Curator Sukanya Rajaratnam and biographer Jon Ott weld together African American culture and 20th century Western/European modernism, through Richard Hunt's 1956 sculpture, Hero's Head.Born on the South Side of Chicago, sculptor Richard Hunt (1935-2023) was immersed in the city's culture, politics, and architecture. At the major exhibition, Sculpture of the Twentieth Century, which travelled from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 1953, he engaged with the works of artists Julio González, Pablo Picasso, and Constantin Brâncuși - encounters with Western/European modernism, that ‘catalysed' his use of metal, as the medium of his time and place.Hero's Head (1956), one of Richard's earliest mature works, was the first among many artistic responses dedicated to the legacy of Emmett Till. The previous year, Hunt joined over 100,000 mourners in attendance of the open-casket visitation of Till, a 14-year-old African American boy whose brutal lynching in Mississippi marked a seismic moment in national history. Modestly scaled to the dimensions of a human head, and delicately resting on a stainless-steel plinth, the welded steel sculpture preserves the image of Till's mutilated face. Composed of scrap metal parts, with dapples of burnished gold, it reflects the artist's use of found objects, and interest in ancient Greek and Roman mythology, which characterise his later works.With the first major European exhibition, and posthumous retrospective, of Richard's work at White Cube in London, curators Sukanya Rajaratnam and Jon Ott delve into the artist's prolific career. We critically discuss their diasporic engagement with cultural heritage; Richard collected over one thousand works of 'African art', referenced in sculptures like Dogonese (1985), and soon travelled to the continent for exhibitions like 10 Negro Artists from the US in Dakar, Senegal (1965). Jon details the reception of Richard's work, and engagement with the natural environment, connecting the ‘red soil' of Africa to agricultural plantations worked by Black slaves in southern America. We look at their work in a concurrent group exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, which retraces the presence and influence of Black artists in Paris, and considers the city as a ‘mobile site', highlighting the back-and-forth exchanges between artists, media, and movements like abstract expressionism. Shared forms are found in the works of French painters, Wangechi Mutu's Afrofuturist bronzes, and Richard's contemporaries practicing in France, Spain, Italy, and England.Plus, LeRonn P. Brooks, Curator at the Getty Research Institute, details Richard's ongoing legacies in public sculpture, and commemorations of those central to the Civil Rights Movement, including Martin Luther King Jr., Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Mary McLeod Bethune, Hobart Taylor Jr., and Jesse Owens.Richard Hunt: Metamorphosis is at White Cube Bermondsey in London until 29 June 2025.Paris Noir: Artistic circulations and anti-colonial resistance, 1950 – 2000 is at the Centre Pompidou in Paris until 30 June 2025.Listen to Sylvia Snowden at White Cube Paris, in the EMPIRE LINES episode on M Street (1978-1997).Hear more about Wangechi Mutu's This second dreamer (2017), with Ekow Eshun, curator of the touring exhibition, The Time is Always Now (2024).For more about Dogonese and ‘African masks' from Mali, listen to ⁠Manthia Diawara⁠, co-curator of The Trembling Museum at the Hunterian in Glasgow, part of ⁠PEACE FREQUENCIES 2023⁠.For more about ‘Negro Arts' exhibitions in Dakar, Senegal, read about Barbara Chase-Riboud: Infinite Folds at the Serpentine in London.For more about Black Southern Assemblage, hear Raina Lampkins-Felder, curator at the Souls Grown Deep Foundation and Royal Academy in London, on the Quiltmakers of Gee's Bend (20th Century-Now).

During that time she appeared in the recent Lyric Hammersmith production of “Our Country's Good” by Timberlake Wertenbaker. A play that looked the mass exile of prisoners to Australia in the 1780s and the impact it had on its cultural landscape. Widely considered one of the greatest plays of our time. She was praised for her voice giving “weight to the story and an insight from the Earth, land, water, air and the Indigenous communities. Her voice, soft and lyrical, is a welcome relief when she wafts on stage to share an entirely different language and truth” (review by Nilgün Yusuf). As well as this she has appeared in:We Will Rock YouInto the WoodsCome From AwayRocky Horror Picture ShowDeadloch - Amazon PrimeThe Sunshine Club among many more!We discuss her time at the Royal Academy of Music, moving to London, the impact of “Our Country's Good” and our mutual love of Australia!Oliver GowerSpotlight Link: https://www.spotlight.com/9097-9058-5261Instagram: @goweroliverFor enquiries and requests: olliegower10@gmail.comPlease Like, Download and Subscribe ✍️

  Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Michael Bogart has deep musical roots which spread through many boundaries as well as a career in music spanning decades.   Known primarily for his trumpet and trombone playing, he played the jazz trumpet chair (and conch shell) with the legendary Maynard Ferguson Big Bop Nouveau Big Band in the late 990's.   From 2000-2009 Michael was the lead trumpet, trombonist and background vocalist for soul super group Tower of Power and can be heard on several of their albums, including the critically acclaimed 40th Anniversary: The Fillmore Auditorium.   He has also recorded with artists as diverse as Aerosmith, Puff Daddy, and his mothers' favorite, Neil Diamond.   After taking a break from touring and recording to retire from the United States Navy, focus on his spiritual path and study jazz at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London, Michael has been busy composing and recording his own music.   His music is an earthy blend of soul influenced-straight ahead jazz and Hasidic Jewish nigunim (melodies). As well as being a Jewish Mensch.    

Aos 87, David Hockney, um dos artistas britânicos mais influentes dos séculos 20 e 21, continua ativo como nunca. Prova disso é a exposição “David Hockney, 25”, em cartaz na Fundação Louis Vuitton, em Paris, dedicada à sua produção dos últimos 25 anos. Patrícia Moribe, em ParisPela primeira vez no imponente prédio projetado por Frank Gehry, um artista ainda vivo ganha as honras da casa. As filas de entrada são longas, mas uma vez dentro do museu, os visitantes se espalham pelas onze salas em três andares, sem a sensação de acotovelamento diante das obras.São mais de 400 trabalhos expostos, geralmente de grandes proporções, entre pinturas, desenhos, fotografias, colagens, projeções e a sua paixão dos últimos anos – as pinturas feitas no telefone celular e tablet.  “Não se trata de uma retrospectiva, embora apresentemos uma espécie de prelúdio com obras célebres, como a famosa pintura da piscina, A Bigger Splash” (1967), explica Magdalena Gemra, da equipe de curadoria da fundação, entrevistada por Muriel Maloouf, da RFI, referindo-se ao quadro da fase californiana de Hockney, com muita luminosidade e referências à água. Outra pérola dessa época, também na mostra, é “Retrato de um Artista”, de 1972, arrematado em leilão em 2018 por US$ 90 milhões, valor recorde na época para um quadro de um artista ainda em vida.Mas o foco da exposição em Paris, explica Gemra, foi especialmente para as obras dos últimos 25 anos, incluindo quatro anos passados na Normandia, isolado durante a Covid, quando Hockney mergulhou na paisagem local e nos retratos das pessoas próximas a ele.A exposição começa com um grande letreiro de neon na parede: Remember you cannot cancel spring (“Lembre-se de que não se pode cancelar a primavera”), uma frase que Hockney escreveu para um grupo de amigos durante a pandemia, em 2020. “É uma mensagem alegre e esperançosa que queremos transmitir com a exposição. Mesmo diante das tragédias que todos vivemos, a obra de David transmite uma alegria que permanece”, disse Magdalena Gemra.O irrequieto Hockney participou ativamente de todas as etapas da montagem da exposição, passando pelas cores das paredes, até o catálogo. A equipe da fundação o visitou várias vezes em seu ateliê em Londres e o artista veio a Paris três vezes, sempre acompanhado de familiares e amigos.Sempre rebeldeDavid Hockney nasceu em 9 de julho de 1937, em Bradford, Inglaterra. Estudou na Royal Academy of Arts e foi apontado como um dos pioneiros da arte pop na Grã-Bretanha. Mudou-se nos anos 1960 para Los Angeles, também com temporadas em Londres e Paris.Na virada do século, ele voltou seus olhos e paletas para a Yorkshire natal, retratando o que via e sentia com aquarelas e óleos.Hockney sempre explorou técnicas diferentes, das tintas, passando pela foto, até a imagem digital, na qual virou referência.Influência“Em 2010, eu vi na Fundação Pierre Bergé e Yves Saint Laurent, em Paris, seus primeiros desenhos feitos no iPhone e fiquei muito impressionado”, diz o artista visual Fernando Barata, radicado em Paris e que também trabalha com imagens digitais. “Enquanto muitos artistas pop usavam a tecnologia como comentário sobre a cultura de massa e reprodução, mecânica, Hockney a incorporou em seu processo criativo. Para ele, um iPad não é apenas uma referência cultural, mas um suporte legítimo, um novo meio expressivo que merece a mesma seriedade da pintura tradicional”, apontou o artista. “Foi uma verdadeira alavanca para meus primeiros trabalhos digitais em iPad. A difusão instantânea das obras digitais criou um novo paradigma que desafia o modelo tradicional de galerias, marchands e leilões. Essa democratização dos meios de distribuição transformou a relação entre artistas e público, permitindo conexões diretas sem os intermediários tradicionais de sistema artístico”, diz Fernando Barata.A exposição também traz as paisagens grandiosas da natureza americana e muitos retratos, principalmente de amigos e pessoas próximas, como o companheiro e braço-direito Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima. O rebelde Hockney chegou a recusar uma condecoração e uma encomenda para pintar o retrato da rainha Elizabeth II.Na última sala, imersiva, suas criações para óperas passeiam pelas paredes. Os visitantes podem ficar onde quiserem, mas os locais mais disputados são as almofadas espalhadas pelo chão.Homossexual assumido e fumante inveterado, sempre com roupas coloridas e um sorriso no rosto, Hockney não para de se reinventar."David Hockney 25" fica em cartaz na Fundação Louis Vuitton, em Paris, até 31 de agosto de 2025.

