Cold Take Ep. 4: Art Crime, War Photography and A.I. Ansel Adams

from Urgent Matter: Cold Take · host Urgent Matter

Adam Schrader and Colton Crews return for another loose, mildly prepared episode of Cold Take, the Urgent Matter podcast about art-world news, lawsuits, crime, culture and whatever else.This week, Adam talks through Urgent Matter’s recent FOIA work, an NPR interview tied to his reporting on a censored UNT show, Giles Duley’s thoughts on war photography, and an artist in Gaza making work amid devastation. Then the episode turns toward the stranger corners of the art world: the Brent Sikkema murder case, A.I. colorization of an Ansel Adams photograph, and the Robert Indiana dispute involving a so-called ghost-signature machine.Read Urgent Matter: https://www.urgentmatter.pressFollow Urgent Matter:Instagram: @urgent.matterX: @TheUrgentMatterColton Crews:American SycamoreBurning Slow
