Yarncast: Amanda Beech - Hard Cases

In this episode of Urbanomic’s Yarncast series, artist Amanda Beech (www.amandabeech.com) discusses the compelling power of crime fiction, TV shows and movies, the materiality of language and image, and how her video work interrogates the subject-positions and theories of knowledge and power embedded in these popular narratives. Yarncast is a series of podcasts produced by Urbanomic as a part of the research residency project The Ultimate Yarnwork at Bergen Kunsthall in January–February 2015 (www.urbanomic.com/event-uf34-details.php), and featuring in depth interviews with writers and thinkers from a variety of disciplines, centered around the concepts of plot and plotting.
