What If Creativity Is Really an Act of Investigation? With PJ Raval

Extraordinary Creatives

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 23, 2026 101:33


PJ Raval has spent his career asking a deceptively simple question: whose stories are we willing to see, and whose stories have we been taught to ignore? He's an award-winning Filipino American filmmaker whose documentaries explore identity, community, justice and belonging. Across films including Call Her Ganda, Before You Know It and Who We Become, his work follows people whose lived experiences reveal much bigger questions about power, history, colonialism, ageing, queerness and what it means to find home. What struck me most about this conversation wasn't just PJ's extraordinary filmmaking. It was discovering that before he ever picked up a camera, he trained as a molecular biologist. We ended up having one of my favourite conversations on the podcast about the surprising parallels between science and art, why experiments never really fail, and how curiosity can become the engine for an entire creative life. We also explore growing up as a queer Filipino American in a small conservative town, navigating isolation, discovering filmmaking almost by accident, and why every documentary he makes is also a way of understanding himself. If you've ever wondered how artists choose the questions that become their life's work, or how creativity can become a way of making sense of the world, I think you're going to love this conversation. KEY TAKEAWAYS The questions that keep pulling at us are often the ones worth following, even when we don't yet know where they will lead. You don't have to know the answer before you begin - the work can be the way you find it. There is a particular freedom in knowing when to let the work go. After months or years of making, we have to release our grip and allow other people to bring their own experiences, interpretations, and meanings to it. BEST MOMENTS “There's no bad experiment because you learn from it. So even if something quote unquote fails, its knowledge gained.” “Community isn't something that arrives once you've become successful. It's one of the things that makes success possible.” “PJ follows curiosity, trusts the process and allows the work to change him along the way.” “Ultimately, I'm most intrigued by and fascinated by people's lived experiences and by looking at these lived experiences, presenting them to an audience. Hoping that people understand these social issues and the context that these people are living in.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://unraval.com/ https://www.instagram.com/pjraval/ PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

How to ask for what you need without becoming 'The Difficult One'

Extraordinary Creatives

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 19, 2026 17:41


'I don't want them to think I'm difficult.' I've heard that sentence more times than I can count, usually about four minutes after somebody has told me the best news of their year. They've landed a gig, an exhibition, commission. The residency they've wanted since art school. We celebrate, then the room goes quiet, and out it comes. What they're worried about is never the work. It's the hundred emails from eleven different people wanting an answer that afternoon. The day of travel with nothing after it. The meet and greet with thirty people on arrival. Whether there will be somewhere to sit down for ten minutes. Whether the biggest decisions will land on the day they have the least energy. If you have ever done that arithmetic before saying yes, this episode is for you, because I want to give you something better than hoping it will be fine. Last week, I talked about my own experience of chronic fatigue and learning the conditions that let me flourish. That was the part we have some influence over. This part is harder, because it involves asking somebody else for something so we can work at our best. By the end, you will understand why asking feels so hard and how to do it without appearing “difficult to work with”. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most artists need certain conditions to do their best work e.g. ramp access, a day of rest between public events or meal breaks at particular times. But many worry that asking for “special” arrangements will make them seem difficult and affect future opportunities. Hiding the conditions you need comes at a cost. The energy you spend worrying about what people will think could be channelled into your work. An access rider gives artists a way to put their needs in writing before you're tired or under pressure. Every artist should consider writing one, whether they would describe themselves as disabled or not. BEST MOMENTS “When an artist told me early in writing exactly what they needed in order to do their best work, my honest reaction was relief, not irritation.” “The thing that actually frightens a producer isn't somebody with access requirements. It's discovering something on the morning of the install that could have been solved six weeks earlier with one phone call.” “You don't have to disclose a medical condition to anybody. In most countries, you're not obliged to, and a rider works perfectly well without one.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Why Making Bad Work Is the Secret to Great Art with Simone Brewster

Extraordinary Creatives

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 16, 2026 92:49


Welcome back to Extraordinary Creatives. Today's guest is the remarkable Simone Brewster. Simone is an artist whose work moves between sculpture, painting, jewellery, furniture, architecture, and public installation. On paper those disciplines might seem worlds apart, but beneath them all is one beautifully consistent line of enquiry.  Simone creates what she calls intimate architectures: objects and spaces that shape how we feel, how we connect and how we experience belonging. Drawing on Black diasporic histories, architecture, material culture and memory, her work feels both timeless and unmistakably contemporary. You may have seen her exhibition at the Design Museum in London, or her work in the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. In this conversation we talk about growing up in London, finding your creative handwriting, why making bad work is essential to making great work, and how to balance self-initiated projects with commissions, jewellery with public spaces, and creativity with business. KEY TAKEAWAYS So many creatives end up defining themselves by what they make, when actually it's the enquiry underneath the work that matters most. If you stay true to that, your work can evolve across disciplines whilst still feeling unmistakably yours. Developing your creative handwriting means accepting that bad work will sit alongside the good. Not as a failure, but as a necessary part of the line of enquiry that makes the work unmistakably yours. Creativity and commerce aren't opposing forces. Learning how to build a business around your creativity gives your practice the time, space, and stability it needs to flourish - creating the conditions for your best work to exist. BEST MOMENTS “The difference isn't whether you make bad work. It's whether you're willing to keep going, learn from it and make the next piece.” “You never know who is watching you….do the work - share the work.” "Your peers are going to be one of the most valuable resources you ever have." “That cultivation, staying connected to your true fans, your champions, is one of the best things you could be doing.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/Simonebrewster_london/ https://www.simonebrewster.co.uk/Sign up for Simone's newsletter here / https://mailchi.mp/simonebrewster/welcome-and-subscribe PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

What Chronic Illness Taught Me About Creativity

Extraordinary Creatives

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 12, 2026 31:40


There's something I've been thinking about for quite a while now. It's something I've talked about with close friends, but hardly ever publicly. Not because it's a secret. And certainly not because I'm embarrassed by it. I think, if I'm honest, I just never wanted it to define me. But over the last few years, I've realised that by not talking about it, I've probably left out one of the biggest reasons I think the way I do. Because so many of you write to me about Long Covid, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, burnout, depression, caring responsibilities and all the unexpected things that change what we're capable of physically or mentally, it feels like the right time to have this conversation. I'm not a doctor or a neuroscientist and this isn't an episode about fixing chronic illness or pretending mindset alone can overcome real physical limitations. It's about what happens when life changes, and you quietly keep comparing yourself with the person you used to be. Today, I explore what chronic illness has taught me about creativity, why so many artists find themselves grieving a version of themselves they've lost, and share some practical ways to work with your energy instead of constantly fighting against it.  KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the hardest parts of illness, burnout or unexpected change isn't simply what it takes away physically. It's the quiet loss of identity that comes from comparing yourself with who you used to be. Instead of managing time, start managing energy. Becoming curious about the conditions that help you think, create, and recover allows you to build a creative practice that works with the life you have now. Acceptance isn't giving up on treatment or ensuring that things improve. It's simply saying this is where I am today, because once we stop arguing with today's reality, things drastically improve. Protect your energy from the things that deplete you but be sure not to let fear disguise itself as self-care. Learn to tell the difference between a genuine need for rest from avoidance. It is key to building a brave, sustainable creative life. BEST MOMENTS "I hadn't realised you could grieve your own life." “What people couldn't see was the constant calculation happening in the background. Could I afford (the energy) to go out tonight?” "Become a student of your well-being.'" "Ask, what are the conditions that allow this version of me to flourish?"

Drawing with Light, Playing with Time with Reuben Wu

Extraordinary Creatives

I first met Reuben Wu when I was Director of Exhibitions at FACT in Liverpool, and he was one of the coolest musicians in the city, co-founding the band Ladytron and shaping a distinctive sound that travelled around the world. Years on, he's one of the most singular photographers working anywhere - his images are held in the permanent collections of the Guggenheim, MoMA and the Met, and commissioned by Apple and National Geographic, for whom he reimagined Stonehenge as if you were seeing it for the first time. In this episode, we explore his extraordinary journey from a Liverpool kid who dreamed of becoming an artist, to an industrial designer, successful musician, and then to one of the most distinctive visual artists working today. Reuben rigs lights to drones and walks into deserts and snowstorms at night to make work no machine could ever fake - because, as he says, AI can simulate the result but never the process. And he is fierce about something most artists are frightened of: that the artist, not the gallery or the auction house, is the best person to sell and speak for their own work. If you've ever wished someone else would do the talking for you, this one's for you. Follow the show so you never miss an episode. I hope you find this as inspiring as I did. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reuben's story gleefully dismantles the myth of the straight-line creative career. Proving no experience is wasted, everything you do can and does feed into the artist you are, today. Artists are often uniquely qualified to sell their own work because nobody understands the story, the labour, the intention and the meaning behind it better than the person who made it. Breakthroughs happen when you are prepared for them - when you're ready. Luck is preparation when it meets opportunity. Being able to respond to that instinctively to those moments, creates the magic. Tap into the power of portfolio reviews. BEST MOMENTS “No experience is wasted. The industrial designer, the musician, the photographer and the artist all exist inside the work Reuben makes today.” “I call it ecstasy - it's like an ecstatic moment where you are suddenly not within yourself anymore. You are suddenly outside yourself.” “It's like a paintbrush, but with light.” “Creativity is not a destination but a practice of paying attention.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://reubenwu.com https://www.instagram.com/reuben - sign up for Reuben´s newsletter via his bio here.

