Today's show is with Danielle Vermeer, recently the co-founder & CEO of a startup called Teleport, and you may also know her online as Goodwill Hunting – which is the name of her newsletter about resale and secondhand fashion. An avid thrifter of 20+ years, Danielle has long been interested in the impact she could make at the intersections of fashion, tech, and sustainability. She recently took a leap from leading resale & circular fashion at Amazon to join Teleport as Co-founder & CEO. Teleport is an early stage startup where users post no-filter videos of their shoppable, thrifted outfits. Think if TikTok and Depop had a baby. We chat about Danille's story with secondhand, how she hasn't purchased any new clothes for over 11 years, what she's learned working to bring circular fashion to scale, and how we're moving into a new era of resale. Plus so much more! This episode is full of insights about the secondhand space, so let's just dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [3:30] Playing with the Barbie fashion design computer game in the 90s [7:16] Her story with thrift and secondhand started with buying a pair of platform, Spice Girls-inspired boots for a friend's birthday gift at the local consignment store. [9:52] Quitting fast fashion and starting her 11+ year commitment to ‘no new clothes' [12:20] Danielle's career at the intersection of fashion and tech. [17:30] Building out luxury resale at Amazon Fashion, and her key learnings about how resale business models differ from retail at scale. [24:20] Is rental a sustainable business model long-term? [27:16] The different eras of online resale platforms – from eBay and Craigslist, to the present day – and what comes next. [38:17] How we educate younger consumers about choosing quality fashion and the role of personal style, when all they have known is fast fashion.

On March 18th, 1990 two men disguised as Boston police officers entered the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and overpowered the two security guards on duty. In just 81 minutes, the thieves stole over $600 MILLION worth of historic art. Valued at over $200 million at the time. The Gardner Museum heist remains the biggest art theft in the world - and the biggest private property theft in US history if not in the history of world. Thirty-three years later, the case still remains unsolved. So who stole thirteen very valuable works of art? Where are they now? All of this and so much more in a unique, true crime edition of Timesuck. Want to apply for the Cummins Family Scholarship fund? The application process opens on MARCH 6TH, 2023.

Maarten is vernietigend over wat hij de crisis van de democratie noemt: het referendum. Tom vraagt Van Rossem naar gekkies, de generatie-oorlog en de tentoonstelling van Vermeer.
I've come to believe that those works of literature and poetry that have stood the test of time have more to offer those seeking a meaningful life than all the self help books in the world. They have the ability to bypass the protective walls that so many of us build around our gentle, scared and vulnerable hearts - those walls that stand firm and umoveable in the face of seeming frontal assaults by the well meaning self help books (which, tellingly, often reference those works to make their point). This is so, it seems, because they speak to us through stories and myths that set themselves in our hearts and minds - ready for recall when we are ready to learn, much like Christ's reason for teaching in parables: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Also, I believe that the reason these great works of literature and poetry persist is because they were inspired by and deal with the human condition - the basics of which remain constant as evidenced by the fact that the adventures of Odysseus still permeate our culture, whether in print, on stage or on film ("O, Brother Where are Thou?" - classic) more than 2,500 years after Homer handed them down. "The Odyssey" and "The Illiad" persist because the same passions that ran through the veins of Homer run through ours and, more importantly, he, like the great writers throughout history, had the gift to genuinely infuse that passion into his stories and characters. ("East of Eden" in my hands or probably in most hands, for instance, wouldn't have even found a publisher, but in Steinbeck's hands, we were given as powerful a story/lesson as I've ever read.) So, we feel their pain with defeat and their joy with victory. We relate when they stumble and fall from grace, and as a result, we don't feel so alone in our brokenness. The same can be said for the enduring stories, poems and mythologies of all cultures: they endure because they resonate with our humanity and they remind us what it means to be human. And then, when we are ready, we can find in them comfort or learning or both as has so many people before us. In episode 18 of The Poet (delayed), read my poem, "I'm a Poet" and I am joined by Salt Lake City based author, poet, editor and my new friend, Jennifer Adams. I read my poem, "I'm a Poet," and Jen and I discuss the power of literature and poetry as well as her newest of book, "All's Right With the World," inspired by Robert Browning's poem, Pippa's Song, which will be released March 7, 2023. It can be pre-purchased at The King's English Bookshop (https://www.kingsenglish.com/book/9780062962485) and Barnes and Noble (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/alls-right-with-the-world-jennifer-adams/1141622696;jsessionid=30D4A4FFB656EF3237C0CC83D1AA35BC.prodny_store02-atgap02?ean=9780062962485) I'M A POET I'm a wordsmith. Wielding my Montblanc hammer On my Moleskine anvil. I shape words and forge them together. Quenching them in my inky oil to temper them. To make them hard for breaking souls. I'm a word weaver. Weaving on my parchment loom, I guide the weft threads of metaphors Through taut warp threads of nouns and verbs. Resulting in a strong, velvety weave For binding up broken souls. I'm a painter. My palette is full of words for mixing: Some fresh and liquid, some dry and hard. At times I work them smooth and technical (Vermeer in verse). Other times raw and passionate (Van Gogh in verse) Each painting with an Abrahamic number of interpretations. I'm a wordsmith I'm a weaver I'm a painter I'm a poet. I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed. You can email me at poetdelayed@gmail.com. If you're interested, my first book of poetry, My Mother Sleeps is available for purchase at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Scott-R.-Edgar/e/B0B2ZR7W41%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share) and The King's English Bookshop (https://www.kingsenglish.com/search/author/%22Edgar%2C%20Scott%20R.%22) Special Guest: Jennifer Adams.

