Latest The Week in Art; rather pleasing to end with Evie Hone and Mainie Jellett after beginning with Trump…

This pod features a discussion about the show at the Smithsonian American Art Museum mentioned in Trump’s latest executive order curtailing free speech. You can see why these cowards feel so challenged.

Scary times ahead.

Thank you! That’s lovely to hear.

this honestly goes a long way toward explaining why the coverage of the Biden administration was so egregiously terrible

These are always perfectly judged.

Thank you!

Typically excellent work from Dan

Morning inspiration:

‘Jeff Wall, The Thinker (1986)’

currently on show at White Cube, London @whitecube-official.bsky.social

I highly recommend seeing the show; a retrospective of Wall’s 30 year career.

Top artist of every year…

Definitely heading for Reform candidacy in 2029.

The latest A brush with… is a conversation with Jeff Wall. Among the other works we discuss is one of his “hallucinations”, The Flooded Grave, 1998-2000.

So great to talk to this great artist.

Time to start posting, then…

New series of A brush with… begins today with a stellar artist: Goshka Macuga. She speaks brilliantly about everything from the transformative effect of encountering Christo in an art mag to the subversive metaphors of Stanislaw Lem.
