Gina Soden is a fine art photographer with a fascination for derelict architecture. She travels around the world seeking decayed and abandoned buildings which become the subjects of her beautiful images.

Once loved ball rooms, halls, country houses which have been vacant for decades are her favourite subject matters. Her images show how nature has often grown into the empty spaces on one hand breathing new life into the structures and at the same time drawing attention to the past.

The structures she chooses are often highly decorated with frescoes, gilding and carving. The mind is always drawn to how these spaces would have been used in their hey day. Despite the love shown at the construction the buildings are now boarded up or sealed.

The images are printed as large format photographs pulling the viewer into the space. More recently the artist has begun applying the images to metal surfaces and for her exhibition Archeologies at Charlie Smith Gallery she is showing the work on vintage mirrors which add another dimension to the art work.

In this episode Gina talks about her process, getting locked into a property , working towards the Archeologies exhibition and selling through her website.

Ever wondered how to take part in the Venice Biennale ? This episode goes behind the scenes at the Venice Biennale, which is comprised of 3 layers. The National pavilions show work that represents each country that is taking part. The collateral events are exhibitions that have a more independent status, and often by groups or institutions, these can take place at the Giardini or the Arsenale, or they can be in the historic centre of Venice. Finally there is the fringe events, these are independent shows by artists or groups which run alongside the main event. Usually these projects do not use the official Bienniale badge or branding but they take place at the same time and across different sites.

We talk about the history of the biennial and its impact on the art market. There is a phrase we hear a lot in the art world " see in Venice, buy in Basel" and we discuss what this means, how showing at the Venice Biennale can raise an artists' profile and their market value.

Carrie Brummer talks about her current project which was inspired by a visit to the US National Archives.

The US National Archives revealed images of women in the 1940s who had taken jobs that were traditionally taken up by men, however with the men away at war, the women took up the jobs. Curiously the photographs provided no further information such as names of the sitters. It was the absence of this information that Carrie was drawn to, and her art work now celebrates these women. Her art uses a range of crafting skills which she says were also traditionally associated with women.

In this episode she talks about working towards an exhibition in Ottawa.
