ENTER THE PICTURE

Podcast on London-based emerging art, hosted by artist Kristina Pulejkova. Enter the Picture is conceived as a monthly podcast about emerging art in London. Through interviews with artists, curators, gallery and project space directors, the series will be mapping the network of emerging art in London. The sound will be captured with a field recorder and the guest gets to curate the space in which the interview takes place further adding to the podcast’s site-specific nature. This could be their favourite gallery, studio space or their local pub. Essentially, the podcast is designed as a survival toolkit for artists who are starting their career and will try to cast some light on the artist/curator/director’s practice and processes. Guests will give advice and share stories of how they got to the stage where they are now.

Enter The Picture - Interview with Marta Di Francesco

26 October 2017

Following a one month break, I meet with artist Marta Di Francesco for the fourth Enter The Picture episode. It is the week leading up to Halloween and we found the Dalston Curve Garden filled with pumpkin lanterns. As we sit down with our pints, we start talking about Marta’s work that combines poetics with code, time displacement and digital identity, with the sound of kids playing in the background.

Enter The Picture - Interview with Bob Bicknell-Knight

17 August 2017

I met up with artist and curator Bob Bicknell-Knight in Brockwell Park only to realise that I didn’t bring my SD card with me. So luckily Bob agreed to a short walk to my garden where we finally sat down to chat about online vs. offline curating, Pepe the Frog and USB sticks as artworks. 

Bob Bicknell-Knight is a founder of the online space isthisit and a director of the A217 Gallery.

Enter The Picture - Interview with artist Ana Milenkovic

2 July 2017

I met up with artist Ana Milenkovic in her studio in central London. In spite of the busy location, it is quiet in the studio with only the sound of the fan keeping the temperature down on one of those rare summer days. Sat in front of her latest work (depicted above) which is still in progress, we discussed the post-internet, painting in the digital age and the Griffin Art prize amongst other things.

Enter The Picture - Interview with artist Daniel Silva

15 June 2017

I met up with artist Daniel Silva on a cloudy morning at the Barbican Centre. After an unsuccessful attempt to get ourselves into the private gardens, we settled in a corner close to the fountains. I caught Daniel just before his trip for an artist residency in Japan, leading up to a solo show at the Baert Gallery in Los Angeles. Tune in to hear about beeswax as medium, book recommendations and tips for a more productive workflow in the studio.
