Because I don't know where I'm going, I'm very able to change direction. . . only at the very end of the process does all this nascent information suddenly have resonance – only in the singularity of the final work does the impact of this desperate journey make any sense." – Tacita Dean.

Episode No. 694 features artists Tacita Dean and Ilana Harris-Babou. The Menil Collection, Houston is presenting "Tacita Dean: Blind Folly," the first major museum survey of Dean's work in the United States. The exhibition examines a range of Dean's production, with a special emphasis on her drawing practice. "Blind Folly" includes new works informed by Dean's time in Houston, including her residency at (and in!) the Menil's Cy Twombly Gallery. It is on view through April 19. The Menil, MACK, and Dean have produced several books related to the Menil exhibition: Why Cy, an artist's book of images Dean produced during her residency in the Twombly Gallery. Within it is a small booklet of notes and drawings that Dean conceived during the same residency. Tacita Dean: Blind Folly, a book by exhibition curator Michelle White that addresses Dean's practice and oeuvre in a strikingly legible, almost narrative way. Why Cy is available from Amazon for about $95; White's Blind Folly is available from Amazon for about $28 - or just $10 on Kindle. Dean is one of Britain's most celebrated artists. She has been the subject of solo exhibitions at museums such as the Bourse de Commerce, Pinault Collection, Paris, the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, and the Kunstmuseum Basel. In 2011 Dean's work FILM was shown in the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. Harris-Babou's 2018 Reparation Hardware is included within "Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica" at the Art Institute of Chicago. The exhibition, which was curated by Antawan I. Byrd, Elvira Dyangani Ose, Adom Getachew, and Matthew S. Witkovsky, survey's Pan-Africanism's cultural manifestations across 350 objects made over the last 100 or so years. It is on view through March 30. Reparation Hardware, which was made for DIS.ART, is streamed below. Harris-Babou has been included in group shows at the Wellcome Collection, London, Apex Art, New York, and at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, Conn.

L'apocalypse ? Un mot obscur, qui fait peur, un mot qui parle de la fin du monde. Il n'en finit pas de résonner depuis deux mille ans dans notre culture et nos sociétés occidentales quand survient une catastrophe majeure, et aujourd'hui encore, en fond de nos angoisses climatiques. Et pourtant… L'étymologie de ce mot d'origine grecque signifie révélation, dévoilement, une signification reprise par les chrétiens. Dans le livre de l'Apocalypse qui clôt le Nouveau Testament, saint Jean parle d'un voile se levant sur le royaume intemporel qui réunira les croyants dans la Jérusalem céleste. Un mot porteur d'espoir, fait pour déjouer nos peurs profondes ?Du Moyen Âge à notre époque, l'exposition traverse cet imaginaire en montrant certains des plus prestigieux manuscrits de l'Apocalypse de Jean, des fragments rarement présentés de la célèbre tenture d'Angers, et la fameuse suite de gravures de Dürer consacrées au texte, mais aussi de nombreux chefs-d'oeuvre, peintures, sculptures, photographies, installations, livres rares, extraits de films, venant des collections de la Bibliothèque comme des plus grandes collections françaises et européennes, publiques et privées (Centre Pompidou, musée d'Orsay, British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, etc.).Parmi ces quelque 300 pièces, des oeuvres de William Blake, Odilon Redon, Vassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Meidner, Natalia Gontcharova, Otto Dix, Antonin Artaud, Unica Zürn, jusqu'à Kiki Smith, Tacita Dean, Miriam Cahn et Anne Imhof.[...] Hébergé par Acast.

Jessica Fuentes, Gabriel Martinez, and Brandon Zech discuss the different types of immersive art spaces and the historical work that paved the way. "I've realized that the spaces that really affect me are the ones that put me into a weird situation and take me out of wherever I am, take me out of my body a little bit, and make me have to negotiate. But not everyone is gonna want something that challenges them in that way when they go out to do something for pleasure."

