Art and Obsolescence Podcast ; 60

"For our 60th episode, we are visiting with artist, writer, filmmaker, and educator, Hito Steyerl. In addition to being able to find Hito's work in museums, biennales, collections, and bookshelves all over the world, a good deal of her single-channel moving image work can be watched freely online, which of course is a good thing, but Hito's work has also explored the darker side of what the global dispersion of images can entail - starting with her deeply personal pre-internet short film Lovely Andrea. Hito's work is often deeply socially and politically engaged - taking on issues of war, labor, surveillance, climate change, and more - and this social engagement and critique extends of course to her writing. Hito is not shy about turning her lens onto corruption that exists within the art world itself, as she did in her 2017 book, Duty Free Art: Art in the Age of Planetary Civil War - a book whose initial seed of inspiration was realizing that an artwork of her own had been purchased merely as an investment and shipped directly to a tax-haven Freeport art storage facility. Hito's installations are often ambitious in scale and immersion, and are incredibly spatially away of your presence - it is quite common to find a place for yourself as a viewer to sit, rest, and enjoy the work - in a way that is very integrated with the installation itself. In our chat we cover so much ground from Hito's origins in film-making, to going inside how she conceives of and creates her immersive installations, as well as some pretty real feelings about long-term preservation of contemporary art in the age of anthropogenic climate change and global energy crisis. This episode was made possible thanks to generous support from lovely folks at the Kramlich Art Foundation. Tune in to hear Hito's story!"-- provided by distributor.
