ART FICTIONS is a monthly, contemporary art meets literature programme, created by artist Jillian Knipe. Each guest artist selects a piece of fiction, which we both explore, then use as a lens through which to view their artwork. We delve into the book‘s themes, context and characters, which opens up and steers a rich conversation about the artist‘s practice. The podcast bounces back and forth between art and text, all the while focussing on the ideas which govern both. It is a way of talking alongside art, rather than directly at it, getting close and personal with the origins of artistic ideas. Hosting is shared amongst a small group of artists, critics and curators, and artists are selected based on each host's area of specific interest.

Mixed Tapes - ROSALIND DAVIS (and John Berger)

Rosalind Davis - artist, curator, author, educator - and I weave in, out and around her paintings, installations and the mysterious diaries of Hungarian painter Janos Lavin from 'A Painter of Our Time' 1958 by John Berger. Rosalind details the decision to build her own art community and the many branches of her practice which have developed as a result. (Mixed Tapes is an introductory series recorded in lockdown with variations in audio quality.)

Mixed Tapes - Welcome to Art Fictions !

Tuesday May 26, 2020
Lockdown has given the unharmed among us, opportunities, doubts and challenges in equal measure. The first 'Art Fictions' series, using a mixed bag of equipment, is a buzzing start to a down-to-earth podcast exploring creative connections between fiction and fine art. Each artist shares insights and inspirations around fictional themes and teenage dreams, and this podcast would not be possible without their imagination and their work. Thanks to them. And thanks to you for listening. Episode 1 is a brief overview of how the podcast is constructed. Design and illustration are by Joanna Quinn at Beryl Studios. The music is written and performed by Griffin Knipe.
(Shout out to Matt at The Tennis Podcast and Steve at Animation Magazine for their recording tips!)
