Anouk Mercier – Marina Roca Díe | Artist Studio Secrets and a Career in Contemporary Art

In My Art Tools (new segment) we look into 2 artists' tool box: what is their fetish instrument? Artists think with their hands. Let's get technical! The artist's hand will guide you through the passion of following one’s vision, the pleasures of trusting an instinct, and the resilience it takes to work creatively. Hosted by Joana P. R. Neves. The guests: Anouk Mercier (UK + FR) and Marina Roca Díe (SP). In an endearingly geeky manner, the answers reveal fantastic methods and unimaginable stories. A big plus: hilarious little incidents and big misadventures that lead to a breakthrough, or a new possibility. What you get from this episode: Have you ever thought about the stuff art is made of? Wondered how artists make what you see in museums and galleries? How they train their hand, eye, body? Artmaking revelations, art techniques, lessons in resilience, art philosophies, ethical questions. → ⁠SIGN UP TO THE EXHIBITIONISTAS FILES: ⁠⁠⁠https://joanaprneves.substack.com/s/exhibitionistas⁠⁠ You'll know all about the artists, backstage information and much much more.