Why Avoidance Feels So Productive

Extraordinary Creatives

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 5, 2026 8:51


Welcome to the Extraordinary Creatives Podcast. I'm Ceri Hand. A former gallerist, curator,  now coach to creatives all over the world. I help them to make a bigger impact with their work and earn more money doing what they love. Recently, I have been noticing something, and I wonder whether you'll recognise it too.  We often think avoidance is obvious. We imagine it looks like procrastinating or scrolling social media or watching television instead of getting into the studio.  But I honestly don't think that's how avoidance shows up for most creative people. I think it looks responsible. It looks like being busy. It looks like finally getting on top of your admin saying yes to another teaching opportunity. Maybe helping someone else out with their project or sorting your accounts out.  All good things and things that genuinely need doing, and that's why it's so difficult to spot, because from the outside it looks as though you're completely committed to your creative life, and from the inside it feels as though you're working incredibly hard.  Then you get to the end of the week and realise that you've hardly touched the work that matters most to you.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Being busy is not the same as moving your creative practice forward. The work that keeps you occupied is often the very thing that keeps you from actually creating. Avoidance rarely looks like procrastination - it looks like responsibility. Admin, teaching, and helping other people all feel productive, which is exactly why they are so effective at pulling you away from the uncertainty of making your own work.  Your brain is not trying to sabotage your practice – it is trying to reduce discomfort. Every time you choose certainty over uncertainty, you reinforce the habit of stepping away just as the work starts asking something of you.  Creative confidence is not built by making uncertainty disappear. It is built by learning how to stay with it long enough for the work to emerge. BEST MOMENTS “She wasn't wasting time. Quite the opposite. Then I asked her how much time she'd actually spent making her own work, and there was a long pause, and she said, hardly any.” “Teaching gave her certainty. The studio gave her uncertainty, and without realising it, she'd slowly started choosing certainty over uncertainty, again and again.” “What I don't think helps is piling more pressure on.” HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

In this episode of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips asks leading menopause educator and GP Dr Ceri Cashell the questions on every midlife woman's lips – 'Should I consider HRT? Is now the right time to start if my symptoms aren't too severe? And what does treatment even look like, anyway?' They discuss what's happening as you transition from perimenopause through to post-menopause, the most common peri and menopause symptoms Dr Ceri sees clinically, how hormonal shifts can dramatically impact mood, and all the ins and outs of HRT – including Dr Ceri's advice for finding a great women's health doctor. About the guest:Dr Ceri Cashell is a Sydney GP and co-founder of Healthy Hormones, Australia's leading evidence-based menopause education platform.

Your Creative Work Matters and You Have The Talent To Bring It To Life with Ela Thier

Extraordinary Creatives

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 2, 2026 69:52


We're told that creative talent is something you either have or you don't. Ela Thier has spent nearly 40 years disproving this crippling myth. A New York–based writer, director, actor, and founding director of The Independent Film School, she's helped more than 65,000 artists find and develop their voices. Her films include Tomorrow Ever After, Foreign Letters, and her latest, 109 Billion Followers, stars Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons. In this conversation, we trace Ella's journey from being her mother's “wild weed” - a third child raised with very little supervision and a lot of imagination, through quitting filmmaking for almost a decade, to returning with a completely different relationship to her work.  We talk about the difference between writing as therapy and writing as a gift, why craft is learnable, and why Ella believes talent is simply the courage to be fully yourself. She shares how she keeps “the rent and the real work” in two separate hands, and the cast of inner voices who appear in her book How to Fail as an Artist: My Best Tips - from Mr. Stop, whose only job is to talk her out of it, to the 120-year-old version of herself she writes to when she loses her nerve. If you've ever stood at the edge of giving up on your work - or you're standing there right now - this one's for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS The story many of us carry is that our work is a private indulgence, a side‑note nobody's waiting for. You may never see the life it touches, but you are not creating into a void. Make the film, the painting, the book as if it already matters to someone, somewhere - because it does.  Your audience is not a panel of judges to impress, but the people you are taking care of. The shift is from asking whether they will approve of you, to asking what they need and making the work from there. Keep the rent and the real work in separate hands - asking your art to also pay the bills is a reliable way to do neither well. BEST MOMENTS “Ela … has made peace with failure without ever making peace with quitting.” “Craft is learnable, the writer or the filmmaker is already in there, and that talent is simply the courage to be fully yourself on the page·” “The book gave me, and gives people, permission to just mess around, which is where our best work comes from.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://theindependentfilmschool.com https://www.instagram.com/elathier HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Extraordinary Creatives

Every week inside the membership, artists send in their questions. Career challenges, pricing dilemmas, difficult clients, creative blocks, gallery relationships, commission nightmares, confidence crises. Ceri works through them live, unfiltered and at pace, with more questions landing in real time from the room. The result is one of the most popular sessions inside the membership. Fast, direct, occasionally sweary, and completely honest. No script. No softening. Just Ceri answering whatever artists are actually grappling with right now. It has yet to be proven that there is a question she cannot answer. This episode gives you a taste of what happens inside the Art Surgery every week. If you want the full session, the full archive, and the chance to bring your own question live, the membership is where it all happens. Join our Membership at - https://cerihand.com/membership/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Admin expands to fill whatever time you give it. Every email feels urgent. Almost none of it is. Batch it all into one admin day and protect the rest of the week for the work that actually matters. When anxiety spikes, “spray and pray” feels like action – but it isn't. Instead of firing off panicked applications, start by calming your anxiety, telling your brain nothing's gone wrong, so you can act from a calmer, more intentional place. One artwork can live many lives – One piece can quietly work for you all year, let it travel. That film or artwork can stay as a full piece or elements of it can be used for clips, newsletters, embeds on other people's sites and more. Selectors aren't hunting for perfect work. Most submissions are good. The ones that get remembered feel inevitable and alive – like the idea and the medium have clicked so well the work couldn't exist any other way. BEST MOMENTS “Rather than am I right for it? The question is - Is the work right for it? Would your work come alive in that context?” “We have to carve out the day to make ourselves the most clear-minded thinkers and makers. We have to give our time to that bit that only we can do.” “Don't do that little garden studio down because actually there will be absolute gold in there, and you want people to access it.” “We have to remind our brain that our creativity is fundamental to who we are, to everything we do … if we're not regulated. We can't do good stuff in the world.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Fast Robots, Slow Clocks: How To Design Art That Lasts Beyond Your Lifetime with Zander Rose

Extraordinary Creatives

Somewhere inside a mountain in the West Texas desert, a clock is being built to keep time for ten thousand years. All mechanical. Wound by whoever makes the day-long hike to reach it. Designed so it´s chimes never ring the same sequence twice. Zander Rose has spent nearly thirty years building it. He grew up in a junkyard on the Sausalito waterfront – boat builders, artists, an activist mother who went on to become mayor, and a flea market every Sunday where he and his father took machines apart to see how they worked. Before the clock he was making combat robots that won six world titles, fast machines built to win in seconds. Then he gave half his working life to the slowest object on earth. What he's really after isn't the engineering. It's a question I keep coming back to: Are we being good ancestors – and what would we build differently if we believed the future was watching? In this conversation we get into where that question came from, what it's like to design for someone who won't be born for thousands of years, and what the world's oldest organisations – a hotel run by the same family since the eighth century, temples older than most nations – know about lasting that the rest of us have forgotten. It will leave you thinking about being a good ancestor and building things to last. KEY TAKEAWAYS Trust the future. Build it room to think. Don't take options away from the people who come after you. The forest you don't cut down, the river you keep, the law written simply enough that the next generation can reinterpret it – that's the work. The conditions you grow up in aren't just backstory, they're training. A junkyard, a boatyard, a poor area – these aren't obstacles to a creative life, they're live laboratories. The places you learned to improvise quietly decide what feels possible to you now. Competition doesn't have to mean scarcity or shame. Other people's excellence can become raw material for your own growth, not evidence that you should stop. BEST MOMENTS “Look at what you're making this week and ask who it's really for. Then ask whether you're adding options to the world, or quietly removing them.” “Trust the future. Build it room to think.” “I was only interested in building something that was the first of its kind. I had zero interest in building another one of anything.” “Fail fast is definitely the fastest way to learn.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://rosefutures.com https://longnow.org HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Public Art: The Four Questions Every Artist Must Answer

