Fatoş Üstek on Curation & Publicness

What is the role of public art in shaping our collective imagination? How does economics influence what kind of art is allowed in our public spaces? Where are the opportunities for radical new types of creative activity that can shift what seems possible?

Join artist Toby Tobias Kidd as he explores all of these questions and more with guests including artists, curators, and philosophers in a new podcast series in collaboration with Kings College London, Future Narratives Lab, Art School Plus, and Professor Shanbaum of Coventry University.

On episode five, host Toby Tobias Kidd is joined by international independent curator and writer Fatoş Üstek. She was the curator of Frieze Sculpture 2023, and has previously curated internationally across large-scale events, exhibitions, arts festivals, and biennials, as well as directing arts institutions and commissioning artists in the public realm. Fatoş recently released her book The Art Institution of Tomorrow, Reinventing the Model on Lund Humphries. She is also founding co-director of the organisation FRANK Fair Artist Pay, with artists Anne Hardy and Lindsay Seers which you can find at https://frankfairartistpay.com
