NOTA BENE: This Week in the Art World

Benjamin Godsill & Nate Freeman

Star filled black icon

5.0

(1)

NOTA BENE is the podcast version of a boozy lunch at Sant Ambroeus in which adviser Benjamin Godsill and Vanity Fair art columnist Nate Freeman dish fresh art world gossip from Dimes Square to Mayfair, peel back the curtain on auctions, galleries and fairs—and, critically, tell you where to eat and drink in every museum-stuffed port of call. Plus there’s a special guest each week, and we’ll roast them good regardless of how much clout they carry on the circuit. It’s NOTA BENE. Don’t close the deal until you tune in.

A FORM OF MAGIC with Mills Morán from CDMX

NOTA BENE: This Week in the Art World

play

06/02/22 • 26 min

OH BABY! It's another fantastic episode of the ONLY ART PODCAST, brought to you exclusively by Will Shott Jewelry.

Mills Morán and Benjamin are in Mexico City to install the exhibition Mr. Godsill curated, A Form of Magic at Morán Morán. As they wait (and wait and wait) for the artworks to clear out of customs they dial up Nate back in New York to catch-up. The three amigos discuss Benjamin's show (amazing, obvi) as well as: Gallery Dogs, the low-key best dish at Contramar, Urs Fischer's EPIC exhibition at Jumex, the fabulous restaurant Elly's and so much more.

We then veer back to New York to discuss the White Columns benefit, the opening of new downtown sushi spot TIME and the cursed dim*s square hotel.

Edited and uploaded from 30,000 feet (in front of the wing, of course), the first few minutes are not audiophile magic but it clears up quickly (and you aren't listening to us for the sound quality anyway).