Extraordinary Creatives

I'm Ceri Hand, and this is Extraordinary Creatives. Thirty-five years in the contemporary art world as a gallerist, curator, commissioner of public art, institutional director, and now coaching artists and creative leaders worldwide to make a bigger impact and earn more money doing what they love. Over the last eight weeks, we've built a complete commissioning practice together. We've looked at the mindset, the five signatures of under-pricing, the commission ecosystem, the inquiry filter, the chemistry call, the alignment document, paid concept development, the production agreement, managing the making, the delivery, the legacy package. What public art is, the roles you can play, and what changes when the commission is this big. So, today we're going to cover three things, and then I'm going to leave you with the one sentence that I hope you carry out of the whole series. KEY TAKEAWAYS Build your scaffold once, then run every commission through it. The artist who thrives isn't winging it each time; they've got a clear structure on the studio wall - they have stopped rebuilding the system from scratch for every new brief.  Run every commission through joy, safety and income filters before you say yes. When those filters are true to you and your practice they alert you early to commissions that look good on paper but still not right for you. Preserving your capacity for work that is truly yours. BEST MOMENTS “Saying no to a commission that doesn't pass the filters is not lost income, it's preserved capacity; every no protects the yes you're truly waiting for.” “Built once, used again and again. The artist who thrives has built the scaffold once and now runs their commission practice through it calmly, profitably, without drama.” “A process without the willingness to say no is just admin. It looks good on your website, does nothing for your life.” “The artist who wins commissions isn't the most talented. The artist who wins commissions is the one who makes it easy to say yes, makes it safe to trust them, and never starts from scratch.” Want grounded, art‑world‑tested guidance each week?

Late Starts, Long Breaks: A Survival Guide to the Art World with Hettie Judah

Extraordinary Creatives

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 19, 2026 81:36


The art world runs on storytelling. The story of the artwork. The story of the artist. And one of the most seductive stories of all, the one that says if you got your toe over the line out of art school, your career goes onwards and upwards from there in a straight line. My guest today, Hettie Judah, has been inside the art world since the early 1990s, as a writer, critic, curator and advocate. And she has written a book that quietly dismantles that story. How to Enter the Art World… After a late start, a first career, illness, raising children, a crisis of confidence, leaving it in disgust… In this conversation, Hettie shares how the art world's myths are really costing the people inside it, why the relationships that move careers are built in quiet galleries rather than at private views, and what the financial reality of a successful writing and curating life actually looks like. You will leave with a sharper read on the structures around your practice, and permission to stop measuring yourself against a career shape that was never real in the first place. KEY TAKEAWAYS The art world tells a particular story about itself - A linear career. A clean upward arc. The right schools, the right shows, the right age. And if you didn't get on that track, or you stepped off it, maybe to have children or it was never offered to you in the first place, the story says you missed your window. Hettie demonstrates that is not true. If you are coming back to your practice, or finding your way in for the first time, or rebuilding after a long stretch away, take this as the invitation. Not to enter someone else's version of the art world. To build the one that holds your work. Often creative labour is quietly self‑subsidised so the rest of us can have the books and conversations we need – think a £150 fee for an event, from which the writer or artist still has to cover train fares and providing their own books. BEST MOMENTS “You can construct the art world you want to be part of …. the structures around artists can be changed.” “We all need one another…. we all learn from the questions that other people ask.” “I really wanted the book to feel like you were having a conversation with a friend.” “I remember them (art works) with my body as well as my mind's eye. I remember them so strongly.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://apollo-magazine.com/author/hettie-judah https://www.instagram.com/hettiejudah/ Hettie´s books - https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Hettie-Judah/author/B00E9ZRESS HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Why Most Artists Lose Money On Their First Public Art Commission (Part 8 of 9)

Extraordinary Creatives

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 16, 2026 17:52


Artists – most of you who take your first public art commission lose money on it. Not because the budget was bad, but because nobody told you a public commission is not a bigger version of a private one. It is a different job, with a different shape, and the work that does not appear in the brief – procurement, contracts, maintenance, stakeholder hours – is what quietly eats your fee. By the time you realise what you have signed up for, you are eighteen months in, with years still to run, and no honest way out. Here is what I want to give you today: the six things that genuinely change when you step from a private commission into a public one; the hidden costs inside the budget that almost no commissioner spells out, and that you have to know to ask about; and the support structure you need around you before you accept the commission, not after, because by then it is too late. This is for artists invited to apply for their first public commission, and for artists already inside one who can feel the ground shifting and have not yet been able to name what is happening. This episode is part eight of a nine-part series on commissions. Last week we covered what public art is, the five reasons it gets commissioned, and the six roles an artist might play inside a public commission. If you have not heard that one, it sets the foundation for today, so start here - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-six-roles-artists-get-hired-for-in-public-art/id1709105337?i=1000776044291 KEY TAKEAWAYS Public art is not just a bigger version of what you already do – it is a different job, with different time scales, different power dynamics, and a different kind of authorship you step into for decades, not months.   The number in the brief is never just “your fee” – it has to cover engineers, fabricators, insurance, installation, maintenance planning, everyone's professional time. If it does not, you will be the one underwriting the project with your labour.   Build a small, smart infrastructure around yourself, so you can hold the integrity of the work through years of stakeholders, contracts, and weather, without burning out.   BEST MOMENTS “Read the brief, do what the brief asks, no more, no less.”   “Public commission budgets sound large and often aren't by the time you have to account for everything they have to cover.”   “You'll need public liability insurance, often at significant levels of cover.” EPISODE RESOURCES Episode 7 of commission series – https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-six-roles-artists-get-hired-for-in-public-art/id1709105337?i=1000776044291 HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

We Move Through Scales of Blue: Making Art That Holds More Than One Truth with Phoebe Boswell

Extraordinary Creatives

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 13, 2026 82:27


Ninety-six per cent of Black British adults don't swim regularly. That's the statistic from the Black Swimming Association that my guest came across while she was deep in research about bodies of water / about what they hold, what they absorb, what they promise. Phoebe Boswell is a Kenyan-British artist whose work has been shown at the Venice Biennale and in major institutions and collections worldwide. In this conversation, Phoebe talks about her latest large-scale commission for Art on the Underground, we move through scales of blue, now running alongside the escalators at Notting Hill Gate and Bethnal Green subway stations in London. She shares how she works with communities without extracting from them, why she stopped painting for twenty years and what brought her back, and what she has come to understand about figuration, freedom and the responsibility that comes with the work. You will leave with a deeper sense of what it means to make work that holds rupture and joy at the same time - and the courage it takes not to resolve them. KEY TAKEAWAYS Phoebe holds two things at once - A figurative practice that she describes as lovemaking - a sustained attention to the body, particularly the Black female body, as a way of truly seeing. And alongside it, a refusal to stay in the language of identity alone. Making work that holds rupture and joy at the same time isn't a flaw to be fixed. It's a way of working: that stays true to pain, history and politics while refusing to let go of tenderness, nuance, and beauty. Phoebe's approach to figuration, community and public space asks us to think more deeply about how we see who we work with. What we owe the people in and around our work, not just as subjects or audiences, but as co-holders of meaning. BEST MOMENTS “Art became a way of coming back to myself… it was a process of trying to re-see the self that had been kind of shattered. It was proclaiming myself, reminding myself that I'm still here.” “Art is this place for me to sense, to taste, or to test the borders of my own truth in a way that I don't think is always possible in real life. I think you go through seasons.” “Trust the porous borders between your projects. To return to what you left, changed. And to keep making work that is for the people in it, before it is for anyone else.” “I don't want to be free off the back of anyone else.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.phoebeboswell.com/ https://www.instagram.com/phoebe.boswell/ HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

The Six Roles Artists Get Hired For In Public Art (Most Don't Realise They Have A Choice) - Commissions Series, Part 7 of 9