The Go-To Food Podcast proudly introduces The Legends' Roundtable— a brand-new monthly series celebrating the chefs, kitchens, and ideas that have shaped modern gastronomy. Each episode, we gather some of the most respected names in the industry to reflect on where food has come from, where it's going, and what it truly means to dedicate a life to hospitality.For our inaugural Round Table, we are delighted to be hosted in the extraordinary Trinity restaurant where we are joined by Michelin starred legends, Adam Byatt of Trinity, Phil Howard of Elystan Street and John Williams of The Ritz to dive into Escoffier's Legacy and the timeless foundations that still underpin great kitchens today.In a lively and honest conversation, three legendary chefs open up about the evolution of the industry — from the old-school days when chefs could focus solely on craft, to today's harsher realities where financial precision is critical to survival. They explore the irreplaceable thrill of cooking, the unique rewards of creating something ephemeral yet deeply meaningful, and the hard balance between natural flair and disciplined technique.The discussion peels back the layers of what it really takes to be a great chef: the importance of marrying creativity with meticulousness, the subtle but crucial connection between cook and ingredient, and the difference between chefs driven by pure love of food and those who focus on process. They reflect on the irreplaceable role of mentorship, the pride in seeing protégés rise, and the deep emotional bonds forged through years of relentless service.With unforgettable stories from iconic kitchens, candid reflections on leadership and legacy, and plenty of laughs (and tart anecdotes) along the way, The Legends' Round Tables is a love letter to the world of food — and to everyone who has ever fallen in love with it.-----------Grab hold of the hottest reservations in town with the app ResX - https://www.resx.coSupport the incredible work of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts - https://royalacademyofculinaryarts.org.uk/ Hosted on Acast.

Ceri is joined by Richard Malone, a groundbreaking Irish artist whose work has been commissioned for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Permanent Collection and is held in MoMA. Coming from a working class background in Ireland, Malone talks about forging a unique creative path, rejecting conventional systems, embracing being an outsider and keeping artistic integrity despite opportunities for commercial success. KEY TAKEAWAYS The colours and materials in Richard's work connect directly to his experiences on building sites and his grandmother's textile work. Despite not following traditional paths, Richard's commitment to making work on his own terms has led to significant recognition, including being the first Irish artist commissioned for the Metropolitan Museum's Permanent Collection. Richard believes in maintaining complete creative control, rejecting commercial opportunities (including creative director positions) that would compromise his artistic integrity. For Richard, success means having the daily privilege to create in his studio rather than external validation, fame, or financial reward, which helps him maintain perspective. Richard views trust as essential to the creative process, crediting collaborators who created psychological safety for his most successful projects, including his Royal Academy installation. Coming from a working class background in Ireland has given Richard a different perspective on institutions like the Royal Academy, allowing him to approach them with both respect and necessary irreverence. Richard believes artists need to become comfortable with failure and rejection and accept things when they don’t happen the way you would like or expect. BEST MOMENTS "The further that you get from where you started, the more you realise the importance of those things in constructing who you end up becoming." "I think there is a part of me that really resists that art market in the way that I resisted the fashion system because it doesn't feel right to me.” "The real luxury and the real joy, which I don't think a lot of people understand now, is that I get to come and sit in a studio and make whatever I want in a day. That is unbelievable to me from where I have come from." "Like it reads immaculately, award, award, award, show, show, show, institution, institution, institution. But like, none of that was planned. And there's so much shit that's in between." "I've been rejected for everything at least once. And I think now when I get rejected for something, it means nothing. It means absolutely nothing to me. I'm just like, oh, it's just not in my path.” "Get off social media. It's not real and stop looking sideways."