To mark the occasion, this year the museum will present special programs about the work and legacy of artist Cy Twombly. Highlights include a book signing with artist Tacita Dean, performances by Meredith Monk, and a Neighborhood Community Day. Admission is always free. Learn more at menil.org/cytwombly30.
While the great Italian renaissance painters and the Dutch masters are world famous, why are there so few British artists from this period leading the way? It's one of the questions the art historian Bendor Grosvenor examines in his new history, The Invention of British Art. From prehistoric bone carvings to the landscapes of John Constable, Grosvenor reassesses the contribution British artists have made at home and abroad.The writer and former curator at the V&A Susan Owens wants to turn our attention to drawing. It is a simpler, more democratic form of art-making, she argues in The Story of Drawing: An Alternative History of Art. And one that is a fundamental part of the creative process. She reveals what can be learnt by looking again at the sketches made by Gainsborough, William Blake and Tacita Dean. The artist Lucinda Rogers specialises in urban landscapes. She immerses herself in her environment and records straight from eye to paper. Her intimate street views explore the changing nature of cities, from London to New York. During the US Presidential election she travelled to different locations as a reportage illustrator. A reproduction of her first sketchbook, New York Winter 1988, has just been re-released.

Gast: Simon Wald-Lasowski, beeldend kunstenaar “Ik denk vaak dat mijn interesse [in de objecten die hij in zijn werk gebruik red.] ook een ode aan de anonimiteit is. Er zijn heel veel mensen die in de schaduw werken en objecten tekenen, maken, produceren maar we weten hun naam niet. Maar soms zijn we omcirkeld door hun werk en ik zie vaak heel veel schoonheid in die objecten. […] Ik heb hier een boek van Henri Matisse. Volgens mij was hij een verzamelaar. Hij heeft heel vaak bepaalde vazen of objecten geschilderd, en die komen terug op verschillende momenten. Hij noemt dat zijn ‘palette d'objets' en dat vind ik een hele mooie manier van denken. Wij denken vaak aan een palet van kleur of van materiaal maar voor hem was er een ‘palette d'objets'. Dat heeft mij ook wel geholpen om mijn fascinatie te begrijpen.” Foto Simon Wald-Lasowski, Remake van Tacita Dean's 2011 Manhattan Mouse Museum film over Claes Oldenburg SPRINGVOSSEN redactie + presentatie: Robert van Altena contact: springvossen[at]gmail.com www.instagram.com/springvossen www.facebook.com/springvossen www.amsterdamfm.nl/programma/springvossen

So-called extinct objects are those that were imagined but were never in use, or that existed but are now unused—superseded, unfashionable, or simply forgotten. Extinct: A Compendium of Obsolete Objects (Reaktion Books, 2021) gathers together an exceptional range of artists, curators, architects, critics, and academics, including Hal Foster, Barry Bergdoll, Deyan Sudjic, Tacita Dean, Emily Orr, Richard Wentworth, and many more. In eighty-five essays, contributors nominate “extinct” objects and address them in a series of short, vivid, sometimes personal accounts, speaking not only of obsolete technologies, but of other ways of thinking, making, and interacting with the world. Extinct is filled with curious, half-remembered objects, each one evoking a future that never came to pass. It is also a visual treat, full of interest and delight. Barbara Penner is professor of architectural humanities at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. Adrian Forty is professor emeritus of architectural history at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

En este episodio de Pata de Mono nos sentamos a cotorrear con la fotógrafa y artista visual Alexandra Germán acerca de cómo es que se coleccionan las nubes y lo chingón que es detenernos y voltear a ver el cielo.
Our hosts, Sheila and Tom, with Peter Blake, visit Glenstone, discuss issues in contemporary art brought up by sculptures by Charles Ray, chalk drawings by Tacita Dean, large-scale photographs by Jeff Wall, and drawings by Vija Celmins.
"Pan Amicus," Dean's new 16mm film, was commissioned by the Getty Center, Los Angeles, where she was in residency from 2014-2015. Dean speaks with Jim Cuno, the President and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust, about the film, which includes museum objects, and is inspired by the Greek god Pan – ‘friend and helper' in the ‘Piper at the Gates of Dawn' (from the book, "The Wind in the Willows").
In episode 72 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews one of the most trailblazing artists alive today, Tacita Dean!!!!!! Working across drawings, photographs to installations and found objects, Tacita Dean is perhaps best known for her incredibly pioneering and staggeringly beautiful work in film. Interested in capturing the “truth of the moment, the film as a medium, and the sensibilities of the individual”, it is particularly her eloquent 16 and 35mm analogue films that are carried by a sense of history, time and place, which at times become portraits of the medium itself. Painterly, unpredictable, physical and truthful, she has described her films as “depictions of their subject and therefore closer to painting than they are to narrative cinema.” Born in Canterbury, UK, Tacita studied at the Falmouth School of Art, and earned her MA from the Slade. Rising to acclaim in the 1990s and early 2000s with films such as The Green Ray and Disappearance at Sea, the latter of which earned her a nomination for the prestigious Turner Prize, Tacita now lives between Berlin and Los Angeles. A royal academician and recipient of numerous prizes, such as the Hugo Boss Prize at the Guggenheim and Sixth Benesse Prize at the 51st Venice Biennale, Tacita has exhibited all over the world, from solo exhibitions at the Tate Britain, The Royal Academy, The National Gallery and the The National Portrait Gallery; between 2014–15 she was an artist in residence at the Getty Research Institute; and in 2011 she filled Tate Modern's Turbine Hall with her mammoth, 13-metre-high film, Film, which has been described as a lovingly spliced poem of hand-tinted images. But the reason why we are also speaking with Tacita Dean today, is because she is about to unveil her most recent commission: the set design and costumes for a new ballet The Dante Project: a collaboration with the Royal Ballet's choreographer Wayne McGregor at the Royal Opera House, London. And she is also the subject of solo exhibitions across both Frith Street spaces, featuring these forthcoming designs, plus incredible films such as 150 years of painting, featuring a conversation between Julie Mehretu and Luchita Hurtado, and Pan Amicus, which was filmed entirely on the estate of the Getty Center and Villa.

