Dr. Sabine Haag, Director of the KHM-Museumsverband
EPISODE 27 of ‘All About Art’: Interview with MUSEUM DIRECTOR DR. SABINE HAAG For the All About Art Anniversary episode (!!! A year strong !!!), I sat down with the phenomenal Dr. Sabine Haag, director of the KHM-Museumsverband. Sabine is an Austrian art historian and is the director of not only one of the most renowned museums worldwide, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, but also the associated institutions, as well, including the Vienna Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theater Museum. A woman who has set an example in the arts, Sabine has been leading the Museumsverband since 2009, so over a decade. In this episode, I ask her all about her career path, starting from her education as an art historian and spanning to present day. I ask her about her role as director, and what that really entails. She gives advice to those seeking to follow in her footsteps, tells us what qualities she looks for in employees, and opens up about what it has been like leading a museum in a pandemic. Thank you Sabine for taking the time to sit down and chat with me, as well as Natacha Graf and the rest of the team at the Generaldirektion at the Kunsthistorisches Museum for assisting in the facilitation of this marvelous episode, which was not only an absolute joy for me to record but will hopefully be enjoyable and educational to listen to.

Artist Interview with Aline Alagem (in collaboration with ARTPOWHER Contemporary)
EPISODE 25 of 'All About Art': Artist Interview with Aline Alagem (in collaboration with ARTPOWHER Contemporary) In this episode, I chat with artist Aline Alagem about her work and professional experiences. We chat about her paintings that are loaded with references to the female body, sensuality, sexuality, gender, and more. We also talk about upcoming projects and the lessons she’s learned in past ones. In Aline’s works, feminine sensuality is both a metaphor and a realization of manifesting one’s self. The compositions and collage-like altered scenes in her figurative paintings hint at hidden layers that flow beneath the surface. She states that moments of secret longing and pleasure are “planted” in frosty arctic landscapes, asking about the possibility and impossibility of reaching the edge of desire- becoming it, or being lost in it. What I love about her works is that they challenge the historical position of women as passive subjects, either of the male gaze or male longing. She says that female bodies no longer exist as vessels for others’ desires, but they become feeling, longing heroines creating their own story. Have a look at her works on her website: https://alinealagem.com/ and her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alinealagem/ This episode is in collaboration with ARTPOWHER Contemporary, a collaborative art project initiative that places focus on female-identifying and non-binary creatives in the arts. The CEO, Anna Maurrasse, founded ARTPOWHER with the aim of raising awareness about gender stereotypes and gender inequality while inspiring change through creativity and collaborations.

Emilia is committed to giving back to the innovation ecosystem by mentoring founders at UCL, Startup Leadership Programme, and Eligent Accelerator (something she mentions later in the episode!). Emilia contributes a holistic business perspective as the COO of Artscapy, while having a very clear and tangible vision for how to democratize fine art collecting, by being an experienced collector herself. Stay tuned to hear me chat to Emilia about the company and its mission, what the gaps were within the arts in terms of collecting and technology that needed to be filled, and what is needed if you want to scale a company within the arts.

The Art of Framing with Gregory Baker
EPISODE 21 of 'All About Art': The Art of Framing with Gregory Baker This episode focuses on a career in the arts that is very hands-on and is intrinsic to the transportation and display of works of art, namely FRAMING with London framer Gregory Baker. We chat about his business as an art framer and how he learned the craft. We also chat about materials he uses, such as various types of glass and how they affect a work of art, as well as his experience as an art technician at Sotheby's auction house which informs his practice today. Greg graduated from Central Saint Martins with a degree in Fine Art, and went on to work for Steward Heslop Frames and John Davies Frames in the years following his degree. He then proceeded to work for Sotheby's auction house and Alon Zakim Fine Art while starting his own business. He collaborated with Sotheby's and has framed works by the likes of Cy Twombly, Lucien Freud, David Hockney, Georg Baselitz, and Jenny Saville. He is currently working with artist and art dealer David Breuer-Weil, whose sculptures you probably know from St Pancras New Church at Euston, London, all the while maintaining his framing studio and furthering his craft. If you want to get in touch, you can email him at gregorybakerframes@gmail.com P.S. Listen past the outro to hear Greg give me my Christmas gift, which was very much in line with the episode! Such fun, thank you Greg. ABOUT THE HOST: I am an Austrian-American art historian, curator, and writer.

MTArt: Being an Artist, with Walter & Zoniel
EPISODE 20 of 'All About Art': MTArt: Being an Artist, with artist duo Walter & Zoniel In this episode, I sat down with Walter and Zoniel, an artist duo represented by MTArt Agency. We talked about their art, which involves a multidisciplinary approach and often results in interactive and socially engaging installations. A central theme in their work is the sublime, but also the human condition through questioning our relationship with our surroundings. They work with different mediums by using nature or other tools such as handmade cameras or innovative printing techniques, which is also something we talk a bit more about later in this episode. Public art and accessibility are important themes for the duo, as they believe art is for everybody, so they enjoy creating pieces for the public domain. This episode is part of a special partnership with MTArt Agency, a certified B Corp® award-winning talent agency for the most exciting up and coming visual artists worldwide, and a creative agency that delivers exciting art-driven projects for brands, public bodies, and cultural organizations.

Artist Interview with Claudia Chanhoi a.k.a Brain x Eyes (in collaboration with ARTPOWHER Contemporary)
EPISODE 11 of ‘All About Art’: Artist Interview with Claudia Chanhoi a.k.a. Brain x Eyes (in collaboration with ARTPOWHER Contemporary) In this episode I sat down to interview illustrator and artist Claudia Chanhoi. I asked her about her artistic practice, how she balances her professional life with her art career, her experiences in the arts as a woman, and more. Feel free to get in touch with her on her instagram or check out her website, linked here. This episode is in collaboration with ARTPOWHER Contemporary, an art project initiative that places focus on female-identifying and non-binary creatives in the arts. The CEO, Anna Maurrasse-Tomaiuolo, founded ARTPOWHER with the aim of raising awareness about gender stereotypes and gender inequality while inspiring change through creativity and collaborations. You can find out more through the website or over Instagram. For International Women’s Day in March 2021, I conducted a written interview with Claudia about her works in the online exhibition “Yin My Way Out”, presented by ARTPOWHER Contemporary which launched on Artsy on May 8th and will be coming to an end on June 10th. Within the scope of the exhibition, I wrote an essay on the art of illustration which covers the history of illustration, how the arts sector views illustration, how the emergence of the digital has had an effect on this, and why there is some friction when it comes to using the labels of “illustrator” and “artist”. You can read my essay and the interview here: https://artpowher.com/editorial/ ABOUT ME: I am an Austrian-American art historian, curator, and writer.

The Art World on Clubhouse
EPISODE 9 of 'All About Art': The Art World on Clubhouse Clubhouse is a social media app (with invite and for iOS only) that hosts rooms for live, non-recorded discussions between people on a variety of topics. You can be a speaker and/or a listener. The art world seems to have found its place on the app, with talks about galleries, art markets, museums, art collecting and more. In this episode, I talk about how the art world presents itself on the app and what the pros and cons are from my perspective. I also offer a more critical analysis of women's voices and gender dynamics in groups while referring to this article: When Women Don't Speak, BYU Magazine ABOUT ME: I am an Austrian-American art historian, curator, and writer.
