Episode Synopsis "Episode 3: Making Art in the Public Realm"
In this episode, we discuss artistic practices focused on public spaces together with artists Chloë Bass and Mark Niskanen. What can collaboration mean in an artistic process? How has the pandemic affected the artists’ practices? How can institutions better support artists making work for vast audiences outside museum walls? The episode features audio documentation of the piece Ghost Light (2020) by artists Mark Niskanen and Jani-Matti Salo, and cultural anthropologist Inkeri Aula. The episode is accompanied by an essay on public art and abolition by Chloë Bass, which can be accessed on the FCINY's website. Chloë Bass is a multiform conceptual artist working in performance, situation, conversation, publication, and installation. Mark Niskanen is a multidisciplinary artist working with lens-based media, sound, music, and installations. Primarily working in collaboration with Jani-Matti Salo, the artist duo Niskanen & Salo creates installations that weave together everyday phenomena and technologies. Withstanding is hosted by Elina Suoyrjö, FCINY’s Director of Programs. Visuals by TSTO / Jonatan Eriksson. Theme & editing by Retail Space, a Brooklyn-based composing duo. https://fciny.org/projects/withstanding
