Intimacies: Self (with Olivia Laing, Agnès Varda, Luchita Hurtado, Hans Ulrich Obrist & Axel Kacoutié)
September 26, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 55.6 MBAs our journey through intimacy draws to a close, it’s time to look inward and reflect on how we can get closer to ourselves. We’re considering ideas of self-knowledge and self-love, alongside what it means to draw on your own life and experiences in a creative practice. What do artists who bring personal and intimate narratives into their work encounter? How can we open up to our vulnerability and decide when to safely share that with others? And could these acts bring us closer together ...
Intimacies: Surroundings (with Lina Ghotmeh, Black Power Naps & Jakob Kudsk Steensen)
September 19, 2023 06:00 - 48 minutes - 55.4 MBThis episode opens up to consider intimacy with the world around us. Today, many of us feel – and are – disconnected from place, and not everyone feels equally at home in the spaces we move through. Ranging from urban and built environments to social and digital worlds, this episode asks what we need to be able to feel comfortable and intimate with our surroundings. How are artists challenging and working with different forms of space and place? And what happens when we can reconnect with ...
Intimacies: Desire (with Brontez Purnell, Tiona Nekkia McClodden & Pixy Liao)
September 12, 2023 06:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MBWe now move from a space of fear into desire – asking how art can be a space to express, explore and experience the supposedly private sphere of sexuality. In our desires, what is the interplay between distance and closeness? How do attraction and obsession intersect with other aspects of our lives? What happens when intimate pleasures and partnerships inform art-making – and when that work is brought before a public? Featuring an original sound work by Pixy Liao, an interview with Tiona...
Intimacies: Fear (with Tomás Saraceno, P. Staff & Lamin Fofana)
September 05, 2023 06:00 - 51 minutes - 46.8 MBSometimes the things we fear live as intimately within us as the things we love. These fears are rarely distant from us: we are sometimes closely implicated in them, and fear is a visceral, personal experience. Fear and anxiety can be irrational, or rooted in realities that threaten us unevenly. When can we transform our phobia into an embrace? How do we find ways to live alongside the threats of the world? And how are artists working closely – and in nuanced ways – with the instinctive fe...
Intimacies: Family (with Hetain Patel, Angelo Madsen Minax & Helen Cammock)
August 29, 2023 06:00 - 50 minutes - 59.2 MBFollowing strangers, we turn to the people our lives are first entangled with: our families. Family is a contested and challenging space for some, while being a place where others find sanctuary, safety, and profound relationships. This episode considers different expectations and realities of love, care and identity within biological and chosen families, and asks how we intentionally nurture, negotiate and shift our family relationships. How and why do artists involve their family members...
Intimacies: Strangers (with Adrian Piper, Scottee & Cecilia Vicuña)
August 22, 2023 06:00 - 50 minutes - 46.1 MBWe start our journey into intimacy by considering our interactions with strangers. The unexpected crossing of paths between people who have no knowledge of each other can be emotionally impactful, whether these moments leave us unsettled, or uplifted by a sense of hope and connection. What forms of proximity arise between strangers in public spaces? How and why do artists make work which invites new encounters between themselves and audience members? What possibilities and risks emerge whe...