Extraordinary Creatives

Artists if you've ever been invited into a public art commission, here's the thing nobody tells you. Most of you assume you've been asked to make a single artwork. A sculpture, an installation, a piece. You usually haven't. There are six different roles you might be playing inside that project, and getting the wrong one means you've quietly accepted a job you didn't sign up for. Worse hours. Different fee structure. Different scope. The same brief, with you doing the wrong work inside it. This is the most expensive mistake that artists make in public art. And almost nobody is told the roles even exist. Here's what I want to give you today: the five main reasons public art gets commissioned, the six roles' artists are actually hired to play and how to recognise which one you've been invited into), and one question to ask any prospective commissioner that reveals in 30 seconds whether they've properly scoped the project or are asking you to finish their thinking as well as the work. This is for artists curious about public art who haven't yet made the move, and for those already working in it who've felt a commission go quietly wrong without knowing why. This episode is part seven of a nine-part series on commissions. The first six cover everything from mindset and pricing through to the legacy package - the foundations you need before you take a single enquiry into public art. If you haven't done so yet, hit follow so you don't miss an episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understand which role you've been invited to at the start of the conversation. Ask yourself which of those five commission types is closest to what you make already and how you work - that tells you which kind of public commission to be looking for. If you're new to public art, treat temporary and meanwhile work as laboratories. They're lower risk for commissioners, and they let you test how your practice behaves in public BEST MOMENTS “Done well, a single public commission can shift the trajectory of an entire practice. Done badly, it can swallow two years of your life and leave you broke, exhausted, and quietly furious.” “Sometimes it's worth recognising you might not be able to be all things in public art.” EPISODE RESOURCES 1st episode in series - https://open.spotify.com/episode/3GoxWpKkkdZQE9pvvrGSNt HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Imagine setting fire to half your art budget before lunchtime. Seven hot air balloons grounded in a field. Fourteen speakers. The Birmingham Symphony Orchestra waiting to be paid. And a city council expecting you to reach a hundred thousand people by the end of the week. That is the kind of corner Luke Jerram has found himself in. And it is also the corner that produced Play Me, I'm Yours - pianos in the street for anyone to play. Two thousand of them. Seventy cities. Welcome to Extraordinary Creatives. I'm Ceri Hand. Follow the show so episodes like this land in your feed every week. Luke Jerram is the artist behind Museum of the Moon, Gaia, Helios, Park and Slide, Sky Orchestra, and Glass Microbiology. His work has been seen by tens of millions of people. Close to a thousand exhibitions across forty countries. Pieces held in over eighty permanent collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the Wellcome Collection in London. And he has built all of this from a studio in Bristol, with a team around him, without gallery representation. In this conversation you will hear how he funds projects nobody has made before, why he turned down Red Bull and Coca-Cola, and what he calls stamina of dissatisfaction - the last five percent that lifts a piece from good enough to worthy of people's attention. I hope you find this as inspiring as I did. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most artists make a piece, show it once, and move on. Luke lives with a piece across a hundred installations and refines it. That last 5% of refinement makes the work land, turns it into something enduring that funds the next project and the next. Being an artist is a marathon, not a sprint. A diverse practice takes longer to build. But that willingness to keep reinventing yourself creates adaptability. Don´t underestimate your ability to solve problems and learn from failure. It´s up to us to decide on the rules we play by. BEST MOMENTS “I like creating artworks that leave space for other people to be creative.” “If you knew you had to be rejected 100 times before you were a millionaire, you'd be really excited to get your first rejection, wouldn't you?” “There's no such thing as luck.

Scope drift, the polite, gradual expansion of a commission beyond what you agreed, eats twenty to thirty per cent of the original fee in unpaid work on most commissions I see. That isn't a margin problem. That's your profit. Gone. On every job. And it isn't because you did bad work. It's because nobody taught you how to manage what happens after the deposit lands. This episode is part six of a nine-part series on commissions — how to prepare for them, respond to them, deliver them, and stop them burning you out. If you haven't followed the podcast yet, hit follow so you don't miss an episode. Today we cover three stages. Managing the making - which is where most commissions go wrong, and almost never for the reason artists think. Delivery and the story of the work — the bit that quietly funds the next commission if you do it right. And the legacy package — the stage almost every artist skips, and the single most commercially valuable thing you can build into your practice. KEY TAKEAWAYS Once the deposit lands, you're managing 2 things: the work and the client's psychology. Build in named updates and review points so they feel heard, without turning the project into an open invitation for endless tweaks. Treat the legacy package as your quiet sales engine. A simple bundle—certificate, process images, care instructions, and a short narrative, turns a buyer into a custodian. Custodians come back, commission again, and quietly introduce you to your next three clients. Ceri´s tried and tested but simple 11‑stage process means you stop rebuilding your practice from scratch for every enquiry. Instead, you run each commission through the same calm, repeatable structure. BEST MOMENTS “Scope drift … eats 20 to 30 per cent of the original fee in unpaid work on most commissions I see. That isn't a margin problem. That's your profit. Gone.” "Saying no to a commission that doesn't pass the filters is not lost income, it's preserved capacity."

The Work That Lasts Speaks To What Is Stuck, Not What Is Comfortable with Lucia Pietroiusti

Extraordinary Creatives

The art that stays with you isn't the art that pleases you. It's the art that names the thing stuck at the back of your throat — the one you couldn't quite say out loud — and then makes it real. That's Lucia Pietroiusti. Curator of the Golden Lion-winning Sun & Sea, Head of Research & Emergence at the new Hartwig Museum in Amsterdam and Curator of The 2027 Autostrada Biennale. In this conversation, we get into why the works that last speak to the body before the mind, and what it really takes to hold space for art that risks making people uncomfortable. We talk about ideas behaving like people, about institutions learning to hold a piece of an artist's life rather than commissioning a piece of their work, and about being tethered and free at the same time. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. KEY TAKEAWAYS The artworks that stay with us often bypass explanation. They reach "something stuck at the back of your throat" before the intellect catches up, reminding us that feeling can be a form of knowledge. Meaning isn't delivered by the artist and received by the audience. It emerges in the space between them. The work offers coordinates, not conclusions - people find their own way through. Art creates meaning, connection, and transformation in ways that go beyond language. The most powerful art isn't the art that explains the world. It creates the conditions for people to feel, experience, and discover something they couldn't quite access before. Trust intuition, trust audiences, trust long-term relationships, and trust that meaningful work often emerges from uncertainty rather than certainty. BEST MOMENTS "An artwork that stands the test of time is one that speaks not to your mind, but to something that's stuck at the back of your throat. And in a sense allows you to release that." “There´s the sort of belly register - the heart, the body register, then there's the brain register, all of it working together…you're not over-emphasizing that it has to be understood intellectually first.” “Ideas behave like people - they need rooms to move through, and time to become whatever they are going to become.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/luciapietroiusti_/ https://luciapietroiusti.earth/ PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Artists, Get Paid To Think Before You Get Paid To Make (part 5 of 9)

This episode is part of a nine-part series on commissions. How to prepare for them, respond to them, deliver them, and, crucially, how to stop them burning you out. If you haven't followed the podcast yet, hit follow so you don't miss an episode. Today, episode 5 of 9 - If you only listen to one, I would ask that it be this one. Because I am going to tell you about the single biggest shift most artists can make in how they run commissions. It changes the economics. It changes the relationship. It changes how the client sees you. And it is still, astonishingly, the thing nearly every artist is not yet doing. It is called paid concept development. So, last week's episode. The enquiry filter told you this client was serious. The chemistry call confirmed they were a good fit. The alignment document came back confirmed, with minor amendments. The client is now saying, brilliant, love it, let's go. This is where most artists collapse. They work for free. Sometimes 5 hours. Sometimes 10. Sometimes, on larger commissions, 30 or 40 hours of unpaid concept work before a single £ is on the table. This is the shape of how artists lose weeks of unpaid labour every year. And most do not realise it is happening, because the work feels like normal commission behaviour. But it isn't. It is something an industry has normalised that is quietly killing its own practitioners. There is another way. KEY TAKEAWAYS Every industry where bespoke work is produced charges for concept work -architects, designers etc. It simply means the client is paying upfront for your thinking: visuals, materials, research, concept rationale, scale considerations. They keep that work whether or not they proceed. Paid concept development filters out the clients who were never going to commission anyway - before you've spent hours working for them. Once your proposal is accepted, move to a second, separate production agreement: final fee, a 50% deposit with a 30/20% payment schedule, named dates, fabrication details, and written responsibilities. No ambiguity, no loose ends. BEST MOMENTS "It's something an industry has normalised that is quietly killing its own practitioners." "You're not asking for something unusual, you're matching professional standards." "The 50% deposit is not optional. If a client pushes back on the deposit, that's information.” HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Soudan: «Les FSR multiplient les frappes sur les infrastructures d'El-Obeid pour terroriser»

