We are thrilled to welcome Stephen Ellcock to the podcast during his press tour for the book Elements, which completes a trilogy with The Cosmic Dance (2022) and Underworlds (2023), all published by Thames and Hudson. This time, he has gathered images around the ancestral notion of "the elements", seen through the contemporary lens of sustainability and the impending climate tragedy.Is the book an exhibition? And if so, what kind? There is a mystery underlying these questions  which is the statuts and power of images in their different spaces such as galleries or publications. However, this episode is also an opportunity to get to know the image alchemist Stephen Ellcock a bit more.If you don't know Stephen Ellcock's instagram account yet, you should: @stephenellcockFollow us for more images: @exhibitionistas_podcastSupport us on our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/c/exhibitionistaspodcast/membershipMusic by Sarturn.

Om Podcasten

Call it arrogance, call it innocence: Exhibitionistas is tailored for everyone, from the art specialist to the art-curious with co-host conversations about exhibitions, art theory, feelings and context around solo exhibitions, guest interviews, and special episodes based on a particular topic. It's like an art-channel! I’m an independent writer and curator with a two-decade career in contemporary art, from commercial galleries to art fairs, from art history & research to curating. I was told so many times "I don't know anything about contemporary art" that I decided to do something about it.
