Studio Lunches was an autonomous podcast project by Chris MacInnes, supported by CCA. Its goal was to open up artists’ practices within Glasgow through conversation, exploring the diverse, obscure and intriguing interests that reside at the heart of this. This week I chatted to Katherine Ka Yi Liu about what she’s been working on recently. Katherine has a long-standing interest in language and identity and the mutations they have been subjected to under colonialism. We talk about how the Chinese language, her life in Hong-Kong, Chinese-British mashup meals and the colonial past of the city. Through anecdotal experience Katherine talks me through the changes in her cultural history and helps trace a path to the pressures of assimilation and cultural erasure written into globalisation. Audio featured: - excerpt from The kind of things that we fight against everyday but they ignore us, they silence us and they are still doing it, by Katherine Ka Yi Liu

Studio Lunches was an autonomous podcast project by Chris MacInnes, supported by CCA. Its goal was to open up artists’ practices within Glasgow through conversation, exploring the diverse, obscure and intriguing interests that reside at the heart of this. For this episode I met up with Mathew Parkin to talk about his practice. Mathew uses documentary and archival techniques within his video works as a means of exploring the elusive subjective histories of those close to him. The discussion here begins with an exploration of intimacy within video art and online. From there we weave our way through ideas of high cinema versus home video, as well as the tropes of iPhone footage and YouTube videos. Mathew helps me to unpick how love and vulnerability are lived and presented within our media-centred lives and in doing so offers us a space of comfort and touching awkwardness within the slick digital spaces we inhabit. Audio featured: - excerpt from I Believe In You by Mathew Parkin - excerpt from Vaseline by Mathew Parkin

Studio Lunches was an autonomous podcast project by Chris MacInnes, supported by CCA. Its goal was to open up artists’ practices within Glasgow through conversation, exploring the diverse, obscure and intriguing interests that reside at the heart of this. This week I went to meet Sulaïman Majali. Sulaïman is an artist based in Glasgow who recently presented a video installation with the V&A Lates program in London. We decided to begin by talking about rocks and the interest and importance of them to Sulaïman’s practice. Rocks feature frequently in his work; as body, as weapon and as physical history. From there Sulaïman guides me through the influence of Arabic poetry, the politics of the artefact within institutional space and digital space and the utopic/dystopic duality of CGI. These ideas lead us into a discussion on the quantum nature of diasporas and the resistive potential of speculative practices and unanswered questions. Audio featured: excerpt from this garden, this performed home that incessantly grows (scene 8; eulogy for an unnamed poet/wedding of guests) by Sulaïman Majali

Studio Lunches was an autonomous podcast project by Chris MacInnes, supported by CCA. Its goal was to open up artists’ practices within Glasgow through conversation, exploring the diverse, obscure and intriguing interests that reside at the heart of this. This time around I caught up with Stephanie Hier over Skype, which turned out to be a pretty appropriate format for our conversation. Stephanie had a recent exhibition at David Dale Gallery, which we take as our starting point in discussing her work and interests in general. Beginning with an exploration of the phrase, “the flatness of possibility”, we talk about image production and time within the online media-sphere. This phrase captures how when diverse images from across histories and context become ungrounded in online contexts, resulting in a breakdown of narrative; a temporal and conceptual “flatness”. Through this episode she helps me to unpack the merits of painting as a slow tool in a high-speed culture. And in doing so offers us a means for negotiating our contemporary world of contextual slippage, entangled timelines and impulsively generated imagery.