Invité Afrique

Au Soudan, il y a un risque imminent « d'atrocités de masse », à El-Obeid, affirme le département d'État américain dans un communiqué publié dans la soirée du 22 juin. El-Obeid, c'est la capitale de la région du Kordofan du Nord. Elle est assiégée par les rebelles des Forces de soutien rapide, les FSR. Et la grande crainte du secrétaire général de l'ONU, Antonio Guterres, c'est que « les horreurs d'El-Facher, en octobre dernier, se répètent à El-Obeid ». Que faut-il redouter précisément ? Roland Marchal est chercheur à Sciences Po Paris et au CERI. Il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier.  RFI : l'ONU affirme qu'une concentration récente de troupes de la rébellion des Forces de Soutien Rapide laisse craindre une offensive imminente sur El-Obeid. Est-ce que vous avez les mêmes informations ? Roland Marchal : Oui, on le sait effectivement. Les observateurs soudanais, depuis pratiquement une semaine, mentionnent l 'arrivée au nord d'El-Obeid de troupes qui viennent soit de la frontière libyenne, soit du Darfour et qui constituent aujourd'hui une masse, disons, combattante, pour attaquer la capitale du Kordofan du Nord. Et pourquoi visent-ils cette ville de quelque un million d'habitants de El Obeid ?  Parce qu'El-Obeid est la capitale historique du Kordofan, avant de devenir celle du Kordofan du Nord, et surtout le dernier grand verrou stratégique qui ouvrirait la route vers Khartoum, mais aussi vers la province du Nil Blanc, donc plus au sud de la capitale soudanaise, ce qui permettrait aux Forces de Soutien Rapide, si elles réussissaient, de reprendre pied dans les régions agricoles les plus riches du pays et peut être, à terme, de faire la jonction avec les troupes qui se battent dans la province du Nil Bleu. Ce qui, évidemment, constituerait une défaite stratégique importante pour les forces armées régulières et le gouvernement qui, aujourd'hui, est à Khartoum. Le secrétaire général de l'ONU, Antonio Guterres, déclare : « Nous ne devons pas permettre que les horreurs d'El-Fasher se répètent à El-Obeid » ? Alors, compte tenu de l'histoire de cette guerre, on peut évidemment craindre beaucoup. Cependant, un analyste doit quand même rappeler que la perception d'El-Obeid par les Forces de Soutien Rapide est quand même très différente de celle d'El-Fasher. El-Fasher était la capitale du groupe Zaghawa, qui a fourni l'essentiel des combattants aux forces conjointes alliées, des forces régulières qui se sont battues avec détermination dans tout le Darfour contre les Forces de Soutien Rapide, et qui se battent aujourd'hui également au Kordofan, et qui constituent sans doute l'un des alliés militaires les plus importants des forces armées régulières. Donc, l'identification d'El-Fasher comme la capitale de nos ennemis les plus jurés ne fonctionne pas pour El-Obeid. On peut imaginer, mais en étant optimiste ou très optimiste même, que du coup, les violences contre les populations civiles ne seront pas de la même intensité. Ceci dit, depuis ces dernières semaines, on voit les Forces de Soutien Rapide multiplier les frappes sur des infrastructures d'El-Obeid, des infrastructures civiles qui visiblement visent à terroriser la population et à l'inciter à fuir la capitale du Kordofan du Nord pour rejoindre Khartoum ou quelque autre endroit, de façon à ce qu'El-Obeid soit plus facile à prendre. En février dernier, une mission d'enquête de l'ONU a fait état d'actes de génocide commis en octobre dernier par les Forces de Soutien Rapide à El-Fasher. Est ce que cette accusation très grave peut dissuader le général Hemedti de commettre de nouvelles atrocités ? Écoutez, je ne crois pas que les atrocités qui ont été commises à El-Fasher, et autour d'El-Fasher, étaient au sens plein ordonnées par le général Hemedti. Lui a des ambitions politiques nationales dont on peut penser ce qu'on veut par ailleurs, mais il sait très bien que la communauté internationale intègre tout à fait ces violences dans son passif et que ces actes de génocide constitueront demain une difficulté très grande dans son approche de la communauté internationale. Donc, lui, certainement a été plus prudent, plus réservé. Le problème, c'est évidemment sa capacité de contrôler ses propres troupes, alors qu'à El-Fasher, c'était vraiment une vengeance historique contre le groupe Zaghawa. Vendredi dernier, l'envoyé spécial d'Antonio Guterres au Soudan a appelé au téléphone le général Hemedti pour lui demander d'éviter toute action qui pourrait aggraver la situation humanitaire. Est-ce que vous savez ce qu'a répondu le chef des Forces de Soutien Rapide ? Le général Hemedti a été, comme il sait l'être, quelqu'un de très responsable, à l'écoute des demandes de la communauté internationale. Il a évidemment souscrit à toutes ses demandes. Il a annoncé que ses troupes organiseraient et autoriseraient la sortie des civils de la capitale du Kordofan du Nord. Et que ces civils seraient protégés, qu'il n'y aurait pas de violence systématique contre ceux-ci. Mais si vous voulez, encore une fois, depuis le début de la guerre, le général Hemedti a multiplié les assurances sur le bon comportement de ses troupes. Et sauf à penser qu'il est un menteur irréductible, on peut imaginer qu'il a été, à certains moments, de bonne foi et qu'il a été trompé par ses propres troupes. Samedi dernier, le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU a appelé, je cite, « tous les membres de l'ONU à s'abstenir de toute ingérence dans les affaires intérieures du Soudan ». Mais donc, les alliés des Émirats arabes unis que sont les Américains et les Français n'arrivent pas à être entendus par les Emiratis ? Je crois qu'ils sont entendus. Mais les Emiratis ont la volonté, en tous les cas, de changer sans doute la nature du pouvoir aujourd'hui au Soudan, ce qui les rend extrêmement réticents.

Trust Discomfort As Part of Your Creative Language with Amartey Golding

Amartey Golding makes chainmail sculptures that are seductive, threatening, funny, and deeply unsettling all at once. And in this conversation, he explains why discomfort might be one of the most important tools an artist has. Raised between London, Ghana, Rastafarian culture, council estates, and rural England, Amartey speaks with rare honesty about growing up between identities and how that tension became the emotional engine of his work. In this conversation, you'll hear how he learned to trust discomfort as part of his creative language, why audience feedback became essential to sharpening his voice, and how he creates installations that work not just intellectually, but viscerally — through sound, light, atmosphere, scale, and the body itself. We talk about the emotional labour behind ambitious projects, the crash that can come after making large-scale work, and why sustainability, family life, and building a nourishing environment now matter as much to him as artistic ambition. But perhaps most importantly, this episode offers a powerful lesson in how to develop your own artistic voice: not by trying to become someone else, but by listening more deeply to the contradictions, histories, and instincts already living inside you. This one is rich, layered, funny, tender, and deeply human. I can't wait for you to hear it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Belonging is not always about finding where we fit, but about reshaping inherited stories until they can accommodate more of who we are. Sometimes our work becomes a way of making room for identities that existing symbols struggle to contain. There are moments in a creative life when continuing to succeed at one thing becomes a barrier to discovering another. Growth often asks us to leave behind what is proven, visible and commercially rewarded. We romanticise the artist who creates through suffering. But, when people have enough security to be curious, playful, and fully present, they gain access to forms of imagination that survival alone cannot sustain. BEST MOMENTS “Extraordinary work rarely comes from pretending to have everything figured out. It comes from staying in relationship with the complexity. Staying curious enough to keep listening to your own voice as it shifts and evolves.” “For me, it's all about the visceral... it's all about the belly, making stuff from the belly.” EPISODE RESOURCES http://amarteygolding.com/ https://www.instagram.com/amarteygolding HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Artists, Don't Reply To That Commission Enquiry — Filter First - Part 4 of 9

Extraordinary Creatives

This episode is part of a nine-part series on commissions. How to prepare for them, respond to them, deliver them, and, crucially, how to stop them burning you out. If you haven't followed the podcast yet, hit follow so you don't miss an episode. Today, episode four of nine. And this is where the series shifts gears. For the last three episodes, we have been doing the preparation work. The mindset. The five signatures of under-pricing. The commission ecosystem. Today, an enquiry has arrived. This is the moment most artists get wrong because this is the moment their nervous system takes over. When an enquiry lands in your inbox. And before you've finished reading it, your stomach has tightened, your brain is already drafting a reply, and somewhere in the next three sentences you're going to offer availability, ideas, enthusiasm, and a half-committed yes – all before you know you are a good fit. And the principle is this. Before you reply with anything, you filter. How, is what today´s episode is about. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ceri´s short enquiry form is a low-friction sieve: it quietly filters out tire-kickers, and a serious client will fill it in within 10 minutes. The right questions reveal what they actually want, how committed they are, whether they really get your work, and whether their budget and timeline are realistic. After the enquiry form, you move into a chemistry call – 30 minutes - to ask important questions and spot red flags. Then, produce an alignment document to further test understanding. If the client confirms the alignment document, you move forward; if they come back with big changes, it's a sign you weren't fully aligned on the call – it's far better to catch that now than 3 months into making. BEST MOMENTS “Stage one of responding to any inquiry is the initial filter, low friction, high signal, a sieve, not a conversation.” “If those signals are weak, you slow things down, you don't ghost them, but you don't rescue them, you reply politely with more questions,” “The alignment document - a short-written document that confirms in writing what you heard, not a proposal, not a quote, an alignment document.” For a text version of today's teaching, plus new practical guidance every week, you can subscribe to Beat the Block at http://cerihand.com/subscribe EPISODE RESOURCES First episode of this 9-part series - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/designing-the-way-you-want-to-work-the-mindset/id1709105337?i=1000769915059 HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

