    A refreshingly candid conversation with Carrie Scott: curator, art consultant, broadcaster and founder of Seen, a media platform connecting the art world to the real world.

    This is our most unfiltered episode yet, where we tackle topics that might "get us in trouble": what consultants actually charge, why artists should have elevator pitches (despite what famous curators say), whether museums should pay artists a percentage of ticket sales, and how galleries claim they'll "find you" while rejecting all submissions.

    Carrie's career spans working with major galleries in Seattle and New York, collaborating with Nick Knight for a decade, launching groundbreaking exhibitions and now building a consultancy that refuses to be motivated purely by commission. She is opinionated, pragmatic and genuinely invested in making the art world less intimidating and more transparent.

    Key insights from this episode:

    • The real numbers: what art consultants charge

    • Why Carrie is building an art consultancy that is not centered around transaction

    • The controversial debate: should artists have an elevator pitch?

    • What galleries mean when they say "don't contact us" (and should you ignore it)?

    • Creative health as the third pillar of wellness alongside physical and mental health

    • Practical advice for ambitious artists and where to find helpful resources

    Carrie Scott is a curator, art historian, consultant and broadcaster based in London. She is the founder of Seen, a media platform and consultancy dedicated to connecting the art world to the real world.

    An extraordinary conversation with Nicolas de Oliveira and Nicola Oxley, the writer-curator duo who literally wrote the books on installation art and founded the Museum of Installation in London. For nearly 40 years, they've been chroniclers, producers, curators, and advocates for a medium that barely had a name when they first started.

    From publishing the definitive Installation Art books (1994, 2003) and commissioning hundreds of new works to building an extensive archive – Nicolas and Nicola have been at the coalface of installation art's evolution.

    In this wide-ranging discussion, they share what it was like convincing galleries that installation art even existed, why good documentation became their mission, and how they've sustained independent curatorial practice for four decades on "absolute shoestring budgets."

    Key insights from this episode:

    • How installation art emerged and why galleries insisted it was "just sculpture"

    • Coining the term "immersive" in their 2003 book (before it became ubiquitous)

    • Their philosophy of curating as co-production

    • The economics of independent spaces: how friendships sustain what funding cannot

    • Why they turned down a massive London space and turned to making books

    • The difference between installation art and the "entertainment industry" of immersive experiences

    • Advice for emerging artists: practice comes first, outcomes come later


    Nicolas de Oliveira and Nicola Oxley are based in London and run SE8 Gallery in Deptford. Their books Installation Art (1994) and Installation Art in the New Millennium (2003) remain foundational texts in the field.

    They publish artist books under their imprint Mulberry Tree Press and continue to curate exhibitions internationally while maintaining one of the most extensive archives of installation art documentation in the world.

  • 30,000 Flowers and Lives Changed – Zadok Ben-David on Installation Art at Scale

    Try Descript: https://get.descript.com/s8kjemvu79fz

    An in-depth conversation with award-winning sculptor and installation artist Zadok Ben-David, whose practice spans delicate miniature work to large-scale public installations. From his early beginnings in Yemen and Israel to representing his country at the Venice Biennale, Zadok shares the philosophical and practical journey behind his internationally acclaimed work. Discover how he transforms metal into poetic metaphors exploring human nature, evolution, and our relationship with the natural world (and how one installation changed a stranger's life forever).

    Key insights from this episode:

    • The path from abstract expressionism at St Martin's School of Art to creating massive figurative installations

    • How 30,000 hand-painted flowers became one of the world's most travelled installations and the team of assistants who helped create them

    • Behind the scenes of installing work across five continents, from prisoners in Germany to 70 assistants in Uzbekistan

    • The commercial strategy that funds large-scale installations through smaller original works

    • Why Zadok turned down a $1 million public art commission to maintain artistic integrity

    • The profound moment when his Blackfield installation helped a Holocaust survivor find hope again

    Zadok Ben-David is based in London and Portugal. You can find out more about his work on his website https://www.zadokbendavid.com/ and follow him on Instagram @zadokstudio https://www.instagram.com/zadokstudio/

  • Bonus: How to Do Residencies – And Other Big Questions for Installation Artists

    Subscribe to receive new episodes straight to your inbox: https://installationartpodcast.com/subscribe

    In this bonus episode, host Anastasia Parmson explores what it really means to approach residencies as an installation artist. Beyond the logistics of time, space, and materials, we dive into bigger questions that shape the medium:

    • How to make large-scale, site-specific work in short timeframes and unfamiliar contexts?

