Subscribe to receive exclusive weekly content at www.thegallerycompanion.comIn this episode I discuss our diminishing capacity for sustained attention and how we get diverted by the stuff going on on our screens, by email, social media and different apps. There's nothing wrong in theory with having down time: our minds can't be working on hard stuff all the time. We need to do simple, mindless activities every so often to pause and clear our heads. The problem comes for those of us who spend too much time getting diverted.It's a sign that we are not valuing our time, which is our greatest asset. This is an idea that the artist Ryan Gander is interested in and I discuss some of the ideas he has talked about, especially the clarity that he finds in his creative thinking when he is not able to physically hold his phone. He has his best ideas when he can't be distracted by the internet. That's something many of us can relate to, but how do we make it happen in practice?The Gallery Companion is hosted by writer and historian Dr Victoria Powell. It's a thought-provoking dive into the interesting questions and messy stuff about our lives that art explores and represents.To see the images and watch the videos discussed in the podcast visit www.thegallerycompanion.com.

Alan Bleasdale's Boys From The Blackstuff is widely regarded as television drama at its best with a cultural footprint that led to the phrase “Gi's a job” being heard up and down the country. Forty years on from the first broadcast, James Graham, known for plays such as This House, about the UK's hung parliament of the 1970s, and Dear England about the England football team, has adapted Alan's screenplays for a stage production at the Royal Court theatre in Liverpool. He discusses why now was the right time to revisit and remodel. Chester Contemporary is a new visual arts biennial curated by artist Ryan Gander who was born and raised in Chester and has created a citywide event that features some of the visual art world's biggest names. Front Row visited Chester on the opening weekend to talk to Turner Prize-nominated artist Fiona Banner, emerging artist William Lang, Chester native Tim Foxon whose art pops up all over the city centre, and Turner Prize-winning artist Elizabeth Price, about their creations for the cathedral city. The renowned conductor John Eliot Gardiner has cancelled all his appearances for the rest of this year after allegedly slapping and punching a singer backstage after a performance. He is far from the only conductor linked to reportedly bad behaviour. But as society puts conductors on a cultural as well as physical podium, and addresses them as ‘maestro', perhaps such behaviour isn't surprising. Perhaps, too, marshalling a large orchestra requires dictatorial leadership. Igor Toronyi-Lalic, music critic of The Spectator, and the conductor Ben Gernon join Nick Ahad to discuss how conductors conduct themselves, and how they should.

Episode Summary:At ZG19 we believe that the New Year should start with revisiting our relationship with nature and our planet, because we ARE the planet, an integral part of our ecosystem. This is why our first episode in 2023 is dedicated to an acclaimed SuperNatural exhibition at the Eden Project, a cross-disciplinary cultural leader, that runs till 26 February. The show brings together a range of international artists, including Ai Weiwei, Kedisha Coakley, Iman Datoo, Patricia Domínguez, Ingela Ihrman and Eduardo Navarro, who explore humankind's ever-evolving understanding of ourselves as a part of the natural world, the interdependencies between humans and plants, and the systems that inform our varying perspectives. In this interview the Senior curator Misha Curson and curator Hannah Hooks guide us through the exhibitions, mentioning global cultural activism, and stating that in order to develop a planet fit for the future, we need to nurture creative perspectives. Other two ladies that join the conversation are Iman Datoo and Patricia Dominguez. While an interdisciplinary artist Datoo expands on her curious practice that brings together botany and cartography, Domínguez tells us how she merges socio-political and economic matters with mysticism and ancient botanical knowledge.About Eden Project:Owned by the Eden Trust, the Eden Project is a global arts, science and educational charity with a social and environmental mission: to create a movement that builds relationships between people and the natural world to demonstrate the power of working together for the benefit of all living things.

Welcome back to Where Love Lives, with me, Lulu Le Vay. This is Episode 11, the penultimate in this series, and this show is mega extra special as my guest is artist Ryan Gander in conversation with the lovely Miranda Sawyer. This dynamic pairing wasn't exactly planned, as on the day of the interview I was so sick with Long Covid symptoms I could barely speak, so dear Miranda stepped in and saved the day. I feel very humbled to have such supportive and understanding friends, which reflects what this podcast is all about. Friendships are just as important as romantic relationships, so this show is dedicated to the importance of friends in all of our lives. As Maya Angelou says about what makes proper friendship: ‘Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud'. So here's a shout out to all the rainbows out there, starting with my guest Ryan Gander who took time out of his very busy schedule to come into the studios at Soho radio last month. Ryan is a self described ‘neo-conceptual' artist and ‘amateur philosopher' whose work ranges from a life size abandoned betting shop made of glass through to animatronic multi expressive googly eyes popping out of walls. What I love about Ryan's work is that it's witty and playful, whilst being able to offer insight and social commentary about the crazy and wonderful world around us. He's also very humble, fun to be around, and not up himself, which makes me like him even more. To explore his work do follow him on Insta and read all about him here. Remember, if you like this podcast do please leave a review on whichever platform you use and share with your friends. Do follow me @drlululevay and remember, I love you.

