Radio Level Five in conversation with Rachel Bacon Radio Level Five in Conversation With

Currently, Rachel Bacon is working on ‘drawings‘, which might be one way to enter the discussion: what this term, or rather, the act of drawing might actually include, in specific movements, in material production, in artistic choices. Moreover, these elements add up to questioning the process itself and the meaning of what it brings to the fore.

In conversation with the American-born, now Brussels-based artist, we approach these topics by exploring others. Among them: possible differences between the circumstances of art-making in the U.S., the Netherlands and London. How these differences reflect on the artistic work itself. Notions of working in public space and of leaving it behind. Aspects of the political, the non-political and the less political, of autonomy, responsibility, legibility, and about turning the pencil into something else, very slowly in time.
