| 5/26/26 |  Architectural Installation Pioneer: Donna Dennis on Scale, Space & Feminism | I made a 3-minute listener survey to help shape the podcast's future. Your feedback genuinely matters.Fill out here: https://forms.gle/qqHJrMXpsC9UYu2m7Leave a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/installationartpodcastBuy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/installationartpodcastDonna Dennis is one of the contemporary art pioneers who pushed sculpture toward the domain of architecture in the early 1970s. Her complex sculptural installations draw from overlooked fragments of American vernacular architecture.This conversation dives into five decades of art-making in New York's evolving art world. We discuss how she taught herself carpentry, pipe bending and electrical work to build pieces based on her body's scale. How Virginia Woolf's "Shakespeare's sister" gave her the drive to make work even if no one ever saw it. How feminism shaped her False Front Hotels as self-portraits when she decided "women's lives were worthy of study." And why she refuses to use the word "practice" to describe her work.Donna's work is held in collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Walker Art Center, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.Key moments from this episode:• From failing at abstract painting in Paris to her first steps toward installation• SoHo in the 1970s: how big raw loft spaces made it possible for artists to think bigThe Holly Solomon Gallery story: from studio visit ("we're buying a country house") to "I'm starting a gallery and I want you to be in it"—then Whitney Biennial within two yearsVenice Biennale 1982: realizing in April the show is in June, not 1984—quit your job, six assistants, work doubling in size• A car roll into the river in slow motion, with Donna’s belongings inside – and how that inspired a public artwork that also suffered a tragic end• ”A woman made this!?" The comment that captures why size matteredDonna Dennis is based in Germantown, New York.

| 5/12/26 |  Bonus: Biennale of Sydney 2026 – What Worked, What Didn't & Why It Matters | I made a 3-minute listener survey to help shape the podcast's future. Your feedback genuinely matters.Fill out here: https://forms.gle/qqHJrMXpsC9UYu2m7Leave a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/installationartpodcastA candid review of the 25th Biennale of Sydney, spanning five venues across Greater Sydney: from a regional gallery that got everything right to an old Power Station full of missed opportunities.I spent 10 hours at the media preview visiting all five venues: Lewers Penrith Regional Gallery, Chau Chak Wing Museum, Campbelltown Arts Centre, Art Gallery of New South Wales and White Bay Power Station. This isn't a comprehensive report, it’s my personal takeaway on what works (and what fails) when it comes to installation art at an international exhibition.The 25th Biennale of Sydney, titled Rememory and curated by Hoor Al-Qasimi, demonstrates something that's come up again and again on this podcast: you can have prestigious artists, important topics and historic venues, but if the lighting is wrong, if there's nowhere to sit, if the space outshines the art… it doesn't work.What I cover:• Why Lewers: Penrith Regional Gallery was the standout venue• Some highlighted works from each venue• The 11-minute sound installation no one experiences beyond 15 seconds – and other accessibility challenges• Documentation vs art – where is the line?• A moment of comparison: do island Biennales create better experiences?00:32 Biennale of Sydney Facts02:57 Penrith Gallery Highlight05:32 Everyone’s Favorite Installation08:06 Chau Chak Wing Museum10:31 Campbelltown Art Centre - Documentary Debate13:21 Art Gallery of NSW Picks17:12 White Bay Venue Challenges22:26 Video Overload Critique26:32 Installation Missteps32:48 Final TakeawaysBiennale of Sydney 2026: Rememory is on view until 14 June 2026, free entryMore info: https://www.biennaleofsydney.art/Review by art critic Christopher Allen: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/culture/worse-than-anticipated-how-the-sydney-biennale-became-a-site-of-mediocrity-and-irrelevance/news-story/efd37fe54c91806748fd89fda76f65f6Also mentioned in this episode:Biennale of Sydney: https://www.biennaleofsydney.art/ | https://www.instagram.com/biennalesydney/ | @biennaleofsydneyVenice Biennale episode: https://installationartpodcast.com/bonus-013Helsinki Biennial episode: https://installationartpodcast.com/bonus-039Lewers: Pentrith Regional Art Gallery: https://www.penrithregionalgallery.com.au/ | https://www.instagram.com/penrithregionalgallery/Nora Adwan: https://noraadwan.com/home.html | https://www.instagram.com/adwan.nora/Chau Chak Wing Museum: https://www.sydney.edu.au/museum/ | https://www.instagram.com/ccwm_sydney/Michael Dagostino: https://www.sydney.edu.au/museum/about-us/our-people.htmlEma Shin: https://emashin.org/home.html | https://www.instagram.com/ema.shin/Tuan Andrew Nguyen: https://www.tuanandrewnguyen.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/tuan.andrew.nguyen/Cambelltown Arts Centre: https://www.campbelltownartscentre.com.au/Home | https://www.instagram.com/campbelltownartscentre/ | @campbelltownartscentre8258Hoor Al-Qasimi: https://www.biennaleofsydney.art/hoor-al-qasimi/ | https://www.instagram.com/hooralq/Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige: https://hadjithomasjoreige.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/studiohadjithomasjoreige/Art Gallery of NSW: https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/Kuba Dorabialski: https://www.kubadorabialski.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/kubadora/Mia Wasikowska: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1985859/ | https://www.instagram.com/mia_wasikowska_/Taysir Batniji: https://www.taysirbatniji.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/taysir_batniji/Kapwani Kiwanga: https://www.kapwanikiwanga.org/Ron Mueck: https://ropac.net/artists/63-ron-mueck/ | https://www.instagram.com/ronmueckart/Mike Hewson: https://mikehewson.co.nz/ | https://www.instagram.com/mikehewson/MCA: https://www.mca.com.au/ | https://www.instagram.com/mca_australia | @mcaaustraliaWhite Bay Power Station: https://www.whitebaypowerstation.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/whitebaypowerstation/Christopher Allen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Allen_(critic)Cockatoo Island: https://www.cockatooisland.gov.au/en/ | https://www.instagram.com/harbourtrust/ | @HarbourTrust2088Frank Sweeney: https://franksweeney.art/ | https://www.instagram.com/frankbeee/Hui Ye: https://yehui.org/ | https://www.instagram.com/huiyeist/The Installation Art Podcast is a show about people who love and work with the contemporary art medium of installation.

