Our first episode!

Whilst travelling back to our home city of Tromsø from Stockholm via the overnight train this August, we stopped off in Umeå, a city in the north of Sweden. Umeå is also the home city of artist Simon Gran Danielsson, an artist who we as "F.U.C(&K)" collaborated with in 2020. We caught up with Simon in his studio in the centre of Umeå whilst in town.

On Failure: What is failure? It is something that most of us automatically recoil from, but is it really so terrible? What does it mean to fail? Is failure bad and is success good? Why does failure make us feel bad? Can art ever fail?

Ruth and James from F.U.C.(&K) talk to a variety of artists about their art practice, failure, art and beyond. We try to answer some of these questions and then some, and generally have a nice time chatting to some lovely people.

Including sounds and music created from the failures, errors, glitches and outtakes from our conversation recordings.
