- EP 48: Velvet BuzzSaw Film ReviewEpisode timestamp 12:19Today, the chart squad felt like trying new things, so we would like to inaugurate a new series of videos in our podcast where we review art related movies. Our inaugural choice? None other than Dan Gilroy’s Velvet Buzzsaw! Released in 2019, it is a satirical horror movie about the moral and physical consequences for everyone involved after a blue chip gallery in L.A. decides to sell the work of a deceased artist against his last will. Backstabbing, intrigue, love, deception… Anything can happen behind the scenes of the glamorous art world. However, how much of it is fiction and what is actually pretty realistic? We will let you know this and more in this week’s episode!For email enquiries: chart podcastgmail.comMake sure to follow us on our socials!INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/chartpodcast/Here you can see on which different platforms you can listen to our podcasts! https://pod.link/1517293067That's it for now!

- EP 47: The Apollo11 lunar mission photographsTime stamp to jump straight into the episode 6:26In 1969, NASA made history when they put the first man on the Moon. What? Pics or it didn’t happen? Well, luckily for you, there actually are quite a few pictures form the Apollo 11 mission to demonstrate that Neil Armstrong was, in fact, up there on that silvery sphere. And luckily for us, there is an expert photographer in the ranks of Chart who knows everything about the technicalities of how it was possible for the astronauts to take these pictures in an environment as hostile and destructive as the surface of the Moon. So join in today’s episode to hear it all about how the Apollo 11 crew took the pics that show that Stanley Kubrick did not film the Moon landing on the Nevada Desert!For email enquiries: chart podcastgmail.comMake sure to follow us on our socials!INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/chartpodcast/Here you can see on which different platforms you can listen to our podcasts! https://pod.link/1517293067That's it for now!

- EP 46: Spotlight on Stanislav SzukalskiIn today’s episode, the Chart squad (Javier specially) has the pleasure to introduce you to the artist you didn’t know you needed to know: Stanislaw Szukalski. Born in 1893, he enrolled in the Chicago Institute of Art a prodigy at only 13 years of age. After graduating he made a name for himself in Paris, where he participated in the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern and Decorative Arts. He seemed like your average chap until 1940, when he started a 40-year-long journey to develop a pseudo-scientific theory called Zermatism. Long story short, humanity originated in the post-deluge Easter Island and had to battle the descendants of the Yeti throughout history. Yeah, you read right. Surely you can’t wait to learn more about one of the craziest and most beautiful minds in the history of art, so tune into this week’s episode!For email enquiries: chart podcastgmail.comMake sure to follow us on our socials!INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/chartpodcast/Here you can see on which different platforms you can listen to our podcasts! https://pod.link/1517293067That's it for now!

- EP 45: introduction to the Pre-RaphaelitesWhen you think about Raphael’s work, you probably picture all the virtues of a Renaissance old master: beauty, elegance, dexterity… Well, that is definitely not what the seven members of the 1848 Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had to say about him. In fact, they would most likely call him a corrupting influence in the way academies taught art from that point on in history. The remedy they proposed? A short-lived, yet influential art movement that sought to return to the spirituality, abundant detail, intense colors and complex compositions of the Italian Quattrocento (15th century). Although the Brotherhood was dissolved by 1851, their principles lived on to inspire future generations of artists. Wanna learn more?

- EP 44: An introduction to Crypto ArtBack in the 14th century some Italian visionary invented canvas, and though it grew to become the main support medium for painting, it took a while for artists to wrap their heads around it, used as they were to wooden panels. Well, a very similar thing is happening nowadays with cryptoart! The late 2010s saw the emergence of a niche genre for purely digital art works that can be bought, sold and collected through blockchain networks. What is a blockchain network? Long story short: a transaction ledger for a cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) What does this mean and why is it a game changer for the art world? No more paperwork for sellers! You see a work you like, you press “buy”, and hallelujah it’s yours. If you wanna learn more about the wonders of cryptography, tune in for this week’s episode!For email enquiries: chart podcastgmail.comMake sure to follow us on our socials!INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/chartpodcast/Here you can see on which different platforms you can listen to our podcasts! https://pod.link/1517293067That's it for now!

- EP 43: Spotlight on Constantin BrancusiLast week we hit you with a Saint Valentine’s special that featured three works titled The Kiss, one of them by Romanian artist Constantin Brâncusi. Well, if that was your favorite one, then today is your lucky day, because this week’s episode is a spotlight on Brâncusi! Considered one of the pioneers of modernism, Brâncusi jumped on board the primitive esotericism train together with the greatest artists of the turn of the 20th century (Picasso, Gauguin, etc.) to produce sculptures defined by an emphasis on geometric lines and materials used. The Kiss is just one of the many incredible artworks he produced during his lifetime. Wanna learn more?

- EP 42: The KissThe act of kissing is a bond shared by the vast majority of cultures on this planet.

Given that Saint Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, we at Chart thought it would be a great idea to show you just a few examples. So buckle up and get ready for Mara to tell you all about The Kiss, The Kiss, and The Kiss from three of history’s greatest artists! Which is which? Which is better?

- EP 41: Spotlight on Sandro BotticelliAlthough Sandro Botticelli mustn’t’ve been cool enough to have a Ninja Turtle named after him, he certainly was one of the most influential old masters of the Italian Renaissance. Not only was he one of the painters that participated in decorating the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican; he was also a key influence behind Neo-Platonism in the arts during his lifetime, as well as one of the artists whose legacy contributed to the creation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in the late 19th century. His most famous work, The Birth of Venus (mid-1480s), is one of the most celebrated paintings of art history. Wanna learn more about it?

- EP 39: Cracking Open a cold One: Jeff KoonsEver since the dawn of humankind, art has been the noblest of pursuits; a constant struggle to capture the point of collision between the beauty of nature and the madness of human imagination. From prehistoric mammoths painted in cave walls to Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, art has always been the pursuit to face our fears and embody our emotions. But then, Jeff Koons happened… Not gonna lie, we at Chart are not his biggest fans, but the man does hold two record auction prices for a work by a living artist, so quite a lot of people think he is one of the most important figures in art history.

Introducing chART, where we chat about Art. Join Kristy, Javier, Finn and Mara every week for an uncomplicated and friendly conversation on art. We are four good friends who met while completing a Masters in Contemporary Art in London, we hope to offer an alternative and laidback approach to a seemingly impenetrable world.
Our topics will range from a casual conversation on the very fundamentals of art, focusing on particular artists and explaining different concepts. We aren’t limited to a particular time period, focusing both on art history and contemporary art. We hope to elaborate on arts impact on current events, culture and society - all while answering why art is important.