Melika Hadžić je bh. violinistica čija je muzička priča posve neobična. Violinu je prvi put uzela u ruke sa samo tri godine u Tuzli, a svoje školovanje je započela sa pet godina kod profesora Muhameda Mazalovića u tuzlanskoj Muzičkoj školi. Početkom rata u BiH odlazi u Zagreb na Muzičku akademiju i sa samo 15 godina postaje najmlađa studentica na toj Akedemiji. Nedugo poslije toga odlazi u Beč na Muzički konzervatorij, a u Beču dobiva stipendiju za prestižnu privatnu školu čuvenog svjetskog violiniste Yehudi Menuhina u švicarskom gradu Gstaadu. Njeno muzičko istraživanje dalje je odvodi u London na Royal Academy of Music, gdje je boravila dvije godine, a potom odlučuje potražiti svoj novi muzički pravac na američkom Univerzitetu u Indiani gdje je studirala klasičnu muziku i violinu zajedno sa psihologijom pokreta. Počela se baviti yogom, izučavati spiritualne tehnike opuštanja pri sviranju violine, koje su joj pomogle da upozna novi svijet muziciranja kroz upoznavanje sebe i svoje duše. Iz Indiane je put vodi natrag u BiH, do Sarajeva, a potom i do Rotterdama, gdje je magistrirala na renomiranoj muzičkoj akademiji Codarts. Nakon života u Amsterdamu vraća se u Sarajevo gdje nastavlja sa svojim muzičkim eksperimentima. Melika nije samo klasična violinistica – ona je umjetnica koja violinu koristi ne samo kao instrument, već sredstvo povezivanja – žanrova, emocija, publike... Njeni nastupi, bilo s orkestrima, filharmonijama, ili s Dinom Merlinom, odišu autentičnom energijom. Svira i klasičnu i električnu violinu, a njen stil opisuje kao “Connective Music” – muziku koja povezuje, u kojoj publika ne stoji po strani, već postaje njen aktivni dio._____________

Diane Burko's work in painting, photography, and time-based media considers the marks that human conversations make on the landscape. A Professor Emerita of the Community College of Philadelphia with additional teaching experience at Princeton University, Burko has received multiple grants from the NEA, the Pennsylvania Arts Council, the Leeway Foundation and the Independence Foundation. She has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women's Caucus for Art. After focusing for several decades on monumental geological formations and waterways through landscape painting, Burko has shifted in the past 20 years to analyze the impact of industrial and colonial activity on those same landscapes. Burko's practice seeks to visually emulsify interconnected subjects– extraction, deforestation, extinction, environmental justice, indigenous genocide, ecological degradation, climate collapse– so viewers might feel their connection viscerally through the beauty of her work. While her work deals with impending climate catastrophe, rather than lingering in dystopia, it celebrates the sublimity of the landscape by honoring the intricate geological and political webs that shape the identity of a place. Burko has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally, including shows at London's Royal Academy of Art, Minneapolis Art Institute, National Academy of Sciences, Phillips Collection, RISD Museum Tang Museum, Wesleyan University Center for the Arts, and the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid. She has been awarded residencies in Giverny, Bellagio, the Arctic Circle, and the Amazon Rainforest. In 2021, her solo exhibition Seeing Climate Change at the American University Museum was cited in the New York Times as one of the best shows of 2021. Her most recent solo show, Diane Burko: Bearing Witness, open January 31 to March 8, 2025 at Cristin Tierney Gallery was her first solo exhibition in New York in over 40 years. Throughout her practice, Burko especially cherishes her collaborations with researchers in the sciences. She learns the most from “bearing witness” to the land.

Sculptor Antony Gormley and Professor of French literature, Catriona Seth discuss Victor Hugo's visual art with Tom Sutcliffe. Victor Hugo was a 19th century cultural colossus, known for monumental works such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Miserables as well as his poems, plays and political writings. It's not so well known that throughout his career Hugo drew with pen and ink - the same tools he wrote with - creating some 4,000 pictures. The Royal Academy has gathered together about 70 of these in its exhibition 'Astonishing Things: The Drawings of Victor Hugo'. Julian Barnes, one of our greatest living novelists, talks about his latest nonfiction book Changing My Mind. A series of essays published today by Notting Hill Editions, it ponders moments in his life when he's reconsidered long-held views, from memories and politics to words and the writing of EM Forster.Bestselling author Emma Donoghue is known for her novel Room. She talks about mixing in real life characters to her latest work of fiction The Paris Express, which was inspired by seeing a surreal photograph of a nineteenth century French railway disaster.Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Claire Bartleet

