She is opinionated, pragmatic and genuinely invested in making the art world less intimidating and more transparent.Key insights from this episode:• The real numbers: what art consultants charge• Why Carrie is building an art consultancy that is not centered around transaction• The controversial debate: should artists have an elevator pitch?• What galleries mean when they say "don't contact us" (and should you ignore it)?• Creative health as the third pillar of wellness alongside physical and mental health• Practical advice for ambitious artists and where to find helpful resourcesCarrie Scott is a curator, art historian, consultant and broadcaster based in London. She is the founder of Seen, a media platform and consultancy dedicated to connecting the art world to the real world.You can find out more about her work at https://www.seen.art/ and follow her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/carriescottcurates/00:34 Carrie's Favorite Quote03:34 Background and Early Life07:13 Journey into Art and Education09:58 First Job and Early Career Challenges21:26 Transition to Consulting and Launching Her Own Business40:24 The Value of Installation Art43:48 Challenges in Monetizing Installation Art45:35 Artist-Museum Revenue Sharing52:05 Curating and Supporting Artists56:26 Advice for Emerging Artists01:09:45 Dream Projects and Future PlansAlso mentioned in this episode:Brothers And Keepers by John Edgar Wideman: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50891912-brothers-and-keepersOverherd oat milk: https://overherd.uk/ | https://www.instagram.com/overherd.ukThe Wallace Collection: https://www.wallacecollection.org/ | https://www.instagram.com/wallacemuseum | @TheWallacecollectionJean-Honoré Fragonard: https://www.wikiart.org/en/jean-honore-fragonardDickinson College: https://www.dickinson.edu/ | https://www.instagram.com/dickinsoncollege | @dsoncollegeConde Nast: https://www.condenast.com/University of Washington: https://www.washington.edu/ | https://www.instagram.com/uofwa/ | @universityofwashingtonSeattle Magazine: https://seattlemag.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/seattlemag/The Seattle Times: https://www.seattletimes.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/seattletimes/Seattle University: https://www.seattleu.edu/ | https://www.instagram.com/seattleu/ | @seattleuniversityThe Stranger: https://www.thestranger.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/thestrangerseattle/James Harris: https://jamesharrisgallery.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/jamesharrisgallery/Rashid Johnson: https://www.hauserwirth.com/artists/2830-rashid-johnson/ | https://www.instagram.com/rashidjohnson/Nicole Klagsburn: https://www.nicoleklagsbrun.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/nicole_klagsbrun_inc/Matt Day Jackson: https://www.hauserwirth.com/viewing-room/matthew-day-jackson/ https://www.instagram.com/matthewdayjackson/Mika Rottenberg: https://www.hauserwirth.com/artists/23390-mika-rottenberg/ | https://www.instagram.com/mikarottenberg/Jimmy Moffat: https://www.instagram.com/jimmymoff/Art + Commerce: https://artandcommerce.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/artandcommerce/Annie Leibovitz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Leibovitz | https://www.instagram.com/annieleibovitz/Steven Meisel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Meisel | https://www.instagram.com/stevenmeiselofficial/Nick Knight: https://www.nickknight.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/nick_knight/180 Studios: https://www.180studios.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/180.studios/The Art Show on Sky Arts: https://www.carrie-scott.com/theartshoq | https://www.instagram.com/artshowtv/ | @theartshow791Simonette Quamina: https://www.simonettequamina.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/simonette_quamina/John Pawson:

For nearly 40 years, they've been chroniclers, producers, curators, and advocates for a medium that barely had a name when they first started.From publishing the definitive Installation Art books (1994, 2003) and commissioning hundreds of new works to building an extensive archive – Nicolas and Nicola have been at the coalface of installation art's evolution.In this wide-ranging discussion, they share what it was like convincing galleries that installation art even existed, why good documentation became their mission, and how they've sustained independent curatorial practice for four decades on "absolute shoestring budgets."Key insights from this episode:• How installation art emerged and why galleries insisted it was "just sculpture"• Coining the term "immersive" in their 2003 book (before it became ubiquitous)• Their philosophy of curating as co-production• The economics of independent spaces: how friendships sustain what funding cannot• Why they turned down a massive London space and turned to making books• The difference between installation art and the "entertainment industry" of immersive experiences• Advice for emerging artists: practice comes first, outcomes come laterNicolas de Oliveira and Nicola Oxley are based in London and run SE8 Gallery in Deptford. Their books Installation Art (1994) and