Went off on a tangent searching Podesta + art.
Found this article of some,designer" who "reimagined" his weirdo art for display

Not a big deal, but looked at the designer and oddly, her client list includes a bunch of pizza parlors. How many pizza joints hire high-end designers?

Many of course are legit places. Some of the pizza joints are strange:

"BRAND ETHOS
&pizza® is an anti-establishment establishment built on the renown of its creative pies and craft beverages, localized shop design, and the strength, unity and vibe of its living-wage-paid, ampersand-tattooed Tribe.
We partner with small, like-minded brands who are doing big things. We support our communities.
TRIBE FIRST
We stand together as one tribe. "
For a pizza joint? Really? They tattoo (brand) their employees?

This i think is Podestas house:
"Art Collector's HomeWashington, DCResidentialA c.1928 Georgian home in Washington D.C. was given complete renovation treatment and expanded into a modernist, state-of-the-art home and gallery for the owner’s vast art collection. The house’s previous room layout, centered around a winding staircase, was not conducive to a fluid exchange between rooms and was therefore reimagined to open up the space, ameliorating it for social gatherings. The winding staircase was reconstructed in glass and steel, as was the back of the house. The result is a design that is timeless, inspiring, and completely in line with the owner’s needs. "
There is an animated photo/slideshow of Podestas house on this page I can't grab from my phone:

Anyway, bottom line is these weirdo cults travel in cliques and share nonobvious things like designers.
Look for architects/designers/photpgraphers who work with cult types and see who their other clients are.