In today's podcast we take a deep dive into embodied carbon and try to get a better understanding of why infrastructure professionals need to make its assessment more than just a nice add on but a fundamental part of the design process.The construction and infrastructure sectors are undergoing a major transformation as the industry seeks to reduce its carbon footprint and meet global net-zero targets. While operational carbon—emissions from heating, cooling, and electricity use—has traditionally been the focus of sustainability efforts, embodied carbon - emissions that are locked in at the point of construction and cannot be reduced over time - is now taking centre stage. To discuss this issue, my guest today is Adrian Campbell, founder of the Change Building consultancy and someone that I like to describe as an industry sustainability guru and my go-to expert when it comes to reducing carbon across the infrastructure lifecycle.  Full disclosure; I have known Adrian since we studied Civil Engineering together at the University of Southampton back in the 1980s. Well, he did the studying as I remember! Adrian has made a return to the University of Southampton as a tutor and lecturer and as Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor in Sustainable Development and Climate Impact He  has just produced a new guide to help students get to grips with assessing embodied carbon - a rapidly developing area of professional competence which should provide the skills and judgment to help improve designs and help move us towards the goal of net zero carbon.For students entering the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction, embracing embodied carbon assessment is no longer optional—it is a vital skill for shaping a sustainable built environment. As Adrian puts it, having an awareness of the reasons for its adoption (the ‘why') and some experience of assessment (the ‘how') is now expected as part of the role of the engineer.However, this presents challenges: data inconsistencies, limited industry knowledge, and balancing carbon reductions with performance and cost make it a complex area to navigate. So let's find out why students should engage with embodied carbon thinking early in their careers.ResourcesAdrian Campbell Linked in Southampton University Embodied Carbon guideChange Building websiteUniversity of Southampton websitePositive Collective Royal Academy of Engineering Institution of Structural Engineers - how to calculate embodied carbon

Interpreten: Mela Guitar QuartetLabel: trptkEAN: 6096041298203Zum zehnjährigen Bestehen schenkt sich das britische Mela Guitar Quartet eine neue CD, auf der die vier Musikerinnen und Musiker mit Ouvertüren und Tänzen zu erleben sind. Michael Gmasz gratuliert ganz herzlich!2015 von Absolventen der Guidhall School of Music und der Royal Academy of Music gegründet, hat sich das Mela Gitarren Quartett in den vergangenen zehn Jahren als eines der herausragenden Ensembles seiner Art etabliert und feiert heuer sein 10-Jahresjubiläum mit einer neuen CD Einspielung. 2023 hat eine größere Umbesetzung stattgefunden, die nun einen qualitätvollen Schritt in die Zukunft erlaubt, und mit dem Gewinn des prestigeträchtigen Wettbewerbes der Guitar Foundation of America jüngst einen Höhepunkt gefeiert hat. Auf CD melden sich die Melas nun erstmals in neuer Besetzung ausschließlich mit Bearbeitungen von Ouvertüren und Tänzen, die ursprünglich für Orchester bzw. Klavier entstanden sind.Die Auswahl von Werken ist dabei genauso abwechslungsreich wie die Bearbeitung derselben. Das reicht von hochvirtuosen Arrangements wie der eröffnenden Ruslan und Ljudmilla Ouvertüre von Glinka oder Camille Saint-Saëns Danse Bacchanale aus der Oper Samson et Dalila bis hin zu sehr zarten und einfühlsamen Tönen und Klängen bei Debussys zwei Arabesken oder der Ouvertüre zu Humperdincks Hänsel und Gretel. Dazwischen wird mit Holst, Elgar, Ravel, Rachmaninow oder auch Joe Hisaishi getanzt. Hier wird Gitarrenensemblemusik auf allerhöchstem Niveau geboten, technisch brillant, mit allen Spielarten, die modernes „klassisches“ Gitarrenspiel kennt und musikalisch absolut überzeugend. Eine CD, die einfach Spaß macht! (mg)

