For this compelling episode, Ceri is joined by artist Jeremy Hutchison, whose subversive, multi-disciplinary practice spans performance, sculpture, video and text. They cover essential takeaways for artists today: how to subvert the aesthetics of capitalist spectacle without shame, how humour disruption and wrong-headed commercialism can be radical tools for change; and why artists must stop waiting for permission and instead beg forgiveness, push edges and find their co-conspirators. 

The Artist Mastermind Circle: Ready to stop second-guessing and start building momentum in your art career? Applications are now open for the next Artist Mastermind Circle—a six-month coaching programme for mid-career artists who are serious about growing their confidence, income, and opportunities.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Don´t ask for permission, push the boundaries and embrace risk. Beg forgiveness afterwards.
• Nonsense and humour are powerful - they make people pause and question.
• Leverage the systems you are critiquing to reach more people.
• Working with others, movements and communities fuels your creativity and increases reach.
• Notice small detail they can be catalysts for impactful art.
• If you want a sustainable practice, regularly take time to recharge. You need good mental and physical health.

BEST MOMENTS

“You don't need 700 people. You only need about 7 or 10 champions.”

“Sometimes in the midst of a political or cultural crisis, the risks that artists have to take set them apart from the tribe.”

“I often begin with a tiny thing that pops out of the great sea of life, and it will somehow express the full weirdness of the greater thing.”