Duizenden bezoekers zagen de afgelopen week de 28 schilderijen van Vermeer, die voor het eerst bij elkaar zijn in het Rijksmuseum. Alle kaartjes voor de komende maanden waren razendsnel uitverkocht. Vermeer is immens populair. En zijn ook andere Nederlandse schilders, uit zijn tijd en van veel later. Van Rembrandt tot Van Gogh: tentoonstellingen trekken heel veel publiek. Vanwaar die populariteit? Is het PR of verkopen de schilderijen zichzelf? En welke rol speelt geld bij de keuzes die musea maken? In de podcast vertelt kunsthistoricus Joke de Wolf over de verering van deze nationale helden. Want dat zijn deze schilders geworden, net als popmuzikanten. Ze vertelt hoe dat zo gegroeid is. En hoe dit soort tentoonstellingen - en alles wat daar omheen georganiseerd wordt – ook nieuw publiek enthousiast kan maken. Reageren? Mail dedag@radio1.nl
In this very special episode Phil speaks to 'Girl With a Pearl Earring' author Tracy Chevalier from the Rijksmuseum's once-in-a-lifetime Vermeer exhibition. Phil and Tracy stand before a masterpiece and discuss it's surprising history...
C'est la silhouette d'une femme sereine, concentrée et appliquée dans son ouvrage, représentée dans des couleurs surannées : celle de la laitière et son pot de lait, qui habille les fameux yaourts de grande surface à qui elle a aussi offert son nom. Mais c'est aussi et avant tout un tableau de Vermeer, une des œuvres de jeunesse du peintre néerlandais. Le coup marketing est né dans les années 70 : à l'époque, un commercial du groupe Chambourcy (racheté par Nestlé depuis) imagine un yaourt au lait entier dans des pots en verre, un produit alors haut de gamme puisqu'à l'époque la plupart des yaourts sont produits avec du lait écrémé et vendus dans des pots en carton.Pour asseoir leur crédibilité, nombreuses sont les marques à mettre en scène un image de terroir. Dans un monde moderne ultra capitaliste, l'industrie agroalimentaire redouble d'inventivité pour s'offrir un vernis d'ancienneté, valoriser le côté historique d'un savoir faire et mettre en scène une réputation de maison ancienne. En fait, l'histoire des marques n'est rien de moins que l'histoire des mythes. Pour le comprendre, j'ai tendu le micro à l'historien des marques Jean Watin-Augouard et au spécialiste des mythes Georges Lewi.Bouffons est un podcast de Nouvelles Écoutes Écrit et animé par Émilie Laystary avec l'aide de Diane LesieurMontage et mixage par Laurie Galigani Produit par Julien NeuvilleDirectrice Générale Adjointe : Nora HissemDirectrice Des productions : Marion GourdonDirectrice artistique : Aurore MahieuChargée de production : Diane LesieurVous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Tracy Chevalier discusses a historic Vermeer exhibition at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, the largest collection of his paintings ever assembled including Girl with a Pearl Earring, which was celebrated by Chevalier's 1999 novel of the same name. Bristol Old Vic is collaborating with four universities in the West Country for a major study into audience reactions in the theatre. Do reactions in the auditorium differ from those watching it online? Melanie Abbott investigates, talking to Iain Gilchrist from University of Bristol, Mike Richardson from University of Bath, Charlotte Geeves from Bristol Old Vic, actor Sophie Steer and Emma Keith, Director of Digital Media at the National Theatre. The finely wrought rhyming and metrical poetry of A. E. Stallings has won her prizes in the US, but until now she has not been published in the UK. Manchester-based publisher Carcanet is putting this right with This Afterlife, her Selected Poems. A. E. Stallings talks about living in Greece, drawing on classical mythology, making art out of the minutiae of life, and the joy of rhythm and rhyme. Jonathan Howard of The King's Singers tells us about the recent cancellation of a concert they were due to perform at Pensacola Christian College in Florida, over what the group says were "concerns related to the sexuality of members."

