Description

Hosted by Amanda Love, the LoveArt podcast brings listeners into direct conversation with contemporary artists, extending the work of the independent art advisory, LoveArt, based in Sydney, New York and Athens.

The series draws from Love[f]Art, LoveArt’s ongoing program of intimate, in-conversation recordings with artists, originally conceived in 2020. Filmed in the most unlikely of settings—the guest powder room at the Love residence—the project strips things back to a one-to-one exchange, focusing on ideas, process and the conditions that shape contemporary practice.

This episode features Alex Seton's There’s No Place Like Home, an installation that brings together several works from the artist’s four previous exhibitions that collectively contemplate memory, forgetting and loss. In this intimate setting, Seton (re)presents works that tell his personal memories of growing up off-grid in the bush near the Wombeyan Caves.

Recorded in September 2022, at the time of the work’s installation, the conversation offers a direct insight into the thinking behind the piece, and the broader concerns that underpin his practice.

Seton is represented by Sullivan+Strumpf.
