  • The White Pube: Discussing ‘Poor Artists’ & Why The Art World Needs To Change - with Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad

    The White Pube: Discussing ‘Poor Artists’ & Why The Art World Needs To Change - with Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad
    Dec 13 2024
    Episode 69 of ‘All About Art’: The White Pube: Discussing ‘Poor Artists’ & Why The Art World Needs To Change - with Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad In this episode, I sat down with Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad, the co-founders of The White Pube, a platform launched in 2015 where they share reviews, essays, social media posts and memes critiquing the elitism and inaccessibility of the art world. The name the duo chose, The White Pube, is a play on the White Cube, a globally successful mega contemporary art gallery. It is also a tongue-in-cheek reference to the display format in which contemporary works of art are generally shown. Pristine white walls, wood or concrete floors, high ceilings… space of veneration or quiet contemplation, sterile where nothing other than “the art experience” can happen. The provocative name has even deeper layers when considering the references to white supremacy and ageism within the arts, as well - so listen on to hear me speak to Gabrielle and Zarina more about that later in the episode. We chat about how they got started as an art critic duo, and how they have been working together and successfully collaborating for nearly a decade - having never had ONE fight (well, in this interview you will hear Zarina say that they did have a fight once… but it was about art). I also got the pleasure of speaking to Gabrielle and Zarina about their recently published debut book called ‘Poor Artists’, in which an aspiring artist has to navigate money and power, and is faced with the decision of whether she cares more about success or staying true to herself. I ask Zarina and Gabrielle to delve into their writing process as co-authors, and to tell me more about what the experience was like to conduct interviews and weave them into the narrative, as the book integrates anonymous interviews with real people in the art world into its story. We touch on how writing the book has impacted their view on the arts sector, what the future holds for the White Pube, and so much more. Thank you Gabrielle and Zarina, a.k.a.

    Looted? Missing? Authentic? Why Art Provenance Research Matters with Angelina Giovani
    Nov 27 2024

    Episode 68 of ‘All About Art’: Looted? Missing? Authentic? Why Art Provenance Research Matters with Angelina Giovani


    In this episode, I sat down with Angelina Giovani, art historian and provenance researcher based in London, and the co-founder of Flynn & Giovani Art Provenance Research with Dr. Tom Flynn. In 2023 she launched the Art Market Academy, a dedicated online environment offering online courses in provenance research and due diligence, now subtitled in over 15 languages.


    Listen on to hear me ask Angelina about what provenance research entails, along with whose responsibility it is to ensure due diligence is conducted and the research is done. We chat about emerging technologies and how this is changing the landscape of provenance research, along with the practicalities of the process of research, how collectors can mitigate and assess the risk of selling works or knowing when deeper research is needed, and more.


    Thank you Angelina for coming on the podcast!
