Podcast appearances and mentions of stefan simchowitz

Out now: VernissageTV Magazine No. 57, December 2024. In this issue: Stefan Simchowitz, Ruth Erdt, Lowrider Icons of the Street ...

In this video, we sit down with Stefan Simchowitz to discuss the launch of Hill House, his new art space ...

In September 2024, Simchowitz launched a new venue in Pasadena called Hill House. The space was inaugurated with a group ...

The Daily Mail called him the “Sith Lord” of the art world, the New York Times annointed him as the art world's Patron Satan”, while the Wall Street Journal described him as the dealer the art world “loves to hate”. Californian voters aren't too keen on him either, with only 0.24% voting for him in January as the Republican candidate for Diane Feinstein's Senate seat. Yes, we're talking about Stefan Simchowitz, the notoriously disruptive Los Angeles based entrepreneur who has built an enormously controversial art empire. So why, I asked Malibu's self-styled enfant terrible, does almost everyone in the art world seem to hate him so much? And does he really believe, as he supposedly told another interviewer recently, that the US government should round up 150,000 homeless people in California and stick them into military camps?Stefan Simchowitz (born October 8, 1970) is the Los Angeles based art collector, art curator and art advisor who runs Simchowitz Gallery. He is a vocal proponent of social media as a legitimate way of discovering, distributing, and popularizing the fine arts, primarily using Facebook and Instagram as platforms for self-promotion, discovering new artists, and endorsing those he already manages.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

Marc Horowitz is a prolific Los Angeles-based artist who works in painting, performance, sculpture, and much (much) more. We have a super fun, very wide-ranging talk about dreams and if you should tell people about them, growing up in the midwest and heading to LA, how he manages to work across so many mediums while avoiding worrying about categories, stopping painting to work in more experimental media and returning to it after a 12 year break, launching his own experimental crypto in 2015, buying a log cabin in Montana, getting a grant from Nouns DAO to produce his absurdist video series 'Worst Case Decision', his relationship with Stefan Simchowitz, and we talk Hole DAO, he and Yuri Rybak's idea to raise money to...dig a hole.Episode artwork by Chuck Anderson/NoPattern Studio. Episode music & production by Yuri Rybak & Josh Chin.Created in partnership with ZORA.

Petra Cortright is a Los Angeles-based digital artist known for her elaborate paintings, videography, and digital media. Crafted from massive digital files on Photoshop, her paintings are often composed of physical and digital images, simulated brushstrokes, and marks that blend both abstract and figurative elements. Petra has exhibited at the Walker Art Center, Whitechapel Gallery, and the Hammer Museum, in addition to solo exhibitions around the world. Her work is featured in permanent collections at New York's Museum of Modern Art, Miami's Péréz Museum, and the Moderna Museeit in Stockholm–amongst many others. “I think to pursue mystery and beauty, these things are a bit subjective, so you can't really tell people exactly what it shouldn't be about. And also I have to preserve these things for myself. I primarily make the work for myself, so if I don't have some questions that are unanswered, even for me, then there's not really an interest to like keep going otherwise. So it's also sort of protection and a preservation mindset that I have about leaving things really open for other people and for myself.”· www.petracortright.com· Show at Societé in Berlin: BALEAF GYS AKADEMIKS MAAMGIC BROKIG: https://societeberlin.com/exhibitions/baleaf-gys-akademiks-maamgic-brokig/· Show at Foxy production at the beginning of this year: https://www.foxyproduction.com/exhibitions/1756Photo by Stefan Simchowitz· www.creativeprocess.info· www.oneplanetpodcast.org

"I really didn't see the NFT thing coming. For sure, crypto. I remember when internet artists were getting into that years ago and that always seemed like it was going to develop into something substantial, but in terms of the NFTs, I've just been very surprised and charmed by people all of a sudden caring about digital images because I spent so many years literally trying to figure out a way to print them out. It just wasn't seen as serious as an oil painting or something like that.I think I tried every single platform that there is to try. I released hundreds of them, which was fun because my practice can allow that. The gallery system is very – I have to hold back so much – and also when you're making physical things, the physical paintings they're quite expensive to produce.We can't make endless. It's labor-intensive, and it's expensive to make physical things, but with the NFTs, it just was kind of a way to show the range and the scale that is possible with my practice."· www.petracortright.com· Show at Societé in Berlin: BALEAF GYS AKADEMIKS MAAMGIC BROKIG: https://societeberlin.com/exhibitions/baleaf-gys-akademiks-maamgic-brokig/· Show at Foxy production at the beginning of this year: https://www.foxyproduction.com/exhibitions/1756Photo by Stefan Simchowitz· www.creativeprocess.info· www.oneplanetpodcast.org

Stefan Simchowitz is easily one of the most controversial figures in today's art world. Partially because he's breaking the norms of the establishment, and making tons of money in the process. He talks to us about what art is today, why people in Silicon Valley don't buy any of it, and what it's like to be called the Donald Trump of the art world. Learn more about your ad choices.