Tom Service talks to American composer Steve Reich as he celebrates his 85th birthday, and hears about his upcoming premiere of new work Traveler's Prayer. As the Royal Ballet celebrates its 90th anniversary, Tom talks to some of the creative team behind its upcoming new work: The Dante Project. Composer Thomas Ades, designer Tacita Dean and dancer Edward Watson reveal what's in store. Tom meets up with author Michael Church at Cecil Sharp House in London to talk about Michael's new book, Musics Lost and Found: Song Collectors and the Life and Death of Folk Tradition. Tom also talks to Veronica Doubleday about her many years of folksong collecting in Afghanistan, and her assessment of how the country's rich folksong heritage will be affected by its new government.
Ben Luke talks to Tacita Dean, whose 16mm and 35mm films, drawings on blackboard, photogravures, collages, sound works and found object pieces form one of the most poetic bodies of work in contemporary art. Dean was born in 1965 in Canterbury in the UK, but for most of her life as an artist has lived outside of Britain, first in Berlin, which has provided the location for some of her most compelling works, and now between the German capital and Los Angeles. As the three-venue group of museum shows she had in London in 2018 proved, Dean has a deep engagement with the traditional genres of art, making numerous moving portraits on film, as well as stirring and lyrical works exploring landscape, seascape and cityscape. Although film is her primary medium, her works are intimately connected in form and content. Her films regularly have a distinctive painterly quality, evoke the process of collage, and relate directly to her drawings. In this podcast she talks about her love of film as a medium, the pioneering techniques she uses, her encounters with the work of Giotto, with Cy Twombly and Julie Mehretu, and the influence of writers including WG Sebald and JG Ballard. She also discusses her work for The Dante Project, a new production at the Royal Opera House in London with choreography by Wayne McGregor and music by Thomas Adès, for which she has provided the costumes and set designs. Plus, she responds to the ultimate questions we ask all our guests: if you could live with just one work of art what would it be? And what is art for? This episode is sponsored by Bloomberg Connects.