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the architect Sir John Soane (1753 -1837), the son of a bricklayer. He rose up the ranks of his profession as an architect to see many of his designs realised to great acclaim, particularly the Bank of England and the Law Courts at Westminster Hall, although his work on both of those has been largely destroyed. He is now best known for his house in Lincoln's Inn Fields in London, which he remodelled and crammed with antiquities and artworks: he wanted visitors to experience the house as a dramatic grand tour of Europe in microcosm. He became professor of architecture at the Royal Academy, and in a series of influential lectures he set out his belief in the power of buildings to enlighten people about “the poetry of architecture”. Visitors to the museum and his other works can see his trademark architectural features such as his shallow dome, which went on to inspire Britain's red telephone boxes.With: Frances Sands, the Curator of Drawings and Books at Sir John Soane's MuseumFrank Salmon, Associate Professor of the History of Art at the University of Cambridge and Director of the Ax:son Johnson Centre for the Study of Classical ArchitectureAnd Gillian Darley, historian and author of Soane's biography.Producer: Eliane Glaser In Our time is a BBC Studios Audio production.Reading list:Barry Bergdoll, European Architecture 1750-1890 (Oxford University Press, 2000)Bruce Boucher, John Soane's Cabinet of Curiosities: Reflections on an Architect and His Collection (Yale University Press, 2024)Oliver Bradbury, Sir John Soane's Influence on Architecture from 1791: An Enduring Legacy (Routledge, 2015)Gillian Darley, John Soane: An Accidental Romantic (Yale University Press, 1999)Ptolemy Dean, Sir John Soane and the Country Estate (Ashgate, 1999)Ptolemy Dean, Sir John Soane and London (Lund Humphries, 2006)Helen Dorey, John Soane and J.M.W.

The architect Takero Shimazaki was born in Tokyo but is a longtime Londoner. He has designed many kinds of buildings – including the London home of the Royal Academy of Dance. It's a warm, open, lovingly designed space and last year, the Royal Institute of British Architects gave it both an RIBA National Award and RIBA London Award, calling it “an uplifting, welcoming and inclusively safe place.” So how do you take a heritage organisation like the RAD and build it a 21st century home? An architect can shape the way bodies move through space, just like a choreographer – so we ask Takero why dance matters to him.Takero Shimazaki is an architect and a director of Takero Shimazaki Architects, t-sa. He studied at University of Wales, Cardiff and The Bartlett, UCL. He has worked for Richard Rogers Partnership, Itsuko Hasegawa and Alison and Peter Smithson, and is a lecturer in Architecture at the School of Art, Architecture and Design at London Metropolitan University.LINKShttps://www.t-sa.co.uk/https://www.ribaj.com/buildings/riba-awards-2024-london-south-west-royal-academy-of-dance-takero-shimazaki-architects-education-wandsworthhttps://www.royalacademyofdance.org/ Hosted on Acast.

We are back with a new episode of the Ecosystem Member podcast! Thank you for tuning in.Our guests for this episode are Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, who make up the incredible artist duo Ackroyd & Harvey. I first came across their work at the Dear Earth exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in London (which also featured past guest Jenny Kendler) and as we discuss in the episode, re-engaged with their work through their Beuys' Acorns project, which just had a major planting that we talk about at the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich. If this is the first time you are hearing about Ackroyd & Harvey, they are an internationally acclaimed artist duo that create work at the intersection of art, activism, architecture, biology, ecology and history. Their work often involves natural materials such grass and light - through a process called photographic photosynthesis - or the bones of a juvenile Minke Whale. Over their multi-decade collaboration with each other, nature, activists, scientists and other artists, their work has been shown at the Tate Modern and Royal Academy in London, The Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, and Ballroom Marfa in Texas among dozens of other prestigious locations. In 2019, they also co-founded Culture Declares Emergency in response to the climate and ecological emergency.The reason I titled this episode ‘Natural Collaboration' is evident in the podcast. Over the years, Ackroyd & Harvey have created their own little ecosystem that evolves over time and brings into their circle not just nature and the more-than-human world, but other artists, scientists and activists of all stripes. It is a great example of the compelling conversations that can be had when we collaborate with others, especially as we face the climate crisis.In this episode, we dig into their various collaborations and spend a lot of time on their photographic photosynthesis process, which happened almost by chance as you'll hear about in the episode. We also talk about their connection to place and the challenge of working with living materials, including the more-than-human animals and creatures that find their way to the pieces. Our conversation comes to a close around the Beuys' Acorns project, which has extended Joseph Beuys' original 7,000 Oaks project over many more decades, helping it stay a point of discussion for new generations.If you haven't subscribed to our newsletter and Substack, please visit ecosystemmember.com.

Next month, the German artist Anselm Kiefer will be 80, and the first of a number of shows internationally to mark this landmark moment opened this week at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK. It focuses on his early works, and Ben Luke visits Oxford to discuss this pivotal moment in his career with Lena Fritsch, the curator of the exhibition. The latest edition of the biennial in the United Arab Emirate of Sharjah opened earlier this month. The Art Newspaper's correspondent Dale Berning Sawa visited during opening week and spoke to Sheikha Hoor Al Qasimi, the president and director of Sharjah Art Foundation, which runs the biennial, about this year's edition, her journey in art, and her role in establishing the biennial as a leading art world event. And this episode's Work of the Week is Portrait of Mateu Fernández de Soto (1901) by Pablo Picasso, a painting from the artist's Blue Period. Conservators at The Courtauld Institute in London have discovered an image of a mystery woman hidden beneath this portrait of De Soto, Picasso's friend and fellow artist.

