Podcast Overview

GIVING BACK IS DEAD addresses the need to engage the next generation differently than the previous generation. Stover believes that arts institutions and initiatives will lose their funding if arts leaders do not recognize what motivates the next generation. The previous generation has structured arts funding based on participation in an elite and exclusionary social club related to the donor’s wealth. Media focus on the art market and its atmospheric sales prices reinforce that the art world and its initiatives are out of touch with society’s injustices. GIVING BACK IS DEAD offers a series of inspiring paths to engage NextGen’s to assure the arts continue to be funded and are relevant to our lives.

Season 4 Episode 3 with Alexandra Primor

<p>In this episode of Giving Back Is Dead, recorded at Palais de Tokyo as part of its Regeneration initiative, host Scott Stover sits down with Alexandra Pimor, Director of Nature Governance at Earth Law Center. Together, they explore the emerging movement for rights of nature and “nature-conscious governance”: building legal and corporate systems that recognize humans as part of nature, not separate from it. </p><p>Pimor traces her path from law and European governance to creating frameworks where “Nature on the Board” can actually shape corporate decisions, and shares concrete examples—from UK eco-beauty company Faith in Nature to Purpose Disruptors in the advertising world—where nature’s interests are written into governance and practice. </p><p>The conversation moves from philosophy to practice: how shifting from pessimism to responsibility, from extraction to relationship, can transform philanthropy, cultural institutions, and the way we fund the arts and the planet’s future.</p><p>Watch, subscribe, and join us in reimagining what it means to “give back” when giving to nature is no longer optional—but foundational.</p>

Season 4 Episode 1 with Christopher Coritsidis

<p>In this episode of Giving Back Is Dead, recorded during Art Basel Paris week and hosted at Palais de Tokyo, we sit down with Christopher Coritsidis, founder and CEO of Opus One Foundation, to explore how the arts can function as a true engine for social impact. From his beginnings as a classically trained violinist to his pivot into entrepreneurship and philanthropy, Coritsidis brings a rare, lived perspective to the conversation—one shaped by firsthand experience in both the creative and venture worlds. What emerges is a clear thesis: the arts are not just culturally valuable, but economically and socially catalytic when paired with intention, measurement, and long-term vision.</p><p>Rather than relying on traditional donation-based models, Opus One is building a new framework—venture philanthropy—where creative work generates intellectual property, revenue, and scalable impact. Through initiatives spanning education, disability advocacy, health and well-being, environmental sustainability, and conflict response, Coritsidis outlines how art can fund itself, empower communities, and multiply its reach without dependence on government or legacy funding structures. The episode offers a candid look at the future of philanthropy—one where impact is regenerative, artists are central, and giving back is no longer passive, but actively designed for the world we’re in now.</p>

Season 4 Episode 1 with Guillaume Désanges & Abby Pucker

<p>In a special episode of Giving Back Is Dead, recorded during Paris Art Week at <a href="https://palaisdetokyo.com/en/">Palais de Tokyo</a>, we bring together <a href="https://www.instagram.com/guillaumedesanges/?hl=en">Guillaume Désanges</a>, President of Palais de Tokyo, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/apucks/?hl=en">Abby Pucker</a>, Cultural Producer and Founder of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gertie.chicago/">Gertie</a>, for a conversation about the evolving future of cultural funding.</p><p>The discussion explores how institutions and cultural leaders are moving beyond traditional patronage models—challenging the notion that access to the art world requires immense wealth or exclusive connections. As Pucker explains, her work with Gertie centers on creating open, immersive cultural experiences—where people engage directly with artists, exhibitions, and each other through shared journeys, community-driven membership models, and collaborative events.</p><p>Désanges offers the perspective from within a state-backed institution navigating the balance between public and private funding. For him, the coexistence of both creates not fragility but stability—a dual foundation built on diversity, shared responsibility, and renewal.</p><p>Together, they point toward a new paradigm for cultural ecosystems: one that replaces exclusivity with inclusion, and patronage with participation.</p>