Hello Autumn! We are so ready for you. It's been a disappointing summer weather-wise here in the UK, so we are very excited for a September full of art and exhibitions. New exhibitions include Doron Lamberg at Victoria Miro, Helen Frankenthaler at Dulwich Picture Gallery, Tacita Dean at Frith Street Gallery and Surrealist Female Artists at the Whitechapel. Our main story focuses on Poland, and a controversial ‘anti-cancel culture' art exhibition that was set to open at Ujazdowski Castle Center for Contemporary Art. We discuss some of the 30 artists included, and the protests surrounding it from Poland's anti-fascist league and various LGBTQ+ and Jewish organizers. We also look back on the lives of two artists who passed away recently: Dame Elizabeth Blackadder and Chuck Close, before turning to our Artist Focus: Cindy Sherman. Sherman is an American artist whose work consists primarily photographic self-portraits, depicting herself in many different contexts and as various imagined characters. We try to dig down to the ‘real' Cindy Sherman, if that's possible!SHOW NOTES: Charleston: https://www.charleston.org.uk/ A South London Makers Market: https://asouthlondonmakersmarket.co.uk/ Kate Emma Lee Ceramics: https://kateemmalee.com/ Mimi Dickson Paintings: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/mimidickson Harriet Shaw Rugs: https://www.instagram.com/harrietsayshi/?hl=en Doron Lamberg ‘Give Me Love' at Victoria Miro until 6 November 2021: https://online.victoria-miro.com/doron-langberg-london-2021/ Helen Frankenthaler ‘Radical Beauty' at Dulwich Picture Gallery from 15 September 2021 - 18 April 2022: https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/2021/may/helen-frankenthaler-radical-beauty/ ‘Mixing it up: Painting Today' at Hayward Gallery from 9 September to 12 December 2021: https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/art-exhibitions/mixing-it-painting-today Tacita Dean at Frith Street Gallery from 17 September to 30 October 2021: https://www.frithstreetgallery.com/exhibitions/tacita-dean-4 Phantoms of Surrealism at the Whitechapel Gallery, until 12 December 2021: https://www.whitechapelgallery.org/exhibitions/phantoms-of-surrealism/ Ben Crase: https://www.instagram.com/_gummy_beats_/?hl=en Jenna Gribbon: https://www.instagram.com/jennagribbon/?hl=en Ania Hobson: https://www.aniahobson.com/ 100 Contemporary Female Artists You Need to Know: https://www.marylynnbuchanan.com/blog/100-contemporary-female-artists-you-need-to-know-2021 Dame Elizabeth Blackadder: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/aug/25/dame-elizabeth-blackadder-obituaryChuck Close: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/aug/20/chuck-close-obituary Polish State Museum has put on an anti-cancel culture exhibition: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/warsaw-polish-islamophobic-swedish-jews-b1909742.htmlhttps://news.artnet.com/art-world/ujazdowski-castle-exhibition-2003364 Beyoncé and Jay-Z Pose with Long-Unseen Basquiat in Tiffany Campaign: https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/beyonce-jay-z-tiffany-basquiat-1234602125/ Cindy Sherman: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2011/jan/15/cindy-sherman-interview https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2019/jun/08/cindy-sherman-interview-exhibition-national-portrait-gallery

Sheena Wagstaff leads the Met's commitment to modern and contemporary art, including the design of the international exhibition program at The Met Breuer (2016-20), artist commissions, and collection displays. She has also curated numerous shows at the Met, amongst which are Gerhard Richter: Painting After All (2020); Like Life: Sculpture, Color, and The Body (1300-Now) (2018); and Nasreen Mohamedi (2016), and oversaw the David Hockney exhibition (2017). Significant acquisitions have been brought into the collection under her leadership, including works by Pablo Bronstein, Cecily Brown, Phil Collins, Tacita Dean, Peter Doig, Nick Goss, Chantal Joffe, Hew Locke, Sarah Lucas, Adam McEwen, Steve McQueen, Lucy McKenzie, Cornelia Parker (who was also featured as The Met's 2016 Roof Garden Commission artist), Bridget Riley, Rachel Whiteread, as well as Vanessa Bell, Lucian Freud, Roger Fry, and Barbara Hepworth. A new Met Façade commission, and an exhibition, each by British artists, are planned in the coming years. With a curatorial team representing expertise from across the globe, she is building a distinctive collection for the Met, both culturally and geographically, to reflect the historic depth of its global collections. Before joining the Met, Wagstaff was Chief Curator of Tate Modern, London, where, for 11 years, she was responsible for initiating the exhibition program, the Turbine Hall artist commissions, and contributing to the conceptual framework of collection displays. With the Tate Director, she worked with architects Herzog & de Meuron on the design for the Tate Modern Switch House building. She curated noteworthy exhibitions such as Roy Lichtenstein; John Burke + Simon Norfolk: Photographs from the War in Afghanistan; Jeff Wall Photographs 1978-2004; Darren Almond: Night as Day; and Mona Hatoum: The Entire World as a Foreign Land. Over the course of her career, Wagstaff has worked for the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford; the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London; The Frick Art Museum, Pittsburgh; and Tate Britain, London, where she played a seminal role in its transformation from the former Tate Gallery. She is a member of the Foundation for the Preservation of Art in Embassies (FAPE), and from 2013-2019, she was a United States Nominating Committee Member for Praemium Imperiale. She has written and edited many publications, and lectured widely. Brought to you by the British Consulate General, New York. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
Alex has been exploring Camus' surprisingly woke speeches, exploring the role the artist has to play in politics and understanding whilst Rhiannon has been facing her mortality in Atul Gawande's book about standards of care for the elderly. Alex shares with us the importance of generalists and having hobbies in a world that prioritises hyper specialisation. Rhiannon has discovered Olivia Colman's secrets for securing a partner in the National Theatre's Life in Stages, whilst Alex has been confronting how little she knows about art with the Great Women Artists Podcast.