| 4/21/26 |  Art as Playgrounds: Mike Hewson on Infrastructure, Risk & Responsibility | Listener feedback form: https://forms.gle/T6ywdFawXWKLu1UR6Leave a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/installationartpodcastA conversation with New Zealand artist Mike Hewson, recorded inside his monumental installation The Key's Under the Mat at the Art Gallery of New South Wales – a 2,500 square meter underground park complete with working sauna, laundromat, barbecues, DJ booth, recording studio and playground that's broken every visitor record the gallery has ever seen.Mike's practice straddles the complex lines between art, infrastructure and public liability. He designs playgrounds that councils don't know how to regulate, builds permanent public sculptures that must survive Australian weather conditions and human interference and he takes on legal exposure that would terrify most artists, all while fighting the perception that making functional, interactive work is somehow "beneath" serious art.Key insights from this episode:• The Christchurch earthquake moment: barefoot in a broken city, wondering whether he should keep pursuing art• Project backlash: dealing with public anger, going into debt on his first major commission and lessons learned• Strategic pivot: setting a new precedent as an artist-engineer• True scope of the AGNSW project and how he sourced materials for it• Hard truth and advice: burnout is not a sustainable business modelMike Hewson is a New Zealand artist based in Sydney.

| 3/31/26 |  Bonus: I Went to Helsinki Biennale So You Don't Have To (But You Should) | Take the listener survey: https://forms.gle/r2EN8w9C7wisUxJe7Help shape the future of the podcast! Your feedback matters. A bonus solo episode about my last minute art trip to Helsinki: what I saw at Helsinki Biennale on Vallisaari island, three must-visit museums (Kiasma, Amos Rex, HAM), and why sometimes the best art experiences require a little effort to reach.Last August, I hopped a ferry from Estonia to catch the closing days of Helsinki Biennale. In a day and a half, I discovered why island biennales create magic, why Nordic countries do art infrastructure better and what Australia can learn from Finland's approach to supporting artists and making contemporary art accessible to everyone.This isn't a comprehensive review, it’s my honest impressions, favorite discoveries and a few rants.What I cover in this episode:• Why the ferry journey to Vallisaari island matters (hello, Cockatoo Island nostalgia)• The challenge of installing art outdoors: scale, setting and competing with historic buildings• Standout works: Sara Bjärland's bronze "inflatable" sculptures, Tania Candiani's immersive bunker installation, Ana Teresa Barboza's woven bark forest• Three essential Helsinki museums: Kiasma (timeless favorite), Amos Rex (new obsession), HAM (Biennale HQ)• Gushing about Helsinki Central Library (Oodi): free recording studios, 3D printing, instrument hire – everything Sydney libraries lack…• Free museum days and artist benefits: how my Australian NAVA card got me free entry in Finland (but not in Sydney... explain that)00:00 Why I Went To Helsinki Biennale01:20 Getting to Vallisaari03:31 Island Setting and Challenges07:06 Scent Art Surprise08:46 Standout Works13:14 Lesson About Rushing15:28 Rainy Day Museum Crawl: Kiasma16:32 Amos Rex and HAM21:44 Finland Artist Perks23:37 Wrap Up and Listener PollResources:Listener survey - help shape this podcast! https://forms.gle/r2EN8w9C7wisUxJe7Send