John Berger / Ways of Seeing (1972)
Our interpretation of images is shaped by culture, history, and social position—not by any “universal” standard. Don’t accept traditional "greatness" in art uncritically; instead, question who gets to define what is valuable.

Wax Casting with Isadora Vaughan by ACCA Education
ACCA Art Kitchen #1: Wax Casting with Isadora Vaughan is the first in our new series of artist-led video workshops that aim to give educators and students insights into a particular technique and the thinking process of each artist featured. In this workshop, artist Isadora Vaughan demonstrates an economical and highly adaptable process for creating sculptural forms through wax casting. Vaughan talks students through the process, with key vocabulary highlighted throughout. Students have the opportunity to hear directly from the artist and discover how the wax casting process aligns with core concepts that guide her creative practice. Vaughan’s process highlighted in this workshop has also informed her contribution to ACCA’s forthcoming exhibition 'Overlapping Magisteria: The 2020 Macfarlane Commissions'.

Inside Thom Browne's Haute Couture Design Studio
In this episode of "The Runway Re-See," host Jose Criales-Unzueta delves deep into the world of haute couture, spotlighting stunning looks from the upcoming show by Thom Browne. Inside the atelier, Jose meets with Thom where he is shown all the pieces that will hit the runway for the upcoming Thom Browne couture show in Paris. “Everything that you see…starts with a muslin,” says Thom as he explains how these garments make it from the page to real-life. One dress, an “unfinished” piece that harkens back to Grecian Olympians, took close to 11,000 hours to complete.

SPEECHLESS / დადუმებულები
The 2008 Georgian War resulted in the deaths of several hundred people and expulsion of tens of thousands from South Ossetia.

Salomé Jashi answers this question in a way that leaves few apathetic, though the horrors of war are never visible on the screen. Her short film makes the audience witness a tragedy it never sees. watch the film here Produced by Sakdoc Film and Artefact production Directed by Salomé Jashi Filmed by Tato Kotetishvili Sound Nika Paniashvili Speechless is part of the documentary film series ’10 Minutes of Democracy’

What I learned by befriending Iranians on Facebook
Iran looks a certain way to Westerners. But a look into the day to day lives of normal Iranians can change that perception. Thank you Vox for producing this.

Jeppe Hein, Today I feel like …
Jeppe Hein’s workshop Today I feel like ... involves children taking part in a series of simple breathing exercises, after which they will be asked to paint how they feel. By encouraging participants to pause and reflect on their emotions, Today I feel like... invites all of us––children and adults alike––to share our feelings more openly, ultimately leading to better mental health outcomes as well as a stronger sense of community.

The Films of Andy Warhol | Live from the Whitney
To celebrate the publication of The Films of Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné, 1963–1965, Volume 2, this program illuminates Andy Warhol’s practice as a filmmaker, exploring the relationship between his films and his work in other media, and the importance of his films to twentieth-century art history. John G. Hanhardt, general editor of The Films of Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné, 1963–1965, and former Curator and Head of Film and Video at the Whitney, will be joined by film scholar Bruce Jenkins and filmmaker Tom Kalin, contributors to the catalogue raisonné, to speak about the history of Warhol’s engagement with cinema and to share insights into why Warhol's films have been influential for generations of artists while also remaining largely unknown until now.

AI Art: How artists are using and confronting machine learning
For the latest episode of our How to See series, we spoke with three artists—Kate Crawford, Trevor Paglen, and Refik Anadol—who engage with the ways that AI and machine learning algorithms are demanding new approaches to artmaking. “I think we are at a crucial inflection point right now,” says Kate Crawford, professor, artist, and author of "Atlas of AI." “I've been calling it the generative turn. It's a moment where what we previously understood as how everything from illustration to film directing to publishing works is all about to change very rapidly.” Trevor Paglen has been mining data sets that are used to train the machine learning systems that surveil our daily lives. He investigates the dangerous oversimplification inherent to these processes and the ethics of the intentions behind them. “Artists, what we bring to the party is thousands…of years of thinking about what the hell an image is,” he says. “The kind of engineering computer science tradition does not have that. This is a place where artists are bringing voices to the conversation that I think are quite urgent.” It’s in that spirit that Refik Anadol sees AI as a tool available to artists. His interest is in machine learning algorithms that aren’t strictly monitored by humans. For Unsupervised, he asked how a machine, if it had only MoMA’s collection data for knowledge, would parse the history of modern art on its own. And, as an autodidact, what kind of art would it create? These three prescient thinkers are joined by curators Paola Antonelli and Michelle Kuo, who give historical context to the existential questions at play in this emerging landscape and share insights into where art might bring AI next.