In episode 64 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews the acclaimed writer ALI SMITH (!!!!) on Pauline Boty, Barbara Hepworth, Tacita Dean and Lorenza Mazzetti !!!! [This episode is brought to you by Alighieri jewellery: www.alighieri.co.uk | use the code TGWA at checkout for 10% off!] The FINAL episode of Season 5 of the GWA Podcast, we speak to one of the GREATEST authors and writers in the world, Ali Smith, about the artists who act as the 'spine' for her recently-completed series of four stand-alone novels, grouped as the Seasonal Quartet: Pauline Boty in Autumn, Barbara Hepworth in Winter, Tacita Dean in Spring, and filmmaker Lorenza Mazetti in Summer, who in their own way, as presences as people, spirits, or their work, interweave into each story so beautifully. Written in the space of four years, between 2016–2020, these books track and are witness to, some of the most unprecedented, and extraordinary events in living history. Beginning with Autumn, known as the first-Brexit novel, the final book in the series, Summer, was written in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. Born in Inverness, Scotland, and now based in Cambridge, Ali Smith is acclaimed for her fictional work, and non-fiction writing on some of my favourite artists. The author of Public library and other stories, How to be both, Shire, Artful, and MANY OTHERS, Smith has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize, the Orange Prize, The Man Booker Prize, and has won the Bailey's Prize, the Goldsmiths Prize and the Costa Novel of the Year Award for her brilliant novel, How To Be Both. PAULINE BOTY – AUTUMN One of the most important artists to change the face of British Pop Art (as well as being an Actress, TV star, radio commentator, who read Proust) Pauline Boty EPITOMISED the possibilities of the modern Pop woman. She captured the glamour and vivacity of the 1960s, including those of music stars to film icons, think Marylin to Elvis, Boty worshipped the proliferation of imagery available in the post-War era. BARBARA HEPWORTH – WINTER The Titan of British sculpture, Hepworth set up a studio in St Ives during World War II, and is hailed for her small-to-colossal hand-carved wooden sculptures. Cast in stone and bronze, sometimes embedded with strings or flashes of colour, and fluctuating between hard and soft, light and dark, round and straight, solid and hollow, the spirit of Hepworth's work is at the spine of Spring and through Ali's incredible writing makes us SEE differently. TACITA DEAN – SPRING Filmmaker and artist, Dean, seven-metre-wide work The Montafon Letter is a vast chalk drawing on nine blackboards joined together, looms in Spring (and is also an exhibition visited by the protagonist Richard at the Royal Academy). Dean says in some ways the work about Brexit and about hope; “hope that the last avalanche will uncover us”. Much like Smith's post-Brexit novels. LORENZA MAZZETTI – SUMMER A new artist for me, this story of the Italian-born filmmaker who came of age in the 1960s is one of the most profound in the history of art. I am not going to tell you anything else other than listen to Ali tell her story.

