Special 2-in-1 episode: A Friends Making Machine at the Middelheim Museum with Director Sara Weyns and Artist Monster Chetwynd

<p>A new (extra long) episode of All About Art with Director of the Middelheim Museum Sara Weyns and artist Monster Chetwynd</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, you get two interviews in one. For Sara, start from the beginning, and for Monster, you can skip to <strong>50min 49sec</strong>.</p><p><br></p><p>Firstly, Sara Weyns, the museum’s director and co-curator of the exhibition <em>A Friends Making Machine</em> featuring the works by artist Monster Chetwynd. We talk about how it all came together, what it looks like to work curatorially with a practice as live and multifaceted as Monster’s, and how Middelheim thinks about programming for an audience that ranges from contemporary art specialists to people who have wandered in to stroll through the park.</p><p><br></p><p>And then you will hear from Monster Chetwynd, the artist herself. Her practice pulls together interactive performance, sculpture, painting, installation, and video. Conversation and co-creation are essential to her practice, and, in line with the title of the exhibition, through artistic creation, new friendships emerge and the energy of these connections and support systems can really be felt in her work.</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you Monster and Sara for coming on the podcast!</p><p><br></p><p>- - - - - </p><p>If you love what we do, support ALL ABOUT ART on PATREON!  <a href="https://www.patreon.com/allaboutart" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠https://www.patreon.com/allaboutart⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Keep up to date on Instagram @allaboutartpodcast  ⁠<a href="https://www.instagram.com/allaboutartpodcast/ " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/allaboutartpodcast/⁠ </a></p><p><br></p><p>ABOUT THE HOST:</p><p>I am an Austrian-American art historian, curator, and writer.
