    Raku (encore)
    Dec 20 2024
    Raku bowls are humble. They are hand formed starting from a flat, circular base and coils built up around the sides. The process results in each piece being unique with evidence of the artist’s hand in the creative process. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

  • Jeff Koons | Pink Panther

    Jeff Koons | Pink Panther
    Dec 16 2024
    Jeff Koons, born in 1955, displayed an early interest in art. As a teenager, he called Salvador Dali's hotel and arranged to meet the artist. He was inspired by Dali and went on to study art in college. Koons supported himself with various jobs, including working at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, working the information desk at MoMA and as a commodities broker in New York. He gained recognition in the 1980s with his "The New" and "Equilibrium" series, and achieved international fame with his "Banality" series, which challenged notions of art and taste. Koons's work often explores themes of consumer culture, mass production, and the relationship between art and commerce. He is known for his meticulous approach, often employing skilled artisans to create his sculptures. Koons's "Pink Panther" (1988) exemplifies his exploration of popular culture and kitsch, challenging traditional notions of art and value.

    Pencils (encore)
    Dec 13 2024
    For today's mini episode, I thought it might be nice to change things up a little bit and cover the history of a medium rather than a specific artwork. Learn a little bit about pencils, what the numbers and letters mean, what is in the core of a pencil and how colored pencils differ from regular pencils. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

  • Julie Averbach | The Art of Trader Joe's

    Julie Averbach | The Art of Trader Joe's
    Dec 9 2024
    I have always been interested in "fine art" that makes the leap from museum walls to popular culture. I also think there is a lot of brilliant design happening in spaces and on things that we see so frequently we become blind to them. People rarely consider the work and the artistry behind the things we interact with the most. Julie Averbach is the author of the new book, The Art of Trader Joe's. She talks about her book and the experience of recognizing and appreciating the extraordinary art in ordinary places. She talked about some of her favorite parodies created by Trader Joe's artists including parodies of Georges Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jatte and Grant Wood's American Gothic. Please note that Who ARTed, the host, Kyle Wood, and this week's guest, Julie Averbach have no affiliation with Trader Joe's.

  • Home Alone

    Home Alone
    Nov 29 2024
    "Home Alone" is a beloved holiday classic that blends slapstick comedy with genuine emotion and suspense. Writer John Hughes drew inspiration from his own anxieties about accidentally leaving his child behind, crafting a story that explores universal themes of family, belonging, and the challenges of growing up. The film's success can be attributed to its meticulous casting, including Macaulay Culkin's iconic performance as Kevin McCallister, and its technical achievements in cinematography, editing, and music. Additionally, the film's enduring appeal stems from its ability to resonate with audiences of all ages, its heartwarming portrayal of holiday spirit, and its masterful storytelling. "Home Alone" remains a cherished tradition for many families, reminding us of the importance of family, resilience, and the magic of the holiday season. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
