In Spain, we meet Navid Nuur, an Iranian-born artist based in the Netherlands. Navid was invited to present Hocus Focus, his first solo exhibition at Matadero Madrid, an art center developed on the former site of the city’s main livestock market and slaughterhouse. The artist who loves to experiment gives us a tour of his exhibition and talks about the painting project he presented in Switzerland at Art Basel.
Special thanks to Gema Melgar, Matadero Madrid, for facilitating this podcast production.

In Austin, Texas, we go backstage with seminal video and performance artist Joan Jonas to talk about how context influences each presentation of The Shape, The Scent, The Feel of Things, a project commissioned by Dia Beacon in 2004. Joan considers the evolution of her transmedia process since the 1960s and the inspiration she gets from working with jazz improvisor Jason Moran. Joan's collaborator in The Shape, the Scent, the Feel of Things (2005-2006) and Reading Dante (2008), Jason will soon feature in his own episode. Jason and Joan will perform together this September in Kassel, Germany, during the 13th iteration of the city-wide art exhibition and events known as documenta.
