A Chilling Exhibition About the Nuclear Threat

Jan 6, 2025 | aperture.org | Aaron Peck

After the fall of the Iron Curtain, the threat of nuclear war seemed abstract—even anachronistic. Recent geopolitical tensions, however, have reminded us that its reality remains contemporary. The Atomic Age, an exhibition at the Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris, feels timed to explore the recrudescence of those anxieties. It shows how artists have responded to modern physics as well as the possibilities of extinction-level destruction.
Wild Thing: A Life of Paul Gaugin by Sue Prideaux

Nov 27, 2024 | the-tls.co.uk | Elizabeth Lowry |Lauren Elkin |Aaron Peck

Syphilitic love rat of the South Seas. Vincent van Gogh’s nemesis. The amoral genius who ditched his wife and family to flit off to French Polynesia. Paul Gauguin is the bad boy of modernist painting. His image – which he wasn’t averse to cultivating – as the savage prince of European art’s fin de siècle counterculture was already taking shape in his lifetime, and has informed his legend ever since.
The contradictory and global nature of surrealism

Nov 20, 2024 | the-tls.co.uk | Aaron Peck |Lauren Elkin |Rod Mengham

It is hard not to think of André Breton’s writing desk when viewing the ambitious centenary exhibition on surrealism at the Centre Pompidou. In the permanent collection, on the floor directly below, the contents of its founder’s office are installed behind glass. A little like Freud’s consulting room, the French poet’s office is cluttered with fetishes and sculptures, and hung with paintings, both by his artistic peers and from Indigenous societies.
Manet edited (Diana Seave Greenwald, editor)

Nov 6, 2024 | the-tls.co.uk | Kathryn Hughes |Lauren Elkin |Aaron Peck

For years Isabella Stewart Gardner had been searching for a suitable Manet to hang in her eponymous Boston museum. Finally, in 1910, Bernard Berenson, acting as her adviser and scout, wrote excitedly that he had found just the thing. The picture in question was “colossal” and “vigorous”. Gardner snapped it up, and from that moment “Eugénie-Désirée Fournier Manet” (c.1866) became one of the first things visitors encountered on stepping into the museum’s Blue Room.
Seated Woman by Guillaume Apollinaire

Oct 23, 2024 | the-tls.co.uk | Aaron Peck |Martin Beagles |Terri Apter |adventureBy Aaron Peck

Pansexual orgies, extremely long discourses on Mormonism, cruel and perverse Russian counts, odes to the diversity and chaos of Paris, portraits of famous painters – Seated Woman: A chronicle of France and America, here translated by Timothy Mathews, was Guillaume Apollinaire’s attempt to take stock of the destruction caused by the Great War and to imagine what kind of world might be possible in its wake.
Is the Trucking Industry Really on the Road to Recovery?

Aug 15, 2024 | supplychainbrain.com | Aaron Peck

Are we finally seeing the end of the longest freight recession in recent decades? It’s the question on everyone’s mind — and has been for over a year. The trucking industry is still grappling with the long-lasting effects of rebalancing supply and demand after the wild surges in COVID-19-era consumer spending. Declines in freight volumes, inventory gluts and excess carrier capacity have strained the industry even as the rest of the world normalized.
Stephen Shore’s American Beauty

Aug 1, 2024 | aperture.org | Aaron Peck

Stephen Shore makes remarkable pictures of seemingly unremarkable things: a freeway seen from above, a Texaco gas station, runners on a paved road. His work is consistently a pleasure to look at, especially because it can subvert the conventions of what a photographic composition is, or use a vernacular form uncommon in the art world.
Transforming Retail and Empowering Drivers: The Significance of Automating Last-Mile Deliveries

Jul 28, 2023 | retailistmag.com | Aaron Peck

The shift towards e-commerce and the promise of immediate delivery continues to transform retail. The automation of last-mile deliveries not only streamlines operations for retailers but also improves the working conditions of truck drivers. But what exactly is last-mile delivery and how does it impact retailers? How can it empower drivers?
How Technology Is Combating the Trucker Shortage

Jul 19, 2023 | supplychainbrain.com | Aaron Peck

Millions of Americans have grown accustomed to next-day and same-day delivery of their goods. But that level of service might not be sustainable for much longer. In fact, unless action is taken soon, the entire delivery ecosystem of the U.S. could be in trouble. Supply chains aren’t fully recovered from stresses caused by the pandemic, and the simultaneous shift by consumers to e-commerce shopping. But there's another factor that’s equally crucial: the ongoing trucker shortage.
