#83: Benjamin Murphy

A new heliumTALK episode! For show number 83 I spoke with Benjamin Murphy, visual artist, writer, curator and lecturer and co-founder of the nomadic Delphian Gallery. After a pretty long break for all those many reasons I have been talking about in the introductions to the previous episodes, I decided to get back into the podcast game, there are simply too many people still that I am so curious about that I tweaked the format of heliumTALK a bit so it doesn’t take a whole day in postproduction etc. I won’t bore you with the details, but production wise these are a lot easier to make for me now, one big chunk I got rid of are the intros for example, I go right into the interview, etc…. But it’s still what to expect from a good heliumTALK-show. So. I do hope you continue to enjoy them. If you are new - there are over 80 episodes already, so have a listen if you find anything interesting in the back catalogue. New shows are already planned and scheduled, but I do them when I do them and they come out, when they come out, so just check back here or at heliumTALK.com.

Om Podcasten

heliumTALK begann im Jahre 2016 als TV Talk-Show in der Galerie, bevor Jörg Heikhaus aka Alex Diamond im Frühjahr 2018 den gleichnamigen Podcast herausbrachte und in seinem Atelier Interviews mit Protagonisten aus der Welt der Kunst führte. Seit Anfang 2022 gibt ein neues Konzept, eine erweiterte, feste Besetzung und veränderte Inhalte: der heliumTALK ist nun ein offenes Gespräch zwischen Jörg (54) und Melvin (24) Heikhaus, zwischen Künstler und Galerist, zwischen Vater und Sohn. Mal mit Gästen, mal ohne. Immer aktuell und mit spannenden Themen - aber natürlich geht es weiterhin um Kunst. Übrigens: Während die früheren Folgen oft auch auf englisch waren, ist die neue Version in deutscher Sprache. *** heliumTALK started as a live talk show for TV in our gallery in 2016, before Jörg Heikhaus aka Alex Diamond took this format into the world of audio podcasts two years later. These interviews with people from the art world were mostly recorded in his artist studio. In 2022, heliumTALK changed its format and is now an open conversation between Jörg and the new gallerist of heliumcowboy, Melvin Heikhaus. A conversation between artist & gallerist, between father and son. Topic is still the art world. From time to time there will be guests, and other features that we will add in the future. Oh and even though this introduction is in English and most of the early podcasts are too - the new version is now held in German, mostly.
