Audience questions follow the conversation.In each episode, Alex and his guest speak about the same three themes:What do we find difficult about making and receiving art?Artistic subject matter and techniqueArt in ContextsThrough the four conversations, we discover themes common to artistic work, and explore issues specific to each guest artist’s field. This season, we delve into the fields of dance, theatre, fine art, and music.SCROLL DOWN FOR EPISODE LISTThe project aims to foster a quality cultural program for artistic communities and the general public. It creates a supportive and casual space to explore each artist’s personality, profession, and the creative process. It builds a shared intercultural space where Finnish and non-Finnish artists have an opportunity to reflect on their work and artistic lives. The talks allow artists and audiences to meet, learn from one another, and deepen mutual contact.The talks took place 1-2 times a month at Yö Gallery in downtown Helsinki in spring 2023. The conversations have been recorded and presented here as a podcast series to reach a wider audience.Please send us feedback on this pilot season!--PROGRAM AND RELEASE SCHEDULEThe host and Artistic Director of Artists Talking is Alexander Komlosi.Guest artists include a diverse group of Finnish-, Swedish-speaking, and international artists from various artistic fields working in Finland.EPISODE 1: Jenni-Elina von BaghDancer, choreopgrapher, and the Artistic Director of Zodiak, Centre for ContemporaryRelease date: September 15, 2023EPISODE 2: Mikhail DurnenkovPlaywright.