a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/installationartpodcast Write an email: https://installationartpodcast.com/contact Also mentioned in this episode:Helsinki Biennale: https://helsinkibiennaali.fi/en/ | https://www.instagram.com/helsinkibiennial/ Vallisaari: https://vallisaari.fi/en_US | https://www.instagram.com/vallisaari.fi Biennale of Sydney: https://www.biennaleofsydney.art/ | https://www.instagram.com/biennalesydney/ | @biennaleofsydneyCockatoo Island: https://www.cockatooisland.gov.au/en/ | https://www.instagram.com/harbourtrust/ | @HarbourTrust2088Olafur Eliasson: https://olafureliasson.net/ | https://www.instagram.com/studioolafureliasson/ Raimo Saarinen: https://www.raimosaarinen.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/raimosaarinen/ Sara Bjarland: https://sarabjarland.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/sbjarland/ Tania Candiani: https://taniacandiani.com/en/ | https://www.instagram.com/tcandiani/ Ana Teresa Barboza: https://www.anateresabarboza.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/anateresa.barbozagubo/ Nabbteeri: https://www.nabbteeri.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/maria_birkhuhn/ | https://www.instagram.com/nabbage/ Kiasma: https://kiasma.fi/en/ | https://www.instagram.com/kiasmamuseum Amos Rex: https://amosrex.fi/en/ | https://www.instagram.com/amoskonst/ Anna Estarriola: https://www.annaestarriola.com/ | https://www.instagram.com/annaestarriola/ HAM: https://www.hamhelsinki.fi/en/ | https://www.instagram.com/hamhelsinki/ Oodi: https://oodihelsinki.fi/en/ | https://www.instagram.com/oodihelsinki/ NAVA: https://visualarts.net.au/ | https://www.instagram.com/nava_visualarts/ | — | ||||||
| 3/17/26 |  Drawing in Space: Monika Grzymala on Tape, Ephemeral Art & Intuition | Get up to 40% off your Hostinger plan: https://hostinger.com?REFERRALCODE=INSTALLATIONARTA philosophical conversation with Berlin-based artist Monika Grzymala, whose spatial drawings transform architecture with nothing but kilometers of black tape, intuition and intense physical labor.Monika's practice is deceptively simple: she works alone, without assistants, using adhesive tape to create immersive three-dimensional drawings that respond to each unique space. But beneath that simplicity we discuss profound questions about ephemerality, energy, presence and what remains when a work only exists for weeks before disappearing…From training as a stone sculptor to making her first site-specific drawing on ice at a Hamburg skating rink, from dumping all her figurative work after one transformative conversation with her professor to developing custom tape formulas with German manufacturers—Monika's journey reveals how radical simplicity can be the most powerful artistic choice.Key insights from this episode:• How one professor's comment changed everything• The longevity of tape installations: 2-3 months before they fall apart (and why that's intentional)• Documentation philosophy: why time-lapse videos don't capture the real process• Living inside an installation: the collector who surrounded herself with Monika's work• Advice for emerging artists: you don't need funding or large studios—just do itMonika Grzymala is a Polish artist based in Berlin.

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.

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... | — | ||||||

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.

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.
