This episode is a triptych experiment wherein I visit Madeleine Andersson three times in Helsinki Cable Factory, during her three month artist residency in HIAP. We have an ongoing conversation about her artistic research on - among other things - speculative theory, radical stupidity, petrosexuality and toilet-science, and her first stay in Finland. She talks us through her ideas, challenges and decisions along the way, and as I follow the progress of her work, we simultaneously form a new friendship off record. We talk about different work methods and -motivations, how this form of self-employment affects your personal life and mental state, and we get to follow the expansion of Madeleine's mind map on the wall in her studio as her projects evolve. This is a fragmented, intimate insight into the (slightly chaotic) process of developing an artistic project, from pitch to final shape, and a discussion of the academic aspects of art, and how it can overlap with science and philosophy. We branch out and touch on many different topics, and reflect on some of the premises and opportunities that go along with an artist career, such as the concept of artist residencies. And we laugh, quite a lot!
