About Art episodes

February 23, 2021 57. Sarah Sutton
Sarah Sutton is Principal of Sustainable Museums. For three decades she has worked in the museum field with a specific focus on climate awareness in the cultural sector. Sutton works with the leadership of individual institutions as they prepare and launch mission-specific climate initiatives, or plan more strategic engagement with initiatives around environmental sustainability and climate resilience.

She and Zuckerman discuss museums and the climate crisis, Helen Frankenthaler and her values, LEED certification and the early aught building boom, climate, Covid, economics and equity, “just” doing what we do, how to surface answers you don’t know, how art documents climate change, opening the science-based discussion on climatization of museum collections, the push that funding allows, the risk of action but also non-action, carbon offsets, and how a single person can make major things happen at an institution!

February 16, 2021 56. Lynn Goldsmith
Lynn Goldsmith is more than the “Rock and Roll photographer” of Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, and so many others. She has made kind, collaborative, and keenly perceptive portraits of world leaders like John Lewis, John McCain, and Jane Goodall. She is an artist who works in photography, painting, performance, spoken word and released “Will Powers” on Island Records in 1983.

Goldsmith and Zuckerman discuss learning instead of judging, seeing more than what other people can see, the camera as a tool for answers, portrait photographers as psychologists, control, pattern interrupts, having a limited amount of time, breaking limitations, having a platform, taking pictures of beloved musical icons, the power of dress, confronting and utilizing our fears, making life lighter, and why hard work matters!

February 09, 2021 55. David Glasser
David Glasser is the two decade Chairman & CEO of the Ben Uri Gallery and Museum in the U.K. and oversaw its recreation as the first full-scale virtual art museum and research center. Ben Uri Gallery and Museum was founded in 1915 in Whitechapel's Jewish ghetto in the East End of London, by émigré Russian artist Lazar Berson who previously exhibited with Chagall in Paris. In 2000, a new strategic direction was built around scholarship and expanding the remit from solely Jewish artists by incorporating the wider, diverse immigrant artist experience in Britain since 1900.

Glasser and Zuckerman discuss the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design and the founding goal, museum relevancy in the 21st century, defining distinctive strength, doing a collections audit, being a public benefit, women refugees to the UK post WWII, a safe house for artists, a 24% female artist collection, mainstreaming a museum strategy, how few people actually visit some physical museums, why a digital museum is so compelling, global as the new local, deaccessioning, and being brave enough!

February 02, 2021 54. Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi
Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi is a South African-American painter and multi-media artist. Her work investigates power and its structures – political, social, architectural. Implicit in her examination of these structures is an interrogation of the invisible forces that create them, and an imagining of alternatives. She sees her subject choices as monuments to ideologies, referring to her architecture painting as “portraits” and her human portraits as “figures.”

Nkosi and Zuckerman discuss the practice of being a parent, making things, going “back” places, the narrative of the return home, the faces on money, the struggle for freedom, doing work that matters, who gets celebrated and why, remembering people aloud, gymnastics and exactness, different definitions of blackness, the tender space of art, the risk of creating art, behavior, movement, and allowing ourselves to be an evolving being!

January 19, 2021 52. Brad Cloepfil
Brad Cloepfil founded Allied Works in 1994 in Portland, Oregon. Since 2000, the practice has grown steadily through the completion of major museum projects, innovative educational facilities, residences and workplaces of diverse scale, purpose and character. Allied Works was established to engage artists, builders, and thinkers in a collective pursuit of new expression. Their ethic is boundless curiosity and uncommon commitment to creating beautiful, moving, and meaningful work.

Cloepfil and Zuckerman discuss architecture, the impact of geography on creativity, ritual practice, “the Robert Frost of architects,” the role of the room, finding an architecture you don’t yet know, that the building is never subject nor the answer, the truth and possibilities of beauty, making contemporary relevant spiritual space, the need for God, where ethical conversations can occur, the discipline of listening, the transcendent, hell yeses!

January 12, 2021 51. Adam Pendleton
Pulling from a wide range of mediums including collage, painting, writing, printmaking, video, and publishing, Adam Pendleton utilizes language as his primary tool, recontextualizing appropriated imagery to shed light on underrepresented historical narratives. He is particularly interested in social resistance and avant-garde artistic movements and has synthesized a variety of practices under the rubric of "Black Dada,” a term borrowed from the poet Amiri Baraka. This year Pendleton will present Who Is Queen, a major new project in the atrium of The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Pendleton and Zuckerman discuss preventing unnecessary distraction, the fact and shape of time, the urgency of art, being a curious being, chaos as a means of meaning making, historical mashups, the regression of social interaction, the responsibility of living, what do you do with your life, art in America, and what he feels good about!

December 22, 2020 48. Ralph Steadman
Ralph Steadman is a UK satirist, artist, cartoonist, illustrator, and writer whose work is synonymous with the counterculture of the 1970s. Renowned for his collaborations with iconic American writer Hunter S. Thompson, he formed an unlikely duo that created "Gonzo" journalism. This lifelong collaboration included the now-legendary Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, originally published in Rolling Stone magazine, which has since become a cult classic. The subject of numerous books and documentaries, at 84 he still turns his keen and critical eye to politicians and popular culture.

He and I discuss nude models, the British tradition of cartooning, his first meeting with Hunter S. Thompson, American Presidential politics, suicide, pre-planning memorials, the Gonzo fist, fax machines, Travis Scott, dirty water drawings, animals, passing over and God, Sigmund Freud, Leonardo da Vinci, Johnny Depp, learning to draw, and cremation. A bonus of this podcast is not only hearing him recite texts he has written, but also describing some of his iconic friends in their accents!
