Sebastian Errazuriz is an artist and activist who celebrates design's presence in every part of our life. He works with many disciplines. He is a craftsman, thinker, and creator who makes beautiful objects and fun things but also making provocative statements. His work is bold, ambitious, and experimental, touching on his own personal experience while connecting to the spirit of the age. It is always surprising, unexpected, and exciting, and if you know how to read it, you will discover layers and layers of meanings. They include themes of morality, religion, political and social statements, and the discovery of design as an agent of change. To Sebastian, design is a means of communication, questioning, and as a way to engage with the world. He is a brilliant storyteller, and today I am having him as my guest to speak about those stories and about how he conveys them in social media. While the world of design is currently struggling with the changing modes of Instagram, wandering between reels and posts, and navigating between AI and the authentic while questioning what makes Instagram influencers successful, it seems that he found the right formula.
Did you know that the US government spends just $5 per person per year on the arts? Or that over 50 countries have a Department or Ministry of Culture, but the US doesn't? In fact, the US has less government support for the arts per person than any other developed nation. These uncomfortable truths surface in The Art of Making It (2021), a fascinating documentary that follows a diverse group of young artists as they navigate an increasingly fraught art-world ecosystem. Directed by Kelcey Edwards, The Art of Making It includes interviews with six artists—Jenna Gribbon, Gisela McDaniel, Chris Watts, Hilde Lynn Helphenstein, Sebastian Errazuriz, and Felipe Baeza—at pivotal points in their careers. On today's podcast episode, host and NOT REAL ART founder Scott “Sourdough” Power discusses The Art of Making It, unpacking what the film gets right, where it flounders, and how it could've done better. “[The film] did a fabulous job of celebrating the world we love, some of the artists, and the art that we love,” says Scott on the documentary's high points. “It did a great job of level setting, and being relatable and relevant to those of us who sometimes might think we're crazy that we're in this business. But nope, everybody is feeling the same pain. Everybody's dealing with the same problems and challenges. It was a wonderful movie in terms of watching very fashionable, presumably smart, and successful people talk about something that we all love: art, artists, the art world, and all the problems that vex us and stress us out.”Scott goes on to discuss his main criticism of The Art of Making It: “It did a horrible job of offering any viable, real solutions to the problem or innovations for the problem,” he says. “That is where this movie fails miserably. It does a fantastic job of bringing the problems, identifying the problems, [and] clarifying the problems. It does a horrible job of offering any possible solutions whatsoever.” Still, the film has valuable art-world insights for those in need of a refresher. “If you haven't seen The Art of Making It, you need to see it,” says Scott in his final verdict. “It should be required watching for anybody that works in the art world.” Key Points From This Episode:A look at some of the amazing cast and crew behind The Art of Making It.What The Art of Making It did incredibly well (and what it didn't do so well).Scott unpacks his main critique of the film: many problems, no solutions!The reason why there tends to be very little disruption in the art world.Why the art world needs to evolve, innovate, and become more accessible.How The Art of Making It could have done a better job of inspiring change.For more information, please visit http://notrealart.com/the-art-of-making-it

If you hold the belief that the artist, by definition, lacks structure, discipline, or business sense, you really need to know Sebastian Errazuriz. Raised by a stoic kindergarten teacher mother as one of four boys, the high testosterone level in his home was contrasted by a massive appreciation for creativity. His art professor father, a man who would be moved to tears when conducting imaginary orchestras, created the arts program that children in Santiago, Chile learn from age 5 to 18. As his guinea pig, Sebastian's childhood was marked by the kind of rigorous training in the arts that is usually reserved for star athletes or aspiring concert pianists.Before he was 30, Sebastian became the second living South American artist to have his work auctioned within a Sotheby's sale of Important Twentieth Century Design. He is recognized for public art installations around the world, from Chile's national stadium to New York's Times Square, works that aim to arouse new perspectives and conversations about society's relationship with technology, immigrant labor, or religious extremism.During our conversation, Sebastian reflected on speaking art as a first language, why the art world compels its superstars to lie, how his creative process sometimes reminds him of other climaxes, and why you should never ask, and always offer.Presented by NUVO Magazine.
