Chus Martinez | Raw and Radical Women in the Arts
Spanish curator, art historian, writer and currently the director of the Art Gender Nature Institute at the FHNW Academy of Art and Design in Basel, Chus Martinez talks about reimagining the exhibition public space, the transformative role of art in society and being a woman in her field of work. It’s a pleasure to welcome Chus Martinez to the show and to listen to her enriching thoughts, opinions, and experiences as a woman in the very pit of the artworld. She talks about how she reimagines and innovates the exhibition space as a curator, art’s powerful impact in driving social change, and being a woman in the art world. We also discuss the mindset of artists working collaboratively versus this false idea of “the genius”, the experience of being immersed in the art education world, and the gradual coming back of man into cohabitation with nature. Conversation Highlights: Reimagining how to organize exhibitions The impact of art on society The gradual reconnection of man with nature Chus’s experience being in the world of art education Being a woman, and also a mother in the art world For more information on our guest, read the show notes or the transcript, know more about our podcast, or subscribe to our newsletter, please go to our website www.rawradical.com This podcast is made with the support of prohelvetia the Swiss Arts Council, The Republic and Canton of Geneva and the City of Lancy, Switzerland.
