    STASHED Exhibition Special with Gina Warburton

    In a BANG ON very special episode, we chat with Gina Warburton, Curator at The Whitaker Museum, straight from the STASHED exhibition space. STASHED presents the personal art collection of Short Supply. As long as they’ve been artists, they’ve been collectors. Open: 15th November - 23rd February 2025(Wed - Sun 10am - 4pm, Thurs 10am - 8pm) The Whitaker Museum & Art GalleryWhitaker Park, Haslingden RoadBB4 6RE “These are the things we can’t take our eyes off, the art we want to hold in our hands, the things we want to make sure don’t end up in a skip.” STASHED asks why more artists don’t consider themselves collectors, and what would happen if they did? Riffing off the Cabinet of Curiosities and bringing their living room to life in the gallery, this exhibition invites you to consider what you’ve got stashed in the attic, and questions how the art market really works (among friends making birthday gifts and swapping zines for paintings).

    Criticism as a Love Letter with Laura Robertson

    *Currently pepping myself up to write the copy for today's episode* Let writing into your life... We chat with Laura Robertson, a working-class art critic, writer, editor and award-winning lecturer based in Liverpool, represented by United Agents, London.  She co-founded The Double Negative online arts magazine with Mike Pinnington in 2011, and has been commissioning and platforming under-the-radar people, projects and places ever since – including under-represented and early-career culture writers from the North of England.  This episode is, as you may expect, all about WRITING. Writing doesn't always feel like it fits into an art practice, but Laura tells us all about how letting writing into your life and art can be transformative in more ways than one.

    Arts Education and All That Jazz

    We came, we went, we got the t-shirt... this week is all about arts education! Taking a step back from the deep of the art world, we have a think about our journey before we got there, and discuss education. The good, the bad, the ugly. What were our favourite moments, what are we frustrated that we didn't learn, and what do we want future students to take from our experience? This and more!

    Participation for the Nation with Grace Collins

    What is participatory art really about? We chat with Grace Collins (they/them), an artist and artworker. They create art with other people, support creative activity, ask lots of questions and listen to people’s answers. With a bit of luck this means creating spaces for justice, challenging and expanding learned ideas of what the world is allowed to look like. Grace tells us about their practice, and dives more deeply than we ever have before into the power of collaboration in the sector - come swim in the socially engaged deep with us, the water is fine!
