Episode 19 is a virtual viewing of The Dumont at Albert Embankment in London with the brilliant Budapest based artist Andi Schmied. Andi has a background in both art and architecture and produces installations, videos, performances and printed works that explores the architectural framing of social space. In her own words, she uncovers “unexpected human behaviours and urban anomalies – places that, for one reason or another, do not follow conventional logic, yet remain part of our cityscape”. I was delighted to discover that Andi had similarly been posing for several years as a fake billionaire in order to view high end properties in New York, and so I took the opportunity of lockdown to meet with her for a Zoom viewing. Check out her new publication PRIVATE VIEWS that has been published as a result of her property viewing project!
