Ask Addoley + Anna Episode 6 Season 3

In Episode 6 of Season 3, Anna questions what Ask Addoley + Anna is doing for the museum (Does the museum actually want our help? Will they listen to us?) and notes the positive aspects of living in a smaller city. Addoley has mixed feelings about "marketability" and doesn't want to make art that just becomes more trash in the world. In this episode, we speak with artist Ebba Moi, Christopher Wick Wegner Simonsen, an art student at Kunstskolen i Stavanger, and Birgit Jordan, Special Librarian at the National Museum. With our guests, we discuss the pros and cons of small organizations working with larger institutions, the topic of trust and betrayal in experiences with contemporary art, how to prioritize time, fear of missing out, and more. -How can smaller institutions work better with the National Museum? -Which kinds of games or challenges can art institutions do to attract more visitors? -How can I succeed as an artist living in a small town? Is it always better to move to a bigger city with a bigger art community? -Is it okay to be rude to other people? -Do you have any advice on how to combine freelance work and your own work as an artist? How do I prioritize my time? -How does the museum reconnect artists and society? How to bridge the gap between those who are lacking resources to become engaged in art? -How important is consistency in my work? Can I work in more than one style and still be marketable? -How is the openness of the museum reflected in its exhibition texts, educational resources, etc, in the first meeting with the museum?
