Francesco Bonami and Costantino della Gherardesca Launch New Art Podcast 'Artefatti'
Italian television personality and collector Costantino della Gherardesca teams up with critic and curator Francesco Bonami for 'Artefatti', a new podcast series exploring the quirks of contemporary art and its system. Produced by della Gherardesca's company Kidney Bingos, the ten-episode first season launches weekly on Thursdays starting February 18, 2021, with the debut episode focusing on outsider art. Available free on iTunes, Spreaker, and other major platforms, the podcast aims to spotlight artists and stories overlooked by Italian media, which the duo criticizes as superficial and fixated on a handful of established names. Each 30-minute episode will cover galleries, professionals, artists, works, and anecdotes that have left a mark on art history but often gone unheard. The announcement was made via Artribune, which also promotes its newsletters and WhatsApp channel.
