Amidst the current climate of uncertainty and social distancing, e-flux is continuing to create podcasts for you to enjoy, and hopefully, to feel more connected by way of listening. Today’s episode is a conversation between Elvia Wilk and artist Anicka Yi. Stay tuned for more episodes in the coming weeks, and as always feel free to access and hear all of our past episodes on e-flux, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Soundcloud.
Since the beginning of 2018, the e-flux podcast has broadcast close discussions and exchanges with some of the most engaging people working in the greater contemporary art universe today. Recent episodes include:

Goldin+Senneby: Insurgency of Life
Live recording of Goldin+Senneby’s talk at the opening of their exhibition, Insurgency of Life, at e-flux. Rather than exhibiting a collection of existing artworks, Goldin+Senneby drew on bodily experiences concerning living with an autoimmune condition—multiple sclerosis or MS—and what that has meant for their joint subjectivity. The exhibition was also a retrospective of an evolving network of collaborators and collaborations the artists’ work has always depended upon.

Andreas Petrossiants speaks with author Leigh Claire La Berge about Wages Against Artwork: Decommodified Labor and the Claims of Socially Engaged Art, published in November 2019 by Duke University Press.
