  • A Must-Listen for Artists and Thinkers

    Listen to the threads picked up and gently pulled and teased apart by artists in relation to works of fiction, poetry, and other writing. Always thoughtful, nuanced, and multi-faceted. Never an episode where I’m not introduced to a new work or artist. For all artists, but especially for artists living and working around London.

  • Fascinating and inspiring

    I look forward to listening to the Art Fictions podcast. I love hearing artists talk about their work and learning about their motivations and processes, and having the added bonus of the discussion around a book of their choice makes it even more interesting.

  • Brilliant

    Thoroughly enjoyed this all-encompassing conversation between Elizabeth Fullerton and Lindsay Seers, which provided such great insight into Seers’ fascinating practice and wide-ranging references. Listened twice as it was so rich and enjoyable - a really great dialogue. Looking forward to listening to the rest of the episodes.

  • Enlightening!!

    I adore Lindsay’s Seer’s work but one often leaves her exhibitions with a head full of questions one might like to put to the artist. So it was fantastic to hear Elizabeth Fullerton so ably hosting a this discussion with Lindsay on her multifaceted works as seen through the prism of her chosen book “Riddley Walker,” also a work of many threads. I’m so pleased to have discovered Art Fictions as I love the whole idea of artists discussing their works through books.
