Imagine the thrill of witnessing your art travel across oceans for a debut in Europe. Join me, Nathan Terborg, as I recount the exhilarating journey of my solo exhibition at Gallery Benjamin Eck in Munich and the captivating artist talk with curator Domenico DiCirico. This episode promises an insider's look into the logistics of moving over 1,300 pounds of art, the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi that fuels my worldview, and the concept of Weltanschauung that shapes my artistic vision. With Domenico's engaging questions, we traverse the landscape of impermanence and decay, finding beauty in the overlooked and forgotten materials I often incorporate into my works.

Listeners will gain insight into my creative processes as I share how artists like Kiefer, Burri, and Bradford have profoundly influenced my work with discarded materials. This isn't just about art; it's a narrative of transformation and resilience. From a personal journey from addiction to recovery, we explore parallels between personal growth and artistic creation. This conversation is a heartfelt appreciation of the power of creativity to renew perspectives and give new life to forgotten materials, turning them into compelling stories of renewal. A special thanks goes to Benjamin Eck for this incredible opportunity and to everyone who supported and attended the exhibition.

What if the mind could fish for ideas just as easily as one casts a line into the sea? Join us on a voyage into the enigmatic world of the late David Lynch as we explore his profound influence on creativity. From the haunting landscapes of "Twin Peaks" to the visceral imagery in "Eraserhead," Lynch's work has left an indelible mark on the arts. We share personal stories about encountering Lynch's films for the first time and how his distinct vision has shaped our own artistic paths. The episode also highlights Lynch's unique approach to capturing ideas, likening them to fish swimming in the vast ocean of our subconscious, just waiting to be caught with the right amount of patience and silence.

The art of meditation takes center stage in our conversation, revealing how it can be a powerful tool for achieving balance in your studio practice. By examining David Lynch's philosophy and the insights from his book "Catching the Big Fish," we delve into how meditation aids in nurturing the true self. This introspective journey includes reflections on the wisdom of philosophers like Donald Winnicott, historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln and musical poets like Nick Cave, with anecdotes that illustrate how meditation serves as both a shield and a weapon against life's inevitable challenges. The discussion underscores the importance of clarity and focus in the pursuit of artistic expression.

In the quest for creative freedom, we navigate the essentialism and the balance between light and darkness in the artistic journey. We uncover the liberating potential of saying no to distractions, embracing the mystery of the unknown, and documenting fleeting thoughts to ensure they aren't lost to time. Practical tips come to life, offering listeners ways to capture inspiration through journaling and other methods. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, this episode invites you to rethink the boundaries of your creative process and rediscover the joy of genuine artistic freedom. We will mis you David Lynch.
