When Nate Freeman described Benjamin Godsill shopping remotely at Frieze LA via artwork preview PDFs and facetiming with an on-the-ground assistant as "Peak drone strike Obama," I really felt that the Nota Bene boys' podcast was a true record of the art world at this moment in history.

(video in French only, sorry guys :S)

[À quoi ressemble la Préhistoire au Japon ?], super interesting interview of archeologist Linda Gilaizeau by Nota Bene about Prehistoric and ancient Japan periods.

She first details the actual history of archeology in Japan, then (31:45) surveys keys points of the Jomon, Yayoi and Kofun cultures, before (1:15:34) answering questions from the chat.

Whole talk was immensely useful as, as Linda stresses it herself, studies available mainstrean are sometimes still dated compared to what has been/is actually discovered nowadays! It's so neat to hear her talk about up to date research ^^

Linda Gilaizeau has a popularization channel (her twitter), I'll be sure to check her talks :D

Nota bene:

I just wanted everyone to know that due to medical reasons, I will have to take a break for a while... I'm hoping it's not as bad as two years ago, but I won't lie that I'm not anxious about the whole thing or possible tests.

Anyway, if you could just send positive thoughts/vibes my way, it would be most appreciated.

Take care ♡
