“I think we'll see organisations essentially deciding which artists get supported as opposed to artists applying directly to a funding body… There's independence at stake: the idea that artists can maintain independent practices where they instigate projects that may or may not operate within an institutional context...” This podcast looks at Connie Anthes and Rebecca Gallo’s collaboration Make or Break and what happens when arts policy neglects artists. Make or Break is a collaboration between Connie Anthes and Rebecca Gallo that began in 2015. Make or Break has worked across gallery, institution, festival and nightclub contexts to produce a range of process-based art projects. These have included creating experimental economies that address precarity and privilege; using galleries as live work spaces; performing personal admin for an audience; co-writing texts; circulating fictional currencies; making books; celebrating the invisible labour of strangers; and facilitating conversations and workshops as alternatives to traditional forms of research. Make or Break is passionate about exposing the role and visibility of labour, process and the artist/audience relationship in ways that question and challenge the social and political systems that surround us.

What does 2018 hold for contemporary arts? Let’s start this new year the right way. The Australian Parliament commences its new year on the week beginning Monday 5 February, with both Houses sitting for four days. At the same time, artists across Australia are showing work in independent and state-owned galleries; in public and unconventional spaces; and in studios and online. Each one of these exhibitions offers perspectives on contemporary Australia that are sensitive and complex, timely and urgent. Like each bill before Parliament, these exhibitions have involved many months—or indeed, years—of work to prepare for this moment. So what have Australia’s artists chosen to make work about? What does the critical mass of these exhibitions tell us about the pressing issues of today? What is on the arts agenda, and how will we take it into the future? This interactive discussion on contemporary advocacy for contemporary arts was led by Esther Anatolitis, the executive director of the National Association for the Visual Arts. Creative practitioners and curious minds were invited to take part in this pressing, political and pivotal conversation. Main image by Bec Capp

"Risk is not so risky. It’s a necessity. It is how forms develop, how we find new audiences, new artists, how cultural conversations happen." - Angharad Wynne-Jones In our momentous final, fifth episode on responsibility, Fleur and Jana speak with two great women of the Australian performing arts: all-round cultural leaders Angharad Wynne-Jones, Artistic Director of Arts House Melbourne, and Esther Anatolitis, Director of Regional Arts Victoria (formerly CEO of Melbourne Fringe). In an emotional, grounding ending to the series, we touch on some important, often neglected questions: how do we create an ecology that supports the artist, as well as the arts?" "The independent arts is a hell of a lot stronger than any arts minister in any doomed-to-fail attempt to politicise the ways that art gets made.” - Esther Anatolitis This is a very special episode. As Angharad and Esther spoke with an authenticity and feeling that is rare in public discourse. We felt very privileged to have them with us, and we all left in tears. Discussed in this episode: George Brandis, being a person with a 'decision-making potential and capacity to be confused', the future, 'creating new artistic frameworks for established arts companies' and what that could possibly mean, the difference between advocacy and lobbying, audiences, the importance of having rigorous conversations about art, being accountable to the rate-payers of the City of Melbourne, bushfires, Kat Muscat, burn-out, and what is cultural leadership anyway?! With this episode ends our season on responsibility, Fleur's baby, a season which has taken us some very deep places. We will take a short break now, to recover from the rollercoaster and consider what to do next. But stay tuned: we have more exciting and intellectually rigorous conversations to come.
