien in einer spielerischen Auseinandersetzung mit deren Eigenschaften und den Techniken ihrer Verarbeitung. Dabei ist sein Vorgehen ziemlich unkonventionell, denn er lotet nicht nur die einem Material inhärenten Möglichkeiten aus, sondern findet darin vielmals Eigenschaften anderer Materialien, nötigt sie seinen Werkstoffen zuweilen geradezu ab – Holz zeigt sich so flexibel wie Metall, Keramik so geschmeidig wie Textil. Er sei kein klassischer Bildhauer oder Plastiker, meinte er einmal, sondern einer, der etwas fabriziert. Da er den Materialien in seinen aufwendigen Arbeiten einiges abverlangt, benötigt er Partner: Beim Holzbauer werden Bretter und Balken verformt und zu komplexen Gebilden zusammengesetzt, in Stahlbaufirmen werden in aufwendigen Verfahren Bleche geschnitten, miteinander verschweisst und poliert, und in der Keramikwerkstatt werden nach kleinen Modellen grosse Tonformen gebaut, die durch Glasieren und Brennen ihre endgültige Gestalt erhalten – monumental oder klein und zierlich, in organischen oder in konstruierten Formen. Bei aller Unterschiedlichkeit in der Anmutung zeigen die Skulpturen doch eine Gemeinsamkeit, denn sie erweisen sich als logisch organisierte und dennoch überraschende Objekte: “What you see is what you get”, so kommentierte Deacon seine Arbeiten. Doch ebenso wichtig wie sein Verständnis für technische Prozesse ist sein poetisches Interesse an den metaphorischen Bedeutungen der Formen, das ihn immer wieder zum Verfassen von Werktiteln und Texten veranlasst.

Richard Deacon, 1949 in Wales geboren, bezeichnet sich selbst nicht als Bildhauer, sondern als “fabricator”. Damit weist er darauf hin, dass er nicht an ein klassisches Bildhauermaterial gebunden ist – Holz, Stein, Bronze –, sondern dass er Gegenstände aus verschiedensten Materialien baut oder eben fabriziert. Und wie er selbst sagt, versteht er das Fabrizieren in seinen mehrfachen Bedeutungen, er stellt etwas her, er erfindet etwas. Das heisst, dass er in bald vierzig Jahren Arbeit immer wieder neue Ansätze gefunden hat, anstatt sich einem bestimmten Stil oder image zu verschreiben. Mit Deacon zu arbeiten, ist deshalb spannend, denn es gibt kein Werk ab der Stange, er beginnt stets von vorn und ganz praktisch – nicht mit Zeichnungen, er arbeitet unmittelbar mit Material, bis daraus ein Modell wird. Ob er für die Winterthurer Skulptur von einem Kegelschnitt oder einfach von einem gefalteten und zusammengeklebten Kartonstreifen ausging, ist unerheblich. Jedenfalls erzeugen die Knicke im Material eine zickzackförmige in sich geschlossene Silhouette. Dann wird es aber bereits komplizierter, assymetrisch, divergierend..., doch es macht nicht viel Sinn, das formale Raffinement zu beschreiben, wenn man nicht vor der Skulptur steht. Was nämlich an ihr vor allem fasziniert, ist die Tatsache, dass sie einen Schritt für Schritt überrascht. Von der einen Seite her gesehen, zeigt sie eine hart konturierte Oeffnung, bildet eine Linie, von der anderen her erscheint sie als Volumen – der Uebergang vollzieht sichunmerklich. Die Figur richtet sich steil auf, wirkt stabil wie eine Wand und unversehens scheint sie aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten und dem Kippen nahe. Sie ist kein stilles Monument, sie will gesehen werden und gibt dem Betrachter vielerlei Ansichten zurück.Was wäre aber eine Aussenskulptur ohne ihren Standort. Ihre Wirkung beruht nicht allein auf ihrer Form, sie entfaltet sich erst, wenn sie richtig plaziert ist. Eine Skulptur stellt man sich meist auf einer Wiese vor. Doch Deacon suchte für sein Werk etwas anderes als die beschauliche Ansicht aus der Distanz, er war aus auf das, was er mit dem schönen englischen Wort “thoroughfare” benennt, den Durchgang, den Verkehr, das Hin und Her der Leute. Dafür war der Asphaltstreifen zwischen Alt- und Neubau wie geschaffen, der eigentlich weder dem Parkieren, noch der Feuerwehr noch einem anderen Zweck diente, sondern ein von den Architekten der Renovation geschaffenes Niemandsland war. Auf diesem Grund begegnet man der Skulptur auf Augenhöhe, und sie wiederum zeigt einem weder eine Vorder- noch eine Rückseite, sie ist allseitig zugänglich, steht allseitig im Licht.