I have two guests on the podcast today, and they have made something extraordinary together. The first drew queer Britain into being for sixty years and quietly refused to call any of its art. It paid the mortgage. It was cheaper than being a window cleaner. He published the world's first LGBTQ+ graphic novel in 1983, drew for Gay News, Capital Gay and The Guardian, made safer-sex campaigns through the AIDS crisis, and hung a nineteen-metre banner at Carrow Road for Justin Fashanu. All of which he called work - never art. That guest is cartoonist David Shenton. The artist who finally insisted it was art is Ian Giles. Together they have made Kindly Ease the Tension, David's first ever institutional retrospective. It begins with a small burnt doll, dressed in clothes knitted by a boy in a Lancashire terrace house and thrown into the fire by his father. The doll survived. So did the boy. In this conversation we get into what happens when somebody finally calls your sixty years of work art. We talk about the Duvet of Love; an AIDS memorial David stitched in a bedsit that he never meant to be art. We talk about the trans baton being passed in a moment when many in the gay community have gone quiet. We talk about censorship and the rising conservatism in the arts, the works that have to be shown after hours, the double standard between classical nudity and queer images. And we talk about what intergenerational care actually looks like in practice.  David is seventy-seven and says this retrospective has stretched his horizon by another ten years. There is a lesson in that for all of us. KEY TAKEAWAYS Some of the most important opportunities in your career won't arrive through a formal application process. They happen because you care enough to ask the question, start the conversation, or create the thing you wish existed. What feels awkward, unfashionable, or difficult in one chapter of your life may be exactly what gives your work its depth and originality later on - resist the temptation to self-censor. BEST MOMENTS “The work you make at your kitchen table, when nobody is watching, may turn out to be the archive of a generation. Keep going. Pass the baton when it is time.” “I really wanted to live in a world where there was a David Shenton retrospective.” RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/d.shenton https://www.instagram.com/iangiles https://www.museumscollections.norfolk.gov.uk/collections-object-page?id=NWHCM%20:%202016.221.1 HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

This episode is part of a nine-part series on commissions. How to prepare for them, respond to them, deliver them, and, crucially, how to stop them burning you out. If you haven't followed the podcast yet, hit follow so you don't miss an episode. Today, episode three of nine. The first practical stage of the commission process. Your commission ecosystem. In episode one, we did the mindset work. In episode two, we named the five mistakes that almost every underpriced commission has in common. Today we start building the structure. Here is the principle. Stage one of any serious commission practice is the invisible work. The four decisions you make, in advance, before any enquiry arrives. These decisions form what I call your commission ecosystem. Build it once. Revisit it annually. Let it do the work of saying no, so you do not have to do it in the moment. Why does this matter? Because the moment an enquiry arrives, your nervous system will want to say yes. The ecosystem, written down in advance, is the only thing standing between that yes and the resentment you will feel six months later. Four decisions. Let me walk you through each. KEY TAKEAWAYS Set a clear annual profit target for commissions - pricing will stop feeling vague or reactive any you will know how many of each type of commission you need to complete to keep your practice viable. A written rules list and clarity on materials, scale, and time protect you from burnout work and pull in the commissions that genuinely grow your practice.     BEST MOMENTS “The year is the unit, not the commission. Once you know what the year needs to earn, every individual commission conversation becomes easier, because you know what you're measuring against.” “This is the work. Nobody else can do it for you. But once it's done, every inquiry that arrives from that moment onward lands into a structure that already knows how to respond to it.” “Clarity makes an artist easier to collaborate with, not harder. It gives the people commissioning them something stable to work with.” For a text version of today's teaching, plus new practical guidance every week, you can subscribe to Beat the Block at https://cerihand.com/subscribe/ EPISODE RESOURCES Episode 1 of this 9-part series - https://podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/designing-the-way-you-want-to-work-the-mindset/id1709105337?i=1000769915059 HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Grief, Caregiving and Work That Shines Through It All with Alexis Soul-Gray

Extraordinary Creatives

Today's guest is an extraordinary artist whose work feels deeply lived rather than simply made. Alexis Soul-Gray is a British painter exploring memory, loss, and maternal lineage through richly layered works that move between abstraction and figuration. Based in Devon, her paintings feel both intimate and expansive. A graduate of the Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins, Alexis has exhibited internationally, received two Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grants, and won The Delphian Open in 2021. Alongside her studio practice, she also curates' exhibitions, including Declarative Language, a group show bringing together women artists whose practices have been shaped by caregiving within neurodivergent families. We talk about art school, grief, motherhood, caregiving, advocacy, and the challenge of continuing to make work that stays true to lived experience rather than outside expectation. Exploring the realities of artistic identity alongside financial pressure, loss, and resilience. What unfolds is an honest and deeply human conversation about endurance, creativity, and what it takes to keep going when life refuses to move in a straight line. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you've carried grief and caring responsibilities for years, the work you make in the margins is not “less than” - it's work that has learned to hold chaos, fatigue, school refusal, and hospital letters in the same frame as colour, gesture, and form. You don't need a clean, linear career to be an artist; you need a stubborn thread. The years of bad jobs, failed applications, family rupture, and self-doubt don't sit outside the practice - they deepen it. The culture will always reward tidy, repeatable pictures, but painting is something else: a willingness not to know the outcome in advance, to refuse being a production line for your own style, to risk disappointing people who only came for the last hit.  BEST MOMENTS “I just couldn't really see that my practice would ever become a full-time pursuit for me. It was very much the kitchen table … snatched moments.” “A creative life is not built in perfect conditions, it's built in real ones… sometimes the most important thing is not how quickly you move forward, but that you keep returning to the work.” “There is no neat formula here. No single turning point where everything suddenly resolves. Instead, what we hear is a gradual return.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/Alexis_soul_gray HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

The Five Signatures Of An Underpriced Commission – Part 2 of 9

This episode is part of a nine-part series on commissions. How to prepare for them, respond to them, deliver them, and, crucially, how to stop them burning you out. If you haven't followed the podcast yet, hit follow so you don't miss an episode. Today, episode two of nine. The five mistakes I see every artist make when pricing commissions. I see them every single week. In coaching conversations. In the Mastermind Circle. In private messages from artists I have never met who have found my work. Different artist. Different medium. Different decade of experience. Same five mistakes. Every time. If you listened to episode one, you'll remember I opened with a story about a textile artist, mid-career, who sent me a costing for a corporate commission and told me he was embarrassed. Today we are opening up his costing. Not literally his numbers, but the five mistakes inside it. Because every one of them will be familiar to you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Quote in the currency your costs are in; otherwise, you're letting the currency markets quietly price your work for you. If the market shifts in the time it takes you to create the commission, you can easily lose 5 to 15% of your fee. Your client sees the finished piece, but you lived a “three-month shadow life” around making it; your fee has to reflect the shadow life, not just the visible outcome. Day rates anchor your income to availability; move to project fees so you're pricing the value of a lifetime of practice, not slices of your calendar.    Treat bespoke and repeatable work as two different commissions with two different pricing logics and stop trying to negotiate all of that over email. BEST MOMENTS “When artists and creative practitioners move from day rates to project fees or to flat fees based on the scope of the commission, two things happen, the fee goes up and the quality of the relationship improves.” “Every commission disaster I've ever coached on can be traced back to a decision made over email.” “A good commission process protects three things. Your time. Your practice. Your sanity.” Don't forget, you can get a text version of today's episode plus new practical guidance every week if you subscribe to my Beat The Block newsletter – Access it here - https://cerihand.com/subscribe/ PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

