episode 200!

This week, a question from Hans Verhaegen https://www.hansup.be Fin de carrière It might be a taboo, but any thoughts on how artists in the last stage of their career can stay relevant? It’s something a lot of young and mid-career artists, probably don’t (or want to) realize: what to do when you still have 20 or 30 years to go, but your art and/or vision have become ‘less relevant’ and you find yourself slipping away in the background and falling off stage everywhere. A friend artist announced officially the end of his career some years ago, but now is even more desperately trying to get back in a spotlight. So that’s seems not a good Idea. Pretend to be still young mostly results also in very cringe situations and so to be avoided. What could be some of the more elegant and wise moves for the older artist to at least have a slight feeling she’s still part of the art scene/world? How to age gracefully as an artist? Any examples?  I love that picture of Matisse in his bed playing with pieces of colored pap

Lily Zlotover asks: "What advice or tips would you have for an Artist fresh in a new city?"

it's been a while!

Linda Loh asks: I am curious for you to dig more deeply into what Jeremy said recently about being averse to video art being projected, that it was a no no for that medium, because presumably it "belongs" on a screen. https://lindaloh.com/

This week, we talk about everything. + a field recording by Kai Udema https://kaiudema.com/

2 questions: Ariel Baron-Robbins asks: I’ve been debating what to call contemporary art that incorporates technology like computers, internet, blockchain, AI, software, and apps. Some artists prefer simply “contemporary art”, questioning the need to distinguish it from other forms. Yet, we differentiate between paintings, sculptures, drawings, and videos without issue….which brings me back to square one.  https://www.instagram.com/arielbaronrobbinsart/ Pyry Qvick asks: I recently won a poetry competition and now my book will be published. That has prompted some questions in my mind, since I have assumptions of my own on what people think of poets. Have you folks encountered unconfortable presumptios on being an artist? How do you deal with the possible stereotypes attach to you in terms of being an artist. https://www.instagram.com/pilkulleen/ + a field recording by Christina Latina https://www.christinalatina.com/

This week, 2 questions merged into one episode: Kris Meeusen https://www.lab101.be/ “When I work on something there is always this big tension between feeling excited or annoyed. The excitement usually comes from seeing something from a new angle which results in something that looks fresh and exciting to me. I get annoyed when the opposite happens, my explorations turn out to be boring or obvious. When this happens it's really difficult to stop working on it and let it rest , which I think is the best solution... Do you experience the same? Mark Rabo https://www.markrabo.com/ How do you think about time in your projects? Do you have an amount in mind when you start, or do you give things space? I find time to be one of the strongest influences on a project, good and bad. It can focus but also stress. With enough time, we change as people which changes the project. In my own experience, I started a project with a plan to be done in 6 months – I'm still working on it 7 years later. It's cliche to say I woul