Mike Vermeer is the Manager of Broadband for Panduit.
Taco Dibbits is kunsthistoricus. Sinds 15 juli 2016 is Dibbits hoofddirecteur van het Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. Sinds zijn indiensttreding bij het Rijksmuseum heeft Dibbits een belangrijke rol gespeeld bij de ontwikkeling van de indeling van het nieuwe Rijksmuseum, het verwerven van nieuwe aanwinsten voor de collectie en het opzetten van het tentoonstellingsprogramma. Vanaf februari vind je in het Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam de overzichtstentoonstelling Vermeer. Speciaal voor deze tentoonstelling lenen musea van over de hele wereld hun Vermeer-topstukken uit. Femke van der Laan gaat met Taco Dibbits in gesprek.
In this arts special, we visit Jerusalem's Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and catch up with legendary art critic and Pulitzer Prize winner Jerry Saltz to discuss his book ‘Art Is Life: Icons and Iconoclasts, Visionaries and Vigilantes, and Flashes of Hope'. Plus: Tracy Chevalier, author of ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring', joins Robert Bound to discuss the new Vermeer exhibition at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum and her own special connection with the works.
Dutch rescue workers join the international team searching the rubble of this week's earthquake in Turkey and Syria for survivors. Back home, Mark Rutte surveys the wreckage of his asylum policy as the Council of State throws out a rule delaying family reunions. The team investigating the MH17 disaster say the chain of command went all the way up to Vladimir Putin. We ask if Dutch cheese and Belgian roads explain the Benelux hegemony in cyclo-cross. And we reveal why thousands of museum goers will miss the most famous girl in The Hague when she pays a rare visit to Amsterdam. The episode on the collapse of Forum voor Democratie was in week 48 of 2020 called "The Forum Voor Democrazy Edition" and the segment starts at 17:20.
In this special episode, we are in Amsterdam for one of the shows of the year: Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum. As an unprecedented 28 of the 37 surviving Vermeer paintings are gathered in the Dutch capital, Ben Luke talks to several people involved in the project: Gregor Weber, one of the exhibition's curators, tells us about his new biography that reveals the depth of influence of the Jesuits and Catholicism on the artist. In the exhibition itself, we talk to Pieter Roelofs, Weber's co-curator; Ige Verslype, a conservator who led an extensive research project on Vermeer paintings in the Rijksmuseum, Mauritshuis and Frick collections; and Taco Dibbits, the Rijksmuseum's director. Plus, we bump into the artist Alvaro Barrington in the exhibition and he tells us what he makes of Vermeer as an artist working today. In this episode's Work of the Week, we explore a debate around the attribution of a painting: Betsy Wieseman, Curator and Head of the Department of Northern European Paintings at the National Gallery of Art (NGA) in Washington DC, discusses Girl with a Flute (around 1669-75). Wieseman and her NGA colleagues now regard the painting as a work by Vermeer's studio, even though it appears in the Rijksmuseum show as an authentic work by the master.Vermeer, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, until 4 June. Gregor Weber, Johannes Vermeer: Faith, Light, Reflection, Rijksmuseum, €25 (pb) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on Netherlands Vermeer Exhibition.
Turkey declares a state of emergency as efforts to rescue people continue in the wake of Monday's devastating earthquakes. The UN warns that the flow of aid into north-west Syria has been disrupted because of damage to roads. Also: Russia's foreign minister is in Mali, and the biggest collection of Vermeer paintings is going on show.
Rescuers continue the search for survivors amid fears that tens of thousands could still be trapped beneath rubble. The WHO warns that the chances of finding people are diminishing by the minute due to sub-zero temperatures. Also on the programme, the farmers hit by South Africa's ongoing power crisis; and the exhibition of Vermeer's paintings that's being described as “once-in-a-lifetime.”
Rimane acceso il dibattito tra due musei di primo piano a livello internazionale sull'autenticità di un'opera del celebre pittore olandese.
Mark Rutte went to Washington this week and said the Netherlands would definitely send some weapons to Ukraine at an unspecified time in the near future. Mayors in three cities suggested digital banning orders to curb gang violence, even though they don't know what they are, how they'd work or whether they're even legal. Good news on the energy front as gas prices start to come down and Geert Wilders becomes the unlikely saviour of solar panel subsidies. The Rijksmuseum extends its opening hours after tickets for its Vermeer show sell faster than hot kroketten. And Griekspoor's Australian dream ends in a Greek tragedy following his victory in the battle of the clones. Rijksmuseum Vermeer website: https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/nl/johannes-vermeer
Valt er nog iets nieuws te vertellen over Johannes Vermeer, de schilder van het 'Meisje met de parel' en ‘Het melkmeisje'? Ja zeker! Heel wat, zo blijkt. In de aanloop naar de grote Vermeer-tentoonstelling deed Gregor Weber onderzoek naar hoe Vermeers katholieke omgeving van invloed is geweest op zijn leven en schilderwerk. Zo is hij meer te weten gekomen over het gebruik van de camera obscura. Hoe kwam Vermeer hiermee in aanraking? En wat heeft zijn buurman van de orde van de jezuïeten ermee te maken?Wil je weten hoe de genoemde werken eruit zien? Kijk op Podcast: In het Rijksmuseum - RijksmuseumHet boek van Gregor J.M. Weber, 'Johannes Vermeer: Faith, Light and Reflection' / 'Johannes Vermeer: Geloof, licht en reflectie' is verkrijgbaar in de boekhandel vanaf 9 februari 2023.

