About Art episodes

  • 77. Jerry Garcia

    Jerry Garcia is a principal at Olson Kundig since 2006. Throughout his tenure in Seattle, he has been an active instigator in the dialogue between architecture, art and the community at large. Working across a broad range of project types and scales, from 200 square-foot cabins on wheels to high-rises around the world, Jerry’s work has received numerous design awards and appeared in publications such as Architecture, Architectural Record, and Art+Auction. For Jerry, “Good architecture rewards inspection – the deeper you look, the more you see.”


    He and Zuckerman discuss work being fun, the reach out, professional rebellion, not wanting to be complacent, being better, what we carry, getting to pick everyone around you, hiring people who scare you, knowing what to do, bird watching, knowing where to look, art that is barely art, not being complacent, and living different a life!

  • 76. Lily Stockman

    Lily Stockman’s paintings are arrangements of biomorphic shapes, planes, and borders that draw from her affinity for the natural world and interest in the organizing principles of structure, from poetry meter to musical form. Building her linen surfaces up in layers of luminous oil, she references and borrows from influences ranging from the palette of Fra Angelico’s 15th-century frescoes, to the line work of 18th-century Rajput miniature paintings, and the compositions of 19th-century “gift drawings” made by Shaker women. Her passion for the landscapes that so deeply inform her work connects her to a lineage of American abstractionists devoted to their chosen geographic and spiritual terrain, from Agnes Martin’s Desert Southwest, to Forrest Bess’s Gulf Coast, and Myron Stout’s New England coastline.  

    She and I discuss a soft structure, poetry, jock rock, the mystery and comfort of painting, Shaker society, translation of the divine, keeping company, being a color shape painter, the space between things, love letters, the corner of doom, an exuberance of color, fellowship, who you do things for, and understanding the world!

  • 75. Lucy Bull

    Lucy Bull makes visceral paintings that appeal directly to the senses. Synesthetic fields of shape and color, the paintings are described in sonic, tactile, or even emotional terms that evade rational logic and are unique to each viewer. Worlds take shape across their varied surfaces and just as quickly fall away again; similarly, just when the act of looking generates optical overload or disruptive dissonance, Bull’s accumulations of marks reveal discernible traces of planning and hard-fought negotiations with her materials, leading the viewer back toward the concrete realities of pigment, medium, and surface. As she engages in these open-ended painterly experiments, Bull makes room for both precision and abandon, inviting viewers to participate in ever-unfinished processes of creation that she choreographs but never fully controls. Born in New York in 1990, Bull now lives and works in Los Angeles.


    She and I discuss planning to be late, being seated next to each other at a gallery dinner, having your preferences taken into consideration, care and curiosity, talking AT artwork, what photography misses, short circuiting someone else’s perspective, the speed of looking at art, being a graveyard shift worker, stolen time, loving doing what you love, what is foolish, the importance of fun and experimentation, a tabletop exhibition space, weird intimacy, hermit crabs, easing into working, wandering through paintings, and transferring the experiencing of making them!

  • 74. Joost Bosland

    Joost Bosland is one of the thirteen owners of Stevenson, a gallery with spaces in Cape Town and Johannesburg, and an office in Amsterdam. He has been with the gallery since a three-month internship in 2005. Among the artists Bosland works closely with at the gallery are Moshekwa Langa, Zanele Muholi, Robin Rhode, and Viviane Sassen. Stevenson opened in 2003, and currently represents 31 artists and employs 34 people. In the absence of local institutions dedicated to contemporary art, from 2005 to 2015 the gallery was instrumental in bringing international artists to South Africa, often for the first time.


    He and Zuckerman discuss unrealized projects, being at it for a long time, the art world as a way of imagining a better world, making 2+2=5, existing outside of traditional centers, collective ownership, changing power dynamics, the art of being a gallerist, the A word, the nuance of representing the complex geography of Africa, soaking in people, Art Basel, finding people who need your skill set, mentors, and making the world a better place!

  • 73. Sophie Chahinian

    Sophie Chahinian is a filmmaker and the founder of the The Artist Profile Archive (TAPA). TAPA produces short artist documentary profiles on contemporary artists to create an archive thereby making contemporary art more accessible to wider audiences. All the films are  available for free on TAPA’s website and social media channels. Her recent documentary profiles include Alexandra Grant and Robert Longo. Growing up in Los Angeles, Chahinian became interested in independent film production through her work with Light and Space artist Eric Orr in the late 1990s.


    She and Zuckerman discuss the creativity of the kitchen, the effortful and effortless, commitments, discipline and schedules, changing perspectives, “just fine,” the types of questions we ask, democratizing access to art, transcendence found in art, becoming an expert, understanding who we are, the concept of the oneness, art as seduction, and defining the parameters of our own humanity!

  • 72. Shlomi Rabi

    Shlomi Rabi is a twenty-year veteran of the auction world.  Most recently he held the position of Vice President, Head of the Photographs Department for the Americas at Christie’s, where he oversaw a record number of single-owner auctions.  During his tenure in the auction industry, Shlomi closely worked on multiple institutional collaborations, which included the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Art Institute of Chicago; Aperture Foundation, and Elton John AIDS Foundation. As an immigrant from the Middle East raised in Central America, Shlomi’s passion for the arts is informed by his desire to champion and empower creatives whose vision and voices are too often marginalized.


    He and Zuckerman discuss decompressing, magical places, recommendations, a vision of safe spaces, being comfortable in your own head, meditation, doing pull-ups, doing something for yourself in complete silence, mental intimacy, the privilege of making plans, manifesting emotions, patience, building a green auction house, being motivated to change the cannon, empowering artists individually, and scholarships for art history students!

  • 71. Casey Reitz

    Casey Reitz is President of the Segerstrom Center of the Arts, a multi-disciplinary cultural institution in Costa Mesa, CA, appointed in 2019. Since 2010, Reitz served as Executive Director of Second Stage Theater in New York City, winning a Tony Award as Best Musical Producer of Dear Evan Hansen in 2017, and where he successfully led the acquisition, renovation and re-opening of Broadway’s Helen Hayes Theater.

    He and I discuss watching the audience, experiencing the great works, suspension of disbelief, the draw of Southern California, the town square, having broad and vast ambition, being afraid to leave New York, how every detail matters, taking your work seriously, being an artist, bringing people joy, not maintaining the status quo, fabulous failures, letting things be quiet, and the beauty and courage of creativity!

    She and Zuckerman discuss working in the arts in India, different realities, whether all artists should be judged by the same standards, taking chances, artists as activists, NFTs as social equalizers, developing a virtual eco system for the arts and democratizing art in India, that it is ok to upset people, being at the edge of the past and the future, the art scene in Delhi, dialogues, whether there is a separate Indian paradigm, the gift of art, how to attract the most amount of people to art, the power of art to change people, art and transcendence, how to experience the infinite and feel connected to life, our souls, what is the worst that can happen in the presence of art, what is next, twenty-two minute meditation, and the importance of context!
