The Miami Affair + The Digital Detox

Jerry Gogosian's Art Smack

In a plot twist that shocked absolutely no one, the art world managed to keep spinning without its favorite commentator as Jerry Gogosian emerged from a 49-day digital sabbatical. Breaking her 18-year streak, Jerry (aka Hilde) skipped the glittering chaos of Art Basel Miami Beach and its satellite spectacles – proving that sometimes the best art move is no move at all.

Enter Magnus Resch, Jerry's trusted confidant and art market savant, who arrives bearing tales from the trenches. With his signature analytical prowess and insider knowledge, Magnus catches Jerry up on the wheeling, dealing, and occasional art-world reeling she missed while offline.

The conversation takes a delightfully cerebral turn as Jerry and Magnus explore the radical concept of "slow content consumption" (also known as reading books), dive into The Renaissance (the original art influencers), and discuss various consciousness-expanding practices – from yoga to Qi Gong – that don't involve staring at installation art through an iPhone screen.

The episode culminates in Magnus challenging Jerry to reflect on what truly draws her to the art world – now that she's had time to miss the beautiful circus she usually chronicles. A refreshingly honest conversation about art, authenticity, and the unexpected joys of disconnecting from the digital matrix.