JOHN - "Šibensko Powerhouse" from the 2021 album Nocturnal Manoeuvres on Brace Yourself Records / Pets Care Records. As one YouTuber comically remarked on the footage of JOHN's Live on KEXP Performance from 2019's International Clash Day celebration, “The best band with the worst SEO.” And they're not wrong, trying to find a band that goes by the most common English first name in the world on the internet is an incredibly difficult task. But once discovered, the riches that the duo rewards you with are plentiful. Made up of John Newton and Johnny Healey, the duo are an absolute force to be reckoned with. Their latest album Nocturnal Manoeuvres, released in October, takes the explosive riffs the two Johns have a penchant for and spreads them out into maximalist, psychedelic new territories. Our Song of the Day is the album's early single “Šibensko Powerhouse,” a turbulent thumper that features vocals from none other than IDLES bassist Adam Devonshire for an extra layer of fury. “The lyrics came from a now-distant memory of visiting a festival in another country,” offers drummer and lead vocalist Newton. “I remembered standing alone in baking 40 degree heat on the hillside outside of my apartment – only to hear a familiar song echoing live in the distance from over the hill's crest. It was a once in lifetime moment that just stuck with me, a reminder of my small scale in the greater scheme of the world.” Nocturnal Manoeuvres follows 2019's Out Here on the Fringes.

Gander chose Study of a Coloured Tile Path With Red, Black and White Tiles, 1988 due to seeing a shared interest in time and collecting places in moments. It is a meticulous recreation of a randomly chosen area of the earth's surface in resin, fibreglass and mixed media, perhaps representing a front garden path in London.Ryan Gander's work takes many different forms, from sculpture, film, writing, graphic design and performance. He joins Ned McConnell from his Suffolk studio for a conversation about working with your kids, fables and fantasy and the gaps between reality and history.Have questions, comments or want to see more of what the Roberts Institute of Art does?

Ryan Gander’s inventive, shapeshifting and associative works materialise in many forms ranging from sculpture and writing to painting and performance. His engagement with histories is not without mischief, in his 2006 work A Future Lorum Ipsom, Gander invented a palindromic word, ‘Mitim’, designed to be inserted without comment into newspapers, magazines, crosswords or everyday speech, meaning ‘a mythical word newly introduced into history as if it had always been there’. In this episode of British Art Talks, an array of artists is enlisted in a quixotic project: a countdown from fifty in bingo calls. The funny, rhyming calls evoke a history of a game of pure chance, based on random numbers, dating from the early eighteenth century in Britain. They include visual puns and enigmatic idiom. They speak of clandestine activity, village halls and commercial leisure. First, a story, part of a beat poem, narrated by Ryan as author, to his daughter, Penny, in a disarming and semi-autobiographical form: a history of the artist navigating, inventing, transforming, ludic, in time.

British artist Ryan Gander discusses a new body of work related to culture, time, mortality and the inability of language to describe the full range and despair of our current human condition. In each work in this trilogy of sculptural installations, an animatronic mouse appears from the debris of a hole in the wall to philosophise, commanding the room with its tiny voice and inviting the visitor to kneel down to hear what it has to say.
To mark the occasion of what would have been the public preview of their exhibitions, Castlefield Gallery curator Matthew Pendergast invited artists Bryony Dawson and Ryan Gander to share some questions and thoughts on their works.

Simon Amstell directs his first cinema release - Benjamin. The title character is a thinly-disguised version of himself with nervous lack of self esteem who is directing a film about himself.

Social media is like fast food – rapidly consumed for instant gratification. No wonder social media demeans art. Artworks that instantly seduce online become tedious when contemplated over time in the flesh. Once art goes viral, it gains traction, particularly in the market, and becomes unjustifiably acclaimed. Museums may be keen to reach new audiences, but can great masterpieces really be appreciated on the miniature canvas of your mobile phone screen? Shrink art and you shrink its power – no one can really believe they've experienced an artwork without examining the ideas and the artist's mastery of their medium. And this is an even bigger issue when it comes to experiential artworks such as performance or virtual reality. What nostalgic nonsense, say digital art fans. Attacking social media is like attacking photography in the 19th century. The internet is the medium of the age. To ignore it is to reject the future. For existing masterpieces, social media is the key to all the world’s museums and galleries. No longer are works hidden away in dusty storage rooms in another country. With a simple swipe of your finger you can explore artworks you never knew existed, prompted by suggestions from people you admire. Commercially, the online art market is estimated to have grown to over $3 billion in 2016. At last, art has become truly democratic, open to all to view and buy. This debate took place in Hong Kong on 23rd March 2017. Arguing for the motion were internationally acclaimed artist Ryan Gander and curator for the Encounters sector of Art Basel Hong Kong Alexie Glass-Kantor. Arguing against the motion were the Director of Indonesia's Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara, Aaron Seeto, and international art advisor and founder of FSA Art Advisory, Lisa Schiff. The debate was chaired by Tim Marlow, Director of London's Royal Academy of Arts. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Prince has been the Executive Director of the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver, Canada, since 2011.

We are still playing catch up around the headquarters here, but today's guest, Ryan Gander, certainly isn't. The extremely prolific and hard working artist took the time to sit down with us and talk on the occasion of his opening at David Risley Gallery. We had a warmhearted talk about not being able to turn it off, about the distinction between success and not success and he lays the smack down on state funded art works. In the meantime he also parted the clouds of doubt in Ando's head, and helped spread the universal message of art and change to the world, so don't miss this one. www.undergang.net
