In this episode, we explore the medium of photography through the lens - pun intended - of Daidō Moriyama's life work. We visited his exhibition at the Photographer's Gallery and we had very different experiences!

Curators: Thyago Nogueira and Claire Grafik

We chat a lot about what it means to look at street photography and what it might feel to be in the photograph itself. What if it was you who were on an exhibition poster? We discuss minimalist and maximalist exhibitions, but, mostly, Moriyama's unfussed and iconoclastic relation with the medium. He is just cool.

In this third episode, we explore the work of Tania Kovats after having visited her exhibition "as above so below" at Parafin Gallery. We go back to her beginnings and appreciate how far she's come into her exploration of the elements, with a big emphasis on bodies of water.

This is the first time we visit a commercial gallery for the podcast and there is some discussion about the advantages of visiting this type of exhibition space.

There may be some reading as well, as the artist's work led to some new books ! We find out that Kovats' work takes us on a journey into the history of the earth and our own place in it, which means thinking and feeling geologically, politically, socially and even, perhaps, metaphysically...

In this episode, we explore the work and life of Philip Guston, after having visited his exhibition at Tate Modern. Talk about plot twists! Guston's life and exhibitions, even this last travelling one, caused tremendous controversy. But above all, it's his ability to question himself and follow his own ideas that really impressed us.