Installation Art in the New Millennium (2003) remain foundational texts in the field.They publish artist books under their imprint Mulberry Tree Press and continue to curate exhibitions internationally while maintaining one of the most extensive archives of installation art documentation in the world.00:26 Discovering Installation Art01:50 Early Influences and Inspirations06:24 Founding Unit 7 Gallery07:30 The Role of Documentation14:45 Museum of Installation18:30 SE8 Gallery and International Projects20:05 Challenges of Space and Real Estate24:10 Curatorial Practices and Artist Relationships36:09 Writing Process and Collaboration43:02 Funding and Sustainability47:06 Installation Art and the Art Market01:05:08 Supporting Artists Through Time and Commitment01:07:36 Advice for Emerging Installation Practitioners01:17:58 Curating Shows in Different Countries01:24:09 Documenting and Archiving Installations01:43:44 Defining Installation Art and Its FutureSE8 Gallery: https://se8.gallery/ | https://www.instagram.com/nicode.oliveira?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Installation Art (1996): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12208566-installation-artInstallation Art in the New Millennium (2003): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1972215.Installation_Art_in_the_New_MillenniumOur interview with Hans op de Beeck: https://installationartpodcast.com/hans-op-de-beeck-018Bonus episode: What is Installation Art: https://installationartpodcast.com/bonus-025Bonus episode: Why This 2026 Venice Biennale Scandal is Splitting the Art World: https://installationartpodcast.com/bonus-031Also mentioned in this episode:Goldsmith’s University: https://www.gold.ac.uk/ | https://www.instagram.com/goldsmithsuol/ | @GoldsmithsUoLArte Povera: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arte_PoveraYves Klein: https://www.yvesklein.com/en/yves-klein/ |Allan Kaprow: http://www.allankaprow.com/Dan Graham: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_GrahamRachel Whiteread: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Whiteread | https://www.instagram.com/rachelwhitereadofficial/Bruce Nauman: https://www.moma.org/artists/4243-bruce-nauman | https://www.instagram.com/brucenaumanart/Edward Woodman: https://jhg.art/events/space-light-and-time-edward-woodman-a-retrospective/Helen Chadwick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_ChadwickThames & Hudson: https://www.thamesandhudson.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/thamesandhudsonICA London: https://www.ica.art/ https://www.instagram.com/icalondon/Whitechapel Gallery: https://www.whitechapelgallery.org/ | https://www.instagram.com/whitechapelgallery | @whitechapelgalleryCamden Art Centre: https://camdenartcentre.org/ | https://www.instagram.com/camdenartcentre/ | @camden-art-centreMuseum of Installation: https://www.moca.london/moi.html | https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/museum-of-installation-archiveNew Museum: https://www.newmuseum.org/ | https://www.instagram.com/newmuseum/ | @newmuseumPhyllida Barlow: https://www.hauserwirth.com/artists/2826-phyllida-barlow/KW Institute for Contemporary Art: https://www.kw-berlin.de/en/ | https://www.instagram.com/kwinstitutefcontemporaryart/Boris Groys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_GroysGoshka Macuga: https://www.moma.org/artists/131293-goshka-macuga | https://www.instagram.com/gonogo.space/?hl=enHans op de Beeck: https://hansopdebeeck.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/hans_op_de_beeck/Dave Hickey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_HickeyStefan Brüggemann: http://www.stefanbruggemann.com/ | a...

Subscribe to receive new episodes straight to your inbox: https://installationartpodcast.com/subscribeIn this bonus episode, host Anastasia Parmson explores what it really means to approach residencies as an installation artist. Beyond the logistics of time, space, and materials, we dive into bigger questions that shape the medium:• How to make large-scale, site-specific work in short timeframes and unfamiliar contexts?• What happens when you choose temporary or fragile materials instead of archival ones?• Is the value of installation art in the object, the process or the audience experience?• Could installation art be considered disposable or should we always aim for permanence?Drawing from a recent experimental residency at DRAW Space in Sydney, Anastasia reflects on the challenges of working fast, improvising with cardboard and collaborating with others. But more importantly, you’ll be invited to consider your own approach to residencies, materials, and the long-term value of installation art.Whether you’re an installation artist or simply curious about how these questions play out in practice, this episode offers insights and provocations designed to spark discussion.00:00 Introduction and Listener Review01:54 Invitation to Draw Space Residency03:47 Challenges and Initial Thoughts06:10 Execution and Community Involvement08:21 Building the Installation12:01 Final Touches and Open Day15:43 Reflections on the Experiment24:49 Conclusion and Future PlansDid this episode raise questions or spark ideas?We’d love to hear from you!

