Easter Holidays, Ignorant Schoolmaster, Like... (29/03/24)

You know the easter holidays feeling? That's what it was like on this day. I read an excerpt from The Queer Art of Failure by Jack Halberstam. Afterwards I go to the pub and a man annoys me. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Medium/Format, Pedagogy, Scavenging (28/03/24)

Greeted by a grey sky, I'm back in Norway, and It's Easter. Everyhthing is shut during Easter in Norway.

Interference, Duty-Free, Lazy (27/03/24)

Finlay Hall podcast is back after a beautiful and, what might have been, the best summer ever (!) In this episode, I travel from Scotland to Norway, waste some time sampling some whisky at the airport, buy some cigarettes for Belen, then come up with a completely reductive theory about the political scale. PS. New things coming for the podcast, over the coming months. I'm going to attempt to do one of these episodes a week, and another kind of episode a month. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Wooosh Gallery talk to DJCAD Students at Cooper Gallery (26/03/24)

Myself and fellow Wooosh Gallerist Jamie Donald were asked by Cooper Gallery, to speak to the Student Curatorial Team about our art gallery in a car park, Wooosh Gallery. A real institutional mashup! Thanks to Peter Amoore of Cooper Gallery for hosting us and leading the conversation about our collaborative curatorial approach. Thanks as well to the students for asking lots of great questions and listening to our mad opinions of art and organising!!! and best of luck to all of them with all their future projects. :) This was recorded in an art gallery so the sound is kind of echoey and there is the sound of a video installation playing in the background but I got sounding as good as possible. Enjoy! ps. I'm going to continue updating these episodes over the summer, and hope to catch up completely. I've stopped recording everyday for now as I needed a break after my year at university. I think when I return I will change to a weekly format. Hope my listeners are well X -Finlay ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