Può un proiettile cambiare la storia dell'arte? Sì, se se lo becca Andy Warhol. Dopo aver rischiato di morire per mano della scrittrice Valerie Solanas, infatti, Warhol cambia completamente stile, nell'arte e nella vita. Non si circonda più di artisti derelitti, ma di gente di successo e il tema della morte sparisce dalle sue opere. Ma la morte può essere sinonimo di denuncia, come nel caso di Black Lives Matter e delle opere di artisti com Arthur Jafa e Teresa Margolles. O aprire varchi su altri mondi, come nell'arte di Apichatpong “Joe” Weerasethakul. Infine, Costantino e Francesco ci spiegano perché una vespa può essere molto più letale di uno squalo.In questa puntata si parla di Andrej Tarkovskij, Andy Warhol, Valerie Solanas, Richard Nixon, Mao Tse-Tung, Ronald Reagan, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Francesco Clemente, Jed Johnson, Candy Darling, James Dean, Salvador Dalí, Dorothy Pobder, Matteo Salvini, Alexandre Iolas, Leonardo da Vinci, Arthur Jafa, Steve McQueen, Santiago Sierra, Achille Mbembe, Michel Foucault, Teresa Margolles, Laszlo Thot, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Paolo Bonolis, Damien Hirst, Maurizio Cattelan, Marlene Dumas, Francisco Goya, Agnolo Bronzino, Mohammed Bouyeri, Theo van Gogh, Apichatpong “Joe” Weerasethakul e Tacita Dean.
As her retrospective opens at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Ethiopian-born, New York-based artist Julie Mehretu talks in depth about her life and work. She discusses the rich language she uses in her paintings, drawing on geopolitical subject matter but pushing towards abstraction. She talks about the influence of contemporary artists like David Hammons, Kara Walker and Glenn Ligon, her collaboration with the British artist Tacita Dean, how Rembrandt made his mark on her as a child and the way she uses news photography as the basis for her most recent works. She talks about her literary influences, from Toni Morrison to Chris Abani, on the music she listens to in her studio, from Sun Ra to Joan Armatrading, and her fruitful collaborations with the jazz pianist Jason Moran and the theatre and opera director Peter Sellars. Among much else, she also talks about the cultural experience that changed the way she sees the world, the one work of art she would choose to live with, and answers our ultimate question: what is art for?

Astrophysicist Dame Jocelyn Bell-Burnell, poets Sam Illingworth and Sunayana Bhargava, and C19 expert and New Generation Thinker Greg Tate from the University of St Andrews join Anne McElvoy to discuss the parallels between poetry and Victorian laboratory work. Dame Jocelyn Bell-Burnell, is perhaps most famous for first discovering Pulsars - strange spinning massively dense stars that emit powerful regular pulses of radiation. she has been President of the Royal Astronomical Society and the Institute of Physics, and more recently was recipient of the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. Alongside, she collects poetry related to Astronomy. Greg Tate's next book looks at the physical and metaphysical part of rhythm in verse by C19 physical scientists. Sam Illingworth's book "Sonnet to Science" looks at several scientists who have resorted to poetry in their work. Sunayana Bhargava works at University of Sussex studying distant galactic clusters, and is also a practising poet. Previously she was Barbican young Poet. You can hear Greg discussing the 19th-century scientist and mountaineer John Tyndall in a Free Thinking programme which also looks at mountains through the eyes of artist Tacita Dean https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b3fkt3 and a short feature about poetry and science in the 19th century https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04n2zcp Tristram Hunt, Director of the V&A Museum and Sir Paul Nurse, Director of the Francis Crick Institute, debate the divide and the links between arts and science in a Free Thinking debate recording at Queen Mary University London https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001f5f Producer: Alex Mansfield.

A new theatrical adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein at The Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre aims to be one of the most faithful versions to the original novel. What does this add to our understanding of the play and of the Creature? This year's Palme d'Or winning film The Square, is a Swedish satirical drama dealing with the world of contemporary art and our personal boundaries and responsibilities. Chloe Benjamin's latest novel 'The Immortalists' follows the lives of a group of contemporary New York Jewish American siblings and poses the question "how would you live your life if you knew the day you would die'? Two exhibitions have opened this week in London of the work of Tacita Dean (former YBA), known primarily for her work in film Annihilation is a new release on Netflix, written and directed by Alex Garland.

What is art - and why do we need it? Fifty years ago the landmark BBC Two series Civilisation set out to answer this question. Now historians Mary Beard, Simon Schama and David Olusoga take on this challenge of defining human civilisation through art, in a bold update renamed Civilisations. Mary Beard tells Andrew Marr how humans have chosen to depict themselves, from enormous pre-historic heads in Mexico to lustful paintings meant for male eyes. She unpicks the bloody battle between religion and art, and declares that "one man's art is another's barbarity". But should art make us recoil? Simon Schama explores our urge to destroy the images we dislike, and finds that hatred and destruction have followed art through the centuries. This clash of religions and cultures has enriched art, argues David Olusoga. He sees culture on the frontline as empires expanded and a battle took place to define what art could be. This spring the artist Tacita Dean offers her own account of art's value and meaning as she unveils three exhibitions at once: exploring landscapes at the Royal Academy, portraits at the National Portrait Gallery and still life at the National Gallery.