Architect Liam Young shares his thoughts on how science fiction can be a powerful tool for prototyping new possibilities, why problems like climate change urgently need planetary-scale solutions, and how speculative design can inspire meaningful cultural transformation.  Liam Young is a designer, director, and BAFTA-nominated producer who operates in the spaces between design, fiction, and futures. Described by the BBC as ‘the man designing our futures', his visionary films and speculative worlds are both extraordinary images of tomorrow and urgent examinations of the environmental questions facing us today. As a world-builder, he visualises the cities, spaces, and props of our imaginary futures for the film and television industry. His own films have premiered with platforms ranging from Channel 4, Apple+, SxSW, Tribeca, the New York Metropolitan Museum, The Royal Academy, Venice Biennale, the BBC, and The Guardian.

(Conversation recorded on December 11th, 2024)     The past century has been marked by the rise of globalization in every sense of the word - through production, culture, agriculture, consumption and more. This trend has brought great wealth and opportunities to many people - but what have we lost and forgotten through this process?  In this Reality Roundtable, Nate is joined by members of the bioregioning movement, Daniel Christian Wahl, Samantha Power, and Isabel Carlisle, to discuss the necessity of reconnecting to our local places for the sake of addressing our ecological, social, and economic challenges. In this fascinating exchange, Nate and his guests emphasize the need for decentralized governance and institutions, as well as communities organized around resilience and regeneration.  How deep are the historical and indigenous ties of humanity to the bioregional way of life? In what ways can individuals begin to engage with their local bioregions and contribute to a regenerative future? Finally, how can more humans who are connected and in relationship with the land influence future societies and cultures to be more aligned to the well-being of all life?    About Daniel Christian Wahl: Daniel Christian Wahl is one of the catalysts of the rising reGeneration and the author of ‘Designing Regenerative Cultures' - so far translated into seven languages. He works as a consultant, educator and activist with NGOs, businesses, governments and global change agents. With degrees in biology and holistic science and a PhD in Design for Human and Planetary Health, his work has influenced the emerging fields of regenerative design and salutogenic design. Daniel is winner of the 2021 RSA Bicentenary Medal for applying design in service to society and was awarded a two year Volans-Fellowship in 2022.   About Samantha Power: Samantha Power is a Co-Founder and the Director of the BioFi Project and the Founder and Principal Consultant of Finance for Gaia. She is a Regenerative Economist, Futurist, and Bioregionalist based in Oakland, CA on the ancestral land of the Ohlone people. Samantha channeled her 15 years of experience learning and working in this space into a new book: 'Bioregional Financing Facilities: Reimagining Finance to Regenerate Our Planet'. The book makes the case for and explains how to build institutions to shift capital to place-based regenerators to achieve global climate and nature-related goals, while enabling the transition to regenerative economies. To turn this vision into a global movement, Samantha co-founded the BioFi Project — a collective of experts supporting bioregions around the world to design, build, and implement BFFs inspired by the templates laid out in the book.   About Isabel Carlisle: Isabel Carlisle is a communicator, educator and large-scale project organiser. Her experience in the London art world (where her work included writing as an art critic for The Times and curating exhibitions at the Royal Academy) led her to set up and direct the Festival of Muslim Cultures that took place across Britain throughout 2006. Over 120 events in almost every conceivable art form brought audiences into contact with the Muslim world in order to build bridges of understanding between cultures. Isabel moved to South Devon in 2010 and created and led learning programmes for children and young adults with Transition Network. Since 2012 she has trained in Regenerative Development and Design with Regenesis.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   ---   Support The Institute for the Study of Energy and Our Future Join our Substack newsletter Join our Discord channel and connect with other listeners

