A Life Curated

• A Life Curated with John Ridding

  A former journalist who rose to the top of the FT and became CEO, John transformed a loss making paper into a £500m revenue generating multi media global empire, this episode is one of my favourites. We kick off with John's first art memory, his love of music, and auditioning for Chrysalis Records, then dive into his journalism days, if he still gets the itch to write, how he transitioned from journalist to CEO, the three key decisions which transformed the FT and the key decisions that will keep it going. We discuss the AI Elephant in the virtual room, what makes a modern CEO, his collecting tastes, which include Bonsai trees, surfboards, and a deep love for music photography and much, much more!

• A Life Curated with Julie Curtiss

  With FRIEZE week coming up soon, and Surrealist female artists hitting big numbers at auction, I thought it would be the perfect time to release this episode with the amazing JULIE CURTISS. Since I saw first saw Julie's work at her solo at White Cube Mason's Yard in 2021, I was transfixed by her paintings which are filled with the uncanny, mundane, and grotesque shapes all painted in vivid colours. We discuss Julie's upbringing, her emotions when her paintings were flipped at auction achieving 10,000% return, what it's like being an artist working with White Cube, what are the emotional processes she goes through when making her work and some of my favourite paintings she's painted. Download, it's a masterpiece.Thank you @whitecube for setting this up.Credit line: © Julie Curtiss Photo © White Cube (Fabrice Gousset)Music by @robinkatz_Produced by Martin Lumsden Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

• A Life Curated with Sarah Morris

  I was THRILLED when the incredible artist SARAH MORRIS agreed to be my first artist on A Life Curated. Sarah delivers an engrossing insight into her work from the text based paintings from the mid 90s to her latest Spider Web series all currently being exhibited in a 180 work retrospective 'All Systems Fail' at Zentrum Paul Klee in Switzerland. In addition, Sarah discusses assisting Jeff Koons, her views on being a female artist today, how she's stayed at the top for so long (giving invaluable advice to young artists) meeting Jay Jopling, her earliest art memories, and of course, who she would commission to do her portrait. I'm so honoured to have kicked off Season Two with such a fantastic and established artist and brilliant guest. Enjoy, it's a MASTERPIECE.Special thanks to White Cube for making this happen.Photograph by Anna GaskellMusic by Robin KatzProduced by Martin Lumsden Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
