The Artfully Podcast

Summer isn’t over yet! There’s still a wealth of summer blockbuster exhibitions to feast your eyes on: Keith Haring at Tate Liverpool, Tal R at the new Hastings Contemporary, and Faith Ringgold at the Serpentine - which brings us to the controversy around the Serpentine Pavilion this year, including art's recurring problem of unpaid interns.

And over in Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio have been making ceramics together late into the night at Pitt’s studio. And we feel unsettled.

But meanwhile our August artist focus has us chilled out and happy once again. Thank you Richard Long for introducing us to Land Art and your serene, poetic works. Take a listen to how we try and describe Land Art and Walk Art, be patient with us.

Don’t go yet summer, we love looking around galleries all sweaty and flustered…

What else to do on the hottest day of the year so far but record a podcast! With a bumper crop of exhibitions, galleries, competitions and fairs to tackle, settle into our second Artfully podcast: Van Gogh in Britain, FOOD at the V & A, Beatrix Potter, Masterpiece, and a trio of women artists at Victoria Miro born out of the meteoric rise of social media profile @thegreatwomenartists. And on that note we discuss the high price artists pay when social media censors nudity in artworks. Finally, this episode's artist focus is on the grande dame of the YBA: Tracey Emin. We discuss why she continues to challenge audiences, Liz shares her own Emin story, and Jessie manages to compare her to Maggie Thatcher. You'll have to listen to find out why....

An introduction to your Artfully Hosts: artist Elizabeth Power and writer/comms professional Jessie Hillcox. From the depths of the Gallery world emerged a friendship of two podcasters, and a desire to dissect artists we love (or don't so much) and nosh over some art world gossip.