    • What happens when you choose temporary or fragile materials instead of archival ones?

    • Is the value of installation art in the object, the process or the audience experience?

    • Could installation art be considered disposable or should we always aim for permanence?

    Drawing from a recent experimental residency at DRAW Space in Sydney, Anastasia reflects on the challenges of working fast, improvising with cardboard and collaborating with others. But more importantly, you’ll be invited to consider your own approach to residencies, materials, and the long-term value of installation art.

    Whether you’re an installation artist or simply curious about how these questions play out in practice, this episode offers insights and provocations designed to spark discussion.

  • Dead Fish, Shredded Cars and Wax: Inside the World of Petah Coyne

    Episode 32 features an unforgettable conversation with acclaimed New York-based sculptor and installation artist Petah Coyne. Known for her intricate, large-scale works crafted from an extraordinary range of materials – from dead fish and shredded trailers to wax, taxidermy, and black sand. Coyne’s career spans decades and her works are in major museum collections, including MoMA, the Whitney, the Met, and the Guggenheim. 

    In this candid, in-depth interview, she shares not only her creative evolution and technical processes but also the personal stories, risks, and moments of doubt behind her monumental career.

    Key takeaways from this interview include:

    • The wild true story of how 5,000 dead fish played a role in launching her art career.

    • How Petah developed her own patented wax formula and the extreme logistics behind shipping large-scale works across the world.

    • A behind-the-scenes account of her first major institutional installation and the unexpected accident that helped get it reviewed by The New York Times.

    • Her perspective on rejection, persistence, and why she applied for grants every year for a decade before getting one.

    • Thoughtful reflections on time, mortality, and the pressure artists feel to keep creating.

    From poetic anecdotes to hard-earned wisdom, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a successful and deeply generous artist whose work, like great literature, lingers long after the first encounter.

  • Bonus: Why This 2026 Venice Biennale Scandal Is Splitting the Art World – with Carrie Scott

    In this bonus episode of the Installation Art podcast, curator and art consultant Carrie Scott joins me to delve into the ongoing controversy surrounding the Venice Biennale Australian Pavilion.

    Together we discuss:

    • How artist Khaled Sabsabi and curator Michael Dagostino were appointed to represent Australia at the 2026 Venice Biennale and then abruptly cancelled

    • The procedural, political, and social dimensions of the decision made by Creative Australia, its impact on the local and international art scene, and what it means for artistic freedom

    • Carrie shares her personal experiences and insights, offering a poignant perspective on the value of art that challenges and provokes.

    We also touch on recent tragic news that affects the Biennale more broadly and raises questions about who has the authority to decide what kind of art is “acceptable” or what art is about.

    In this episode, we sit down with Belgian artist Lawrence Malstaf, whose innovative work exists at the fascinating intersection of visual art, performance, and theatrical experience. Based in Tromsø, Norway, Malstaf has earned international acclaim for his immersive installations that transform viewers into active participants.

    Episode Highlights:

    • Lawrence shares his journey from studying industrial design (rather than fine art at his parents' suggestion) to discovering how this technical background gave him invaluable skills in working with contemporary materials.

    • We discuss Malstaf’s famous vacuum piece "Shrink" (1995), where participants are sealed between plastic sheets while air is slowly removed, creating both a striking visual image and physical experience that differs dramatically for viewers versus participants.

    • His recent focus on sustainable art practices and an innovative project creating "hotels" for endangered kittiwake seagulls in Tromsø, transforming an urban nuisance into an interspecies art project.
