Video Nuggets

If you are a busy person, you may appreciate the "Video Nuggets". They are short (3 - 6 min) excerpts from the longer conversations. They offer a special opportunity to preview and sample many of our videos.

I just loved this show and Mr. Mishlove and have as long as I can remember, though I lost track of him (the show) for long long intervals. Imagine my delight to come across the New Thinking allowed youtube stuff...

Thinking Allowed - Jason Reza Jorjani on Breakaway Civilization


I thought many RI's would find this as welcome as I have...

Quite a rich seam, there... The one on 'Caravaggio: Murderous Thug & Artistic Genius' is informative, engaging and most entertaining (if my old art history lecturer was anything like this guy, I may well have stuck with it).

Andrew Graham Dixon makes a good series of arguments in his book A Life Sacred and Profane. He suggests a missing logic to these otherwise baffling accounts of impulsive and seemingly random violence, at which point they resolve into a fairly coherent sequence. For example, Caravaggio had to afford reliable models to work long hours but with few resources himself, certainly for his early works in Rome. Like other artists of his day Caravaggio may have solved this problem by being a pimp. In a violent time replete with stories of artists behaving far more ruthlessly, how could he run this stable without the violence necessary to defend it? And why was he singled out for particular calumny over a fatal duel? I approach the narratives of the earliest biographers, especially Baglione, with caution. Though he's often factually reliable, his rivalry with Caravaggio cut across deep seated artistic, political and religious rivalries.


Let Baglione's sensational portrait of Caravaggio be a guide:

Thanks for the banquet of tasty thoughts, I’m still trying to process Jason Reza Jorjani's thoughts on a Breakaway Civilization. Anyone else watch that or have any thoughts? It's the most thought invoking thing I’ve heard in a long time.

Is this it Grizzly? Will enjoy it later this evening in any case...

Yes, that's it. Not clear why you are asking that though, is it not evident or showing? I believe Jorjani is on the pulse of what's really going on. Or as close as we will ever get to the reality of things. Which is solely based on my own personal 'rigorous intuition'. And find it interesting no one on RI really wants to talk about it. Because this is as close as I’ve seen as to something near the pathos of what this whole platform has been on about for years and years and resonates in the same ethos as to what Jeff Wells has written and blogged about.

I found quite a lot of videos and wasn't sure if this particular one was the example you had in mind.

Since the link to Mark Lombardi: Death Defying Acts of Art and Conspiracy is defunct I thought this might be worth posting.