Like many of his generation, Richard Deacon adopted Marcel Duchamp’s proposition that titles were an extra colour on the artist’s palette. In using language in this way the younger artists of the 1970s put distance between themselves and the abstract artists who came before them (who often labelled everything ‘Untitled’). ‘Listening to reason’ is a case in point.1 The shape of the work describes five double loosely ear-shaped curves, connected by twisting pieces of laminated wood to make one continuous line. The title encourages us to think of a circle of people listening to an argument, each connected to the other but all slightly differently. It is far from being a symmetrical form; each section is joined by twisting connections that appear to be arranged at random. The line is made up of multiple layers of laminated ply, which have been glued together in sections and clamped onto forms that give them their twisting motion. Deacon has left the hardened glue that squeezed out of the laminations as a trace of the process, thereby adhering to a principle of truth to materials and processes. The plain, glowing yellow surface of the ply against the beige colour of the glue in the side grain of the wood helps to reveal the twisting body of the loops. The sections were then bolted together through offset joints, once again making a virtue out of the visible process to articulate the form. The resulting curves and loops defy imagination. The piece is like a five-fold moebius strip but some-how it all comes together into a convincing whole. When asked how he had visualised this complex form in order to be able to make up the necessary jigs and formwork, he acknowledged that he never visualised it as a whole. It seems that he had the twisting straight sections lying around waiting to become a star-shaped work. On the other side of the studio were the five ear shapes destined for another work. Living with these forms, he eventually realised that they would fit together with a few minor modifications and the resulting sculpture is what we see here.2 There is an interesting parallel between this accidental juxtaposition and the working methodology of assemblage artists such as Haim Steinbach or Janet Laurence. Sculptors of this kind accumulate objects and materials in the studio and one day bring them together to make something new. This aspect of chance encounters belies the purely formal aesthetic that most American art aspired to at this time and leans towards a history of European surrealism, in particular to Duchamp’s theory of chance.3 1. This work was first reserved by the AGNSW in 1986 but only acquired when it was brought out for the 1988 Biennale of Sydney 2. Conversation noted by the author after a studio visit with Deacon in 1987 3.

Curator insights - Contemporary galleries

During the 1980s Anish Kapoor, along with his British counterparts Richard Deacon, Tony Cragg, Antony Gormley and others, significantly challenged prevailing sculptural practices. Referred to as New British Sculpture, their respective work (although largely unrelated) shifted away from the purely conceptual or minimal art that had dominated the previous decades to embrace lyricism and metaphor, and to reconfigure the relationship between subject, object and viewer. Kapoor was an influential figure in this development. From brightly coloured pigments spread over abstract bodily forms to concave mirror pieces and enormous sculptural installations, Kapoor’s sculpture is about sensory experiences. He makes sculptural forms which pervade or hold physical space and which deliberately explore metaphysical dualities such as light and darkness, earth and sky, mind and body. For Kapoor, space is not empty; rather it is full of meaning and potential, and it is this paradox that he explores in material and abstract terms. Since the 1990s Kapoor’s work has been concerned with the expression of negative space: openings and cavities which are often referred to as voids. While his earlier pigment works were shapes with luminously coloured surfaces, ‘Void field’, a sculptural installation of four craggy blocks of quarried Northumbrian sandstone, elaborates an internal space of darkness. At the centre of each stone is a deep velvety hole coated with black pigment, which figuratively signifies a threshold, a space that portends to infinity. Peering into the aperture of each stone, the space within appears beyond measure, revealing a balanced tension between the earthly weight of rock and the nothingness suggested by the dark opening, or void. Kapoor’s voids have been likened both to wombs and to contemporary notions of the sublime. About his understanding of a ‘modern sublime’ Kapoor has said: ‘I have always been drawn toward some notion of fear in a very visual space, towards sensations of falling, of being pulled inwards, of losing one’s sense of self’.1 The black holes at the centre of each stone in ‘Void field’ function in this way; their darkness is conspicuous and entrancing, denoting the amorphous margins between human perception and cognition. Similar sensations are invoked by Kapoor’s suite of prints ‘Blackness from her womb’ 2001 (AGNSW collection). Here, the void is literally associated with the womb, whose function is to harbour life. The yellows and reds that dominated Kapoor’s early work return, transformed more obviously into abstracted female sexual iconography. The aquatint bleeds into forms, dissolving and sometimes imploding their structure. In the unresolved play and metamorphosis between interior and exterior spaces and darkness and light, ‘Blackness from her womb’ is a graphic synthesis of Kapoor’s ideas. 1.
