Episode 03: Between Production and Reproduction—Career and Motherhood in the Artworld Art-agenda and Art Basel podcast

    • Visuell konst

Is working in the arts compatible with parenting? Do adequate conditions exist for art professionals to embrace motherhood without fear? How do these conditions vary from one place to another? With social practices and care economies embedded into artistic approaches, has contemporary art finally made room for women artists and curators to be mothers, or is motherhood still considered the kiss of death for a career? Between Production and Reproduction gathers a group of speakers (all mothers) to discuss their experiences, opinions, and proposals on how to juggle career and private life in the present.
 
With:
Chus Martínez, curator and head of the Art Institute HGK FHNW, Basel
Coco Fusco, artist, New York
Nadine Zeidler, co-founder, Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin
Moderated by Julieta Aranda, artist and editor, e-flux journal, Berlin/New York City