When Music Meets Image: Crafting Emotional Worlds On Screen with Tiffany Anders

Extraordinary Creatives

Today's guest is someone who quite literally shapes how stories feel. Tiffany Anders is a music supervisor working across film, television, and advertising, and if you've ever been completely pulled into a scene emotionally, there's a good chance someone like Tiffany helped build that experience. Her work spans everything from the Sundance-winning indie film Like Crazy to major series like Reservation Dogs and Netflix's BEEF. What's remarkable is how seamlessly she moves between those worlds, bringing the same instinct, care, and emotional precision whether she's working with a tiny music budget or a global production. But what makes Tiffany especially compelling is how she got here. Growing up in Los Angeles around filmmakers and musicians, she absorbed how music and images work together to tell a story. That deep sense of listening still defines the way she approaches her work today. We talk about how a project unfolds from script to screen, how she figures out what a scene needs emotionally, and how she balances instinct with the realities of budget, time, and negotiation. We also get into collaboration, creative identity, and the invisible decisions that shape the emotional experience of film and television. And there are some brilliant stories along the way, from discovering music as a kid and playing in bands to her recent work on The Lowdown. If you've ever wondered how music really works in storytelling, or how to build a creative life that can hold both art and complexity, this is a great one. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your early environment matters, but it's not about having perfect conditions. In Tiffany's case, it was chaotic, it was under-resourced, it required her to grow up quickly. But what she did was translate that into skills. It's not about imposing taste or showing off knowledge. It's about understanding the world of the work deeply enough that the right choice becomes obvious. And that comes from years of paying attention. From being curious BEST MOMENTS “You needed those role models … to be able to go, okay, this is feasible for me, I can do this.” “In a world where it's easy to skim, shortcut, and replicate, Tiffany has built her career on going deeper. Listening properly. Understanding the backstory.” “Creativity isn't just about what you make. It's about how you think, how you connect, and how you move through complexity.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/jumblequeen PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

This episode is part of a nine-part series on commissions. How to prepare for them, respond to them, deliver them, and, crucially, how to stop them burning you out. If you haven't followed the podcast yet, hit follow so you don't miss an episode. Today, episode one of nine. The mindset. Because nothing in the practical work across the next eight episodes actually holds if the mindset is not in the right place. Let me start with a story. KEY TAKEAWAYS Before you draft a single document, you have to get honest about what you actually want, not what feels polite, not what you think people can afford, not what your imagined client might say yes to, what sustains your practice and keeps Your work alive. You're not responding to briefs, you're filtering them, shaping them, and sometimes quietly refusing them. A commission inquiry is not an instruction, it's a proposition. Your job is not to say “yes” by default, it's to decide: Do I want to make this? Can I make it well, profitably, and without wrecking my sanity? Audit your last two years of commissions: Which ones drained you? Which ones energised you? - notice the patterns. These will inform how you set up your commission process in future. BEST MOMENTS “When you define your process, your time and the kind of commissions that genuinely excite you, something changes. You stop bending yourself to every vague inquiry.” “The hunger for work that feels human, specific, and emotionally resonant is only going to grow the work you make, the way you make it, the meaning you bring to it, that's becoming rarer - not less valuable - more valuable.” “You're not responding to briefs, you're filtering them, shaping them, and sometimes quietly refusing them.” "Your role is not to shrink in anticipation of rejection. Your role is to articulate clearly what you offer, how you work, and what it costs."

Great Institutions Aren't Built On Perfection—They're Built On Permission with Joe Hill

Extraordinary Creatives

What does it take to lead an institution in a way that people don't just visit—but feel they belong to? Today, I'm in conversation with the extraordinary Joe Hill—Director and Chief Executive of Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and formerly the force behind Towner Eastbourne's transformation into one of the UK's most dynamic cultural spaces. From winning Art Fund Museum of the Year to hosting the Turner Prize, Joe has built a reputation for shaping institutions that don't just show art, but root it deeply in place, people, and possibility. But this conversation goes far beyond titles and accolades. We talk about what it really means to create cultural spaces that people care about—so much so that they protect them, claim them, and see themselves inside them. Joe shares stories of artists whose simplest ideas became the most powerful, why overcomplicating can kill a commission, and how trust—real trust in artists—is still one of the most radical acts an institution can make. We also get into leadership. The kind that isn't about control, but about creating the conditions for others to think, take risks, and occasionally fail. Because without that space, nothing new can actually happen. This is a conversation about stewardship, risk, generosity—and what it means to build an art world that people don't feel excluded from, but part of.  KEY TAKEAWAYS When an institution truly belongs to its place, it stops feeling like a white monolith you “visit” and becomes a living landmark people claim, protect and point to as their own. The most powerful work often starts from disarming simplicity and deep trust: a crayon sketch on a façade, an artist given space to think, a curator whose first job is to nurture the project out of the person and to be generous to both artist and audience. For the sector to stay alive, we need time and permission to think, to experiment sometimes get it wrong. Without that protected space for risk, we don't just lose ambitious projects - we lose the possibility of anything genuinely new. BEST MOMENTS “If you get an artwork really right, and people feel ownership of it… nobody's touched it… they protect it.” “We have to create some breathing room to fail, because then we can innovate, we can test things, and not everything's at stake.” “The deeper invitation here - stop overcomplicating what needs to be clear.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/joe_hill_joe/ https://ysp.org.uk HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

How to Get Press as an Artist

Extraordinary Creatives

Play Episode Listen Later May 21, 2026 13:10


Whether you plan on doing your own press, or working with a publicist, you need to understand how press actually works. Because if you don't, you can't brief a PR person well, you can't tell whether the one you're paying is any good, and you certainly can't do it yourself. After 35 years of generating press for individual artists, commercial galleries, biennials, festivals, and an institution running 2.5 million visitors a year through its doors, I'm sharing what I've learned about getting work covered, and what most artists get wrong before they've written the first line. Before we get into it — if you're not already following the podcast, hit follow now so this lands in your feed each week. There's a lot in this one and you'll want to listen back. We recently brought two specialists into the Coaching Membership for separate Expert in Residence sessions on this exact subject.  Laura Davis with 25 years as a journalist, formerly arts editor at the Liverpool Daily Post and Liverpool Echo, now writing freelance and running Raised Voices - her audience-development practice.  David Field — Cultural Communications Strategist and Business Development Consultant, with nearly 20 years in cultural sector communications across in-house and agency, now running a boutique consultancy working with art businesses, art fairs, publishers and galleries across Europe, the Gulf and Korea. They gave members the publicist's strategic view in two separate sessions. Two complementary angles on the same problem - both available in the Coaching Membership on replay at  https://cerihand.com/membership/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Most artists are sending beautifully crafted, completely useless press releases - a wall of text disguised as news - and then wondering why nothing lands. Until you can answer “why should this journalist care about this now, for their readers?” you're not actually pitching, you're just announcing. Often, the pressure point isn't the wording, it's the structure: one sharp sentence of what's genuinely new, one image that tells that story at a glance suddenly makes your work look like something an editor can say yes to. BEST MOMENTS “A press release is not a marketing leaflet for your work. It's a piece of writing aimed at one specific reader, a journalist on a deadline deciding very quickly whether your story is one they can sell to their editor.” “If you can't say what's new in one sentence, you don't have news yet. You have an announcement.” “Press is not the goal. Press is a by-product. The goal is to build the kind of practice, the kind of story and the kind of relationships that make press almost inevitable.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Intuition, Research, Ancestry, and the Slow Unfolding of Ideas Through Making with Charmaine Watkiss

My guest today is the artist Charmaine Watkiss, whose extraordinary creative journey took her through film, shoemaking, and advertising before she became fully wedded to her art practice. It's a path that has given her work a deep sense of craft, storytelling and material sensitivity and I know will inspire so many of you. Her paintings are held in public collections across the UK, and she is currently showing a new commission in the National Portrait Gallery's exhibition Artists First: Contemporary Perspectives on Portraiture. We explore how Charmaine actually accesses her ideas. She describes the physical rituals that help her enter a flow state in the studio, how drawing, sculpture, and painting each unlock different ways of thinking, and why the work itself often reveals its direction through the materials. We also talk about responding to museum collections, including her recent commission From the ones who came before… for Exeter's Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery, where she worked with objects from the museum's World Cultures galleries to imagine the women who carried botanical knowledge across the African diaspora. We explore why her own figure often appears in the work, and the quiet but powerful role plants play in her paintings as carriers of memory, healing, and connection. It's a fascinating conversation about intuition, research, ancestry, and the slow unfolding of ideas through making. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ideas often begin as something half-visible - a feeling or fragment sensed before it can be understood. The work starts by accessing that inner terrain. Then the materials speak back, slowly revealing a direction you couldn't have predicted. Working with collections isn't neutral; artists are in dialogue with what's missing as much as with what's there. Teasing out and sharing knowledge that would otherwise be lost or misrepresented. BEST MOMENTS “My wanting to connect to plants is because plants have the answers, and plants give us life as well.” “I'm not really interested in making work about trauma. I'm interested in making work about emancipation and about healing.” “She is not trying to claim a definitive narrative. Instead, she creates space for memory, reflection, and reverence. Her practice reminds us that art can be a form of cultural care and repair.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://charmainewatkiss.com https://www.instagram.com/mswatkiss HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