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Robert Blake Whitehill, author of the book Deadrise. Robert was born into a Quaker family in Mardela Springs, just outside Salisbury on Maryland's Eastern Shore peninsula. He grew up sailing the Chesapeake Bay, and one of her most beautiful tributaries, the Chester River. After graduating from Westtown School, Whitehill stayed in Pennsylvania to earn his B.A. in creative writing at Haverford and Bryn Mawr Colleges. Later he trained as an actor at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, and at The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in New York City. He is the author of the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-category, international Kindle bestselling Ben Blackshaw thrillers, which currently has six titles, and audiobooks in the works in German and English. Whitehill lives in New Jersey with his wife and son. When he wasn't sailing, or knocking around the sky in a Cessna 152, Whitehill published several articles about his home waters in Chesapeake Bay Magazine. He is also the managing partner of Calaveras Media LLC, a feature film and television development company. He is a member of SAG-AFTRA, International Thriller Writers, GPA Aviation Club, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, and served for a number of years as an EMT-B with the Montclair Ambulance Unit.   In my book review, I stated Deadrise, a thriller, is Book #1 in The Ben Blackshaw Series. If you love a Tom Clancy kind of novel, then you will love this series. We meet Ben underwater - clamming in the Chesapeake Bay near Smith Island. However, instead of finding clams, he finds a sunken boat, 19 boxes of gold bouillon, a dirty bomb, and his dead father - a man he hasn't seen in 15 years. His clamming partner, Knocker Ellis, isn't as surprised as he should be, nor are the other inhabitants of the island. When Maynard Chalk learns his deal has gone sour, and that Ben's father is to blame, he comes to the island to get his money and the bomb - but Ben has other plans. I loved Robert's characters, and especially loved that Smith Island with all her quirky inhabitants was as much of a characters as Ben. If you love a good thriller with all the twists and turns, and great characters, then you will want to read Deadrise.  Purchase Deadrise on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/48Z8iAr Kindle: https://amzn.to/48Z8iAr     Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Robert Blake Whitehill Website: www.robertblakewhitehill.com X: @rbwhitehill IG: @robertblakewhitehill FB: @Robert Blake Whitehill Bluesky: @rbwhitehill   Purchase Deadrise on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/48Z8iAr Ebook: https://amzn.to/48Z8iAr   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   #robertblakewhitehill #deadrise #thriller #terimbrownauthor #authorpodcast #onlineforauthors #characterdriven #researchjunkie #awardwinningauthor #podcasthost #podcast #readerpodcast #bookpodcast #writerpodcast #author #books #goodreads #bookclub #fiction #writer #bookreview *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Rerun: James Christie held his first auction on 5th December, 1766 - billed as a sale of “genuine household furniture, jewels, plate, firearms, china and a large quantity of madeira and high flavoured claret” belonging to a “Noble Personage (deceased)”. His auction-house, Christie's, went on to become one of the world's leading dealers of fine art. But it took Christie many years to exploit this opportunity, which he accomplished partly by leveraging well-connected friends. His milieu included Richard Tattersall, Thomas Chipperfield, Thomas Gainsborough, Horace Walpole, Joshua Reynolds and David Garrick - a ‘Who's Who' of 18th century London once known as ‘Christie's Fraternity of Godparents'. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Christie innovated public viewings, product placement and sales technique; connect the dots between the French Revolution and Christie's biggest successes; and reveal how much it costs to buy a two-headed taxidermied lamb…  Further Reading: • ‘James Christie: the eloquent auctioneer' (Royal Academy of Arts, 2016): https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/james-christie-eloquent-auctioneer • ‘Mr Christie, before Christie's… His early days' (Artprice, 2021): https://www.artprice.com/artmarketinsight/mr-christie-before-christies-his-early-days • ‘Welcome to Christie's' (Christies, 2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ2kq20kK5U ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?'

After the 2024 election, NY Post reports that Georgetown University deployed ‘self-care suites' for students who were ‘stressed' by the results, while other schools encouraged students who were 'emotionally distressed' to skip class entirely. The paper also says the college students, whose tuition hovers around $61,000 per year – and who are allegedly grown adults – were given access to Legos, coloring books, milk, cookies, and other “goodies that wouldn't be out of place at a child's birthday party.” Ted Balaker is an award-winning filmmaker, former ABC Network News producer, and think tank scholar.

We meet our friend, the legendary artist Sir Michael Craig-Martin RA!!!

Covering his 60-year career, make sure you visit this powerful, colourful, dynamic exhibition - it will lift your soul! This is your last chance to visit as it's the last two weeks. Visit before it closes on 10th December 2024.Michael Craig-Martin depicts everyday items with a nuanced simplicity that exposes the tensions between objects and their representation. His work is distinguished by exceptional draftsmanship, vibrant color, and uninflected line; intensely visual, it is rooted in an exploration of the relationships between perception, language, and meaning.A key figure in British art, Michael Craig-Martin is one of the most influential artists and teachers of his generation. Since coming to prominence in the late 1960s he has moved between sculpture, installation, painting, drawing, prints and digital works, creating a body of work that has fused elements from pop, minimalism and conceptual art.Craig-Martin transforms the RA's Main Galleries with work from across his career. See his early experimental sculpture and his landmark conceptual work An Oak Tree alongside the large-scale, vivid colour paintings of everyday objects – from corkscrews and umbrellas to laptops and smartphones.