We had an amazing year of interviews with business owners and subject matter experts and I'm serving up our top 3. This is the #2 in a 3 part series Today you will hear from Brian Stream CEO of Vermeer. I've received more comments and excitement about this podcast episode then any other.

In the early hours of March 18, 1990, two men dressed as police officers entered the museum and managed to steal 13 works of art, including paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Manet. The crime remains unsolved to this day, and the stolen art has never been recovered!Join us as we take a deep dive into the details of the heist, the investigation that followed, and the theories surrounding the missing art.

Julian and Matthew take a long look at the 1999 film Teal Swan was reportedly obsessed with as a teen. Girl, Interrupted is a bold adaptation of a 1993 memoir by the writer Susanna Kaysen about the 18 months she spent undergoing treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder in a Massachusetts psychiatric facility in the late 1960s. This is episode 7 of the Swan Song Series.This study is provoked by a memory recounted by Swan's childhood friend, Diana Hansen Ribera, that Swan identified with the character of Lisa Rowe in the film. Angelina Jolie won an Oscar for her searing performance of Rowe, a sociopath.

The light is muted, winter light, but her face is bright. I looked into her brown eyes and I recoiled. She was warning me of something—she had looked up from her work to warn me. Her mouth was slightly open, as if she had just drawn a breath in order to say to me, “Don't!” I moved backward, trying to get beyond the range of her urgency.

You've seen it. A woman in a blue turban set against a black background looking over her shoulder like you just called her name. She's wearing a heavy pearl earring in one ear, and her skin is so luminous it looks like she swallowed a light bulb. Yes, I'm talking about Girl with a Pearl Earring, one of the most famous paintings in the world. It's been reproduced countless times on mugs, t-shirts, and pillows. It has inspired poems, novels, and movies. But the artist who created Girl with a Pearl Earring, he remains shrouded in mystery. Strangely little is known about Johannes Vermeer. He lived in Holland in the 17th century and died in 1675 at the age of 43. He made fewer than 36 paintings. And audiences around the globe are fascinated by his portrayals of quiet domesticity. It's always been assumed he worked in the same kind of solitude that he often depicted in his paintings. But new research is challenging that assumption. Over the past several years, museums have used cutting edge technology to get under the surface of Vermeer and learn more about how he actually worked. To discuss Vermeer's many secrets and the artist we thought we knew, Executive Editor, Julia Halperin, spoke with Kriston Capps, a Washington DC based contributor to Artnet News.
The Red Jackson photograph by Gordon Parks sent me into a whirlwind of reactions from the first time I saw it. Encountering this black and white masterpiece in the Metropolitan Museum of Art feels like a lucky break at first. It's a thoughtful photographic version of a Vermeer that's still fresh today, even though it's from 1948. Read LadyKflo's collected works.

