"Art is the Best Way to Communicate" - PEARL LAM - Highlights
“I grew up in colonial Hong Kong, where we were not taught about Chinese culture. When I went back to China, I thought the art in the West was superior to the Chinese, not understanding the Chinese culture. I remember when I first went to China, I told people I'm a Hong Kongese. I'm not Chinese. It took me ten years to go back and tell people that I'm Chinese because then I started to be very proud of Chinese culture. The first exhibition I mounted, during the process, made me feel completely alive again. Every cell in my body became so exhilarated. I knew this is what I should be doing, and this is what I want. I was very lucky because I then realized my passion. Before that, I didn't know what I wanted to do. At that moment, I knew this is what I wanted to do in my life. I think art is about communication; it's about exchange. I believe it's very important that we have different voices that talk about different things.”My guest today is Pearl Lam, and if you follow the international art market, you know her name. She is a collector-turned-gallerist who has made it her life's mission to challenge our assumptions about what constitutes contemporary art, especially between Asia and the West. But her journey began in a very personal place: a fierce independence that saw her defying her family to pursue art and immersing herself in Shanghai in the early 90s, where she had to shed her own 'West is Best' colonial mindset. She became captivated by abstract art and artists whose work was embedded in ancient philosophies like Daoism and Buddhism—a tradition extending back thousands of years. Now, through Pearl Lam Galleries and her own podcast. where she expands her dialogue on creativity, the art market, and the world. She continues to champion her belief in art that transcends borders. We're going to talk about what it takes to have the instinct of a visionary in a constantly changing market, and why she believes the art of real conversation is so critical today.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast@pearltheworld@pearllamgalleries

The Art of Disruption with PEARL LAM - Gallerist, Curator, Podcast Host
“Today, the world is very divided, lots of fractures. It is the time for art and culture to come into play because art is about soft power. If we want to resolve misunderstandings, art is the best, best, best way to communicate. So use this.”My guest today is Pearl Lam, and if you follow the international art market, you know her name.

Twists, Truth & Tension - Creating Compelling TV with NIGEL MARCHANT & MEGAN GALLAGHER - Highlights
“We're at times where a lot of the arts are really suffering in multiple countries with funding and cost of living. Understandably, people come for the arts, but our job is at times to hold a mirror to society. We can learn a huge amount. It can really change everyone's perspective. So look, it could be escapism, and we all need that at times, but it also can have something that fundamentally can't be enacted just through journalism at times. I think when you dramatize something, it can reach the very core of an audience.”Today, we'll be talking about the intense emotional toll of modern life, and how the deepest secrets often hide behind the most polished facades. My guests have dedicated their careers to crafting psychological dramas. Nigel Marchan tis the Managing Director and an Executive Producer at Carnival Films, the powerhouse behind some of television's most beloved and intricate dramas, from Downton Abbey to the television adaptation of The Day of Jackal. Megan Gallagheris a writer who understands the delicate mechanics of suspense and the human heart. She created and wrote the critically acclaimed series Borderliner, and most recently, the BBC thriller Wolf.They’ve joined forces for the new limited series, All Her Fault (now streaming on Peacock). It’s an anxiety-inducing thriller adapted from Andrea Mara's novel and the show plunges us into the frantic world of a wealthy working mother, Marissa Irvine, after her five-year-old son disappears. Starring Sarah Snook in her first television role since Succession, the series starts with a rupture when Marissa’s son Milo is kidnapped and ripples into many lives, exploring momshaming, the guilt, blame, and sacrifice of motherhood. And what happens when domestic bliss turns to domestic misery.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast@carnivalfilms X: @carnival_films Facebook: Carnival Films

ALL HER FAULT starring SARAH SNOOK - Behind the Scenes w/ NIGEL MARCHANT & MEGAN GALLAGHER
“The people that we choose to love and the ones we choose to rely on and trust… Marissa and Jenny's relationship and that female friendship, that's what we watch happen in the series in real time. Whereas the marriages and the relationships that they're already in maybe aren't so perfect, the one we watch them choose is the one that's rewarding. It's so nice to listen to people's reactions to that relationship and how real that relationship feels. These two women, from a character perspective, have every reason to not get along or to hate each other or to yell at each other. That's the opposite of what each one of them does, and that just feels true and honest. I know a lot of women who I feel would act that way, be the best version of themselves in such an awful situation.”Today, we'll be talking about the intense emotional toll of modern life, and how the deepest secrets often hide behind the most polished facades.

Mind Games, Power & Obsession - Veteran Showrunner HOWARD GORDON & Writer DANIEL PEARLE on THE BEAST IN ME - Highlights
“How do you render something interior filmically? How do you communicate the details of the lost child, of the amount of time of the stuck creative process, and even the exterior, or the externalization of the house as a kind of hellish thing that's barely staying together—literally flooding with waste—and that you can't afford? So those are the details that we had to carefully figure out how to weave. But, you know, when you look at the first 10 minutes, it could be a horror movie. From that moment, a lot can happen. But what's important about it is that it sets the table for what does happen.” -Howard GordonToday, we explore the dark psychology of obsession, guilt, and the thin line between predator and victim. Our guests are two of television's most accomplished architects of high-stakes drama and moral ambiguity: Howard Gordon, the showrunner and executive producer whose work defined a generation of thrillers with 24 and the multi-award-winning Homeland; and Daniel Pearle, an executive producer and writer who brings a distinct, penetrating depth from his background as a celebrated playwright and his work on series like Accused and American Crime Story.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast
