In Episode 7 of Season 3, Addoley comes to the realization that free education is not as big of a solution to accessing an art education as she thought when so many other obstacles still abound, and Anna says part of the reason she makes art is to stave off boredom and wants to explore, surprise herself and make connections. In this episode, we speak with artist and director Uma Feed Tjelta, and artist and writer Agatha Wara. With our guests, we discuss which audiences museums cater to with their text, programming and exhibitions, how to stay creative with limited supplies, and problems with thinking about “marketability” when making art.
-At this specific moment in time, I think we (the museum) should be asking ourselves on whose premises are we attempting to be inclusive? -Are we just ticking off boxes and not really committing to inclusion beyond our need for getting a larger audience?
-How important is consistency in my work? Can I work in more than one style and still be marketable?
-How is the openness of the museum reflected in its exhibition texts, educational resources, etc, in the first meeting with the museum?
-How do you stay creative when you are not home and do not have creative supplies with you?
-I keep falling in love with other people. How can I live well with this situation, while still in a relationship?
