Overview for JanChristensen

030 - Charlotte Hagelund

Before the summer I had the pleasure to talk to Charlotte Hagelund.
Together with Jan Christensen she started the consulting platform called Hagelund/Christensen.
They are looking to find new structures and business models for visual arts that will create a healthier art industry, in which far more people be able to access and appreciate art, and where artists get the support they need to focus and evolve in what they do best; making art.
This theme of improving the lives of artists and finding different and more healthy strategies is very dear to my heart so I hope you enjoy our talk!

022 AC/CA panel talk (part 2)

This is the main talk that accompanied the exhibition Merete Mortensen and me organized at the National Academy of the Arts in Oslo. It was held on the 20th of October 2016. In this talk we are exploring the role of the artist as curator or the curator as the artist.
From LA we had Paul Paiement and Carl Berg participating. Max Presneill unfortunately couldn't make it to the talk.
From Oslo we had invited Jan Christensen, Ragnhild Aamås and Hanan Benammar.
Our moderator was Rike Frank.
It helps to listen to the first part (http://fridoshow.com/podcast/021-acca-first-talk-part-1) befor you start on this one.

021 AC/CA first talk (part 1)

Together with Jan Christensen, Ragnhild Aamås, Hanan Benammar, Paul Paiement, Carl Berg, Max Presneill, Rike Frank and Merete Mortensen we had a conversation in preparation for a panel talk we held the 20th of October 2016. This accompanied an exhibition Merete and me organized at the National Academy of the Arts in Oslo where we were exploring the role of the artist as curator or the curator as artist. We were interested in the different positions and strategies of each participant related to their locale (Oslo vs LA)
This talk was meant to get to know each other and present ourselves so we wouldn't have to dive in cold on the public talk the day after.
Enjoy!

020 Jan Christensen

Jan Christensen joined me for a talk in my studio. We touched upon production strategies, collaborations, being an artist based in multiple locations, the internet and what the work in the back of the studio is. And yes, he answers that question at the end.