You leave the event. At first, it's fine. And then, somewhere between the coat rack and the journey home, it starts -  That conversation, that sentence, that moment you wish you could rewind. Why did I say that? That sounded awkward. I should've said something else. They probably think I'm …. And just like that, the whole night begins to shift. Not as it happened, but as a story about what you got wrong. We've been building this over the last few episodes: what stops you going, what happens when you're in the room, how you see yourself when you're there. This is what happens afterwards - the replay, the spiral.   This isn't reflection. It's rumination. And if you're a creative person, you are particularly good at it, because your job is to imagine, to create meaning, to connect dots, to tell stories. Memory and imagination sit very close together in the brain.  So, when something feels uncomfortable, you don't just remember it. You reconstruct it. You fill in the gaps, you add interpretation, you build a narrative.  And that narrative feels real, even when it's not accurate.   Today, I unpack why your post‑event spiral feels so convincing, how it quietly keeps you out of the rooms you want to be in, and share 3 practical ways to interrupt the loop so you can follow up and show up without the cringe. KEY TAKEAWAYS Artists rarely just leave an event. They are brilliant at rewriting it. That one sentence, that one look becomes: “I got that wrong.” “They weren't interested.” Not because it happened that way, but because your brain decided it did. When a warped version of how the night went is the only one you listen to, it doesn't just make you cringe - it quietly edits your future. You don't follow up, you don't go back, you stay out of rooms you should be in - your career stalls. Subtly shifting how you think about an event is all that is needed to get things back on track. BEST MOMENTS “Rumination is not about solving problems. It's about trying to reduce uncertainty and emotional discomfort - the mind loops not to find truth but to try and regain control.” “The shift is - change your relationship to the thought. Instead of I got that wrong, try I'm having the thought that I got that wrong.” “Give yourself a more grounded version of the event.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

صراعات بين قيادات فلسطينية حول ممتلكات منظمة التحرير في لبنان تنتهي بقضية في الانتربول! في الوقت الذي كانت فيه منظمة التحرير الفلسطينية متواجدة في لبنان، اشترت العديد من العقارات والممتلكات، وعند خروجها من بيروت ازدادت النزاعات حول ممتلكاتها وصولًا لليوم. في الأشهر الأخيرة ازداد الحديث عن قضيّة ممتلكات منظمة التحرير الفلسطينية في لبنان، وارتبطت بجوانب متعلقة بالفساد والرشوة، والسمسرة، وصولًا لإصدار مذكرة توقيف غيابية بحقّ السفير الفلسطيني السابق بلبنان أشرف دبور، والذي أوقفته السلطات اللبنانية نهاية أبريل الماضي، واتهم دبّور فيها ياسر عبّاس، نجل الرئيس الفلسطيني محمود عبّاس بتقديم تقارير كيديّة ضده. وللتعرف على الملكيّة السياسيّة الخاصة بمنظمة التحرير الفلسطينية في لبنان، توجّهنا للباحثة في الدراسات الحضرية، ربى وهبة، لتطلعنا على تفاصيل ممتلكات المنظمة في لبنان، باسم من سُجّلت؟، عمليات البيع التي حدثت، تسييل الممتلكات وكيف حاولت المنظمة شراء أراضٍ وعقارات لتعويض بعض الخسائر في عمليات البيع؟.

Beyond the White Cube: How The Line Brings Art into Everyday Life with Sarah Carrington

Today's episode takes us out of the white cube and into the open air. My guest is Sarah Carrington, Director of The Line, the public art trail connecting Greenwich to Stratford along the waterways of East London. If you've ever stumbled across an unexpected sculpture beside a canal, or discovered art while simply walking through the city, then you already understand the quiet magic of what The Line does. With more than two decades working across curating, public art and cultural strategy, Sarah has helped shape an organisation dedicated to bringing art into people's everyday lives. In this conversation, we explore what it really takes to bring ambitious public artworks into being, how commissions evolve over years, and how artists can begin building relationships with organisations like The Line. If you're curious about working in the public realm or simply love the idea of discovering art as you move through the city, this episode offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes. And Sarah and I are also inviting you to meet us in person. On Monday 13 July 2026, we'll be hosting a special Membership event at Cody Dock, where Sarah will introduce the thinking behind The Line, share insights into commissioning public art, and highlight key works along the route before we walk together through the sculptures. If that sounds like your kind of day, please do click the link in the show notes to join the Membership or visit cerihand.com to join us. For now, settle in and enjoy this conversation with Sarah Carrington. KEY TAKEAWAYS When art lives in the places we walk every day, like The Line does, it stops being somewhere we “go” and becomes something we live alongside. The work comes alive on the viewers terms. The best public artworks don't just decorate a place. They provoke questions. They connect people. They create moments where strangers stop, look, and talk to one another. Public art is a long game: you build relationships, stay with it, and you don't treat the first “no” as the final word - you innovate and adapt. BEST MOMENTS “When they come to The Line, they connect with one another, and they connect with themselves in a new way.” “That great public art doesn't appear overnight. Behind every sculpture or installation, you encounter in the landscape are years of thinking, research, partnerships, and conversations.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://the-line.org HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

« La voie de la négociation est plus utile et plus douce que celle des armes. » Voilà ce que disait l'un des négociateurs de Louis XIV. Mais l'actualité récente, qu'elle nous emmène en Iran, au Venezuela ou en Ukraine, nous pousse à nous demander si la diplomatie est morte. Ou bien si elle prend d'autres formes… Soumises aux réseaux sociaux, tributaires de plus en plus d'intérêts privés, et semblant balayées d'un revers de main par un président américain qui cultive l'unilatéralisme comme une force.

You're Not the Least Interesting Person in the Room

Have you ever walked into a room and instantly thought: They all know more than me. They're further ahead. They're more established. They've got better work, better contacts, better everything. And before you've even opened your mouth… You've already decided your position. Somewhere near the bottom. Over the last couple of weeks, we've been looking at what stops you in these spaces. First, the story you tell yourself before you go.  Then, how you interpret what's happening when you're there. This week is something deeper. What you believe about yourself in that room. This isn't about the room. It's about comparison without context. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you walk into a room as an artist, it's so easy to decide everyone else is more established, more connected, more interesting – and quietly put yourself at the bottom before you've even opened your mouth. Comparing without context is holding you back. You are taking other people's outside (their confidence, their contacts, their ease in the room) and putting it next to how you feel inside - You have no idea how long it took them, how many awkward nights they've had, or how often they've thought, “I don't belong here,” too. Instead of shrinking and slipping away early, use Ceri´s SHOW checklist - See that you're comparing without the full picture, Hold your physical ground, Offer one small, honest contribution, and Wait before you judge how it went. Learn to stay in the room and build real confidence, one moment at a time. BEST MOMENTS "You're taking a snapshot of someone else's career, confidence or presence and placing it next to your internal experience. And of course, you lose because you're comparing their outside with your inside, you see someone speaking confidently." "Let me be really clear, this does not go away. You can be experienced. You can be established. You can have done the thing you once dreamed of and still walk into a room and think, I'm not sure I belong here." "If you always assume you're the least interesting person in the room, you'll behave like it, and then you'll use that behaviour as proof." “In one conversation, offer something not perfect, not polished, just something - because that's how you start to gather new evidence.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Everyone Can't Be an Arsehole

Have you ever left an event and thought: "My God, those people are dull." "People were so rude." "No one made me feel welcome." "Blimey, I'm not doing that again." And by the time you get home, it's not just the event. It's confirmation - "The art world isn't for me." But if that's the story you keep leaving with… it's worth asking what's really going on – After all, not everyone in that room can be an arsehole. What you think you're reading in a room is often not the room at all. Your brain is wired to detect threat. Not physical threat. Social threat. A look. A short answer. A pause. And your brain fills in the gaps: “They're not interested.” “I've said the wrong thing.” “I don't belong here.” So, you withdraw. You close down. You leave early. And just like that… you've created the very experience you were trying to avoid and stop attending events – and miss out on all that they offer.   That's the loop. This week - I'm giving you a simple way to interrupt that negative loop. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your negative read of a room (e.g., “everyone is rude,” “this world isn't for me”) is often not an accurate reflection of what is going on. Your brain isn't passively reading reality; it's predicting based on past experiences and filling in gaps. What you feel in a moment is a mix of what's happening now and what your brain expects to happen. Asking “What else could this mean?” gives you a more open, less fear-driven interpretation. Ceri's KIND process is a simple, four-step way to interrupt the automatic “they don't like me/I don't belong” story. It helps you stay open, calm your body, and take one small extra action so you can create new, more accurate experiences instead of confirming old fears. BEST MOMENTS “What you feel in a moment isn't just what's happening now, it's what your brain expects is happening. So instead of asking, what did that mean? Try what else could this mean?” “Honestly, in a room full of creative people, it simply cannot be true that every single one is an asshole, it just can't. – So, if that's the story you're walking in with, it's worth asking, Is this the room, or is this my lens?” “She wasn't being excluded. She was reacting to a micro moment of uncertainty as if it were rejection.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She has sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci.
