Politicians on the centre-left and centre-right simply don't seem to understand they are in an existential battle for the future of British democracy.

“This is the museum event of the decade, possibly the century so far. Are we really to believe that a more ethical partner would not have jumped at the chance to be involved?” @benlukeart.bsky.social on the #BayeuxTapestry at the British Museum. www.thenerve.news/p/bayeux-tap...

We need to talk about the Bayeux Tapestry show and its billionaire sponsor. By Ben Luke. Photograph: a poster for the Bayeux Tapestry outside the British Museum with sponsor Igor Tulchinsky’s name at an equal scale to those of the British Museum and the French government.

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. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

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

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. & listen to interview with @benlukeart.bsky.social here: open.spotify.com/episode/4KY5...

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. Listen and subscribe: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

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. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...
