About the show
ON THE COUCH invites you into the inspiring worlds of today’s cultural leaders. Join host Alexandra Fairweather as she sits down with guests on one of artist John Chamberlain’s iconic foam couches to discuss the big ideas and unseen details that shape creative life. For decades, Chamberlain carved his sculptural foam couches for friends and art world luminaries like Donald Judd and Andy Warhol, creating gathering spots, conversation pieces, and symbols of connection within a vibrant creative community. Today, that legacy lives on through ON THE COUCH as visionaries sit down for intimate conversations that will make you rethink how culture is created, consumed, and reinvented. Hosted on Acast.
