I Hope This Message Finds You Well, Kris Dittel & Eloise Sweetman (S3/Ep1)

I Hope This Message Finds You Well

Welcome to the third season of I Hope This Message Finds You Well, a podcast on curating hosted by Kris Dittel and Eloise Sweetman.

In this season we’ll be focusing our conversations around “the exhibition”. With our guests we discuss its status for curating, and whether we take the exhibition format for granted. We want to dig deeper into the exhibition as a location for the display and reception of artworks, a space of representation and liberation, and its limitations.

Today's episode is with us getting back into the swing of things, and we discuss a lot. From comments from listeners to the job of curating, vulnerability, power dynamics, what kind of feelings are allowed in the exhibition space and the space of work. We also share perspectives on the exhibition and what we think it can and cannot do.

The episode was recorded somewhere in August 2023.

If you have feedback we’d love to receive your email at [email protected]; you can also follow us on Instagram @ihopethismessage and find us on SoundCloud @ihopethismessage. The jingle was made by the artist Natalia Solzano and sound engineering by Nick Thomas. Graphic design by Christophe Clarijs.
