How important is the 'social license' provided by arts events to fossil fuel companies? How significant is the money provided to art festivals by those companies? A recent study examines the current involvement of coal, gas, and oil corporations in arts sponsorship in Australia. Daniel speaks with the report's co-author Dr Adam Karg, Anna Weekes from a group that spearheaded a campaign to end fossil fuel funding of the Darwin Festival, and filmmaker Alex Kelly.
My Thing is... nuclear test sites. Before the film Oppenheimer drew attention to Los Alamos laboratory in New Mexico, photographer Brett Leigh Dicks was there. The Australian-born artist has spent a lifetime photographing the deserted towns and landscapes of former nuclear testing grounds, including in Australia.
Spencer Tunick has been asking people to take their kit off for his mass nude photographs for decades, and Australians are among his most enthusiastic volunteers. But is it Art? Daniel chats to Spencer about the 'people power' behind his ambitious projects.