Be sure to subscribe to both Who ARTed and Art Smart, both Airwave Media Podcasts, for a weekly art history fix. Thank you for letting me feature this episode on Han van Meegeren, Kyle. Art of History will return in its regular format, with TWO new episodes next month. The late 1930s were a rough time in Europe. Nazis were on the rise, and museums began hiding their most treasured works or even shipping them off to safe locations. As all of these works were floating around in the art world and many pieces being hidden, Hans van Meegeren emerged as an art dealer with some lost Vermeers. As I explained in the previous episode about the Vermeer stolen from the Isabella Steward Gardner museum, there aren't a lot of Vermeer paintings and much of his biography is unknown. There are some historians who believe Vermeer studied under an artist who was heavily influenced by Caravaggio. Van Meegeren was celebrated for bringing the world the gift of these lost Caravaggio-influenced Vermeer paintings. The critics loved the paintings and they loved Van Meegeren for discovering these lost works. He sold them for huge amounts and over just a few years amassed a fortune of about $30 million in today's money. The thing is Van Meegeren would sell to anyone with money, including the Nazis. Hermann Goering, Hitler's vice chancellor was an art lover. He particularly loved the Vermeer painting he got from Van Meegeren. In the 1940s, the allies came knocking to ask why Han van Meegeren was doing business with the Nazis. Now whatever they expected to hear as his response, I guarantee they were surprised. Van Meegeren declared that he deserved to be treated as a hero for his dealings with the Nazis because all of the works he sold them were fakes. He claimed that by selling and trading these forgeries he was able to get 137 authentic Dutch masterpieces from the Nazis. It was an interesting defense, that he was not a war criminal but simply a forger. It would be hard for anyone to feel sympathy for the victims of this crime but most found it too hard to believe.

A painting thought to be by Johannes Vermeer isn't a Vermeer after all. The 17th-century Dutch master left behind few works, so take even one away and it's a big deal. New technology is allowing experts to see art in a different way and help make these judgments.

This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by beloved Lawfare contributor and UVA Law professor Ashley Deeks, fresh from her latest stint at the White House. They hashed through some of the week's big national security news, including:“The Bridge and Pummel Crowd.” Ukraine's destruction of a symbolic bridge linking Russia to Crimea has observers worried about a new round of escalation, as Russia responded with missile strikes on a range of civilian targets across the country, including a German consulate in Kyiv, with promises of more to come. Are we entering a new, brutal phase of the conflict? What can be done to stop its civilian toll—or to keep the escalatory spiral from spinning out of control?“Finally, Some Decency and Moderation on the Supreme Court.” Last week, the Supreme Court took up not one but two—albeit, two closely related—cases that center on how to apply Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a law that provides internet companies with immunity for liability arising from user-generated content they host and protects their ability to moderate content. What might this judicial scrutiny mean for the future of content moderation on the internet?“1,001 Arabian Slights.” Saudi Arabia's decision to cut oil production—a move expected to drive up oil prices and slow the global economy, to the benefit of Russia and other producers—has some members of Congress up in arms. This is especially true as it came on the end of a summer visit by President Biden that controversially seemed to signal a willingness to thaw relations with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which have grown icy since his involvement in the 2018 killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. What do these steps mean for the future of the U.S.-Saudi relationship?For object lessons, Alan shared his wife's love for ch-ch-ch-chia pets. Quinta shared a story of voter fraud and corruption in one of America's greatest institutions: NPS's Fat Bear Week competition. Scott shared his joyfully music-filled week and urged listeners to check out his favorite album of all time, celebrating its 20th anniversary. And Ashley passed along a revealing story about the fake Vermeer discovered at the National Gallery of Art. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Libertarian magicians Penn & Teller turn their gaze to the art world in TIM'S VERMEER (2013), a documentary that attempts to prove that, with just the right set of tools and a lot of money, one wealthy entrepreneur can paint a Vermeer.