Episode 32 features an unforgettable conversation with acclaimed New York-based sculptor and installation artist Petah Coyne. Known for her intricate, large-scale works crafted from an extraordinary range of materials – from dead fish and shredded trailers to wax, taxidermy, and black sand. Coyne’s career spans decades and her works are in major museum collections, including MoMA, the Whitney, the Met, and the Guggenheim. In this candid, in-depth interview, she shares not only her creative evolution and technical processes but also the personal stories, risks, and moments of doubt behind her monumental career.Key takeaways from this interview include:• The wild true story of how 5,000 dead fish played a role in launching her art career.• How Petah developed her own patented wax formula and the extreme logistics behind shipping large-scale works across the world.• A behind-the-scenes account of her first major institutional installation and the unexpected accident that helped get it reviewed by The New York Times.• Her perspective on rejection, persistence, and why she applied for grants every year for a decade before getting one.• Thoughtful reflections on time, mortality, and the pressure artists feel to keep creating.From poetic anecdotes to hard-earned wisdom, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a successful and deeply generous artist whose work, like great literature, lingers long after the first encounter.03:52 The Dead Fish Prank07:36 Early Life and Artistic Beginnings14:40 How To Avoid School16:00 Moving to New York22:22 First Big Break and Installation Art41:34 The Importance of Archival Quality46:22 Finding and Working with Assistants48:53 Fragility and Tactility of Artworks51:09 The Stolen Sculpture Incident54:36 Selling Large Sculptures to Collectors01:07:04 Navigating the Art World01:09:52 The Importance of Feedback01:24:56 Funding Art Projects01:31:01 Experimenting with New Mediums01:37:43 Final Thoughts and Advice To ArtistsPetah Coyne is based in New York and is represented by Galerie Lelong & Co., New York: https://galerielelong.com/artists/11-petah-coyne/ and Nunu Fine Art, Taiwan: https://www.nunufineart.com/petah-coyneYou can find out more about her work on her website: https://www.petahcoyne.org/And follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/petahcoyneAlso mentioned in this episode:The Jealous Curator: https://thejealouscurator.substack.com/about | https://www.instagram.com/thejealouscurator/ Art For Your Ear Podcast, interview with Petah Coyne: https://www.thejealouscurator.com/blog/2020/11/20/just-be-wonderful/ Herron School of Art and Design: https://herron.indianapolis.iu.edu/ Art Academy of Cincinnati: https://www.artacademy.edu/ | https://www.instagram.com/artacademyofcincinnati/ | @artacademycincinnati Columbia University: https://www.columbia.edu/ | https://www.instagram.com/columbia/ | @columbia Jody Pinto: https://www.jodypinto.com/ Alice Acock: https://www.aaycock.com/ Donna Dennis: https://www.donnadennisart.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/donnadennisstudio/ Judy Pfaff: https://www.judypfaffstudio.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/judy.pfaff/ Holly Solomon: https://www.bonhams.com/stories/39878/works-from-the-collection-of-holly-solomon/ Sculpture Center: https://www.sculpture-center.org/ | https://www.instagram.com/sculpturecenter/# Marian Griffiths: https://www.artforum.com/news/marian-griffiths-1922-2008-189230/ Leo Castelli: https://www.castelligallery.com/about/leo-castelli | https://www.instagram.com/castelligallery Adam Gopnick: https://www.adamgopnik.com/bio | https://x.com/adamgopnik Chazen Museum of Art: https://chazen.wisc.edu/ Eva Hesse: https://www.theartstory.org/artist/hesse-eva/ Sol LeWitt: https://www.theartstory.org/artist/lewitt-sol/ Mary Sabbatino: https://www.cpal-info.com/mary-sabbatino | https://www.instagram.com/mary_sabbatino/ Gallery Lelong: https://galerielelong.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/galerielelong Guerilla Girls: https://www.guerrillagirls.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/guerrillagirls/ | @GUERRILLAGIRLSIréne Hultman: https://tdps.yale.edu/profile/irene-hultman-monti | https://www.instagram.com/irenehultmanmonti/The Installation Art Podcast is a show about people who love and work with the contemporary art medium of installation.
