London! With Special Guest Jonas Wood AND FAMILY Oct 07, 2024

Show notes

Benjamin is back. In a special (and sadly Nate-free) episode we have occasion to sit down with Jonas Wood on the eve of his exhibition opening at Gagosian, London.

Jonas and Benjamin discuss his recent travels, his new paintings and being a dad who's an artist. We also do our best Huberman impression and discuss our workout and recovery routines on the road.

In a special, special twist we are then joined by Jonas' family - his wife the ceramicist Shio Kusaka and their awesome kids Momo and Kiki. Shio and the kids discuss what it's like to have themselves and their work depicted in Jonas' paintings and how much fun it is traveling as a family.

We also get into a work of theirs that will be auctioned off this week on FairWarning with all proceeds going to charity.

We are then thrilled to be joined by Los Angeles gallerist Sebastian Gladstone along with an artist from his roster, Tristan Unrau. Sebastian has forgone any New York fairs this season and taken a short term lease on a downtown space for a series of exhibitions, the first of which is an exceptional solo show by Tristian. We discuss Sebastian's evolution as a gallerist, this innovative program in New York and then Tristian's intricate and seductive painting project. AND WE EVEN BREAK SOME NEWS.
