Episode 5: Céline Condorelli
In this episode we are hosting Céline Condorelli, an incredible artist with a sharp and critical mind. She’s a long-time friend and collaborator. And you will hear how beautifully elaborate Céline is when tackling questions around how artists can position themselves with respect to society, institutions and audiences.
“There's certainly the hierarchy of whose work is actually recognized. Like, for example, the artist is named, the cleaning lady is not named, or you know, the people who have built the wall are not named. However, the artist is often the only person in the room who's not being paid, which is also a different kind of hierarchy.”
From ecology to work, public spaces to friendship and support, Céline’s inquiries hit the core of cultural production today. Céline Condorelli is an artist, writer, and teacher. She is the founding director of the artist-run space Eastside Projects based in Birmingham. Apart from her highly acclaimed practice, she is best known for the publications she authored such as Support Structures co-edited with Gavin Wade.
