September 16, 2023 The Listening Tide with Irene Kopelman
It's when there is so much removed from our everyday surroundings and replaced with the totality of nature, that we find how much of our being is capable of listening. That listening is a possibility not limited to our ears.Artist Irene Kopelman sheds light on this with her stories and sounds from working as an artist in tropical jungles and open water. She reflects on how drawing is a kind of listening, and how this gives a certain agency to her subjects. Often doing so alongside scientists, we also hear about the similarities and differences in the approach and thinking that informs the manner(s) each practice in the field. As well as how each bring back their work to ‘our world’.

September 16, 2023 The Listening Tide with Roosje Klap (part II)
The episode began (part I) with a piece by Keith Jarrett Live from The Köln Concert (1975), and from this a thread of conversation was spun that could be described as the ‘community of things’, which plays such an important part of her person and practice. In this second part we continue in machined-learned opera and the algorithm, we Pump Up the Jam to Technotronic, hear a story about an owl in physiotherapy for his neck, and finish with Dutch heartfelt sorrow.In short, still really nice.Heads-up: next week's episode artist Irene Kopelman will share her sounds and stories of artistic practice in the tropical jungles and open seas, as well as her relationship towards and with science, as well as art. English spoken.

September 16, 2023 The Listening Tide with Nell Donkers (part I)
This week’s episode begins on a journey through the Netherlands, and ends within the unsure concrete structures of a creative-hub in Amsterdam, where our guest Nell Donkers works as archivist for de Appel, one of Amsterdam’s oldest and signature platforms for contemporary art. Nell has been a dedicated caretaker of this archive - which is such an important part of this institution’s distinction – for more than twenty years, and begged the question what would she bring?Her two distinct contributions -‘The Walk’ (1982) by Willem de Ridder (part I of the episode), and ‘a janitors manifesto’ (2023) by Gunnar Gunnsteinsson (part II) - lead our conversation to how voice and attention to surroundings change our perceptions, ambitions and desires. Also, she tells about where archival thinking begins, how artistic works – and working – can be captured, as well as what the notion of ‘clean’ could mean for the undertaking that is archiving.NOTE: this bilingual episode of The Listening Tide has been cut into two equal parts as we had decided to go from Dutch to English. Part I and Part II are best when listened after each other, but can also be appreciated separately.Enjoy!

September 16, 2023 The Listening Tide with Alexandra Phillips
For this episode, artist Alexandra Phillips takes the listener along on parts of her roadtrip through the Southeast regions of the U.S.A. where she was raised. A journey intended as an exploration of the many histories specific to this area, including her own. Histories that survive, have been erased, or hold the potential for a new way of looking and listening to loaded surroundings such as these.
Alexandra brought with her to The Listening Tide a large amount of the recordings she made while on this trip, and during the conversation that followed she speaks about the enduring presence of the history of slavery, the merits of autonomous artistic practice, and the spiritual aspects of language, change and creation.
NOTE: a transcript of the conversation between Alexandra and Joe Minter is available here.

July 05, 2023 The Listening Tide with Roosje Klap (Part I)
Who better to have as a first guest on The Listening Tide than a polymath like Roosje Klap? Designer, educator, researcher, filmmaker, opera-writer and mother, Roosje brings a spirit and wealth of possibilities to any conversation.The episode begins a piece by Keith Jarrett Live from The Köln Concert (1975), and from this a thread of conversation was spun that could be described as the ‘community of things’, which plays such an important part of her person and practice. The contributions she brought with her takes the listener on a journey from LP albums and their covers to AI & machine-learning, and from Sunday radio to Technotronic Pumping Up the Jam.
In short, nice.
Note: the conversation is Dutch spoken, and being the first episode – and so enjoyable to make – it went a little longer than planned, so this episode consists of two equal parts (±45min).
